Me. Writing up turns takes a few hours, and I didn't get around to it today, sorry.

Fake edit - Wolfchild was late on his turn, and would have been skipped completely if I had done the turn today.

[Cheddarius]

What I believe Techno is saying is...

I PM my Turn...
I then Post in Thread saying Turn PMed...

Yes, that seems to be what he is saying. I'm fine with this, it would be informative to people. I just don't think you should force people to do it. It would be more convenient, I think, for Nirur Torir to post who needs to send in their turns instead of a whole bunch of people posting and then anyone interested has to look through the last several pages to find who sent in their turns, etc.

[techno65535]

That was what I was saying. But was just a suggestion anyway.

*Waits for the turn to pop up while at work.*

I think that Nirur should not have any more workload, of course, it would be comforting to know that turns had been recognised by the host, but if we weren't willing to put up with a bit of Fun, why would we be here?

I wonder if something like Gametable could be used to keep track of unit positions...

[Cheddarius]

Well, he's doing it anyways, right? It's not like he goes, "Hmmm, I think most people have a turn in, I guess I'll make the turn and whoever hasn't put in a turn can go screw themselves." Presumably he already knows who needs to put in a turn, in order to PM them and such.

Maybe, I always assumed that the turns were assembled by wearing a blindfold and throwing darts at a keyboard...

Any work on the turn today?

[Nirur Torir]

Something like that, yes.

Still no turn yet, sorry. Instead, I bring you a rough mock-up of the system map:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Drawing not to scale.

The number shows the number of hexes between the bodies. Brown dots are like Krigg, blue dots are like Siren, and gray dots are asteroids. Small dots are moons or asteroids, medium dots are planets, and the large dot is Alpha Centauri Alpha. Beta's off doing its own thing, somewhere else.
This will change once I try to map it out and realize that the numbers don't fit. The question is, which way should it be changed?

[Cheddarius]

Ooh, spoilers! Though it's a bit confusing... I'll wait until it's elaborated on "at a later date", I guess.

What "ways" are there? What do you mean by that? Like, remove hexes completely and just do a distance calculation for space? I don't like that way. I like hexes.

I'll try to draw up a map, to try to have a "proof of concept" and try to make the numbers fit. However! I could be, you know, secretly/subconsciously making the map more beneficial to me (e.g. make asteroids and planets nearer to Krigg and further from Siren). So you shouldn't just use my map, and you shouldn't not use my map (because then I could submit a map I didn't like to ensure it wasn't used). You should just examine it, and use it to generate a new map, whether that is my map or not.

Space will behave just like the other maps. I meant suggestions for distances.

The real map will be a recolored and re-sized planetary map. I won't stop you from submitting your own ideas of what the map should look like, of course, but this is my basic idea of what the map will look like, barring changes.

[IronyOwl]

I hate to be a bother, seeing as I'm not even playing, but is the info in the first post correct and updated with regards to research and unit formulae, or could you post it again? It seems like nobody's got it fully grasped.

..oh. Well, here's my mockup. I tried to stay as close to the original angles as possible; note that the bottom planet might be lower by a little bit, if you want to make the angle lower. I ran out of room.

I dunno, a lot of people seem to be fine with it. RAM, Knight Otu, and I, for example, haven't really had any problems.

[RAM]

Looks good to me, although you may want to make the better planets closer together, where people can fight over them more, although some sort of difficult to defend stagin point near a valuable planet could let a strong force set up a staging point for later attacks...

[Cheddarius]

How's the turn coming along?
