LTD 2,241 Posted February 14, 2019 Heading off for the night. In the event I have nine sets of orders in the morning, I should be able to process in about 9 hours. Post in this thread when your orders are complete. 2 The Jabbawookie and Matt3412 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertie Wooster 1,857 Posted February 14, 2019 What is the Turn 2 public objective? That might affect my orders just a smidge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LTD 2,241 Posted February 14, 2019 Sorry about the objective - I will release and reply to messages in about 2 hours. 1 Bertie Wooster reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTD 2,241 Posted February 14, 2019 In answer to a question in the other thread - The fleets of two players may not REMAIN in the same system This is different to the last game. When fleets of two players meet, there will be a combat - if both sides have given "no shoot" orders, the combat will have no casualties, but the side with the smaller number of fleet points present MUST retreat. Retreating means that in the next JUMP phase that fleet must JUMP to another location. If it cannot JUMP it is destroyed. For Example: In turn 17 John jumps a fleet to X, and so does Stephanie. They both have "no shoot" agreements in place, so there are no casualties from the battle. John's fleet is smaller than Stephanie's, so he must RETREAT. In the jump phase of turn 18, John's fleet MUST leave X, or it is destroyed. So yes, they are both in the same place for a turn, but John's fleet can't interact with the planet (land Ground Forces, etc). He will receive a scout report of the planet's attributes.

LTD 2,241 Posted February 14, 2019 The turn 2 victory objective is: I have completely destroyed an enemy fleet. 1VP. I will update the first post of the IC thread with this information. I will try to make this more obvious going forwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTD 2,241 Posted February 14, 2019 I've gone through PMs and answered questions. I have orders from five players I think. Some folks were waiting on clarifications. I still have one player I'm wrangling with about the end of turn 1... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTD 2,241 Posted February 14, 2019 Turn 1 wrangling complete. Send in your orders in the next 5 hours and I should be able to process, otherwise it will be 24 hours. Thanks! 1 clontroper5 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTD 2,241 Posted February 15, 2019 Ok - waiting on orders from @Bertie Wooster and @FortyInRed. I give ... 16 hours until I call a deadline to turn 2. I will process what I have at that time. You are warned! 1 Matt3412 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertie Wooster 1,857 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Sorry, it looks like Fully Unprepared Novice Knaves are living up to their name. I was also taking my wife out for Valentine's Day. Love was in the air. Anyway, Turn 2 orders are in. Edited February 15, 2019 by Bertie Wooster 2 The Jabbawookie and BiggsIRL reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTD 2,241 Posted February 16, 2019 Enough of your boasting. Pinch your wife on the bum from me. I have orders from all players - hope to process in the next hour or two. 1 1 1 Bertie Wooster, idjmv and Matt3412 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amusing thing is I think if I tried that line on my girlfriend, she'd laugh. Same with my ex-wife. Maybe not my other ex-wife though. 1 Bertie Wooster reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTD 2,241 Posted February 16, 2019 The correct line is "Some Australian on the internet told me to pinch you on the bum." That makes everyone happy - unless you are married to an Australian.

Bertie Wooster 1,857 Posted February 16, 2019 If I have a partial ship on a planet, does that count as part of my fleet size? For example, 20/54 of a Quasar on a planet. 20 points of my fleet size? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
