Turn's here. Moved the foil out a little bit more. Didn't rush foils. Thought I'd wait one more turn then rush both. Not sure if I really needed three foils though. Hmmm ...

I've chosen IN, since nobody's researching it yet, and it is one that's needed for IA beeline. Thought some may be interested.

Ok, opened save.

HongHu, why do I have to push enter for your password, then end your turn before starting my own turn? Are we supposed to do that or are we NOT supposed to end the turn...?

Got CentEmp, choose BioGen. I figure ít'll be good to get the chance at the HGP (having learned about using AAs for rushing SPs... oh wait... no AAs... ).

Labs back to 70% for the 2-turn tech. Scout aims west, can't get there in one turn.

Retool both bases to formers. Lose 3 mins each in the process.

That's it.

Yes. You should not press "end turn", rather leave it so the player following you can see what you're doing. That's Enigma's rule as I understand it.

My turn:

Built 2nd base! Last person to do so. A3: Zaphod Beeblebrox. The radioactivity has sprouted a second head on my shoulders. (In the theme of "open book", my bases will have my favorite fictional characters. The A's being from my favorite book, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.)

My settings are fine. Cent Ecol next turn now.

I set A3 to cp, but will change to formers next turn.

I moved my scout back to A4. Forget the fungus.

Some suggestions for current turns:

MrWhereItsAt:

spoiler(highlight to read): You could have rushed the formers so that they'd complete next turn. ECs are used to switch SEs and to rush stuff, and by going Biogenetics I presume you're not out for a SE change.

HongHu:

spoiler(highlight to read): Being a tech broker, you want to sell tech to people that need it. MWIA already has InfNets. It would have been better to go Industrial Base since it would be longer until you meet Quango than when you meet MWIA. A better first tech might be Applied Physics. Also a tech MWIA has, but useful in taking Mt. Planet and the Monsoon Jungle. Gun foil decision: You save ECs, but since you'll get the EC boon by selling your techs then it would have got you more ECs to rush the foil.

Oy! True about your spoiler. I'm just not thinking properly when rushing through PBEMs like this one.

Yes MWIA I had the same surprise at the first Open Book thread. Clearly you didn't read the answer to my question.

And Enigma, oops. I need to get a list of who has which tech currently, obviously.

If I'm not around and somebody wants to play my turn, please go ahead. The next turn is very simple. Move the foil further away, and rush both foils. Make sure I have stockpile in the queue.

Who has what tech:
Cult: SocPsy, CentEco
Quango: IB
Hive: DocLoy
MWIA: InfNets, AppPhys
Gaians: CentEco
Believers: SocPsy
HongHu: Doc:Mob, Doc:Flex

MWIA is researching BioGenetics
Quango is researching CentEco
HongHu should probably be researching ProgPsych/IB/AppPhys (depending).

This one is hard to track. Perhaps we do need to email each other the turn in addition to post it here, just so that one doesn't need to check all the time to ensure he/she hasn't stalled the turn.

OK!

I rush the two formers. Not sure how much to rush (4 mins left for each, +3mpt), so I rush each for 2ECs. That is enough.

Labs down to 60% so as not to waste them - BioGen next turn.

Uh... must figure out what number player I am...

1. Received Cent Ecol. Yea!
2. My choices are limited (no ind.econ), so I go w/ Info Net (for Plan Net). 2 turns for next tech! 7 energy, 14 needed.
3. Change A3 to produce formers. Lose 1 min, but I have 20 turns to grow, so no colpod there. Might have to make 2 formers there, maybe take one and home it at A4 to avoid support min at A3. I will hurry the former next turn.
4. Kept scout in A4 as it will grow first (5 turns). Colony Pod a turn later most likely.
5. Sliders at 30/10/60 are giving me the best lab pts, so they stay.

WIA: If 50 minerals cost 100 ECs, then 1 mineral costs 2 ECs. It's linear.
You're the first in the turn order.

Ooops sorry I said that this one is harder to track. Could you email the turn to me as well Quango? (No need for this turn. ) Address xxxhhu003@mchsi.comxxx. Appreciated!

I will have to do the turn in about 10 hours. If any one wants to play for me, foils go the direction Enigma said, and bases produce transport and colony pod, respectively. I would be able to change it next turn if necessary.

Sorry for the delay. Downloaded the turn first couple hours ago but didn't get to play until just now (and downloaded it again since somebody's using the other pc). Anyway Here's the turn.

Met Yang. Although I do not want Loyalty but didn't want to cause him mad so I got it from him, and given him both mob and flex. And he doesn't even want to pact with me. :anger:

Bases are producing transport and CP. Will finish them a long long time later. The two new foils are heading northwest and west respectively. Oh and I'm researching AP. Not that I will be able to produce any unit with that tech soon.

Open. Crash upon researching BioGen.

I close WinAmp and try again (SUCKS!).

I research BioGen and choose, from PlaNets, IB, Doc:Mob, SocPsy and NLM - IB (getting towards Crawlers, I suppose).

Move South (via the river) from MWIA Prime and start on a forest. From Enigma Ellipse I move SE, intending on the same. I start Scouts in both bases - I don't like how they're both right next to fungus and undefended.

Current SP stranded in the fungus.
Labs to 70% for 8.4 labs per turn (the max. At 100% I just lose credits and gain no Labs)

Done.
