The Control Your Own Faction RPG: Part 3, The Age of War- Th

No, no, no, no! You can't attack me because until I make my post I don't exist. I'm not on the radar. My bases, systems and ships haven't moved up to the same point. There isn't anything for you to attack until I post. Did you even read the analogy?

Besides, quickness is precisely what this game is *not* about. It's turn based for a reason. You want quickness and stuff? Go play Age of Empires.

Oh, and everyone who wants a say in this should go here. I've set up a poll and between my explanations here and there you should be able to tell what all the fuss is about. If you don't care then don't vote though. Since there are relatively few players every vote really does count. If most people want no changes (god help us all if that's the case) then I'll give up, maybe. But if we have a bunch of players who support the changes then Jacob'll have to at least do something. Power to the people!

@ Wilde- my fault. I didn't check my post times. The Vengence Fleet will be stationed at Planet Hamburg until the battle is decided, then I will move into to Dresden to attack to capture Vogtland. I'm coming after you regardless. After Vogtland, that will be it. I'll leave you be until duty calls.

Forces:
Sigma 19
38 VHF Wings
2 HF Wings
40 LF Wings

Omega 41:
26 VHF Wings

This turn:

Building 2 R. Battleships and 1 R. Heavy Cruiser, at the Houses shipyard. Transporting a train of 10 metals to pickup 25 water from Rheinland.
So +10 metal for Rheinland -10 for Corsairs -25 water for Rheinland +25 for the Corsairs

Placement: 11 VHF wings and 1 HF wing in Sigma 19
Attacking to Capture: Gas Miner and Hawaii in Sigma 19

Movement:

To Rheinland: As evident from our recent commerce transaction, we are not enemies of the Rheinland. We are however very nervous about Liberty Fleets stationed on our border. If that presence causes tribute to stop we will be in serious trouble. We therefore request all the Liberty fleet be ordered out of Rheinland. We'll ship to you 25 metal next turn to Rheinland for only 1 credit each to help you balance out this cost.

Thanks Gunblader.

OOC: I know I'm not going to survive the war. Even if I win my fleets will be decimated. But I'm at least goin' out with a bang

Ok I am going to post results and update this post when new ones come up. That worked well for me last time so I will try it again this time. All battles will be resolved once I get the walkthrough (which will probably be sometime today).

Results

Wilde:
VHF CA Research - 6

Roc:
Bomber Research - 3
VHF FA Research - 7

Gunblader:
Bomber Research - 2

Codename:
Cruiser FD Research - 7, 5, 6

Man, I am my own worst enemy

. I haven't gotten a single successful research.

Okay, for those of you who still don't get my point about battles, turns and stuff (*cough* WILDE!!!! *cough*) I've now posted a handy little diagram on the CYOF boards. Check it.

Thu Dec 30, 2004 9:37 am by Wilde

Bloody hell!!!! I haven't had 1--not 1!--successful research in the entirety of this game!

Damn

@ Codename: I understand it. I just don't agree with it.

You can't possibly understand and disagree. You aren't even thinking the same way as me. THAT's the problem.

Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:20 am by Wilde

I understand the way you're seeing it; I view it differently, so I don't agree with it. Unfortunately the pivotal point is your honesty--which I have no way of knowing whether I should trust or distrust it.

Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:25 am by gunblader

@ the Corsairs- We have no intention of coming after you. We would be interested in trade though. If you have HF or O we would be willing to trade credits or food.

Gunbladder, drop your sig. Once per thread

Actually my honesty is irrelevant. By posting your intentions you GAVE me that information. To use my platforms analogy it's as if one side shouted down to their opponents that they planned on attacking them and then proceeded to outline the battle plan. The other side can do whatever it wants with that information. It comes back to the same point in the end: battles cannot occur unless both sides are present and I'm not until I post my entire start of turn post.

And I haven't seen you make any arguments about why ^^^THAT^^^ idea is wrong. It would be nice if we could debate on the same level.

OOC: Gunblader, you'd have no knowledge I sent that transmission, it was a two way transmission

Thu Dec 30, 2004 12:46 pm by Wilde

That's the way you put it. One can also see it from another direction--your movements were in response to my attacks, and therefore illegal in the context of the game.

But I actually now can see no reason for doubting your honesty, so I accept it.

Thu Dec 30, 2004 12:52 pm by Codename

Well, that's good to know.

It would have been difficult to prove such a thing. But where does that leave us?

Thu Dec 30, 2004 12:54 pm by gunblader

Triyun- If your going to send secret messages, do it via email, not where everyone can see it. Do you execpt my trade offer?

Liberty eighth turn:
credits-395
46(O)/ 146(M)/ 46(W)/ 308(F)/ 14(HF)

Liberty is desperate for Oxygen and H-Fuel. We need a supplier.

I research Bomber Designs.

Liberty is putting its surplus amount of food for sale, 1 food for 2 credits.
