Bumping this up from the depths of oblivion, just because.

[Shootandrun]

Question for Caesar: is the possibility of gaining spheres still a thing? I saw no mention against or for it in the rules.

[Caesar]

Yes, spheres can still be gained.

And don't worry- The game is not in oblivion. Like I said- I was occupied by several exams this past week. I am starting work on the turn post today. I expect it to be done by Tuesday latest. I'll keep you all up to date!

Wait- Almost everyone did post, right? I'll have to double-check.

[Fniff]

Just posted.

Azthor, isn't that a little metagamey. I technically haven't done any of that stuff yet; it's what I am going to do in the future. (as in when the turn get's posted)

Edit: Not to mention, I just made my troops resistant to magic... cough cough, magic plague.

[Azthor]

Now, if we cannot act on a move chronologically within the same turn, no move can be countered, in that they'd always necessarily take effect before anyone could hope to react. Of course, if Caesar were to tell me that is the case, then, indeed, I am in the wrong and will change my actions accordingly, as well as refrain from acting in kind in the future. I do not, however, currently believe that to be the case.

As for the Enforcers, not only is it quite possible that I am unaware of their existence, they are hardly the sole target for the plague, the dead and the defenseless being first and foremost. That and, as of yet, we do not know whether or not they are shielded from divine 'magic'. The later, in particular, only the update will tell.

Previous experience suggests yes.

Yeah but what's stopping me from now adding on an additional action to counter yours. And then you adding another action to counter mine...

And if the last person to post their turn gets to counter the actions of others while they can't in turn do the same, it promotes an attitude where no one actually wants to post first because it punishes them.

Anyway, I don't really see why waiting until the update would prevent countering other people's actions but if we are doing things that way, I suppose I'll post my counter - counter action some time tomorrow.

Edit: Personally, I guess I just don't wan this to devolve into whoever gets the last post wins.

Well, the main limiter on things like that is that it gets expensive, fast, if you keep using Acts to counter shit.

Personally, I consider post order to be like chess: if your finger isn't on the chess piece (If you have finished your post), then the chess piece is moved. Though, we should probably wait until Caesar gives the lowdown.

[gman8181]

I don't have to use acts. For example, I'm currently being framed for creating undead. All it would take for me to counter that is either having my agent tell people it's not true (because my followers literally think that's my form) or sending another vision to that guy which probably would cost an act but might not because I've already communicated with him and he's familiar with me.

I can't really counter him creating undead this turn but it's not hard for me to counter the lie, it just forces me to write another post.

Edit: And again, the one way encourages me to wait until late the night before to post.

It's fine whatever we do, I just am a little biased towards my way because I think it's easier and more fair.

This sounds like a terrible way to keep the game running in a timely fashion.

Indeed. Chess matches/games solve this by shouting at the player to get a move on.

[Harbingerjm]

When you don't have a defined action order and acting earlier puts you at a disadvantage, saying "hurry up" isn't really a help.

[ragnarok97071]

or you could not powergame, that's a thing, you know.
