No Mercs

[PhoenixOfPanem]

If it's no mercs, does that mean we can't do anything with mercs, or that we only can buy/sell from mercs once? I forgot.

[Shadow]

only buy/sell once, I think

[PhoenixOfPanem]

Okay.

[Sharktooth]

Why are there no mercs this time?  ???

[Shadow]

Turbo is different every month. Sometimes it has a new feature, other times, like now, you have to play with a restriction that isn't normally there. It keeps things interesting :)

[Sharktooth]

Oh. Thanks.

[PhoenixOfPanem]

And sometimes it's themeless.

My Turbo Rounds:
August - No Mercs
September - Forced Clanning
October - Stunt Doubles
November - Themeless
December - No Mercs

What does stunt double do?

[PhoenixOfPanem]

Stunt doubles were bots, that were supposed to make it more active. Every time someone signed up on Turbo, a second warlord (the bot double) would be created. I was Justin Bieber for that round, so my double was "Justin Bieber's stunt double" (see signature quote)
Apparently they were supposed to not attack their namesakes, but it didn't exactly work out that way. They were pretty annoying, actually.

[Sharktooth]

Do you have any idea what the theme for January will be?

[windhound]

We kinda make it up as we go
Could cycle and do themeless, we'll see.

[PhoenixOfPanem]

No, because we had themeless last round.

[Shadow]

Basically depends how much time windy and I have leading up the reset ^_^. If we have lots of time we might code something new. If not, we usually use one of the builtin themes, or a combination thereof.

[Sharktooth]

So you and windy are the ones who chose the themes?

[Shadow]

We code the themes, usually, and we are the ones who actually set them up. But if people request themes we usually try to accommodate if it's feasible.
