ok here are the folks who have expressed any kind of interest either here or via PMs

only a few people actually included faction preferences. the ones that are assigned are based on whoever posted something resembling a request earliest.

Improbable Lobster - Drones
OldAlias
Luigi Thirty - University
Helianthus Annuus
A Pinball Wizard
Cazlab - pirates or data angels (presumably)
Crusader
cheese-cube
Glorgnole

please make a post here before WEDNESDAY (10/25) containing both:
1) confirmation that you would like to play (or not play, as the case may be)
2) what faction you want to be

thanks
i would like to play
i would like to be the spartans please

if oldalias sent me the save that Improbable Lobster sent them, that means i can waste their turn and then play my own turn and pass the save file on to cazlab, right

I’m the believers. if I messed up and didn’t save properly feel free to waste my turn
and how is that going to work on the next round if i have to set your password

maybe you should just send me the correct save instead

but i wish it was my turn
is it your turn or not

whose turn is it

i know i sent the save to cazlab and they said they'd do their turn on wednesday of last week

is it still cazlab's turn or is it sagebrush's turn

maybe cc'ing our savefiles to glorgnole on each move would be a good idea

hey, you guys should take screenshots and stuff so you can share with everybody how the game goes
santiago's rigid military discipline would consider this extremely bad opsec but everyone else is encouraged to post their screenshots and map locations

so maybe in a few months when we encounter other players, you want screenshots of our starting area? that's what you meant?

mine is also sent because i have insomnia and it's like 4 am

got a couple of crashes again. no idea what's causing them now since i didn't launch through gog galaxy. gonna have to try the next turn on my desktop, see if that helps
at what point is it crashing, and did you modify your ini with the stuff from the op
