Yeah, so join us.

I await my PM lubber... tick... tock

Don't worry... after I finish checking the forums, PMs will go out, you will have a day to get to know your partner, and the game will start tomorrow.

 

[landlubber]

Everyone should have their role PMs now, however most of you don't have pictures or a quote. I will send those tomorrow. I apologize, but I am extremely tired.

 

[choxorn]

Hey, I just noticed this is never mentioned in the rules... What, exactly, does ecology do?

 

[landlubber]

This question is getting asked a lot. Let's just say... you'll find out.

 

[GhostWriter16]

When shall this begin?

 

[landlubber]

Well, I would like to get everyone's starting Social Engineering, so I guess once I get that.

 

[Sprig]

what is the role of ecology?

^^^^^

 

[Sprig]

I can see where it is heading but i not keen on the idea of make a blind choice

 

[Diamondeye]

I just asked the same. Apparently, it's a scale from -3 to 3. I guess hovering close to any of the extremes will have some effect that can be both positive and negative...

 

[Takhisis]

Why am I partnered with landlubber?

Indeed. Just try to stay rather high. I understand that not knowing what it does is a bit frustrating, but just understand that keeping it low could mean consequences.

 

[landlubber]

Why am I partnered with landlubber?

I sent your Role PM to both you and your partner. The recipient's list and the Role PM both list your correct partner. You are not partnered with me.

 

[Earthling]

In the sense of fairness and since I'm just one player talking to the others then rather than everyone trying to wheedle things out of the GM...

given that some folks might not have *any knowledge at all about the Alpha Centauri game*:

I would speculate that "ecology" affects how much "Planet" likes us, as in Planet in the game Alpha Centauri like might be expected. Planet has an immense presence of native lifeforms and could be thought of as an NPC in the game perhaps, and surely there are benefits or consequences from "loving" or "exploiting" it. So again, in game terms, there might be NPC allies or enemies or "events" that would happen, or none of those and something more exciting in game terms.



edit: One other question just on the board though: can players give currency to others as part of deals? Or do sanctions work that way? (I was under the impression sanctions are paid "to the GM" and that money just disappears) However if money could be traded/given away to others, would like to know the answer to that so some folks don't just never know of it or are left in the dark

Sarcasm much? Don't use Neural suction on me, please!!

Thanks earthling, some good points raised.

 

[landlubber]

Money from sanctions goes to a sort of bank. The bank only has importance to one faction; to the rest, it's rather meaningless. You may give money to other players as part of "deals," but, be aware: this is a mafia game, be careful who you trust.
