I made a complete mess of rules for this game. Mostly due to the long comment period and my newness to the game. I'm posting them here as I dig them out of the other two (2?!) threads. I'm doing my best to gather the finalized versions. If I miss something please don't hesitate to bring it up.

Rules: From the game 4 signup sheet here.

Galactic Council, on 05 October 2013 - 10:11 PM, said:

Game 4 moderator: Gnaw
7-9 player. Hopefully the full 9.


Game Prep:

• 7+ player game.
  
• Planta and Draco are in.
• Alliances are in with a Round 2 minimum.
• Ancient Homeworlds are in only as filler if we don't get full 9 players.
• Board will be standard RoTA layout:
  • GCDS
  • inner sectors (I) - 6. 8 available
  • middle sectors (II)
    • 7 players: 12
    • 8 players: 12
    • 9 players: 12
    • 14 available
  • outer sectors (III)
    • 7 players: 22
    • 8 players: 24
    • 9 players: 24
    • 31 available

Technology:

• Initial Tech Tiles
  • 7 players: 22
  • 8 players: 24
  • 9 players: 26
• new techs in the cleanup phase
  • 7 players: 10
  • 8 players: 11
  • 9 players: 11
• Predictable technology but hard cap limit of 5 drawn. Gives a bit of a teaser and might help move the game along a little faster.
  • 26 tiles are drawn pregame. 5 tiles for round 2 will be drawn and revealed at this time.
  • 11 tiles in cleanup phase for the next round along with 5 tiles for the following round.
  • Rare techs will not count toward the 26 or 11, but will count for the 5 predictive tiles.
  Total tech available: 125 126 (I think)

• Developments are in with no restrictions. All 9 will be available.
• Non-RoTA Expansion content:
  • Supernova - in
  • Pulsar - in unless somebody cares
  • Ship Pack One - in
    • 325 hex,
    • 339/340 Terran/Magellan HW (We have pictures of them but no hexes yet. I'll use the 269 Mons Auris hex for this one if pics do not be come available.)
    • Ancient Interceptor discovery
    • Security council development
    • Advanced GCDS
    • Turn order variant will not be used

• I will be using Orokos for all things dice related. That allows a combat phase fuckup by me to be moved back to the last roll made prior to said fuckup.
• Reputation tiles are face up (so no unfair advantage to moderator)
• An image file will be placed here showing all of the hexes in the game, so the mod has no unfair advantage in knowing exactly which ones are left and what they look like. Text listing will be included.
• Player order determined by randomizing the sign-up sheet. There are 3 choices to be made. "Play", "Race", "Rotation". All 3 must be picked before race selection begins. "Rotation" applies to both choice of race and direction of first round.
  • First person in the list.
  • Last person in the list. Middle person in the list.
  • Middle person in the list. Last person in the list.

Spoiler

Quote

Example using the player list from game 3.
There were 9 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

• Morgoth
• Twelve
• Khell
• Gnaw
• Solidsnape
• D'rek
• cerveza_fiesta
• Tattersail (ganoes paran)
• Tapper

Timestamp: 2013-08-11 22:54:47 UTC

Morgoth would choose first, SS second, Tapper third. The reason I'm adding Rotation to the list is there is a good chance that Morgoth might decide that the most important thing for him is to make sure he doesn't follow Twelve. So he picks Rotation. SS then has the option of picking Play or Race; he chooses Race. So Tapper will get to play first.

The player order and choices will not be made public until after Morgoth and SS choose. Morgoth will be PMed the list. He makes his choice. SS will get the list and Morgy's choice. Once Tapper replies the game thread will be opened with Player list in order by First player, Race selection and Rotation,. Should Rotation be left for last, then that choice must be made before game thread is started.

In this example play would be

• Tapper
• Morgoth
• Twelve
• Khell
• Gnaw
• Solidsnape
• D'rek
• cerveza_fiesta
• Tattersail (ganoes paran)

with Tapper choosing race first and SS choosing after Gnaw.

