Alright, so the time to submit your written orders and budget spreadsheet for the 2055 Turn has closed*. Now comes the really boring part for all of you, the GMs actually processing these orders. Recently it has been taking us around 8 weeks to do that. I always hope to speed that up, and the various recent improvements to our sheets and procedures really should help, but you all have to be prepared for some kind of extended wait before we can get back to you with your Turn results.
Do not edit the Facility_List spreadsheet with any of your new builds for this Turn until after I make the announcement that I am done with processing your written orders for this Turn. We all have to be prepared for the times when the smooth implementation of the actions in your orders was interfered with by the actions of someone else. That being said, this Turn has already seen multiple instances of things going wrong because players did not keep their Unit and Facility List spreadsheets properly updated. I have tried hard to make this a game where actions have consequences, which means everything is in some way linked to everything else, and I am always adding in even more linkages. So remember, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep these sheets properly updated, ...and things can go wrong very quickly when those sheets are not.
*We are still waiting on Mike Henry, but he had secured permission ahead of time to be a bit late.
