Lord, my head already hurts! Okay, so as has been pointed out, the location analysis is not very useful. It seems to me the best we can do is pay attention to where tile improvements are. Like, the slaver camps are obviously being set up for a reason, so it's probably safe to assume that there will be people in those tiles more often than not.

That is interesting for some actions, but how is it interesting for the thread?

Hey Tappsypoo Path-Shaper - out of curiosity are there any rules for or against reveals? What about meta? I could foresee some serious meta-timing exploitation in this game.

That didn't quite come out as I was hoping it would but I think you get my general impressions.

(If not, I was both flicking the "People who complain about how much their head hurts after four other people already have are more likely to have big roles" shit at her as well as being generally derisive of the complaining.)

A public disturbance in the Square of the Camels, where a horde of eager peasants trampled a Suhhan merchant and his herdsmen, forced the City Guard to proclaim martial law in the square. Apparently, the cause for the riots was a rumour that a gold-shitting flock of sheep was being held in the pen belonging to the deceased merchant. According to the captain of the watch, who appeared somewhat sheepish when he reported to me, it was all caused by the merchant exclaiming a line from the Argonauts about a Golden Fleece.

The Khalif's Justice is in effect on The Square of the Camels

Tile Action: The Khalif's Justice (2 politics)
Until the end of this day/night cycle, everyone on this tile is guarded and healed. Players can still use movement actions to get out or in of this tile.
NB: The Khalif's Justice, when used, works in all ways as a Heal: the first time you'd die, you live. Apart from being lynched. If the Heal is not used up, you gain +1/+0 Life Points.

I really don't like reveals. Let's not forget that openly proclaiming you're trying to undermine the Khalif's regime, and she's kind of all-knowing. And apparently, she's got a penchant for Cold Justice.. Let's leave it at that.
Meta is unfortunately incredibly hard to ban in this game and will be a massive factor in decision-making. I also really dislike seeing meta on thread, though.

Sorry that not all of us can be so on top of their game so as to be able to waste entire days spamming a bunch of useless crap. I am trying to play the game, and trying to wrap my head around it all. I wanted to post to show that I was around, but come on, what's the point of being an asshole? You're just making it less likely that I'll try to participate in on thread shit.

Well since I am Darth Samuel ibn Jackson Vader I figure I can seduce the Khalif so she is chill with the whole revealing thing. Then I can stand up and shout that I am sick of these motherfucking painting avatars in this motherfucking game and force choke them all right?

Okay then go ahead and don't participate on thread. Just makes you look even more like you are focusing entirely on some major and complex role :thumbsup:

Wouldn't Mafia Cheeseburger be from Satriale's? I'd avoid the Richie Aprile specialty burger though.

Regardless of you mocking Karosis she does mentioned something that triggered a thought. Not only are some of these upgrades going to point out where there are currently players at least during the phase that the item was purchased but some of these upgrades will definately be inviting for other players to move into those locations as well. I can see where a lot of people would migrate to the three locations that have the bazaar function especially if things like the Khalif's justice and slave markets and the like keep sprouting up. So that means that whoever purchased the Bey in the center can make a killing with players moving there just so they can maximize on ability targets.

Yeah, cause there's no way that someone could do exactly what you're doing to hide the fact that they have a big complex role. You're trying to direct thought, and I don't like having my thoughts directed.
