Use calculator and paper it helps

They don't call them 'pen and paper' RPGs for nothing.

Sounds interesting. Survivors rather than overlords. Would you like me to place you on the existing map, or would you like your own hidden start?

A hidden start'd do nicely.

Splendid. I'll TG you for a few more details, then we should be able to get you running.

any eta on a update?

I'm optimistic of our new guy, Honghai, getting out a post before I update - but not more than a day or two. I could do it right now, really, but I'd rather not skip Lazarian and Ted who have both expressed a desire to post.

I'll do my best to have it up after work tonight. I usually write up the update at work, but I just got battlefield promoted last week (resignation out of nowhere) and my workload doubled.

(I mean, I'm not complaining. I'm just busier than I was.)

[Holy Tedalonia]

Posted and caught up. How will research be handled for my behind turns?

G, do we have a set-turn for when this era ends and the Dark Times come?

Light headsup that I'm planning the update for tomorrow laddies.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Glad to see your post Honghai.

[Honghai]

Glad to see your post Honghai.

Thanks.

[G-Tech Corporation]

And the update, she be live. Honghai, feel free to ask about how to write your actions - I interpreted what you did as best you could, but you produced other resources which you didn't spend, so do try to track those for best results!

[Honghai]

...You produced other resources which you didn't spend...

Whatcha mean by that?

I didn't want to do everything (tame the camels, defend against bandits, etc) all at the same time.
