Roonmastor 02/02/2024 52
Right so now we just have to have the night actions go our way
Preezy 02/02/2024 52
3 actions to use tomorrow as well which is good
Roonmastor 02/02/2024 52
No response from Pedz. Suspect it has not been seen or has been ignored
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 53
That's fine
Our position is a bit different now
Roonmastor 02/02/2024 54
Ah shoot! That means Charlie had three moves this turn. They are probably on C7
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 54
How?!
DanCRobbo
Our position is a bit different now
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 54
Oh yeah
Just seen the PM
Roonmastor 02/02/2024 54
You get an extra action.
@44Redshaw do we get to add this to this turn and take a third action?
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 55
Ha, just PM'd that
Roonmastor 02/02/2024 55
Move again?
Does it help as we will be in three range anyway from tonight, right?
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 58
I'd be minded not to, Alphas don't now yet, and they're the majority
Less likely to be spooked by us possibly going for the Ultimate Power
I say fire a second missile at Jen?
Arguably another gamble
But they've gone well for us so far
Roonmastor 02/02/2024 59
Or one at Tomous? Or one at Pedz? Argh!
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 59
:unknownsmilie:
Roonmastor 02/02/2024 01
Let's go two at Jenuall. Shows allegiance to Charlie somewhat
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 28
Qikz lied about verifying me
He wasted our free use forcefield too
44Redshaw 02/02/2024 20
Team Bravo, you have 40 minutes to add a third action
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 22
@Preezy are you about?
DanCRobbo 02/02/20240:34
Right, I have no clue where we go from here, but Charlie were definitely making a dash for the Ultimate Powerup, which (I believe) must now be on tile X.
Roonmastor 02/02/20240
So we need to make an alliance with Alpha and move the powerup either to us or them. Then they will likely reach the power up anyway but we will be able to hammer that position with power ups from both sides.
And now I'm captain hindsight, we shouldn't have fired at A4 as that has the world shield on it lol
@44Redshaw What happens if multiple teams reach the ultimate power up on the same turn?
Roonmastor
@44Redshaw What happens if multiple teams reach the ultimate power up on the same turn?
44Redshaw 02/02/20244
We might have to find out together
Roonmastor 02/02/20245
And do missiles resolve before power ups are received?
44Redshaw 02/02/20247
Yes
Roonmastor 02/02/20247
Right, so we either banzai to the power up ourselves if we can make it (but means we need to get the vote and we're more likely to see Alpha win than us); or we bombard the power up square with Alpha's help and see how the chips fall next turn. We can do three turns and have a free shot.
DanCRobbo 02/02/20240
@44Redshaw can we move onto A and C tiles?
44Redshaw 02/02/20248
No, the furthermost tile you can travel to is X
DanCRobbo 02/02/20248
OK
Can we move back along the grid to tiles we've previously been on?
44Redshaw 02/02/20249
Yes, as long as they're still there
DanCRobbo 02/02/2024 02
This is the first turn Charlie had three actions available, right?
That's a question for my team mates not you OB as I know you probably can't tell me that
DanCRobbo 02/02/20242
There is clearly some kind of hidden game mechanic that removes tiles that have previously been stepped on if not retrodden within two(?) turns
I think the plan this turn has to be:
I try to get in as Blower
We move two spaces to claim the ultimate power-up
Forcefield on one of the two of you, hope the other one doesn't get targeted
Next turn, move back as far as we can, to give us maneuvering space in the inevitable missile endgame
Roonmastor 02/02/20244
The squares disappear every couple of turns (I think) up to two behind where you are right now.
DanCRobbo
This is the first turn Charlie had three actions available, right?
Roonmastor 02/02/20245
I believe so, yes
DanCRobbo 02/02/20247
They may already be on tile X then
@44Redshaw would obtaining the Ultimate Powerup prompt a global announcement?
