“Hides Hemp” complains angrily to “Shakes Pear” about how “Collects Corn” stole the one item he was going to sacrifice to Cait Sith, asking if he can sacrifice “Collects Corn” instead.  “Shakes Pear” shakes his head. “No.”  “Hides Hemp” throws his hands up in exasperation and walks away.

Phlattus makes the GM sad. I said I needed a few days, man.

I know, from experience, how things like this can get out of hand, is all.  Are you sure you want more tiles?  More tiles could mean more players, maybe double or even triple the current number.    It begins to become a time consuming chore the more players and complexity that are added. 

...

Phlattus was getting ready to pout upon hearing about the Blue Light Special on tiles.  He thought he had only 1 power, and spending that 1 power could mean oblivion for Phlattus.  But it seems he actually has 3 power!  Assuming that is not a bookkeeping error, and was gained through mysterious game mechanics, it appears that Phlattus can take advantage of the Blue Light Special after all!  Therefore:

Phlattus makes a plain at B2s, a savannah at B2r and at C2r, and a tundra at B1r.  This should cost 1 power during the Blue Light Special.
Additionally, Phlattus expends 1 power enhancing the research output of a Platipeople researcher for this turn.  Then Phlattus rests.

(However, if it was actually a bookkeeping error, Phlattus does nothing this turn.)  edit:  I didn't notice that the Platipeople had sent some worship my way last turn.  Ignore all that about bookkeeping errors.

Cait Sith points out that 1 is made and 3 are free to make with it.

Fearful though I am of bringing up the idea of breaking up the divine flatness, Phlattus's followers might have eventual difficulties without trees.

[TricMagic]

Maybe he should focus on modified tiles, making the living wood be the ground.

[Zazmio]

Savannahs tend to be flat (though, I suppose, not necessarily) and have trees.

But the plains people have a legitimate concern.  Phlattus will devote some godly processing time to finding a solution to the problem.

Wood quarries? I could develop the fine art of sculpting boats.

So, if I understand things right, we're basically just waiting for Morbus?

[TricMagic]

So, if I understand things right, we're basically just waiting for Morbus?

Morbus rarely seems to do anything. Phlattus does do things. So does Cait Sith.

So Morbus, any action?

[Maximum Spin]

Well, I PMed him and he never responded, so technically you're just waiting for me. I just woke up, so I won't likely be doing too much right now, though.

I have no room to talk on that front. Though most of my burst comes in the mid-late morning.

All kinds of new biomes have been created, for which see the map key. According to my best research efforts, the only technical difference between a continental shelf and an ocean bank is whether the higher seafloor is attached to a continent, so I have taken the liberty to combine them for my own convenience.

The Plains Humans gather 12 units of food and prepare 2 fields on B3t while another one gets pregnant. Each new field must first be sown by a tribe member, and can subsequently be tended each turn to improve yields. It takes three turns to grow a crop of food (and, incidentally, also to make a baby) because this is a triangle-themed game.

The Catfish forage another 12 units of food, lay another egg, and research organisation a bit more.

The Platipeople turn out their required 12 units of food. A couple individual platipeople (platipersons?) debate the merits of using fire to preserve food, and quickly figure out that they will need to tame fire itself in order to do so.

The Retha collect 11 units of food and learn the secrets of biting sticks to make them sharp. They can now order members to make sharp sticks from wood. Each unit of wood will produce six sharp sticks. Also, one of them is now pregnant. The necessity of eating for two means that the Retha have unfortunately got just a tiny bit less food than they need this turn!

The Mountain Zebras collect 16 units of food, increasing their foraging level in the process. They also learn a bit about smacking rocks together. They haven't actually bothered to collect any rocks yet, but I didn't (as I've said) originally plan resource costs for research, so I guess they're just hypothetically imagining smacking rocks together.

The Fruit Foraging Forest Folk gather 16 units of food and also research stuff. One Folk attempts to pray to someone named Caitlin Smith. Nobody knows who that is; everyone just figures that guy went mad after the whole sacrifice debacle.

The Gremlins collect only 10 units of food, which isn't quite enough. They quickly learn the basics of sowing, though, and can clear fields as previously described.

The volcano has an unusually eerie, ominous look this turn.

All right, guys, I hate to say it but I think I'm going to have to table this at least for a while. The game itself isn't too hard to run, but I'm getting overwhelmed from other reasons and it turns out trying to process it bit-by-bit in my free time just makes me get confused about what I have and haven't already done. If I had the time to work on improving my spreadsheet I could probably solve that problem, since I already have ideas about what should be done, but even that appears to be beyond me at the moment. I'm not ready to say this is dead, but it's certainly possible that it might be. If I don't manage to finish another turn, assume the volcano erupted and caused a hexaglobal ice age.

[TricMagic]

What does your spreadsheet look like? I just use loads and loads of tabs and proper sectioning in OneNote for Windows.

Did I go overboard on terrain? 2|19|1/19. So on my own I made the exact number of different Biomes that are in my Gridhood.
