I have to agree with DK - threat of loss is never a long-term motivator, especially in gaming.  Once sufficient activity has occured to prevent the immediate threat, motivation for continued activity has also been removed by proxy and you return to a state of stagnation.  Eventually, you either end up in an equilibrium of punctuated stagnation or experience dissolution by authoritative fiat in order to finally put everything out of its misery.

Well, I'm not sure it was so much the players as it was the GM's ready to call it. We were actually doing pretty good at moving stuff along in-game. It was mainly the FS faction that was having issues and several people stepped up to offer assistance plus there are more new players.

Currently the status of the game is "On Hiatus" as they work thru some system issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean the game is officially back yet So take that for what it's worth

[Iron Mongoose]

Quite.  I think in the FS can get a bit of help, and there do seem to be people who can step up, then there's no reason the game can't go on. 

That said, a chance to learn some lessons and reballance things and get the FS team a chance to rethink its plans and some of the mistakes I've made might not be all together all that bad.

I have told them I will take the Fed Sun's.

As this is the third turn of the restart, will there be a free R&D roll for each faction/clan as per the rules?

[Fatebringer]

I was pretty sure last turn was the free roll if we were keeping with the every three turns. If you paid, you should get a roll this turn for your money

[Daemonknight]

I had never kept track of the free rolls, but I know DR's plan was to continue counting from the original turn count. I'm not going to do that, so if you got a free roll before turn 3, thats your Turn 3 free roll. If you didn't get a free roll in turns 1-3, you'll get it in T4, and we'll be using the current turn counter from now on(so 3, 6, 9, 12, ect).

[Fatebringer]

Roger that, ND and CBS have had their rolls and are paying this turn.

[Cannonshop]

Just not as active as I was last turn.

[Marlin]

What are the Star Adders going to do this turn? And after?

[Cannonshop]

What are the Star Adders going to do this turn? And after?

I think they're still fighting Lyrans.

[Cannonshop]

oH, and Marlin?

There's a raid you need to respond to-they failed their transit roll, so if you have fighters in the Phelan system, you might be able to intercept them before they land.

Also: if you were hiding anything in the cupboard for Mainstreet, now would be a GREAT time to trot it out.

[Marlin]

You are pretty clear from what I can see.

Also, I asked for a reason. No doubt the places they are attacked in they will fight.


Why the split in IS and Clan worlds? All Adder Worlds should be Clan.

[Daemonknight]

yeah that was just me not paying attention is all, putting the adder attacks in the IS section

[Parmenion]

What are the Star Adders going to do this turn? And after?

I think they're still fighting Lyrans.

I think he meant... where are the Star Adder counterattacks in the form of Trials of Possessions initiated by CSA forces to get their worlds back.  All we have seen so far is LA(CJF) ToPs.
