First PBEM. death to xenos and other stuff

[Kirov]

My email is hlaskover AT gmail DOT com, please put it above in this manner to avoid bots. My time zone is GMT +1, for the purposes of establishing the play order.

As for the two options (OK'ing releasing wildlife and unity pods), I still can't figure out where you guys stand. I'm fine with the former and either way with the latter.

It seems tensions appear even before we launched the game! I'm gonna enjoy it.

[Peter Gray]

I think we all got a bit excited 

To avoid further tensions and unnecessary conflict, Free Drones change their vote on Mind-worms to "Nay" and those are ruled out!

Scattering
Yea (FD), Nay (CC), Yea (P)
I would consider establishing faction to have a stronger voice so MallaxOZ's voice will decide if it's in or out. Free Drones will accept the ruling but we don't understand why anyone would be against something that actually makes each turn more interesting and unpredictable...

I'm also updating my timezone in previous post where I've summarised everything.

[Peter Gray]

Oh, what about the choppters, ban them except this extra one from unity's wreckage?

P.S. protecting e-mail from bots is kinda useless on Gmail because they have good anti-spamming system. I never conceal my e-mail and I never get any spam. It's a thing that was used 10 years ago, now it doesn't seem to be necessary but I'll respect your wishes.

[MallaxOZ]

I'm OK with Unity Scattering, as I see it as a funny lottery.
Again, in order to maximise the fun, even if it may create some unfairness...

I didn't got the answer about choppters so let's just ban weapons above level 4 on those. Otherwise we'll never start.

MallaxOZ, what about your timezone?

[MallaxOZ]

GMT+1

[MallaxOZ]

I like the way this game is going. Fast replies, stories already begun... 

[Kurvivor]

What about the turn order?

[Kirov]

Post you time zone, guys, and we'll leave the rest to sisko.

[Kurvivor]

UTC +3 (Moscow)

[Vishniac]

Is there still place for a fifth one?
Kirov can testify of my commitment to games.

Is the casting the one on Reply 39: Drones, Pirates, cyborgs, Morgan?
Then I'll take the Gaians (but would like average or abundant native lifeforms).

Ok for removing EG and CBA, for nerving choppers. I didn't see the problem with releasing demon mind-worms, it's not the kind of thing that can happen until late in the game.
And No to Unity scattering (if someone asks me)
GMT+1 (I think... Central European Time)

[Kurvivor]

Well, it seems there are 5 human players in total, and 2 places are for xenos menace, as per stipulation.

[Peter Gray]

If the Unity Scattering's off then I would look for a different game or maybe setup my own. Sorry guys but if I have doubts then it's better to decide before we start.

[Kurvivor]

I have no strong feelings in one way or another about Unity scattering.
  inc. abstains.

So, let's total the votes and finish with this topic, one way or another.

[Vishniac]

There's no imperative from my part either to the Unity Scattering, just a preference.
If you want your goodies, you'll get them then.
