Damnation.

Haven't planned out my day well enough+had some unexpected diversions, so won't really be able to send any worthwhile orders in time. So, um, regroup, entrench, fight to the last, sacrifice babies and pray to Our Lord Tzeentch for deliverance and salvation, amen.

 

[labrat13]

Oh come now, it's not that bad, is it?

 

[das]

It's not, but still a shame.

You're doomed either way, just so you know.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

um, similar to Das, except the orders are to win, win in the name of Slaanesh! And do good and sensible economic things, in the name of Slaanesh!

 

[Niklas]

Sigh, I won't be able to get orders in either. May I humbly suggest that the 23rd may not have been a particularly good date to pick? Any chance you could move the deadline a number of days forward?

 

[labrat13]

There are others who may not be able to get their orders in just yet. I'm not one of them, but a delay may not be a bad idea if it seems that a good portion of the players have the same problem. That being said, to the rest of the players, I suggest you not take this as a cue to procrastinate as Fulton may not have mercy.

 

[Fulton]

I asked you guys before if the 23rd was a good date, and you all agreed...

Ah well... you're all good players, this is a busy time for everyone, and I'd rather have late orders than none. Deadline extended to January 2nd, because I probably won't have time before then anyways.

And don't spend Christmas or New Year's Eve writing up orders. This game isn't worth missing family time.

 

[Niklas]

I asked you guys before if the 23rd was a good date, and you all agreed...

...

This game isn't worth missing family time.

Exactly. Thanks for the extra time.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Thanks Fulton! I could send some rushed orders now, but I'd rather have a longer time to work on them (and more immediately, my OWN update. )

 

[TheBladeRoden]

joo mean the 25th?

err, posted too late, but I'll keep it up cause I like the santa

 

[das]

As a note that I should've probably made earlier: shouldn't the stats have been updated after the Empire vs. Chaos spotlight? Because I still have the Triax worlds, evidently.

 

[labrat13]

You do. You have those Mutants running for the hills and trying to be an insurgent force. Or something like that.

 

[Fulton]

Hmm... you're probably right das.

I'm still not sure how to handle territory won or lost in a flashpoint in regards to budgets....

I'd say, subtract the worth of the two Triax moons from your budget, as you no longer have control over them. But labrat13 cannot use them this budgetary cycle either, even though his people have partially regained control. Both of you still have to pay upkeep for forces lost during the flashpoint.

I'm afraid I'm leaving for a round of three trips over the next five days so I won't be able to update the stats before orders are due.

I apologize for my sloppy modding over the course of this month.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

It's alright Fulton! It's a great NES.

 

[Fulton]

So... about those orders everyone?

I've got some that were submitted before the first deadline. In the interest of fairness, I've got to stick to some deadline, so get them in soon. Tomorrow (Jan.2) is the last day.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Orders will be in soon! In a few hours, today.

 

[TerrisH]

Orders in a while ago. might write a small story later.

 

[Fulton]

Yup, got your orders TerrisH. I also have orders from labrat and das, plus budgets from the flashpoints for one or two others.

Stories are always appreciated.

While I'm here and on the subject... Why is there so little activity? Is it just because people are busy? Is it because of the division into and IC and OOC thread? Is it because we have a small number if players? Is there anything I can do to stimulate more activity?

 

[Niklas]

Orders will come in a short while.

I don't think there's all that little activity, if you measure activity as posts/stories per update...

 

[Niklas]

Eldar orders sent.
