(( shouldn't I have 160 minions because I got 10 extra last turn?))

((No, there is a cap of 150. The 10 minions every player gains every turn is used to help replenish the minion pool to full strength. A player can spend money hiring more minions than their cap limit, but the loss of such minions will not be covered by the replenishment.

I should also point out that once one goes into the negatives, cash wise, they will be unable to automatically replenish.))

((but I got 10 from my orders))

((but I got 10 from my orders))

((Ah, I thought you were referring to the automatic replenishment mechanic. Looking at the stats, you are right, I hadn't updated to account for your new minions. Also, it is 20 you gained, not 10.))

 

[brovahkiin]

(( I didn't even know there was an auto replenishment mechanic XD))

((when is the next update?))

((when is the next update?))

(( Seriously? Have some patience. It's not going to be every single day. It's more or less an update a week, with mini updates thrown in there at random. Go join another game as well as this one if you are bored. I myself am participating in three other games. ))

((I'm usually average about 10. ))

((Orders are due Saturday night. The update will not be out before then.))

To everyone sending in orders, I have a little request.

Please use the recommended format.

On the first page, on the first post, I detail what your orders are expected to be like.

Orders
Players get two (2) sets of orders that they can send, covering anything they can think of. The orders can’t be longer than three (3) lines long. Players also have the ability to send in one (1) plot order per turn, with victory of said plot occurring if they roll a 6/6. It costs $25m to create a plot, and $25m to support it, so use it wisely!

If the player has to fight, or plans to, they can send in a single (1) military order, covering what they want their Evil Genius to order. This can range from a full-scale military invasion, to a mere mugging of some poor bugger.

I am currently receiving numerous orders which exceed the 3 line limit, or do not differentiate between their orders (whether they are normal, military or plot-based)

It is also irritating when I receive several PMs when a player sent their orders in early, then changes their mind and sends in fresh orders, only to remember they left something out and send in a third, before sending another PM about how they are also supporting someone's plot.

Please try to make sure you include everything in your order, so I don't receive several messages from you, and to stay true to the line limit. If you wish to go into detail, I suggest creating an IC then providing the link to the post in the PM.

((I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what the difference is between regular and plot orders. Isn't everything we do a plot?))

((A plot order allows for players to work together for bigger projects, potentially earning bigger rewards. E.g. You could use a normal order to rob a bank, or you could round up a couple of other players and use a plot order to try and steal the English crown jewels. Plot Orders are built for multiple players, and can pay off much larger than regular orders. Only trick is they cost $25m to support, and you have to work with other people.))

((Plots are done as schemes between multiple players, normal orders are just for yourself.))

To Captain Obvious:

Having considered your proposal, I would like to propose an alternative. Rather than lend some of my own personnel, would it serve your purposes if I were to conduct some brazen robberies in the UK? That is, rather than create the illusion of striking there, I would actually do so.

The UK is not the ideal target for my next operations, but the compensation you have proposed would convince me to relocate my efforts."

Well, Dr. Horrible, I don't mind you committing some robberies in the UK, though the point of my plan does require the UK to be aware of them being under attack by foreign forces.

So, you know, you'd have to at least fail at one or two of the robberies...

((here comes my henchman!))

Name: The Digger
Age: 30
Biography: 3 meters tall, arms as thick as oak trees and wielding a massive jackhammer is his general description among his enemies. Technically, he's just a Russian body builder who is obsessed with giant pits and canals.

A reminder to Jeeshadow, failure to send in orders for this turn shall result you in being kicked from the game.))

In the big bad hunter train, a rather unusual conversation was happening...

Sweinenstein: "Ah Digger! Have you seen my latest plans for Sweinenstadt already?"
The Digger (grabs a bottle of Wodka): "No, does it involves digging?"
Sweinenstein: "Yeas! It's underground, with mighty traps and glorious barracks! It even includes a tropical paradise and a hunting ground! MWAHAHAHA!"
Sweinenstein puts forward a horrible drew map

The Digger: "When can I start building?"
Sweinenstein: "Once we got the resources! We will get them soonish, I know it!"

No one actually knows how it happened that the map was sent to all Evil Geniuses, but who cares... A rumour was being spread, that Sweinenstein couldn't drawn.
