Planet Baen: Web Game for free eBooks

If not sooner, then leveling up. If game allows, then maybe sooner.

They should really include a note in the sign-up that you should use your existing Baen account email address. I started a second account for my main Baen account now (MegaMan). Don't know how to disable the first one.

I think I'm doing a better job on the second one in the first place.

best is directly after levelling, not before.
Found out it may f up project-Done-dependedncies resetting them I use them up for level up towncores after levelling.

Don't know if someone is so stupid as I. Because I didn't know much about the city cores. So, for people out there in the same boat.
From cores you get the most, when not other assets are around. Or you can have the population assets there, like someone said before in the thread.
And look where you place your assets, moving them later, will take away from your baen bucks.
And the higher level don't come cheap. You need many bucks to level, and alliance.

Since no one knows what a deletion done by admins would do to people already having it allied and joined (and paid for) you might consider holding back anofficial question about this @Baen until world reboot.

you can Use every flavour of neighbours for (temporary) draining cores production. but there is no reason for doing it with other ressources than people. This reason is as we all painfully found out the lack of energy surplus saved up because

(energy need)=(money gain)=(people x level)

a baby boom can put your lights off fairly quickly for a long time...
I never imagined to be faster done with building 20 alliances than with 10 levels but it apparently will be so.

I just noticed my grid has grown... 1 line and 1 row more (yes including 2 more quick charge slots)

I made the same mistake so I just changed my Baen account email to the same as in game and retrieved my books. 2 so far and just 2 cycles away from a third.

I tried to log-on elsewhere, and maybe made typed the wrong thing too many times. Then since the PW I thought it was didn't work, I logged out of my regular account to reset the password. Alas, the reset button causes an exception, I am unable to get the activation email resent (it says I'm active) and the help doesn't work. So for now I guess I'm out. Really close to more free books too

OK, whatever was going on, it's fixed.

System was down yesterday afternoon for an update.

I think I'm logged on via 3 or 4 devices, all the time (tablets, pc's, etc). I used to log out, but now don't bother. I should be at level 10 soon, then will add bucks for one or two more alliances (which will take me to 4 free books).

I'm enjoying this - already earned two books! It really makes me appreciate Baen even more. It's nice reading the descriptions of the assets and seeing books they are based on. I've already added some books to my wishlist for future purchases!

I've added some people from this thread to my alliances - if anyone wants to add me, I'm Kalethea in the game.

It seems that the coupon codes may end up being tied to your Baen account, so that your game and bookstore emails will need to match.

No doubt a reaction to the sockpuppets (but stymies those who have all their books that would rather just give the coupon codes away).

[Ginwen]

I think I'm kind of paying a bit now for my early rush to get books at any cost (basically by always getting more Baen bucks), as my energy and bliss are severely lacking. Working on fixing that now, but it takes a long time when you are so far back.

you arre kind of right with the latter, but OTOH doesnt baen offer the possibility to gift purchases? the question is for the generous ones is then only if it's possible to gift another user a book and use the coupon for payment.

Hmmm. Might be a possibility. I know one disabled person (who gets free books there, anyway), was wanting to give codes away. I'll suggest he/she try gifting a book, instead.
