Planets List minutia

Wow. I don't have any recollection of that what-so-ever.

You see that's because, under the Math Faction rules; a "planet" represented an allotment of meters which could be applied to ship production and each so called "asset" required a 5,000 word RP. I don't recall any special dispensation being made which said that a moon, requiring fewer words, somehow equaled half as many meters.

But whatever.

I think it's all pretty fucking stupid anyway.

I have Farquak, Farkquak Junior (a moon) and Gernon (the other moon), all in one system. Each moon required 5000 words back in the day (would have taken them just after the fleet restart). As for present rules, I don't know nor care, but I figured I'd put it out there.

PS. Also Endor is technically a moon, yet has always been 5000 words to take.

I don't recall the 2500 words per moon rule; I've taken moon's as PTs though (like Uffel), but they were always 5000 words....

Yeah, as a staff member, I recall no such rule. A nice try though.

Here is my question: How many additional words are you going to need to write to ensure that all of your takeovers are legitimate, Wes?

One Billion.

That's just my suggestion.

Sounds good to me. One Billion Words by monday or TNO will lose... *rolls dice*... 13 planets.

That's all right - we won't count the moon as a seperate asset. Perhaps I was wrong about the limit.

Considering we don't place meter allotments/limits on the size of a factions fleet, or the ammount of meters built per day, based on planetary assets any more it's kind of a moot point Wes.

A still pertinant point however is the stuff where you do stuff and stuff with rules that are made up about stuff that have no stuff.

Mwah!

(anyone miss that old chestnut?)

Yeah, but it still seems a little nutty to me.

I just noticed, too, that Concord Dawn needs to be added to the Empire, under Oversector Outer.
