(( I thought LSP said exploration + Plain not exploration + Pain ))

yeah

do you not quote or something

currency + arithmetic

can i get a joint tia

[Remuthra]

You can indeed.

[sal880612m]

... LSP is in your department.

I don't want this to be interpreted as any of the rejection types but what are you aiming for with that combination?

[LordSlowpoke]

it is literally counting currency

accounting will be important later

[sal880612m]

Is agreeing passive or does it count as an action? Assuming it is passive, go ahead.

[Remuthra]

... LSP is in your department.

Yes, and I improve of his action. This is not at all my lack of knowledge about who is playing what. Nope.

Currency + People = ?

[sal880612m]

You might consider trying to do something in addition to making combinations. It seems we can discover actions by performing them.

[Remuthra]

It does not benefit the civilization to change currency at this point. As a man(?) of the people, I cannot in good consciousness betray the trust placed in me through such a misuse of power.

[sal880612m]

... I meant more you can do something that isn't on your list of actions and end up having it turn out to be an action. Last turn I looked around the immediate area and apparently unlocked Research.

[Remuthra]

Hm.

Give flint to soldiers to use to buy fish. Collect the money back from the fisherman to pay for the protection of the soldiers.

Edited my action for this turn: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140749.msg5485819#msg5485819

Guys, I won't be here for the weekend. I'm going to Seattle for the Dota 2 International 2014 so I won't be able to update as fast. But I will still try to keep everyone interested.

(( I thought LSP said exploration + Plain not exploration + Pain ))

Oops...
Tell you what: I'll do that for free next turn for being stupid. So you guys get an additional combination. Ya deal?

Yes, its passive. I am so bad at explaining things. I'll fix it in the OP.

oops... That's just a operant conditioning mistake on my part. Must have explained it wrong. But this is your guys' first time so I let it slide.
Its more like, if you discover a term that has to do with a concept (exploration loosely) or a modifiable object (currency) then an action might be unlocked along with it.

oOOOOOH, can I be added to the waitlist? Also, PTW.

EDIT: I would like Department of Culture

Sure.

How do the build and hire work? What does quantity mean. Is that flint per hire/build?

Until this turn we didn't have a clean water source. We now where one is now but personally I am hoping to last at least one more turn.

You pick a number and a type of building (usually from your personal terms) and you say "Build 5 Crematories" and it shall be so.
Quantity is:

Quantity is a property that can exist as a magnitude or multitude. Quantities can be compared in terms of "more", "less" or "equal", or, by assigning a numerical value in terms of a unit of measurement.

In easier terms: a number of something. Five cars, two apples, seven dwarves.
Flint per hire/build? Uh, I don't understand this question. You can't hire flint, nor can you build it. I'll change the descriptions to be more relevant to one's department for clarity next turn.
For the water, you drink mud. Like, all of it, dirt and all. It's not good for you but it won't kill you. Cavemen have really strong immune systems. Trust me, I know a caveman, he goes to my school.

Hm.

There goes my operant conditioning, out the window...

Alright, that's what I thought in the first place.

[Hawk132]

Just as planned. Now this should create warriors. Hopefully.

Shivs + People = ?

Send 5 scouts into the new plains we found.

Okay, that makes sense now. I don't know why I thought differently but at the time I was thinking it was more trade related than production related. So thinking it was more in the nature of setting prices or some such. As I said don't really remember what I was thinking.

I am still new at this and trying to pick things up and figure them out as I go. So in an attempt to clear things up and if it doesn't break any rules give too much information:

My understanding is that at this point there are a few things that affect what happens each turn
Combinations
Actions
Acceptances/Rebuttals/etc..
Responding to your prompts/questions or stating thoughts

and my attempt at an action was treated as belonging to the last category.

All of which adds up to what I am currently trying to do as an action being wrong and instead I should

think/say I wonder what else can be done with clay. Can it be shaped and hardened any other ways? and do Research Clay