Roonmastor 02/02/20248
They are at best C7 I think
They were C4 the same time as us, we are now on B5 and they are on C7 given the "team location - 2 falls into the water mechanic"
Alpha team are probably shielding up ready for a missile war. Charlie are bolting for the ultimate power up. And we are sort of caught between the two strategies and sort of haven't done either
1
DanCRobbo
@44Redshaw would obtaining the Ultimate Powerup prompt a global announcement?
44Redshaw 03/02/2024 01
Another one for us to find out together
Roonmastor 03/02/20241
Today will be slow paced I think. But if you get Blower Dan then we will know for certain the location of the power-up and can plan accordingly.
DanCRobbo 03/02/20242
And if it moves to B7 we'll definitely get it
44Redshaw
No, the furthermost tile you can travel to is X
DanCRobbo 03/02/20242
Because of this
Hyuk hyuk
Roonmastor 03/02/20246
Which means we would move two and shield one. But we will get hammered by missiles to get to the power up. But you would be untouched and have the ability to fire four missiles the following day. You probably won't get the Blower the following day (although the big power up probably removes that ability) but just a slight chance one of the others gets it.
I have one other idea, but I'll see how it all plays out
DanCRobbo 03/02/2024 18
@44Redshaw I'm Blower today. By our calculations the ultimate powerup will move from Tile X to tile B7 as a result. In order to claim the ultimate powerup do we need to end a turn on the same tile, or just pass it? I.e. could we move onto B7, claim it, then move again in the same turn?
44Redshaw 03/02/2024 31
You can only obtain a powerup from a tile by ending your turn on it
DanCRobbo 03/02/2024 41
Cheers
That makes our plan clear IMO
DanCRobbo 03/02/2024 18
The tile is on B7, OB has confirmed via PM. Am I OK to submit our team actions? Move twice (to get to B7) and forcefield one of the two of you?
Roonmastor 03/02/2024 26
Yes
DanCRobbo 03/02/20240:39
Hahaha
We got a nuke
DanCRobbo 03/02/20246
Here's my read of the situation based on the info OB has provided.
Charlies are obviously in the worst position. I think they're on Tile X and they only have one other spot to move to. Plus there's only the two of them left.
Alphas are in a strong position. There's four of them, and I believe they're on Tile A3 meaning they've still got lots of options for movement (i.e. potentially avoiding missile attacks). On the flipside, they'll likely not have many extra power-ups beyond standard missiles and forcefields.
We're not in a great position on the face of things - we can move forwards or backwards one tile, but ending a turn on Tile X would presumably remove Tile B6 as a future option. We do however have a good amount of firepower at our disposal.
No Blower means no additional protection from here on.
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 00
While an alliance with Alpha to take out Charlie is tempting, we need to get Alpha moving. Some warning Missiles to A3 might get them to rethink their strategy. Do we try to play both sides?
Roonmastor 04/02/20246
Don't just assume Alpha is on A3. If I were playing as them, I might hide on A2 if I wasn't bothered about moving forward. They can activate A4 at any time and neutralise a round of missile firing and locate us.
@44Redshaw Do you only get a power up from a particular space once or can you keep getting it each round?
I think we have to ally with Charlie, and probably hold onto our nuke until A4 has gone.
Unless we think the nuke will break through the dome?
Roonmastor

44Redshaw 04/02/20245
Only one powerup per tile
Roonmastor 04/02/20249
The most missiles Alpha could have is 6 right now. It seems they mirrored our first two days moves and got A2 and A3 power ups and then lost A1 on turn 2 like we did.
Someone fired on turn 3 and turn 5 who wasn't us.
As Charlie bolted for X, I assume Alpha fired on turn 5. As Alpha have also not been moving it is likely they also fired on turn 3.
So we both have 4 shots, and we also have the nuke.
I'm curious what happens if we move to X where the Charlie's are. Knowing OB, it would be an orgy and...our teams merge?
There is a lot of sticky substance and we are all protected?

