Default Leaky Intel sequence

I've been trying to figure out how the order of leaky intel projects work out, and have not figured it out yet. I've played several games where several opponents and I have been hitting each-other with intel projects, but I've not yet figured out what order the intel projects are resolved. In some cases it appears that they are resolved sequentially by player, so that the first player in the queue has a significant intel advantage over the others. In other games it has appeared that all the first projects of each player are resolved before the second, and in yet others it appeared that all projects of a player that was not first in the queue were resolved before the second player, etc. Does anybody have a handle on how this part of the game executes?

I just remember that there is at least one thread that touches on at least part of this, but it sounds like you may be on the bleeding edge, and that more tests would be necessary to fully understand what's going on. Or, maybe someone knows and it's in the WIKI or FAQ, or someone will post once they find the thread.

I�m pretty sure that Intel is processed sequentially. The first players projects are funded and any one completed are executed. Then the next player and so on.


Note: An Intel project from an earlier play by get through a later player�s counter-Intel project, because it hasn�t received its funding yet.

Example:
Two Players with a 50k Intel attack against the other Player and also putting 50k into counter-Intel project that is currently at zero points.

Result: Player One�s attacks work against Player Two, but Player Two�s attacks are blocked by Player One�s CI project which will be drain of its points by the attacks. Player�s Two�s CI project will have 50k points since the attacks came before it was funded.
