Ask questions, discuss, etc.

Kindly limit all posts in the Game Thread to commands.

Eh, skills don't really exist. It's basically just bonuses to different actions.

If you make a combat oriented character, you'll have bonuses in whatever kind of combat you're doing.

If you punch trees for a bit you'll hit harder than other characters.

You don't. It's a low information game and you figure things out through trial and error.

When Smash attempted to slot a Spell, I told him he needed to find a spell scroll to slot a spell. Now anyone playing a spellcaster knows that they need to find scrolls.

Day Phase will last 30 turns.

Probably for a while.

I should be updating tonight. Would have been earlier but I left my mouse at home and editing the .svg file with a touchpad will literally kill me.

Alright, update on how often I'll update. Hah.

After 6 hours, I will check to see if 75% of the player base has entered a command. After 9 hours, I will see if 50% of the player base has entered a command. After 12 hours I will update whenever regardless of inputs.

All holdover commands will continue in perpetuity until the goal is achieved or the Stick dies.

I assume there's a commands-per-turn limit. Is it a given number, or "keep it reasonable"?

Good question, I actually had to think about this one.

Your character will accomplish as many commands as I think are possible during a given turn.

As a baseline (subject to unforeseen command sets), you can generally expect to be able to move-->perform animated action or perform non-animated action-->move.

Your last set of commands is a good example. You moved to the plant and performed an animated action (examining the plant, finding the fruit). In your next action you made a non-animated command (harvest some additional fruit) and then moved. If you had wanted to thoroughly search the plants and harvest from the second smaller bush, your move command would have not gone through, and your character would be stopped over the second bush gathering additional fruit this panel.

In relation to simple reactions between players such as accepting fruits, do players have the option to accept/decline offerings? I only ask because if input between panels is necessary for multiplayer actions to occur, it feels wrong to have not mentioned Rilla/Alphakoka and give them a chance to accept things.

Some sort of Offer Command matched with an Acceptance Command should be good. Probably a good idea to coordinate that through PM's or in this thread.

With respect to projects, another multiplayer facet, the game works with, I guess, logarithmic scaling. Groups of two, three, four people issuing similar/identical commands wrt a goal will increase efficiency/productivity of the activity. Once you get to five or more then you get a too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen issue.

Bonuses also increase with Party/Guild creation.

I'll operate through this thread, as I value transparency in mechanics driven narratives like this.