Roonmastor

DanCRobbo 04/02/20242
What dome? I think I missed this m
Roonmastor 04/02/20243
Alpha still have A4 available to use as a power up, which is a defence dome that stops missiles from hitting all players.
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 03
Oh is it?!
I thought it was just a device to reveal everyone's location! I definitely didn't see that
DanCRobbo 04/02/20248
@44Redshaw The thread is dormant. Obviously killing all the spies and removing the blower was always going to slow things down, but I wonder if it's also because it's the weekend, and things might pick up tomorrow? Are the other Team chats similarly quiet?
Is the deadline still 8pm or do you think you'll delay until Monday to see if you get any more engagement?
44Redshaw 04/02/20249
Yeah nothing else to do in the thread now and teams no longer need to do anything other than decide on their actions, so it's all gone very basic
Reckon we can push on with the deadline, but I'll let you know if anything changes
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 02
OK, cheers.
@Preezy Do you think you'll be around much today?
@Roonmastor What do you think our best way forward is?
Roonmastor 04/02/2024 21
I think we try and make contact with the Charlie team and go from there. I would probably fire a single missile at Alpha just to keep them on their toes, and just forcefield up to the eyeballs. The only thing left for us to grab is the B6 power up, so I'm edging towards grabbing that.
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 22
I think, if at all possible, we save the nuke for the alphas, and only use it when we're as certain as we can be that the tile we aim it at will be occupied
Roonmastor 04/02/2024 24
Yeah, I think shooting A2 or A3 gives us the best intel on that. The lava will tell us if they are on A4 or beyond (and A4 is announced/protected).
I would lean shooting A2, move B6 and forcefield Dan.
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 28
Do we want to use a forcefield this turn though? We don't get them that often and will want them for the endgame. We figured it might be predictable yesterday that we'd be on B7 but it's less so today that we'll end the turn on B6, arguably?
Roonmastor 04/02/2024 32
Gonna send this to all Bravo and Charlie via PM:
Hola,
Wondering if you are interested in a little mutually beneficial alliance?
Alpha have the most players and the most spaces to hide on, as well as the dome of protection on A4 they can use at any time.
We were wondering if you wanted to do a coordinated missile attack on the this round. We only ask for one missile to be fired, on a space of your choosing at Alpha, and we would hit another tile to try to ensure a hit.
Thoughts?
:thumbs:

DanCRobbo
I think, if at all possible, we save the nuke for the alphas, and only use it when we're as certain as we can be that the tile we aim it at will be occupied
Roonmastor 04/02/2024 33
I think the forcefield remains in force, doesn't it? Moving you to 1HP to 2HP?
It says it is equipped, cannot be stacked but can be replaced. Sounds like it remains in play.
Can you confirm @44Redshaw
44Redshaw 04/02/2024 15
That is correct
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 26
@Roonmastor did you send our actions?
Roonmastor
I would lean shooting A2, move B6 and forcefield Dan.
DanCRobbo 04/02/2024 50
I'm going to send this to OB
Roonmastor 04/02/20240:11
Go ahead, I didn't do actions
DanCRobbo
Is the deadline still 8pm or do you think you'll delay until Monday to see if you get any more engagement?
44Redshaw 04/02/20249
I should have gone with your suggestion first time
DanCRobbo
@Preezy Do you think you'll be around much today?
Preezy 05/02/20244
Morning fellas, sorry I had a busy weekend so wasn't around at all
DanCRobbo 05/02/20243
Exactly what a spy would say
Roonmastor 05/02/20246
So everyone missed then?
A5 is where the Alpha's are right now.
@44Redshaw we didn't receive a power up from B6. This is our first occasion on this square
DanCRobbo 05/02/20248
There's a chance the other teams didn't miss. We don't know yet if you get told when/if you get hit by a missile (remember everyone has 2HP)
I didn't use the forcefield on myself because I guessed nobody would expect us to move to B6.
I thought it would be best to keep it.
But I could be wrong - someone could have hit me - it all depends on whether it triggers a notification.
