Turn 6 Starts Now. 48 hours to post orders (or sooner if all players respond sooner).

Please put all your orders in Bold, and remember to tell me your Marbits designation (Mx) and Name if you have one. If you don't, then why?

[LTDave]

M13 is listed as an NPC. Unless a new player steps in, he will remain as such.

A PC may spend an action to issue orders to an NPC or NPCs. And NPC will follow the first set of orders so issued.

Please remember to put your orders in bold, and list your Mx designation and Name.

[CroverusRaven]

Pinata pats his tummy, happy now that he's larger than before. "Ok, someone chop some wood. I've got an idea." He also looks at M13 and points at him. "You, get me some food.

Order M13 to start gathering from bushes
As soon as there is enough wood Pinata creates a shovel
He goes to a plot and Starts Digging. Then he searches what he's dug up.

[Werebiscuit]

M6 smiles brightly, happy that he seem to have created new food sources Eats, gathers food gathers food, plants a seed

Apparently over his guilt on ordering Marbits to their deaths he orders " You two with axes and daggers *points to M9 & M11 * go see if you can kill anything over there *points to the northeast* ( Note ; It seems to be M9 & M11 in the picture but M5 & M9 in the unit list...so, not sure which two he's actually pointing at)

[Werebiscuit]

Note there are 4 extra berries this turn..after 4 tend plants orders...wonder why that happened ? eh ?

( Please note that for M6 any unneeded order such as eat will become a tend plant)

[MarbitChow]

M10 "Otis" : Gather Food, Gather Food, Over Eat, Over Eat

Otis relates his encounters:

I crossed the hex boundary, and was immediately in a grey hex, an ash-laden desolate wasteland.
There were a few berry bushes, but most of hex contained giant mushrooms and strange rock formations spewing strange smelling gases.
There were creatures there as well - at least three green-skinned creatures, about the same size as us, and a fierce looking creature with fangs and stripes.
The green-skinned creatures will be known as "Otisbits", and the stripy, fanged creature is an "Otisfang".

[Werebiscuit]

M6...or indeed, "Lippy" says "Well done Otis, come get some food... can you tell how many bushes we have ? Or is that 'a few ' too ? "

[MarbitChow]

A PC may spend an action to issue orders to an NPC or NPCs. And NPC will follow the first set of orders so issued.

In order to prevent the first person who responds from hogging all the NPCs, would you consider making each order require an action, and/or assign all the 1st orders of all Marbits before you assign the 2nd?

Example: If M2 orders "All NPCs" to gather food, and M5 orders "All NPCs " to tend plants, and M6 orders an NPC to build an ax, and there are 5 NPCs (M21-25), M21 will gather food, M22 will tend plants, M23 will build an ax, M24 will gather food, and M25 will tend plants.

Otherwise, the potential advantage to being the first to respond is HUGE - they become the automatic leader of all NPCs.

M6...or indeed, "Lippy" says "Well done Otis, come get some food... can you tell how many bushes we have ? Or is that 'a few ' too ? "

Otis raises an eyebrow at Lippy, who is clearly well-named, and responds, "I see four bushes in our hex. Sorry I didn't get an exact count of bushes and mushrooms - the otisfang captured most of my attention, to be honest. I'm not going back in there alone and unarmed again."

I used an action to Order just M13 to gather me some food.

[Werebiscuit]

You'll be asking about horseless carriages next

Well, duh. They'd HAVE to be horseless. We haven't found any horses yet.

OOC So what do you do ? You then go out and find horses...ones with pointy teeth. We're not buying that you named them 'Otisfangs' /OOC

[Werebiscuit]

Lippy Points to M13 and says "Can you make me an axe ? I've another idea!" ( LTDave for this turn only this will only become an order if he doesnt have to use the eat order)

Actually one using up one order to get another order carried out by the NPC gains us nothing. Either Give them 4 orders ..or none. The huts appear to continually produce NPC's so soon we'll be using up our orders JUST to give 4 NPC's an order. Until that time the intial posters get the bonus.

[CroverusRaven]

Right, but I didn't say "Use 1 action to gather food." I simply said for him to get me food. So he may use just one, or he might use all of his actions (or if he makes the axe for Lippy, he'll just use 2 actions.)

Using that Logic , what's to say he won't make 2 axes if wood is available. But as far as I know making an axe takes 3 actions cut wood, start making axe, finish making axe. I WAS assuming you just gave him one action.

[tigerusthegreat]

Choppy spends 3 actions chopping wood, and then looks at the trees to find a pinecone, or something else to plant a new tree with (if this doesn't require an action, he will plant it in an empty slot)
