The World of The Gunny

Made another flavor post, first time one of my rockets actually completely blown up :/

You're doing real good bud! And yeah, them booms suk! But are part of the risk.



Cheers, Thor

Also guys, did all your newspaper factories blow up or something, because I am the only one doing agency reports...

I agree!!

I think the GM should also contribute some fluff too! Ya know, to motivate his players?

Axner, I just had a conversation with Mav, and he tells me that you are sending up a Satellite without having a Sat facility constructed. While this is, technically, ok, without a sat fac built you are just wasting resources.

Satellites only become valuable when you are able to track, and recieve data, from them. The Satellite facility represents setting up a network of satellite tracking facilities around the world. FOr example, the Sat fac in Australia was the first to recieve the telemetry and footage from the moon and Apollo 11 since the US based tracking locations were in the wrong positions at the time.

So, without the sat fac built you cannot track your satellites, and in so doing cannot improve your Satellite skills and safety. It also prevents you from claiming the prestige for the first sat in orbit due to not having the fac, which also prevents you from running ANY sort of satellite mission to the moon or the planets.

So do yourself a favor and build your Satellite Facility.

Whoops I didn't know that one. I never built one because I figured that I didn't need to build one until after I launched one, Can't imagine what could have possibly given me that thought. xD But I will definitely be building one of those. Dang. A wasted a satellite. :P

Lol, no problems my friend! It happens to the best of gamers!

Mav, do me a favor and every time you process a turn and send out the next one, please leave a post here. Last I heard you folks were still in September.



Cheers, Thor

Well the more you know! Never realized that every year your entire budget gets increased by what it was originally That is a complete relief!

Yep, your budget will increase, or fall, by an amount determined by your loss or gain of Prestige Points for the year. So getting prestige points is the key to winning, and increasing your budget.

Congrats on becoming a grandpa 'old man'! Tell Chris and his wife I said congrats!



Cheers, Thor

Congrats this end as well. At least with Grand kids , you can always give them back at the end of the day !

Grats Mav!

Accidentally overlooked the email because it was labeled November so I thought it was old, but it was February. Going to write up another fluff post, and remember, the rabbit doesn't always win the race.

Agreed, look at the lead the Soviet Union took in the real Space Race, and we all know how that one turned out.



Cheers, Thor

It has been nine days since the last turn was posted. Are the turns still being processed?



Thor

I haven't received anything. I've been checking almost everyday. So nothing yet.

Real life is main priority. So its understandable. I had enough time to get better from being sick myself in that time period, so its perfectly fine.

Mav, np bud. We all get sick now and again. Just wondering, and thanks for the heads up.



Cheers, Thor
