Ok, everyone look for mistakes in my past few posts. After I get that stuff done, we can get ready for Turn 3. I'm also gonna restart the spreadsheet, I think. No more updating during rounds, ugh.

El Guapo, I just made your corrections.

Isgrimnur, it's your turn to decide whether to place a Privateer or not.

Then it'll be Grund, then myself.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 7:18 am

Thanks for the update, looks good on my side.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:25 am

As I still have a limited idea of what the hell I'm doing, I will forego the option.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:09 pm

Grund, do you want to serve up a dish of Privateering?

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:20 pm

Just FYI Grund I heard that Qantaga and Vorret were making fun of you for only having one merchant fleet.

His dreams of global conquest are Quixotic.

I'll place one Privateer on Spain.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 7:36 am

Hmm....

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:15 pm

Just landed in NYC. Updates won't happen till late tonight.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:17 pm

So, I'm bored at the Newark airport, so I got started on the new, slimmer spreadsheet,

Turn 3 start

Anyone can edit it, please let me know if anything's wrong.

I'll do more later tonight, and wrap up Turn 2.

If you'd like, you can PM me your cards for Turn 3.

Qantaga is now first player, and I am 6th.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Tue May 01, 2012 5:18 pm

Turn 2 Interest Phase:

Qantaga, having 1 Unrest at home, must pay 1 Treasury on his Loan for each Loan, and each Unrest.

Qantaga pays 1 Treasury, and now has 4 Treasury, and 9 Debt.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Tue May 01, 2012 5:20 pm

Turn 3 Start

Qantaga - England (Blue)
Vorret - Spain(Red)
El Guapo - Dutch(Orange)
Isgrimnur - Italy(Black)
Grundbegriff - France(White)
SpaceLord - Portugal (Yellow)

Everyone needs to PM me their 4 cards.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue May 01, 2012 6:56 pm

Can we get an updated map / status linked in one of the front page posts?

Or, better yet, in the moderator's sig!

Turn 3 Start - The World As It Stands

Some notes:

I don't believe anyone's Diplomacy position has changed since Turn 1, correct?

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Wed May 02, 2012 12:16 am

I believe so. But:

(1) I believe we concluded that my diplomacy (orange's) should be at 4, not 3.

(2) The three tokens on New Spain should be mine (orange's), not yours.

(3) I believe one person is at logistics 3 - I think Isgrimnur (black)?

(4) Aren't there no goods in the market currently? I thought it got cleaned out at the end of last turn.

Again, thanks for running this - it looks complicated to keep track of.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Wed May 02, 2012 12:47 am

1,2 and 3: You're correct, I've updated my image, and the image above will be updated once I get some more feedback. I gave myself 1 Seafaring by mistake, and took Issy's 2nd Logistics update away, whoops
4: The disks in the area of Russia signify Loans, not the Market.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Wed May 02, 2012 7:05 am

I'm pretty sure I'm suppopsed to have a Privateer somewhere in my lands since Grund backstabbed Spain.

Qantaga · Post by **Qantaga** » Wed May 02, 2012 7:17 am

I'm on a work trip this week, so it will be this evening before I can get my cards turned in.

Privateers go on your country board, so I'm not sure that they would show up on the map.

And Qantaga, no worries - I haven't gotten my action cards in yet, though I am aiming to shortly.

Qantaga · Post by **Qantaga** » Thu May 03, 2012 7:22 am

I didn't get to my hotel until after midnight last night. Now, I'm rushing off to a meeting this morning. I should have time early this afternoon to send my cards. Sorry.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Thu May 03, 2012 8:17 am

Just realized you forgot my Colony in West Africa again

Doing my cards should pm them in the next hour

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:50 pm

I'll be doing an update tonight or tomorrow.

Grund, I don't have your new cards list yet.

Maybe he hates us

Yeah, been out of town two weekends in a row, new trainees at the office, yadda yadda. My apologies

I'm making sure I have everything ready for Turn 3 start, and I'll get going. Of course, I just noticed I don't have Isgrminur's cards, whoops.

Further apologies. My head has exploded, as well as my computer, and my toilet.

Vorret:

Choose Scientist or Missionary, please.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Thu May 24, 2012 9:14 am

Sorry about the wait,

Scientist... Logistics (that's the one that lets you put more token when you colonize, right?)

Yup. One additional token per each advance in logistics.

Also - how is it that I've only just noticed that the topic title here is colonial "boargame"?

It only turned into that at the start of Turn 3. Granted, that was 23 days ago, but still, it hasn't always been that way.
