Marbit Island - The Far Side of the World - COMPLETED

[Lamech]

I grab M4!

[Lamech]

I don't think that those are food bushes... however there is a mushroom we can harvest from.

M4
Harvest food from the Mushroom
Eat
Uproot small bush
Plant berry

Anyway, we need axes to produce more wood and items, not spears.

There will still be an axe at the end of the combat, however if we do not stack up there may be no marbits to use it.
There do not appear to be any fruit bushes so I'm guessing we'll have to explore or die...and thats where the spears may come in handy.

[Exate]

I'll snag M7.

M7 will equip anything available from inside the chest after M5 opens it (particularly that Helm if it's there), then stack up and attack the creature.

That's why we're planting berries. Anyway, you guys should be fine with even a couple marbits.

[Swodaems]

Assuming I can pick up rocks to use as crude weapons:

M3 "Rod':
Grab 2 rocks
Stack for combat
Eat
Craft Rock axe tool

[LTDave]

One Marbit remains - M6.

Q: I see 2 iccons that I am interpreting as rock piles for rocks of different sizes. Is this correct? And how big are the rocks in each pile relative to us?
A: Correct. One pile is of small rocks, the other is of large (too big to carry) rocks.

Q: Does the Rock axe require the rock tool to create?
A: Yes - it is a rock attached to a stick. You always need a tool to make an item (not a Weapon - so the Sword cannot be used to make items).

Q: Does the Green creature look like it could be friendly? Or does it look like it wants to attack anything near it? (Could it possibly be tamed?)
A: It could go either way.

Q: Could we use the rocks to fight the creature if needed? Could we simply pick them up and use them as bludgeons? Could we throw the rocks at it?
A: The rocks have a +1 to Combat, so can be used to fight. Marbits can also fight without weapons or tools of any kind, but are less effective.


M5 spends two actions trying to open the Chest by kicking it, but finds it has no effect. It is of very sturdy construction.

M8 looks at the bushes - they have no berries or fruit - just leaves. The leaves are unpalatable. Cook decides that the bushes could really only be used for wood - and not much wood at that.

M4 - are you eating from the Mushroom or from the Stores?

[Lamech]

I'm gonna go with a shroom. Just to see what happens. Also fulfill my daily allotment of risk. However, I am planting a berry from the stores though.

[CroverusRaven]

Gonna Claim M6, call him Monk

Monk Will join the group and fight the creature. After it has been harvested for rations he will take its hide, then start making basic armor, then finish making basic armor.

[KF25]

I call next popped marbit.

[Lamech]

We do have berries in the food store right so I can plant one?

[Swodaems]

I see that the orders I posted last time were ignored because I forgot to bold them. Just as well, they needed changing. Apparently, everyone wants to fight the creature instead of tame it.

M3 'Rod':
Picks up 2 rocks
Eats
Stacks to fight Green Creature
attempts to break open chest with rocks

[WhirdCheese]

M5 will spend the rest of the turn kicking at the dust looking for seeds.

[LTDave]

YOUR NAME COULD BE HERE!

Turn 2 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?




Things to Note:
Red circles are mushroom food.
Black dots by the name indicates a Marbit is Starving.




Rules (such as they are)

Spoiler: show

Marbit Island is a play-by-post game run by me. Each player will be a Marbit, looking to survive here.
Move is the most important stat. It determines the number of actions you can take in a turn - move into other hexes, gather food, cut trees, build, etc.
Post your orders on the forum. For this game, orders will be resolved in the order in which they were posted - no editing of your posts, please!
This gives an advantage to early posters to grab equipment and resources, but allows later posters to know what has happened before they give their orders.
Marbits like to eat. At least once per turn. Marbits do not eat automatically, but must be given an order to eat.
If a Marbit is unable to eat, he will become hungry. A hungry Marbit that does not eat in their turn will become ill, or cwoak.
Marbits may hold up to two items in their hands. It takes an action to equip one or more items. Excess items are dropped in the hex.
If the weather turns bad, Marbits will need to take shelter in a hut. A hut can shelter up to six Marbits.
Combat is a dangerous game, and no one is really sure just how it works. High Combat and Defence values are good. Working as a team, or 'stack' is also good.
Marbits who do not submit orders within the allotted time will default to eating once, and then singing lewd lyrics drafted into popular musicals.
NPC Marbits may be given orders by Player Marbits. It takes one action to give a set of orders to one NPC. The first player to issue orders to an NPC controls it for that turn (no befriending).
All the necessary information should be displayed on the map, above. Any questions? Just ask.

[LTDave]

Not shown in picture is M9 (KF25). M9 is standing by... dun dun DUNNN! the hut.

[CroverusRaven]

Monk eats some rations. He looks for a rock tool. He then tries making an axe, then chops some wood.

[Exate]

We need to locate a less terrible hex. Marbits, back me up here.

M7 will head northeast, look around, and return with scouting information.

[Lamech]

I appear to be green... Is that a bad sign?

M4 Builder:
Look for a rock tool in Rock Pile
Plant Berry
Eat non-shroomfood

Rest and recover from the green

[CroverusRaven]

"I will try and gather as much wood as I can from these bushes so we can be well equipped for whatever may be in the nearby hexes. Perhaps I can make some tools for when we find a useful food source."

[HerbieRai]

Hey guys, just noticed some rules changes. We DO NOT AUTO EAT anymore. Make sure you use an EAT action.

Cook gets a nervous look as he realizes they can't stay in this hex, and he has no equipment.

Cook EATS, Picks up a Rock, Heads NW, returns to starting hex.
