Mars 2050 - The Red Dawn - OOC/Signups

[Harkback Union]

Oh, that reminds me Hark- do we have to assign IP to projects turn by turn, or is it cool to just have a liquid pool of IP be spend from?

Turn-by-turn investments are what the rulebook asks for. Stocking up IP is both unrealistic and eliminates the need to plan ahead. Imagine having 15 IP saved up and sent all at once on a ton of weaponry that perfectly counters your opponent's defenses.

Although, I probably won't hurl asteroids at your colony if you break that rule for occasionally and if there isn't too much IP involved (which I already have noticed), if it makes managing your colony easier.

What I would recommend is that instead of adding 1 to the construction progress on each report, simply write down the scheduled completion date of the project. Say, you are building a Biodome with 1 IP per turn then you add 5 years to the current date and that will be the Biodome's completion date. If construction gets interrupted, then convert the time that passed into IP progress.

Is my relationship with the Republic improved if I give the Ministry of Information a media colony?

What colony?
Why would the Ministry of Information want a colony on Mars?

That's not exactly how you are supposed to fill out the application form but I don't really care.

Check out the IC's first two posts. There you can find the colonial charter which is what you want to fill out if you want to start a colony on mars. If you have other plans in the RP contact me.

When starting a colony, pick from the various types of ISA and corporate support and also check the year 2051 events that let you get some more stuff to start with, they should be on page 2.

If you have any questions, do let me know.

[New Minahasa]

Darn it. So we only get 1 of our starting colonist, or are we allowed to hire them as long as their status are still 'Available'?

Well, its one starting colonist, but you can get an extra starting colonist from year 2051's popular support event.

Why can't we just hire our starting colonists with a price after getting one for free at the start of the game?

If construction gets interrupted, then convert the time that passed into IP progress.

Throwing IPs at once makes managing A LOT easier, though. I'm already having a really bad time trying to remember the mechanics. I had to go back and forth the main IC and OOC thread.

That's cool, I thought as much, just wanted to check before I started stacking up emergency IPs

I'm just waiting on the new colonist list then to put together my year six.

I'll look to respond to your invite in an edit soon Az. To be clear, you're basically just inventing Utopia and the Exarchate to send ambassadors to Utica?

[The Knights of Azorea]

Yeah, nothing of mechanical importance.

IT fits my person better, but I agree I need to change, give me a sec

I'm halfway joking, but also part of the fun of RPs like this is being clever with mechanics, and that fun can be ruined by others copying the cleverness lock stock and barrel.

I took it how you meant it. I meant on offence

Soon as I complete it I was not happy with it.

Good, now I can take you off of the "to nuke" list

I'm afraid that I'm on it, but I'm mostly a buffer between you and potential enemies.

Oh no, we wouldn't nuke our neighbors.

[Harkback Union]

I am unable to post today,
Tomorrow will be different.

I do not know if I should be scared, but I'm going to assume so.

[Harkback Union]

Okay, Fine.
I'll post the 2056 events.

Well at least not yet

Plz don't nuke me, because then you would nuke the Utopia Network too.

Not yet until you find a way to make a "clean" nuke.

Hmm. Rats. Looks like it's prison labor after all.

I still have your Indians, just need to make a post tomorrow and an entire updated ledger. Sorry I can't get the food though.

Oh? No worries, that was just a thought.
