Ok guys, I am shooting for a start tomorrow. So I wil need anyone who wishes to play to sound off here. By noon CST tomorrow, I will need an email addy from you all as to where I can send your sheets.

I am going to try for 1 turn a day, until I get used to the sheets and then will up that to 2 turns a day. But do not hold me to that! :st

There have been quite a few small and medium changes since the last draft of the rules. So by later today I will post the new draft for you folks. :AH

And guys, please remember this, this is a playtest so I NEED your input! :bs


Cheers, Thor

Mav, I figure in the beginning there will not be much going on. Since the players will have to begin their programs and the initial R&D efforts. So it should proceed slow enough for you to finish the rules. I have ULed the next draft of the rules, so you may wish to get them. :AH



Cheers, Thor

The Sheet for the game is done, and all I need to do is run it by Haegan tonight. :AH

Oh, hello Þórgrímr, look I think I'll have to pass this game; my PC got screwed. I'm about to get a Notebook from the local government as a prize, but, they didn't distributed them yet, and I don't know when it's going to get on my hands.

It was about to be delivered to the students at about 09/27/11, but they rescheduled it, and they didn't gave me the date yet. It is going to be delivered this year, in the end of October or November but I'm not sure.

As soon as I get my Notebook, I'll start contributing to the playtesting team.

Sorry to hear about your PC, but thanks for the heads up. We will be here if and when you wish to join the playtest. :AH

Umm, the start date was mentioned in the first post, which by the absence of your contact email, I can tell you have not read. :w :bs

The start is today. By noon CST, I will send out the turn one sheet. :AH

Try to get the new orders to me by noon, CST. That way we can guarantee 1 turn per day, if not more later on. :AH

Thanks bud! Also, after a conversation between myself, Mav, and Haegan we have decided that some sort of cost for launches and maint. should be implemented. So I have been working on the rules, adding that in. I am nearly done and should be able to send the new draft out.

The adjunct is that the game is on hold until you testers can read the new draft. I figure we should be able to restart by Friday. :AH



Cheers, Thor

Guyts, I have to apologize. We lost our wireless service and had to wait for the assholes to hook up the physical cable. They just finished a half hour ago! :t

Now I remember why we went to comcast in the first place. :ve

Let me get my bearings again and I will get the game running again.



Cheers, Thor
