This game has begun, but is still accepting pledges
The Pledge System
The pledge system is a new way of handling game start-ups. If you wish to join OR3, please send in a pledge by email. You may choose one of the three pledges:
Joker Pledge. You could end up in any faction. One of your secondary
characters who is not a covert or tactician gets a semi-random Mark.
Faction Pledge. You can choose a first choice faction and a second choice
faction. You are likely to end up in your first choice, unless it is
oversubscribed by more than 8 players who picked it as a Faction Pledge, in
which case you have fair, random chance of getting bumped down to your
second choice.
Team Pledge. You submit a group of up to 3 other players. You are guaranteed to be in
the same faction as these players. You may also submit faction requests, but
may well not get the faction you request, and may end up in a faction you
did not request."
(This is a points based system. You may either buy a Mark, or you may buy
your choice of faction, or you may buy your choice of teammates.)"
Deadlines for Pledges and Set-ups
The deadline for Pledges has now passed. Further pledges may still be submitted, but we reserve the right to ammend them to maintain game balance - if you want advice on what to submit, please
Contact Us.
The deadline for Set-ups is mid-day BST, August 16th, 2010.

player's location. However, players may request to be set up adjacent to
module cities, unlike my normal set up policy.
GMs will be playing in this game: see the section below for full details.
During the submission of setups phase, I will operate the usual premier
setup rules - so anyone who sends in multiple setups will process after
those who send in one setup.
GMs Playing
I will allow GMs and coders to play in OR3. If you are not comfortable playing in a game with them, please don't join the game.
Here are some of the ground rules that playing GMs will work by:
- Ed is the referee of the game. He will rule more harshly against GM players when there is any doubt.
- GM players may know things about the game engine which other players don't. They will not avoid using this knowledge, but will not share it with their teammates.
- GM players will not look at the OR3 database except where Ed requests that they do so for work purposes.
- GM players will play to win, which may include the use of diplomatic spin and outright diplomatic lying.
- If GM players discover some information about the game which they should not have access to, they will ignore it.
- GM players will not cheat!
