@SCREE, I’m confused about a few things.  From my analysis of previous turns, it appears that foraging for food provides 1 food, and collecting mud provides 1 mud.

Question #1:  At the end of the first turn, you indicated that there was a total of 6 food, with 3 food having been gathered.  Where did the extra 3 food come from.

Question #2:  At the end of the second turn, there was a total of 9 food.  During the third turn, both Maxine and Fluffe9911 foraged for food (+2 food).  This should have brought the amount of food up to 11 (9 + 2 = 11).  Then, at the end of the third turn, everyone ate (-5 food).  You have the amount of food as 4 / 15 [-3].  Shouldn’t it be 6 / 15 [-3] (11 - 5 = 6)?

Question #3:  Why was only 5 food consumed?  By my count there were 12 “gnomes” at the end of the third turn (13 if you count Horizon, but they didn’t actually post any proper actions…).  Why didn’t one (or two) of us starve to death?  How does eating work?



Craft brick.  Forage for food (we’re gonna need it…).

(Also, welcome Brangerion!  Our 13th (or, possibly, 14th) mouth to feed…).

Perhaps the 3 extra came from the food/candies found from the pockets of the gnomes (mentioned at the end of the first turn)?

That's correct, 3 food granted at the start as beer snacks to prevent intial starvation.

It looks like I miscounted, you should have 6 food - thanks for the catch!

For players: initially 5 food spent every 3 turns to support player character gnomes. If we end up with e.g 40 players I'll adjust this but I didn't want to punish active players with impossible food targets if some players go inactive at some point (since there would be a couple turns delay in determining if they just skipped a round or were gone inactive) since 1 turn = 1 food I didn't want food consumption to be 1 food per player at the start of the game. Your bellies are filled with beer and peanuts at the start of the game.

For now

The foragers bring back a plethora of foraged berries and root vegetables. Meanwhile, those half buried in the mud pits continue to dig out piles of the stuff, creating chants like MUD-A MUD-A MUD-A as they worked. Only one brick was made - it sat lavishly in the sunshine, judging it's lesser brethren. It was quite clearly the finest, most carefully crafted brick so far.

A selection of bricks were taken from the stockpile as the first Mud Hut went up. You're not sure when the Gnome wandered in from the woods, but before the muddy mortar was dry it seemed he had decided to move in. It would be good to put him to Work, lest he wander around idly eating the food and sleeping in the sun.
