1. All our times need to match what shows in The spitemaster post. 08-04-2008 9:00PM which should read for as untiltime challenged individuals (me included).
2. We should all hide our post with untiltime tags.
3. We all get 500 Greckels to start.
4. We all begin with a small fighting brigade of 10 roaches and 2 Glorthorred researchers. In a city which will start with a basic income of 500 greckles every other day.
5. We get income on the 1st day(that is why we get 500 to start), then the 3rd day then the 5th day etc..that is everyother day.
6. Levels only matter for battles so we can buy any unit/thinker/enhancement we can afford or at least that we can afford at the time.
7. Our posts should tell the following:
Any town(s) you are activating-
Any town(s) you are attacking-
Any units you are buying and where assigned-
Any Thinkers you are buying and where assigned-
Any Technologies you are buying and where assigned-
Glorthorred researcher 1 assignment if any-
Glorthorred researcher 2 assignment if any-
Any Negotiator assignments-
Health Point assignments if any-
8. Per The spitemaster we can do alot the first day because of the order:
Activate town
Income
Purchases (This includes negotiation and research)
Upkeep
Attacks
"This way anything that you buy, can be used for an attack that turn. This also goes for the thinkers as they appear before upkeep and attacks. You can activate a city at any time before any of the events. As a result of this you can activate a city at the beginning of a turn, receive income from it, and then place a thinker with some monsters in it. (These monsters can even attack someone else!)"
9.
"The research money is paid at the end of the researcher days. It is a lump sum."
My remaining questions:

Well I did this to get it straight in my mind I hope it helps everyone else as well. Also if you are just getting on board make sure to
list your 30 towns/cities.
My only two confusions are activating a city. I thought a city was only activated by placing a thinker there. I guess that has changed.
Edit: Found the answer to this one about towns:
You gain new cities when you activate it. So really, whenever you want. However this is a very bad idea because, as you can see an unoccupied town is extremely vulnerable.(And any damage taken is times by twenty when people occupy it) Towns are only occupied when there is someone in it that could defend it.
Second previously you said
"Techant negotiators cannot start working the first day. (As you haven't paid upkeep when they are meant to work)" and now you are saying
"..and then place a thinker with some monsters in it." Does this mean a change? Or is the Thinker placed even though they are not negotiated for yet. Sorry I just seem to be missing how that part is done.
Actually I think I got mixed up because I was applying what you said as to the order to the first day of the game. If I apply it to the day after I have ordered a negotiator then I see how it works. So your order assumes you have negotiators ready to be activated or you have finished negotations on a Thinker.
A new question (so sorry): You said,
"Creation of a battle squadron: you will negotiate a thinker and assign it to a town. You then can add new monsters to this group." . This I understand but can you activate a town and assign some units you buy if there is no Thinker yet. I think you said No but I can't seem to locate the comments about this. I understand that you can not attack without a squadron but can you defend?
Also you said,"
..it will become important that you maintain one or more squadrons inside the towns."
This seems to mean you can have more than one squadron in a town. If so how many?

Maybe the contest should be who can set their untiltime the closest to the right time.