With the layout of the 9 player grid all the the positions are not equal. 3 positions have only one connection to the 2xx ring. In game 3 that was Khell, Morgy, and Tapper. Starting hex will be determined by random.org. Only the remaining players will be eligible for this draw. In a 9 player game that gives 4 people a say in determining the initial course of the game.

Spoiler

Edit:

• As far as I know IH is planning on running a 6 player game simultaneously with this one.
• The overly complicated Race, Play, and Rotation selection is because I think those 3 components have a huge impact on the course of the game.
• I'm not including simultaneous play variant because I don't think it's at all adaptable to forum style game.

This post has been edited by Galactic Council: 09 October 2013 - 07:04 PM

Changes/clarifications from the above:

"Total tech available: 125 126 (I think)" 125 I miscounted twice.

"Pulsar - in unless somebody cares" In.

Contradiction one (layout and GC tile): The first was as opposed to the ten player layout we had been discussing. The second was my intention to use the SP1 two sided Advanced GCDS.

"Board will be standard RoTA layout:

• GCDS"

and

"Non-RoTA Expansion content:

Ship Pack One - in

• Advanced GCDS"

"I will be using Orokos for all things dice related." I will be choosing tech and reputation using random.org; screenshots and lists will be in the Action Thread. All else will be orokos.com All my rolls can be accessed here.

"An image file will be placed here showing all of the hexes in the game". Hex selection is discussed in the sign up sheet (posts 138 between 171) and semi-final ruling placed in post #5 of this thread.

"I will be using Orokos ...allows a combat phase fuckup by me to be moved back to the last roll made prior to said fuckup." Combat resolution explained in post #6 of this thread.

Eclipse Expansion Rules page 12:





Rule for hex exploration:

Sectors I and II:

Once 6 and 12 hexes have been drawn the remaining 2 hexes of each sector are eliminated from the game and discards will become the new draw pile. (With Draco in the game there is guaranteed to be at least discard in Sector II.)


Example:

Example said:

Explores:

• CF - 203 Chi Draconis - <orokos link>
• Tapper - 213 Iota Bootis - <orokos link>
• Khell - 206 Epsilon Indi - <orokos link>
• D'rek - 209 Delta Eridani - <orokos link>
• Tatts - 202 Fomalhaut - <orokos link>
• Gnaw - 201 Alpha Centauri - <orokos link>
• Placed Sector II Hex
• Placed Sector II Hex
• Placed Sector II Hex
• Placed Sector II Hex
• Placed Sector II Hex
• Discard (Gnaw - 212 Lambda Fornacis - <orokos link>)

Available:

• 204 Vega
• 205 Mu Herculis
• 207 Zeta Reculi
• 208 Iota Persei
• 210 Psi Capricorni
• 211 Beta Aquilae
• 281 Delta Corvi
• 201 Alpha Centauri (Gnaw - <orokos link>)
• 209 Delta Eridani (D'rek - <orokos link>)
• 202 Fomalhaut (Tatts - <orokos link>
• 203 Chi Draconis (Khell - <orokos link>)
• 213 Iota Bootis (Tapper- <orokos link>)
• 206 Epsilon Indi (CF - <orokos link>)

Discards:

• 212 Lambda Fornacis

Sector III:

The oh so clever D'rek has figured out a way to draw specific hexes without anyone knowing what those hexes are until each has been explored during the game. Two factor security. (A modification of Double Blind medical trials?) Nobody knows what hexes are "put back in the box", so no one will know which hexes are not in the game either. Her solution solves all issues with table-top to forum translation.

There will be 24 specific sector III tiles available in the game. Discards are set aside and are shuffled back into a new draw pile once the original pile is depleted.


The selection process:

• D'rek
  • generates a code for each of the 31 Sector III tiles in the game.
  • creates a text file for each of the tiles that contains the hex number and name. The text file is named according to the code she devises.
  • She sends me all 31 text files.
• Modgod
  • will use random.org to select 24 specific codes from her list.
  • when a hex is explored, the modgod spins the wheel for that sector and selects the top code.
  • I open the corresponding text file to find out what the hex number is.
  • reveal the code and hex number to the thread.
• Security
  • D'rek knows the code and which hex it corresponds to but does not know which codes were selected for use.
  • I know which codes are in use, but not the hexes they correspond to. I think I'll probably put each txt file into its own folder as added insurance against opening the wrong text file by mistake.

