D'rek, twelve, EM - you not signing up for the mafia game? Looks an intriguing one, but struggling for required numbers.

The rules say descendants and planta aren't recommended for 7-9 player games. Not sure whether that's because they are over or underpowered. Could see it going either way.

I'm co-modding, since Bubba asked me to review the setup.

I'm not too concerned. If CF picks Draco and it turns out they're overpowered, we can all gang up on him

I think that's more likely a problem for 8 or 9 players where you have a lot more players than access to the center. We're only 1 extra so it shouldn't be too different from a 6p game.

If you are still needing numbers later in the week I'll sign up but I really would rather not. I am having trouble getting myself into mafia these days.

Well the rho indi look like they are designed for a fast strike to eliminate someone early on, and lyra don't have particularly good early strength with not having star bases.

But don't worry. Me and you are going to be the best of friends!

Khell Don't trust him. If he sees you in a weakened position he will move in for the kill. Wall yourself off in with him!!!

I am going to bed in a little while, what else would you like me to do?

Send in your first action provisional to Khell or D'rek though it could affect your action, and have him submit your action when your time comes around. Or just make your move when you are back on tomorrow. We are waiting on CF at the moment but then he will go first then me then you so having a provisional will help get one round of actions in before tomorrow.

Though these are just suggestions.

We're really not there yet... I will still need to put together the map and player boards before we are ready to really be doing actions, I think.

[twelve]

Well I was figuring that everyone's first action will probably be an explore action anyway I didn't think it would hurt to get people thinking of provisionals even with some setup still needing to be done. But you're the mod so your call.

I understand. It is hard to get into the game when you keep getting lynched/killed off first.






Oooh burn!

It's actually becoming a source of pride. It takes a special talent to get knocked off early as many times as I have been.

D'rek,

Are we going to know what the starting Technologies are before we pick what population cube we want to choose discard? I'm thinking knowing before hand might change my mind which one I might take.

If you need specific compass points for the wormholes, make mine North and North-West also.

Explore NE towards CF.

CF would you like to have diplomatic relations with me if we connect?

Whoah whoah, getting a little ahead of ourselves aren't we? CF, blast him into dust for his presumption!

Yeah you are right. I am getting ahead of myself. D'rek isn't even finished setting up yet. I withdraw my action until everything is ready. Please don't blast me to dust

[D'rek]

scanner problems abound
a replacement has been found
homeworlds are being made
and should be done soon I hope

[D'rek]

Homeworlds are up and oriented:

 GAME BOARD - half size.jpg (569.68K)
Number of downloads: 0

Let me know if anything is oriented wrong. I think we will have to wait until tomorrow to do populating, though - it is the bed time! But Khell, I got all your shrines scanned, yay!
