Round 2 begins today, where you can claim unclaimed lands anywhere (just comment the name of the unclaimed land you want). The unclaimed lands will be named based on both NATO phonetic alphabet and the Greek alphabet (to differentiate the Greek from the NATO one in case of duplication, the Greek ones will be called _Ellinika).
I want to thank everyone for being active as they have been! It’s been great running this game and feeling like people are actually wanting to play (it was a rough beginning for sure). In any event, since Selenus and SuD are running low on options to expand without making their expansion options too tiny, I’m deciding today is the last day for Round 1 (the pick one out of 2 choices one). Tomorrow, I’ll divvy up land and give them NATO alphabet names and you can choose any one regardless of where it is at. The only rule is: you only get ONE choice per day (it’ll be more than two options to choose from).
We are inching closer to the stage where you can begin to invade and annex large chunks that remain. Since the amount of remaining land for some of the places is close to zero, I might begin Round 2 sooner than I thought I would. We will see for sure, I’ll make the comment on one of these posts when that will actually happen! Day 11 begins now!
To the 11 or so people who were active within the past 24 hours, I appreciate your contributions dearly! Today is the last day with this map (tomorrow, I’ll introduce a new map that’ll only have 4 separate images, which will be facing West/East).
Here’s Day 10!
Not much to say for beginning Day 9, to be honest. We did have some newcomers join on Day 8 (they aren’t new to the series, I must say, but are new to this specific game). Anyhow, there’s still lots of opportunities to expand. For those that Gamma is their first game, what will happen on Day 15 is that the remaining vacant lands will be divided into pieces and given NATO phonetic names. Unlike what you are doing now, these lands can be claimed by anyone regardless of where they are located.
Anyhow, here’s Day 9
All of the unclaimed or abandoned spawn points are NOW available to be annexed. However, the 2 choice annexation decisions will still remain (I am giving the 3 choices option just for today as a reward for the players who have been active to conclude Week 1), so you’ll only be able to actually take that vacant spot once you have already claimed the land surrounding that area. Inactive areas are PROHIBITED from being annexed/invaded until Day 15.
Thanks for playing so far! Day 8 begins NOW!
I know I didn’t post one of these yesterday, as I didn’t have the time nor the energy for that. Also, since minimal activity was going on, I felt as if it didn’t really matter.
Since there’s been minimal activity, Stage one (with annexing unclaimed land) will extend until Day 14 (that means the gradual annexations like we have been will remain, instead of people being able to claim any unclaimed spawn point). However, what will debut on Day 8 is that the active players will be rewarded with having 3 options of expansion (instead of 2), as well as that active players will be able to surround inactive colonies (won’t be able to invade them until day 14).
For the newcomers and people who have forgotten: From day one to at least day seven, you get two options on where to expand each day within what I designate each day. The numbers 1 and 2 by the letter are the options of where you can expand each day. For organization purposes, it’ll greatly help to get names for the colonies that haven’t been named yet (I’ll mention your names in the comments).
Day 3 concluded with a couple of newcomers, as well as an unfortunate withdrawal (I understand why they did). I also will admit I flipped the locations of Lambda and Xendarenea (sorry, y’all). To compensate for that, I gave them more land than they originally did. We also have had new alliances (especially between thorn and GDC).
I made new maps to incorporate any future players that want to fill in the remainder of the spawn points, as well as to reduce the amount of images you all need to go through (spots 1, 13, 15, and 19 are still vacant, while spot 5 will be held under personal possession until Day 8, where anyone can claim it at that point).
And Day 2 is over! I know I made it longer than I should have, yet it took me a lot of time to adjust the map and map borders (I had to take into account the 4 new claims made and condense some of the maps to include the new claims plus the ones already made). For anyone that wants to still join, there are 6 spots left, plus you can also join u/Sacsacher’s spawn point.
At the end of Day 2, alliances have also been formed (before the war period even begins).
And Day 3 begins!
Day 1 has come to an end!
10 spots have yet to have been claimed, 10 have been claimed already (50%)
A few folks chose ones that someone already claimed, which all but one of them have chosen a different one. I’m still waiting on that one person to decide if they want to share it with that other person or if they want to choose again. In any event, most of these places STILL don’t have names! Please pick a name (I’ll accept most names)!
u/Sacsacher is inviting anyone who hasn’t claimed a spot, and doesn’t want to have their own spot to manage its growth, to share with them! They are in spawn point 11, which will be temporary renamed as Λ.
Back to the name thing, until I get names, your spots will labeled as Greek letters (Alpha to Chi, as they represent 1-20).
For those who haven’t played before, once you pick your spawn point, you’ll get two options as to where to expand your territory to. You get one new option everyday after today.
Day 2 begins now!
Back by popular demand, Island Society has returned for its Gamma edition. Time to sit down, grab a snack, and pick your spots! A new journey begins! For the first time ever, there are 20 options to start your colony.
Let’s the games begin!
