Excellent. Without any objections, the game will commence tomorrow! The game is locked against further joining unless 2 more people join by tomorrow. I don't wanna unbalance sides.

On a side note it looks like all players that selected "either" will be playing as guilds, as we already have 4 mines.

Turn 1

Granite of 304. The Pillars of Ascension, on the eastern megacontinent in the Great Dominion. Recently the great Dwarven civilization of Lisidobok, has sent a great expeditionary party to the bases of these glorious and unexploited mountains to lay claim to the vast swaths of coal found previously by a smaller exploration force. The small hillocks of Akamkokeb was founded in the foothills of the mountain range.



The beauty of the mountains is thrilling, but this is no resort town. Soon taverns, general stores, wagonyards, warehouses, and brothels spring up in this frontier town, and most of the citizens here know better then to stay out on the streets at night. Soon the mining companies build offices, and the workers build camps around the outskirts of the town. This won't be easy, but the next great chapter of Dwarven history will spring up from the earth here.

Commence!

Remember you cannot upgrade your mine / set SR / buy workers once you bid on coal / food, or issue / take an offer.


Also, due to an oversight, the maximum SR is now 5. There were some logical errors with the last setup. The accident rules and disaster severeness has been updated.

Q: Who actually pays for the workers? it says both the guild and the mines pay in the op... Or im just being illiterate.

[Rolepgeek]

The mines pay the guilds for the workers, who pay the wages and to hire the workers.

Anyway.

Hiring out interns. 18g per worker.
We are willing, at the moment, to reduce the price per worker by 1 gold per worker for every level of Safety Rating the Mine invests in, and will preferentially hire out to Mines with higher safety ratings. Should we find out you did not actually use that level of Safety Rating, you will no longer qualify for this offer.

Gold: Not certain what to put here, precisely, given that it gives away Worker qual pretty readily.
Workers: 8

Peatpeak's mine is naturally the safest mine in the mountains.

Currently hiring workers at 10 gold pieces each. Safety Rating of 5.

As a note.

We do have to hire new workers if you want to expand your operations, and we have to bid on food.

Hiring a new worker costs us 10g. I would...recommend...to my fellow guilds that you not hire out workers for 10g a head. Even with SR 5, that's a sizable risk.

[Playergamer]

Fair point. 12 gold per head, five workers. SR 5.

Hiring five or more qual 1 workers for 12g a head. Promised SR of 5.

Hehe. I don't care which is which but let's pick one or the other.

To answer a few questions I got via PM, so people with similar questions have them answered: You can upgrade your workers, it costs the difference in qual, so upgrading qual 1 to 2 would be 10 per worker. However, you may not downgrade workers.

Also one guild has already tried to bid on food, so guilds, remember you have food for free the first turn. This lets you bid after getting income. Mines have to make coal bids the first turn, but this is appropriate since they bid after paying guilds.

Q: Who actually pays for the workers? it says both the guild and the mines pay in the op... Or im just being illiterate.

Believe others have answered your question but for a super-duper official answer, guilds hire workers, who then rent them out to mines.

Also there seems to be questions regarding what to put for "gold". Gold is only officially updated at the start of each turn, so just put what it was at the beginning of the turn. Which is either 200 or 100 depending on your specialty. When you upgrade mine size you still follow the same rule, is is just assumed you actually have enough money to do so.
