Notes & Comments
=======================
Turn 5 EA due next MON Sep 29 at 18:00 CDT.
*****
HOWEVER, through SUN Sep 28, I will review all EA's that are turned in,
so that if we have any problems, we can resolve them and still give you
a chance to have appropriate and desired orders for t5s1. It is
optional, for your benefit, and not required.

Turn 5 Segment 1 orders due next MON Sep 29 at 18:00 CDT.
I've got another experiment for results format. I'll be sending it later
on this week, with the same info as in this report. It is a report of
what happened per ship, per impulse, then per type of activity, rather than
per impulse, per type of activity, then per ship. This allows easy archival
of multiple segments for each ship, producing a very useful scenario history
per ship. You can then see when the plasma ship last launched, etc., without
looking through a dozen results reports. I gotta say that it looks like we
get a lot less accomplished than with this format of report. That's probably
a good sign... the info is more compact, so that we can see more of it in
each view.
I almost got drafted to moderate the impulse-per-day 22-ship battle brewing
on the official PBEM site, but somebody volunteered. Instead, I've got
the next Twirling Aces scenario almost worked out. It's a 2-sided fleet
battle, with one (not very powerful) admiral per side. Unless there's an
overwhelming request otherwise, we'll stick to 8-impulse segments once per
week. There will be greatly simplified TacIntel, as well as multiple maps
for multiple integrated battles. It'll basically be Alliance vs. Coalition,
with a variety of races, and a couple special perks. If you are interested
in participating, please let me know in the next couple weeks. I'll be
nosing around out there, seeing who else is looking for some action. In the
meantime, you are welcome to talk to your friends (in this game or not) and
agree which side you'd like to be on. Assuming the requests aren't too lop-
sided, you get to pick which side you're on, with "no preference"-ers and
latecomers getting assigned as needed. At the moment, we don't know the total
number of ships, but it'll most likely be large. This brings up the issue of
number of games going on at once... that's for each individual to deal with
and to decide how many to participate in. Be realistic, but have as much fun
as you can stand.