Shamelessy stolen from D'rek:

Quote

Dice history:

I am using Orokos for rolling dice for combat. Orokos maintains a dice roll history so other players can easily verify that dice are not being re-rolled to benefit one player. The dice history can be viewed on the Orokos ME_Eclipse_G2 Campaign page.


The description decodes as follows:

R2H203B1_e1 - EM Crs (1xO), Ax Shp (4xY), EM Drd (1xO, 1xY)

R2 = Combat Phase of Round 2
H203 = Occuring in Hex #203
B1 = Battle #1 in Hex 203 (there could be multiple sequential battles)
m / e1 = Missile Round / Engagement Round 1

EM Crs (1xO) = EmperorMagus' Cruiser, which will roll 1 orange die
Ax Shp (4xY) = Ancient Ships, which will roll 4 yellow dice


If you click on the number in the Results column, you can see the collective dice rolls, ie: 7d6: 19 [7d6=1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 4, 4]

The dice are assigned in the order stated in the description (which will be the order the ships engage in).

So in the examples above:
R2H203B1_e1 - EM Crs (1xO), Ax Shp (4xY), EM Drd (1xO, 1xY)
7d6: 19 [7d6=1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 4, 4]


EM's Cruiser needs to roll 1 orange die, so the first die result (1) will be what the cruiser rolls. Then the Ancient Ships need to roll 4 dice, so the next four results will be what they roll. Lastly, EM's dreadnaught needs to roll one orange and one yellow, so the next die result will be the dreadnaught's orange die result and the last will be its yellow die result.

If a ship is rolled for but destroyed before it would attack, the dice results that would have been used for it are simply passed over.


In battles where players wish to retreat in the middle of engagement rounds, some variation of this system may be used.

The campaign name is "gIV Malazan Empire Eclipse" and link here. However, I sometimes forget to include that so this is the link to all my rolls.

The description I used in game 3 as I evolved was unnecessarily complicated. _{^{(In addition I discovered the Orokos expression help page)}}

The roll result:

• When a roll is formatted "3d6" the result is not just the results of the individual dice, but a total for the sum of the dice. 3d6: 14 [3d6=4, 5, 5]
• If the format is entered "3#1d6" the result is not totaled. 3#1d6: 3 # 3 [1d6=3] 4 [1d6=4] 3 [1d6=3]
• With the automagical bolding, the second format is much easier to understand.

Note: not finished, just finished for now.


If anyone can help me understand Orokos syntax better it would be much appreciated.

For example, this person managed to roll this in a single toss:

1d8: 3 [1d8=3]
3#1d10: 3 # 8 [1d10=8] 10 [1d10=10] 7 [1d10=7]
1d12: 5 [1d12=5]
1d4: 2 [1d4=2]

Change that to all d6 and I could roll 3 different initiative class ships in one toss. Which I'm fairly certain would cut down the error rate. Triple checking all the dice in one roll is better than double checking them in 3 rolls.

Game on!

Hex orientation. As mod I don't care which wormholes are faced which direction. Give me the orientation of the text of the hex.

Spoiler

IH is oriented at 1 as is Morgoth's

Tatts' current orientation is at 6 as is mine.

I don't think anyone else has declared yet?

IH:

• orientation at 1
• discard "production" == materials?

Morgoth:

• orientation at 1
• discard $

Place holder was about 3 minutes after yours (Addict I know).

Now about wormhole orientation..... The above doesn't make any sense. There are no hexes that have just one wormhole. I think most player have been using the compass star for their orientation. I'm fairly sure D'rek and CF have stated their orientation in some of their role play responses. I'm waiting for you to state yours before I post mine as I'm the last person to take an action. Are you going to leave your homeworld oriented as you have listed?

I'm still not sure if I'm going to go money or materials for my discard either.

Sorry about my respose. I tried to respond before you locked the other thread and I didn't feel like retyping everything so I did a copy paste and that is what spit out.
