Imperium Eleven - Rise of the Triad - Now Open!

...report in progress! (I'll be away from the 'net for a week and a half, getting back just in time for reporting day by a lucky coincidence, and already looking forward to it ... though I may end up working on the report right up to the last minute!)

One more question:

* All scoring takes place at the end of the 2375 and 2450 turns

My impression is that "the end of the...turns" means right before we hit "Next Turn", is that right? I ask because in both years I had a tech come in after clicking "Next Turn". Techs come in before the year is changed (the year change is almost the last thing that happens before your next turn according to the breakdown in the guide). These were not techs at the leading edge of research for me, so they're only worth 1 point each, but I thought I'd ask. *Wait for it: Gratuitous use of new smileys* That way, when I tally up my score, I can be and not

No, those techs would not count, as they came in after the 2375/2450 turn ended. (After you clicked "Next Turn.") The easiest way to think of the tech score is like this: play until the end of the turn normally, then save your game and open up the Technology panel. Whatever numbers are recorded there are your score.

Okay, that's what I thought, thank you.

Hello, I just finished my report (my first one ever) and I have a few problems that might change my game to a shadow.

I accidentally left Events on for one play session. The Event that did happen helped an enemy rather than me.

And I also did one tech trade, though I made sure it would only raise my tech level by one. It was quite a bit down the tech tree when I did get it.

Are these ok?

[Sullla]

Leaving Events on is generally not a big deal, although you should try to follow the rules as stipulated. Since the event was a bad one anyway, we can probably overlook it. Now if you had pulled the Mining event on your homeworld on turn 10 of the game...

Making a tech trade is unfortunately a problem, however; for this specific game, that was expressly forbidden in the rules. I hate to act like a bully for what was probably an ooops moment, but that's going to have to place your game in the shadow category. It will absolutely still be listed in the results, just as an unofficial game. Sorry about that, and I hope that you'll still post the results of your game.

This is the bad thing about being the one in charge: having to give out bad news to community members.

[KnTenshi]

Understood. I'll just post it as a shadow game then.

No worries. Once I re-read the rules and realized it stated that it banned tech trading entirely, I figured that this might happen. Ah well, it was still fun. That's all that matters.
