Good idea Tolbethessar. Right now, just assume normal levels of aid for NV/SV (military advisors). Europyrealm, you should try to do Counter-Espionage or Influence. You know, try to prevent the CIA from spying or try to push NV more towards Maoism. |

My turn's done. The plan for now is to make the country at least anti-communist in it's true essence.

Question. What are we supposed to do with the Viet Cong? Does the GM control it? Also, the VC had it's own army (the People's Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam or PLAF for short). Just wanted to ask as to what will we do about these guys.

Good idea Tolbethessar . Right now, just assume normal levels of aid for NV/SV (military advisors). Europyrealm , you should try to do Counter-Espionage or Influence. You know, try to prevent the CIA from spying or try to push NV more towards Maoism. Oops! Must be overlooking this one. Thought all three won’t be done until 56. Thanks for bringing this up. One quick question. Should I assume a number for a blank dice prior to posting and editing that post for result? |

One quick question. Should I assume a number for a blank dice prior to posting and editing that post for result? I use # as a placeholder myself, then edit the # symbol to the actual number after I see the results, and then put in effects. The reason why I do that is so that mobile users still can see what is happening without having to go to desktop view. Plus the effects has to be typed after the roll results anyway, so might as well put in the number too (in my opinion).
WORD OF CAUTION
If you ever edit any character in the text surrounding this area or right next to it [roll]It will make you lose your dots, and every dice roll in the whole post turn blank white permanently (and you would have to remove all old coding then reinsert the dice rolls all over again). What I do is: Type type type enter enter Type type # type type effect enter Then I put my cursor location at the 2nd enter (or the 2nd line), press the dice button, then I post. When I go back to editing, I can edit the # into a real number, and finish the effect line afterwards. This way, I don't ever touch anything on the roll or next to the roll itself. The code is pretty sensitive to prevent manipulation by players. Some people try to reroll their bad rolls, so this forces either a total blank, or some people are stubborn enough to go for a complete removal then reroll. |

Yes. If you have any issues, do tell today so we can adjust accordingly.

I meant that for everyone, and not just about the timing - the whole game. I'd like to set aside a day after everyone's posted their turns as a sort of review period, so we can nip problems in the bud.

Let us know if there's problems or whatever. I think we all are in process of adjusting. So with that in light, I think everyone here, especially you too, has done a decent job thus far, considering the facts.  |

Anyway, there's really nothing wrong with any of your turns. The only thing I could wish for is bolder actions, especially on NV/SV's part. Don't be afraid to do bolder reforms and military actions than the historical Vietnams. |

Don't be afraid to do bolder reforms and military actions than the historical Vietnams. SV would actually propose to NV that the 17th parallel should be the real border as the real-life border was only partly on the 17th parallel and everything else below that line was the real border. So, maybe we can make our lives easier and call the Parallel as the Border? |

If it isn't clear yet, buffs from Space Race are allocated next turn.

If it isn't clear yet, buffs from Space Race are allocated next turn. I thought the space race buffs would be applied to the phase after the one they're in (as in 1953 2nd applies to 1954 1st), so in this case you would be using the buffs from the first phase right now, right? Or is it more of 1 year later (two phases later), so it's 1953 2nd applying to 1954 2nd, and then 1954 1st applying to 1955 1st? I'm just asking for clarification.
On a side note: I've inserted the start date in the top of the announcement on page 1. For the benefit of outside readers (and for ourseleves when this RP is over and any of us wishes to go over the old threads). |
