Can I get on the waiting list?

And how will that work. When one dies one comes up or is it for the next game?

This game has such thoroughly broken mechanics, but hey, who cares.
My games always start that way. 0P

Births today are two 5s and one 3.
 The hunt provides (20*3=60) food and (20*3=60) bones.
 You have also found the first item!

It's a Warrior's Tower Shield of the Creator.
+8 effectiveness in defense, +4 effectiveness in attacks, +15 effectiveness when building

As for the attack (29*5=145) vs Irony's (12*5=60), he's smoked.
 You receive 32 food and 30 bones for the deathblow.

It is now Volatar's turn. Better luck next time IronyOwl!

The primary issue I see with the game is that it's always good to have more members, and members don't have any diminishing returns. The net effect is that:

A) A larger tribe will almost always steamroll a smaller one
B) Larger tribes have an easier time becoming even larger

As a result, it tends to be a very "whoever gets ahead first ultimately wins" sort of scenario. I'd suggest some way to make it a lot harder for a large tribe to bring its full force to bear on a smaller one, and hopefully some way to make more tribe members less of a straight-up advantage.

Also back on the waiting list.

All my tribe members hunt.

If I end up with 200 bones or more, I cast Storm on Aqizzar.

(Also, I also claim a spot on the waiting list. This game was awesome, and I am excited to play it when its not so broken :P)

I'll show the changes after this game is through. For one thing food is going to become more stingy, so more members will be more demanding if you aren't careful. There will be more to come.

 The hunt results in (71*2=142) food and (71*4=284) bones. Fuck the item roll...

The Dargradians of Rogutta summon up their most powerful spell yet. A massive storm comes and grinds the Kobolds of Stlidibithronkus to the ground.

 Volatar wins.



Ok... next game will be up in a bit. Until then, here's the new changes that will take place for the next game.

That's because it was a bone storm shotgun duel, not a tribal conflict.

True... I'll put in more Spell nerfage...

Lets see... every 300 bones the multiplier goes up with shamans, and that storm spell gets bumped up to a tier 3.

Are we going to have more tribes during the next round or is it only going to be 3 again?
