GhostofNobodyInParticular 2,497 Posted September 8, 2017 I created 2 versions of each side's fleets, oriented for the top or bottom of the table. Default setup values have been set, so don't go doing that. I did both sides in case Dorrin's aren't available, for whatever reason. AOA Fleet Bottom - Rebs AOA Fleet Top - Rebs AOA Fleet Bottom - Imps AOA Fleet Top - Imps 1 Dorrin314 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorrin314 115 Posted September 8, 2017 Had done a set up for the top but @GhostofNobodyInParticular's is looking great! This game is going to be nuts, 16 ships 18 squads for the Imps, 16 ships 21 squads for the Rebels. 2 GhostofNobodyInParticular and Green Knight reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will also be unavailable the night of the 29th of this month. We could try doing it Friday nights. . . Are you busy then too @BrobaFett?

BrobaFett 4,209 Posted September 9, 2017 Weekends are always super spotty for me, at least before about 10pm which is a super inconvenient for Dorrin at very least, and would be 5am GMT. I am free weekdays after 2pm gmt any day, including Friday, other than next friday when we are leaving for an out of town wedding. Other wedddings are in town so no overnight needed and my fridays are open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irishmadcat 292 Posted September 9, 2017 Oak so Firdays nights then? @PodRacer and @Dorrin314 What tiem fridays? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorrin314 115 Posted September 10, 2017 I have work at 11 pm GMT every Friday so I need to be done by 10:30 or so at the latest. Depending on start time I might be able to push things around so I could stay till 10:45 or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishmadcat 292 Posted September 10, 2017 So I coudl start at 6:30 gmt on Friday nights and play till 10? does that work for epople? @PodRacer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofNobodyInParticular 2,497 Posted September 10, 2017 That means I would be playing from 8:30 till 12. It may work for me, for this month at least, though 8:30 may be a bit too early. Should this game continue into next month (as it very well may) I'd have to start at 8ish GMT and could finish at 12 GMT. At any rate, 8 to 10 GMT every Friday (other than this Friday for Broba) seems to be a decent time slot for all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vis has issues with any day but the weekend, and Broba has issues only with the weekend. Is there any time this week where we can at least deploy? Maybe we can end up playing like people used to play board games by post. We have a common logfile (after deployment), and each of us activates as we are able - say, Broba activates his ship on Thursday, and fires on mine. He saves the log, and publishes it here. When I can, I then open it, spend my tokens, and take the damage (he mentions what cards he uses when he saves it, I mention how I dealt with the damage when I do), then republish the log file. He then completes his movement, and the next person goes. Then, if we ever find a date when we are all available, we go on to play for however long we can. It's a cumbersome method, but it may work. . . what do you all think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant talk on behalf of my teammates, but we decided AOA was our best option at this point. Therefore scrapping it is out. So we either delegate the command of the entire fleet to 1 member of the respective team, or we try rotating commands to keep 2 accounts (1 from each team) in it at all times, with full command of the combined fleet, which is essentially the previous option with rotations. I would think that 1 commander would be easier, but rotations may be fairer. So perhaps we delegate pairs, like a normal battle, the first meets, plays what it can, saves and publishes the logfile, and then the next pair continues from where it left off?

Dorrin314 115 Posted September 10, 2017 With schedules how they are I think that passing off control of fleets to other teammates is the best call. Part of the fun of the AOA is the planing and playing with teammates so I would like to try to find day(s) where multiple people from the same team can be on. Basically with how our schedules are looking: 1 is ok, 2 is good, 3 is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
