Marbit Island - COMPLETED

[Nnelg]

Question for the colonizers: what are you going to do if someone steals? Croak them?

Well, I imagine that something will be done...

What if someone (like myself) harvests a bunch of wood, but wants more for it than others are willing to pay?

Then the Law of Supply and Demand will sort it all out.

Also, who is going to make up any additional rules? Will it be completely by consensus? Or will it be majority/an elected group/etc

It's a frontier society, so whatever goes on, goes on. I'm only putting these two rules down now because they are essential to cooperation (and therefore survival).

New Analysis of combat!

It is a 5 or 6 that makes damage. While DRM's add directly to the result, making each worth roughly three of a stat. Also all stats of the stack are combined. The creature never was really a threat after all to a significant group. While a bit more complicated I can still perform sufficient mathamancy to calculate these odds.

Turn 12 Starts Now. 24 hours to post orders (or sooner if all players respond sooner).

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

[HerbieRai]

I'm not so sure Lamech. Defense seems to work that way but attack seems to be different.

The Otisfang had 8 attack and got 5 wounds, rolling 5 4+'s. This would lead to a 4+ needed to wound

The Otisfang on defense had 6, and blocked 3, rolling 3 5+'s and blocked 3 wounds. This means you need a 5+ to block.

Unfortunetly, DRM's on attack don't seem to work that way.

On defense, we got 6 5+'s. This plus the 8 DRM adds to the 14 wounds blocked. (direct add like you stated)

Our attack though, we got 13 4+'s. That plus 8 would lead to 21 wounds inflicted. Was this a math error LTDave? I know we're checking you pretty fast here.

[LTDave]

DRM means "Die Roll Modifier".
A DRM of +8 means you increase your dice rolls by up to 8 points - so 8 rolls of 3 can become 8 rolls of 4.

I can't guarantee my maths is correct, but I think I'm pretty right.

[Lamech]

Okay, that makes mathamancy hard.

Does the fang have any use so far?

Huggles is still looking to trade something for a tool.

You didn't notice M21's name, LTDave?


M20 "Isocates": Gather Food, Gather Food, Gather Food, Tend Bush;
M21 "Iolol": Craft Shield (2), Craft Half-Spear, Eat.

EDIT:
Changed my mind when I remembered the stacking bonus thing.

[Werebiscuit]

DRM means "Die Roll Modifier".
A DRM of +8 means you increase your dice rolls by up to 8 points - so 8 rolls of 3 can become 8 rolls of 4.

I can't guarantee my maths is correct, but I think I'm pretty right.

But there were only 4 rolls of 3 giving another 4 to the original 13 4+'s to make 17 it looks like 2 rolls of 2 were given +2's to to combat even though there was only 1 +2 DRM to combat for the 1 sword.

Nevertheless it would have croaked on 15 wounds... I always had faith in you guys

[KF25]

Too Random II gathers food X3 and eats.

Can I chop wood without a axe?

[Werebiscuit]

M20 "Isocates": Equip Shield, Tend Bush, Examine Statue, Attack "J-Raff" (sorry, Otis).

O_o... there's going to be trouble....

P. S. please do not attack the creatures in the northwest hex...at least not just yet.

[Nnelg]

Meh, actually I realized it would be better to attack next turn, so I could get stacking bonuses.

[Lamech]

I think you need a knife or axe. And you do need a tool to make stuff... hence my desire to trade.

[KF25]

M20 "Isocates": Equip Shield, Tend Bush, Examine Statue, Attack "J-Raff" (sorry, Otis).

O_o... there's going to be trouble....

P. S. please do not attack the creatures in the northwest hex...at least not just yet.

Why not?

[Werebiscuit]

Meh, actually I realized it would be better to attack next turn, so I could get stacking bonuses.

That wasn't what I meant. Your stacking bonus only gives you an extra attack.

[Exate]

Is it just me, or have the last two people to level up not gotten any kind of stat increase?

Do we have any precedent yet for making items out of presumably superior materials- metal axes or knives rather than stone ones, and so forth- to check if there's a superior result?
