Well said Ian, a great summary. If I was allowed to give you another +1 Rep, I would!Well, this is weird, then.
1) Eol Prou LW-L c8-322 is the only Phase 5 system still unhabited.
2) Bloodhounds were placed in the Phase 5 system Eol Prou RS-T d3-46 (now renamed to Juniper) months back
3) Nomads aren't Bloodhounds
4) As "Astronomical Explorers" are on Ed's recent list of factions they're still waiting for, presumably they can't be Bloodhounds either.
5) There is one fewer Phase 6 faction on Ed's list (5) than would otherwise be expected for the number of remaining Phase 6 systems (6), so presumably they're Bloodhounds? But put in a Phase 5 system instead of a Phase 6 one?
6) Nomads also weren't on Ed's list of "factions they're waiting for information from" on the previous page...
This is all very confusing - Ed or Brett, can you clarify what's going on, please?
Just 10ly from Colonia (the system) is Eol Prou PX-T d3-374, which has one landable planet and was listed as a prize system for CEI phase 1, but still hasn't been allocated to anyone.
If the Nomads of Nevermore are indeed still waiting (despite not being on Ed's list upthread) then maybe they could have that one?
What it means is that many of the groups who won places in Colonia chose different names for their factions at the point they were placed on the map, not the ones they'd used during the CG itself: for instance, the recently-placed Marquisate of Valac had undertaken the CG as "Illuminates of Thanateros". Because Bloodhounds were not listed as winners in the CG phase 5 winners list, but have been placed in one of the phase 5 prize systems, they must have been known as something else before. The only two possibilities were Astronomical Explorers or Nomads (see Ian's post #69) and one of them must have changed their name. Unless Ed's list is missing a third winner, but there isn't a system left for another faction in that phase.Not sure what, "(whichever one isn't "Bloodhounds")", means but Nomads of Nevermore isn't anything other than Nomads of Nevermore and waiting...still.
If Bloodhounds are Phase 6 winners accidentally placed in your phase 5 system, we still need to know what their name was on the phase 6 winners list. The name "Bloodhounds" isn't listed there.
