Tamerlin · April 20, 2003, 09:17

This is the turn thread of turn chat #20.

Date of chat: Sunday 2003/04/20
Start of chat: 20:30 GMT
Estimated duration: 3-4 hours

Instructions for entering chat room:

Java (note: untested, can't guarantee these instructions are flawless):
a) Go to http://apolyton.net/misc/chat/room.shtml
b) If you don't get any Java errors (the Java chat doesn't seem to work equally well on all PCs), fill in username and click connect.
c) type '/join #lemuria' to join the Lemuria channel.

mIRC:
a) Download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com/get.html and install it (1,15 MB download)
b) Open mIRC options (should open automatically when you start mIRC; if not, File -> Options), and in the Connect screen, click 'Add' to add a server. Fill in description (Apolyton), server (apolyton.net) and port (6667). Then press 'OK'.
c) Fill in full name, email and nickname and press 'Connect to IRC Server' if Apolyton is selected as server (should be if you added it and didn't change it afterwards).
d) A new screen will open and connect you to Apolyton. Once there, type '/join #lemuria' to join the Lemuria channel.

Dear citizens,

Due to a lack of time and a very busy week-end this Turn Chat thread is posted very lately and in a abridged version.

Here are the threads related to the various ministers:

Ministery of Defence

Ministry of Infrastructure

Ministry of Domestic Affairs

The policy of the Ministry of Diplomacy, Science and Trade is not detailed in a single thread and has been the object of many polls which results will greatly influence the 20th Turn Chat, I can only advise our citizens to have a look at the various threads related to the MoDST...

All the Ministers are encouraged to add some comments here and to appoint an available delegate should they be prevented from attending this Turn Chat.

Updated Saved Game

Tamerlin · April 20, 2003, 17:24

Zaphod Beeblebrox · April 20, 2003, 18:01

Map of our beautiful Lemuria

(note: Our brave explorers and Magedburg are out of range...)

Pedrunn · April 20, 2003, 21:31

My connection with the chat was closed and Apolyton went dead duringthe turn chat. Did it happen just to me or to other people too? I was using the Java chatroom.

Tamerlin · April 20, 2003, 21:54

No Pedrunn we were all disconnected (and I use mIRC) and the Apolyton site can only be accessed since a few minutes.

I send you the saved game so that you can give me your orders for the current turn, I will thus be able to end this turn...

Post them here please...

Here is the Savegame at the moment we were casted out of the Chat Room:

Zaphod Beeblebrox · April 21, 2003, 02:54

orders from the modsat:
before retaking wombatoon
haughty german offer peace treaty, ask for wombatoon in exchange, if they refuse (which they will do) threaten to destroy wombatoon.

i just want them to know, we do what we say.

Tamerlin · April 21, 2003, 06:34

New motto of the Lemurian Army:

You threat, We destroy

mapfi · April 21, 2003, 06:46

log? or at least some report for those who weren't there, please

Zaphod Beeblebrox · April 21, 2003, 07:06

i don't know if somebody has a log due to the servercrash

important events:
we took magdeburg, but it will be hard to manage (happ 66) perhaps we should disband that town.
wombatoon is still in german hands, but will be freed next turn.
the hut in the south gave us another warrior.
german stack 7 near wels, we should have 11 units there when they arrive and we rbed citywalls, so we should win that battle.

Tamerlin · April 21, 2003, 07:12

Unfortunately I have no log of the Chat as we were all suddenly disconnected. I will try to post a summary of the main events as soon as I have ended the turn and have taken back Wombatoon...

Magdeburg, that is the lirttle town West or NorthWest of the Austrian border isn't it? (Don't refer to screenies I disabled avatas and images, but actual doesn't help to much if I see the load times right now.)

You use mIRC, and you don't use the log-feature of it. My computer crashed more then one time during turn chats and I had a log file with all the improtant information. But you have to enable this feature.

At last Settler is back, it was rather strange to be without our Old Apolyton for a few days... Sorry for the late answer Martin but it was not really my fault.

Yes, you are right, this city will be a nightmare to manage and I will post a poll as soon as possible to check if the citizen would like to disband it or not.

I thought it was an automatic feature of mIRC, I will enable the option before the next Turn Chat, I had planned to organize one Thirsday night but it is now certainly too late for tomorrow...

Tamerlin · April 24, 2003, 18:51

Pedrunn,

Could you post your orders for the turn that has been interrupted by Settler's demise?

I would like to end the current turn (I have already posted a savegame eight posts ago) and take back Wombatoon and then post a report of the events in order to organize a new Turn Chat monday.

All the other ministers that have orders are welcomed to post them.

Pedrunn · April 25, 2003, 06:14

Tam, Lets do thi way. Tomorrow i give you the orders for the next turns. For the end of this turn i let you delegate. I feel like my uni exams are slowing the DG but tomorrow i give you the orders once you post the saved game.

Sorry, for the delay and for this.

No problem Pedrunn, I will post the Savegame tonight.

Pedrunn · April 25, 2003, 11:14

Once again thanks and sorry. I will be waiting for the new saved game

Tamerlin · April 25, 2003, 19:13

Hi Pedrunn,

Here is the 1160 BC Savegame...

I am waiting for your orders...

Martin Gühmann · April 26, 2003, 12:09

The turn chat already ended. So the save game should be found in the save game thread, shouldn't it?

-Martin

Tamerlin · April 26, 2003, 21:23

Right, I am just waiting for Pedrunn's order to attack Wombatoon in order to liberate our city from the German oppression. The Turn Chat was abruptly ended by Settler's failure...
