Meph, can we trade colonists?

Yes.  I did a "train my colonist for me" deal with someone last game.

[Mephansteras]

Players may Trade amongst themselves freely, regardless of Phase. Wealth, Resources, and Colonists may all be traded.

This also includes trades within a phase, so if someone wanted to Trade Food with another player during the Production Phase the resources in that trade can be used immediately. Note that traded colonists go to Temporary Housing, although they can be taken from a building if desired.

[Toaster]

I can't imagine this ever being useful, but can you at-will unstaff any building?

[Mephansteras]

I can't imagine this ever being useful, but can you at-will unstaff any building?

Huh. Never thought about that. Technically, no, at least with how the rules are written, although if someone had a good reason to I'd probably let them. Unless whatever it was seemed like an exploit of some sort, but I'm not sure what situation would cause that.

[Mephansteras]

Since GWG's decision doesn't really effect too much, I'm going to go ahead and wrap up the turn.

GWG I went with the assumption that you activated both Farms and the Colony Center, giving you a net +1W, +1 Food from the Production phase. If you wanted to activate both Farms and NOT the Colony Center to get +2 Food instead just let me know.

Everyone! Send in your Phase Choices if you have not done so

[Kashyyk]

Just letting y'all know, I'll be picking Trade.

If someone were to pick Production, that'd be grand. Not sure what else y'all want.

[notquitethere]

Hmm, Xeleda already said they were getting trade. This is... inefficient.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Not my fault, I still don't have a charging cord.

Survey: +1 Wealth
Colonization: Skilled Colonist
Build: Farm (Staff with Skilled)
Production: Farm (+1 Food)

Just wait...things will pick up.

I take it you are also activating your Colony Center for +1W?

Don't I only have one colonist?

GWG, you now have two farms, you could have activated both of them.

...Do farms not need people running them?

[Mephansteras]

You start with a fully staffed farm. So at the beginning of the game you have two Unskilled Colonists, one staffing the Colony Center and the other your Farm.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh.

...

Yeah, both farms and also the CC.

[Mephansteras]

Phase choices are in:

Player	Phase
Kashyyk	Trade

Net:  +1 Expert, +1 Criminal, +1 Basic Machine, -7W, reorganized workforce.

[notquitethere]

Colonization:  Reserve Expert, claim Unskilled
Trade: Sell 2 food for 2W, Buy 2 basic goods for 10W. Sell Soldier for 3VP.
Organization:  Move new Unskilled to Barracks, Move Skilled to Colonial Centre

I'm taking Build next time, so you guys should probably attempt a more even spread on the next round. Production would be nice.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'll do Production.

Colonization: Reserve an Expert, get stuck with criminal scum.
Trade: Sell 2 Food (+2 Wealth)*, Buy 1 Basic Machine (-7 Wealth)
Organize: Move the Skilled guy to the Colony Center and that unskilled guy to the farm.

*Unless someone else wants to try and buy/trade/whatever the food from me.
