I have to say that I strongly disagree with 0cra_tr0per. The moon beast events have a clear purpose, and that is to hype up whichever gods are having the least amount of fun. This time it was bears. Bears like to eat. Eating is basically a bear's entire thing. Everyone had to deal with bears, not just you. So when the bears stumbled upon the civilization that had a massive stockpile of food they obviously would go to get it. And when the civilization is totally undefended...

And obviously, the next moon that comes after you choose to quit the game will be the year of the Cat! So maybe hang in there for a bit longer.

Yeah, but I've already lost interest in the game because the previous GM bullshittery was nothing that big of an issue compared to this incident.

I fail to see how its such a big deal. You still have plenty of food so you can replace the worker you lost with a more cat-like one. You have plenty of wood so the loss of the primitive houses doesn't matter since you can replace them with wood houses this turn which you would want to do anyway.

Eh whatever. I'll remember your eagerness to quit when I decide which players applications to accept for my next Gridland Survival game. (Assuming that GS3 makes it to turn 33 of course)

I'm a Manakete, so we'll be fine. I kinda want to take a swim in lava though.


Also, is there an open god slot in your game?

My FP is in a weird situation. I should have spent all my FP last turn leaving me at zero. Then I got 3+3+3+1=10 but instead I have 13. However the 3 Plains I planned to build never got built so those 3 FP weren't spent meaning I started the turn with 3FP not 0FP. So my FP is actually correct.

My apologies, I somehow neglected to put the 3 plains in.  I gave you 3 FP back, so you now have 16 FP.  The 3 extra is from me editing in another 3 FP for you on turn 24.  I double checked your FP total and I'm pretty sure 16 FP is right.  Feel free to do the 3 plains this turn if you want.

Also, is there an open god slot in your game?

There are currently 2 open slots for either civs or gods.

Quote from: Supernerd
But I should have four crude tools because you didn't provide a reason about why I wouldn't have them.

Fixed, thanks


Anyway, Zazmio, I think my FP is wrong? I had 5 last turn (although I never actually checked that for correctness...), spent it all on snakes, then gained a total of 9 that I can see, and have 12 according to the turn. Now, don't get me wrong, I'll be thrilled if you can convince me I do have twelve FP, but for now I think I have nine.


I double checked.  You have 12 FP.  You had 5 on turn 24, then gained -3+1+2+6+1=7.  7+5=12.

((It takes a whole turn to get on a horse? Out of curiosity, what is the reasoning behind this (mechanics-wise)? In a scenario where a mounted hunter decides to remain at the settlement to research for a turn, the horse would be unavailable for use by another worker on that same turn, which seems somewhat illogical to me.))

I suppose we can chalk it up to taking some time to become familiar with the new mount.  I was trying to think of a way that would be easiest on me book keeping-wise, to be honest.  Do you really think the legendary Naga warrior Goruk would share his fire-breathing mount with some peasant?  ;)  Anyway, allowing easy constant switching of mounts between workers sounds like a headache to me.

fuck you gm

I can't think of anything much to say to that, other than I expected more fortitude from a Dwarf Fortress player.  I mean, DF is 100X more harsh than this game.  Maybe I should introduce worker tantrum spirals...

Ah, so it only took 3 to make the snakes? I thought it was five last time. Okay.

ETA: Oh right an action. Uh.

Nagas, already tired of waiting for his new worshippers to get with the diplomacy program, Zaps one Xekarni worker with advanced diplomantic [sic] ability. I am envisioning this as a boost to diplomacy-related research and actions.

I keep hitting 'modify' instead of 'quote' without realizing it.  Annoying.
Going back did not work.  I'm pretty sure I have it saved at home, though.

What I do is intentionally click modify and then copy and paste the contents of the post into a new post. That way I don't need to remove the quote tags.

I did not see any rules about how equipment stacks with other equipment, but the fact that its possible to use 2 spears at once suggests to me that my action is valid, or at least tolerable.

Jotun Oligarchy

Despite being pessimistic about Amastay's interest in actually helping the Jotun Oligarchy despite the massive massive amounts of FP that the Jotun Oligarchy generated for him, the Jotun Oligarchy still begin progress on figuring out how to create a temple for him. Because, well... Massive massive amounts of FP generation. It was only a matter of time before it became even more blatantly obvious to Amastay that the Jorun Oligarchy embodied construction more than any other civilization in the world!
