The World of The Gunny

Will do bud. Thanks for the heads up.

Guys, I hope you do not mind, but I have begun to post the game events over at Aurora, with some editing to bring them inline with the INN concept.

So, I am politely requesting news items from the players. And gav, I REALLY would like to see a Soviet response to Tssha's French news item.



Cheers, Thor

London Times:

The Space Minister reports that issues with the EVA Suit project were uncovered during pressure testing last week.

"There was a failure with the layered insulating seals when sufficient air pressure was applied inside the suit to simulate the stress the seals would be under in an airless environment. This failure was deliberately tested for and a correction is already being implemented," said Debra Hackworths, Ministerial Assistant.

She was also proud to report another successful Communications Satellite launch, bringing the total launches in the series to 6.

All November turns have been processed, and all December turns have been sent out.

As an FYI, next turn yopur potential recruits will show up, along with your prestige totals for the year. So go ahead and do whatever recruiting you wish. Also, make sure you allocate your PP's. if they are not allocated by you, they will get randomly alloted.

@Gav, love yer fluff post!



Cheers, Thor

*shakes fist impotently at Gav*

This is why I always like Gav's participation! Nobody does commie like that Aussie!



Cheers, Thor

A question from Tssha in an email:



Max R&D Safety represents the max you can ever get by doing R&D on a project, and will never change. The Current Safety Level is what is variable and represents the most current safety on the HW. Max R&D and Max Safety never change, they just represent maximums that can be reached.



Cheers, Thor

All December turns processed, and January turns sent out.

Now, before any turns of '58 are processed, it is now time for you players to give a playtester's Year End Report.

Also, if anyone needs, or wants, to drop out of the game, Y.E. is the time to do it.



Cheers, Thor

Ok guys, I guess I was not clear enough. You have 12 recruits listed, but you can only have 10. So the PLAYER, not the GM must pick their recruits and list them on their orders sheet.

Everybody who sent me Jan's turn without all of their picks on them, resend them with your choices. No offense guys, but I am beginning to get the feeling some of you are just marking time, not really caring what happens.

I have to say the Jan turns the players have turned in and I have recieved so far just, well, shows the rules are unclear, or have not been read. So far, nobody has listed their recruits on their orders sheets.

No offense, but just telling me to pick your recruits for you is where I draw the line at GM permissiveness.

Either you want to play, or you don't.

I want everybody's participation, but if you are bored, or don't care...



Cheers, Thor

Mispost, but might as well turn this into a question. When is the budget updated? I ask, because I don't seem to have an updated research budget.

When I send out the next turn, which will be Jan, you will have an updated budget.

And no worries on the mispost. As long as you make one in the right fora.



Cheers, Thor

Sorry about the delay, but I took Lil' Bud skiing this weekend. First time ever for him.

I tried to process the turns, and was able to process Tssha's and MrAnderson's. Cannot process the rest for the following reasons:

1.) Gav, your sheet is write protected and I cannot even dl it. Only look at it.

2.) Haegan, you never sent me your Jan turn.

3.) Mav, we REALLY need to chat about your orders.



Cheers, Thor

Now that we are back to doing turns, I want to make sure there is absolutely no misunderstanding in the future. If an order does not appear on the sheet, it does not exist.

So, no more orders orders will be accepted in emails. You can ask if what you are thinking of is ok, that is fine, but if that order does not make it onto the sheet, it will not exist.

I will need every player to respond to this post, to signal that you have read and understand this message.



Cheers, Thor

Roger ... orders received and understood !

Je ne comprend pa-

I mean, I completely understand this message.

Thanks guys!

@Gav, I got your turn done. I still cannot figure out what happened to your other sheet though.

Sorry about the delay because of that.



Cheers, Thor

gotcha, cha cha cha

guys, ken has come up with a new way to do the INN. This is just awesome!

I posted the US Jan event post. Let me know which type you guys like, the gfx version, or the data versions from before.



Cheers, Thor

Mav, I have been on MSN most of the day, but have not heard from you. I will process your sheet as is, but I can tell you right now, it will cause serious problems for you later on in the year.

I will be on MSN til 11PM. If I have not heard from you by then, I will just process your turn as is. I gotta keep the game moving forward.



Cheers, Thor

NP bud. That's why I tried to remain online most of the day yesterday. Since we cannot hook up in chat, the problem is your Lifting Body acquisitions, it will break the bank in Jan alone.

Give that a mulling over, and try to get back to me before 2PM today.

@Tssha, you have not turned in a sheet for Feb as of now. Are you still in, out, or RL problems?



Cheers, Thor

Yep, and this is why I said it was urgent!!



Cheers, Thor

Sorry, I assumed I was ahead of the others for some reason and had to wait for them to catch up. Turn submitted.

I also acknowledge the above written. Not that I've ever submitted orders that way. Still, I never will.
