Re: Gridland Survival 2: Parental Controls Suck Edition

That's good enough.

Also, the parental controls settings are through Circle, a $99 cube-shaped (???) parental controls device.
It also blocks most proxy sites, which sucks.

Google isn't blocked.

(The PC preset is set to teen for me and my twin brother)

I'd post day 1 tomorrow, but that's postponed until at least 5 people join.

Re: Gridland Survival 2: Four people in waitlist
« Reply #46 on: May 29, 2017, 04:04:39 pm »

Unless someone responds to my post in the Dryad Rage ooc thread, It seems sort of unlikely that another player will show up before the game starts properly. One thing you can try is changing the game thread name to 4/5 players instead of 4 players in waitlist. The term waitlist implies a need to wait.

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

Character Ability 2:Deformed

Can you elaborate on this ability? For now, I'll leave it blank.

Also, if it doesn't do anything functional, then don't have it as an ability.

As the GM, you get to make something up. I recommend something like "Less appetizing to predators." for Deformed.

Edit: They edited their post.

DAY ONE HAS STARTED!!!
Food Status:
(Upkeep/Stored/Rationed/Planted)
5/25/0/0

You and the rest of your pack have been wandering about in search of food. You find a giant grey tree with bright green leaves, and your pack manages to get 30 fruits down. Feeling satisfied with the foraging, you bite down on the sweet blueish-green fruits. Somehow, after eating the fruits, your pack gains sentience.

As the founders of this new tribe, what will you do first?

Obviously the Cave in {G,5} is a good place to explore. I must Swim my way there.

Free research action will be dwelling research.

Bernard awakens. He knows that he is more powerful than the average creature, and has no fear of exploring the known territory. He has memories of a shortage of food and immediately starts to search for resources.

Bernard moves from F6 to E6 and attempts to forage at E6
Free Research ability: Research begins on Basic Foraging Technique


Also, zomara0292: Please designate a research topic. Alpha characters have an inherent ability called "Free Research" which lets you research as a free action.

Bernard says

"I would recommend doing something other than attempting to climb the cliff at F5. You may notice that doing so would also require you to get across the water, and failing could result in serious health problems as early as turn 2. It would be better to try to climb the cliff from E5, where you would not only be able to avoid having to swim, but the climb looks shorter there too."
