Editing Nationbuilder in Space (section)

== Taking Your Turn ==
All players submit their turns with their four Actions simultaneously
to the referee.  On 4chan, this means posting with your tripcode to the
SpaceBuilder thread with 'dice+4d100' in the email field.

An '''Action''' is something the empire as a whole resolves to do (even if it doesn't require the entire empire's particpation), and its success or failure effects the empire.  Every player gets four actions during their turn to make changes to their empire, and every player's turn is resolved simultaneously.  Actions are described in greater detail below.
:''Example:  "Distributing food through the empire" would not require an Action, even though it requires the entire empire to maintain trade routes -- success means business as usual.  An Action is would be something like Terraforming a new agri-world -- success would increase food surplus throughout the empire.''

The referee (or the KusabaX software with 'dice+4d100') rolls d% for each
player's Action.  Over 50 is a success; see the chart to the right for a
guideline for what sort of bonuses can be earned from great success.

Actions that have pre-defined game mechanics are: Exploration, Colonization,
Trade, Espionage, Research and Military Conflict.  Don't limit yourself
to just these actions -- much of the fun in the game is adding your
own flavour to it.  Use Actions for trading resources, diplomacy, or
domestic improvements or appeasing great and terrible space-gods, and
give the referee and other players material to work with for having fun.