Roonmastor 05/02/20249
OB confirmed they stay equipped
DanCRobbo 05/02/20249
Stay equipped? What, indefinitely?
Roonmastor 05/02/20240
Until you get hit, yeah
Roonmastor
It says it is equipped, cannot be stacked but can be replaced. Sounds like it remains in play. Can you confirm @44Redshaw
Roonmastor 05/02/20240
This was confirmed
DanCRobbo 05/02/20242
gooseberry fool, my bad. Sorry.
We now have two forcefields - could equip both tonight
Roonmastor 05/02/20243
Might as well, only reason not to is if we also want to move and shoot
If shooting, we want to target A5. Means the Alpha's need to either go to A4 and use that power up, or they need to go A6+ and burn A4 behind them.
We need to decide if we want to remain on B6 or move, we get max 5HP as a team this round (6HP max max), which means we can get wiped out in any single round by both teams or maybe even one team with freefire power ups.
Charlie max at 4HP (assume they are at this level already) and Alpha at 8HP (they won't be at this level yet).
Roonmastor
So everyone missed then? A5 is where the Alpha's are right now. @44Redshaw we didn't receive a power up from B6. This is our first occasion on this square
44Redshaw 05/02/2024 06
Balls! Sorry! Will send another PM now
DanCRobbo 05/02/20244
Oh that's a good power
44Redshaw
Balls! Sorry! Will send another PM now
DanCRobbo 05/02/20244
This time you've deducted a forcefield
Roonmastor 05/02/20245
And moved our location
It's a good job we know what we have
Status update
Location: B6
Missiles: 4
Forcefields: 2
Powerups: Free shot (on any turn after this one you may fire a missile without using an action);
Free shot and free forcefield equip (on any turn after this one you may fire a missile and equip a forcefield without using an action);
Tactical nuclear warhead (when firing this weapon you only need to aim at a tile – you do not need to aim at another player)
Long-range homing missile (when firing this weapon you only need to aim at a player – you do not need to aim at a tile)
Once A4 is out of play, that homing missile will be really useful
:thumbs:

44Redshaw 05/02/20247
Eh
I thought I'd just hit reply all to my last sent message!
44Redshaw 05/02/2024
Actions in by 8 please, chaps
DanCRobbo 05/02/2024
OK. @Roonmastor How do you want to play it from here
Roonmastor 05/02/2024
Equip a forcefield on two people, and then either move or shoot.
DanCRobbo 05/02/2024
Can you submit tonight?
44Redshaw 05/02/2024 1
Deadline approaching
DanCRobbo 05/02/2024
Done
Roonmastor 05/02/2024
Thanks for sorting Dan!
DanCRobbo 05/02/2024
No worries. My daughter fell asleep early so I had chance to get online!
Wow, Alphas have squandered their advantage going power-up hunting
DanCRobbo 05/02/2024
I wonder if, the turn after this next one, both Alpha and Charlie will be on X?
Roonmastor 05/02/20249
Yeah, Alpha have blasted forward. I'm wondering if our best play next turn is to nuke X, and fire our other missiles at A7 (or A6).
Nuking X is always the best play as you might hit Charlie if you miss Alpha. We are now at 33% of hitting Alpha and 50% of hitting Charlie, meaning targeting X gives a 66% chance to hit, or a 17% chance to hit both teams.
Of course, the mind games mean the odds of someone being somewhere is not truly random so those % could be a bit out.
I think I prefer firing a regular missile at A6 as the power up there is very good. A forcefield on me is very important. Then it's just if we move or fire.
Forget me, I already have a forcefield on, and there are none to be had in the supply.
:thumbs:
1
My view is that now is the time to roll the dice. We have max defence, our enemies will only gain more defence faster than us, and missiles faster than us. I think it is time to fire, and perhaps properly recruit the Charlies
They haven't responded to any of my attempts so far so maybe you will have more joy, Dan?
If we plan to wait a turn to see if the odds improve, that is the same as assuming they will move to X
Roonmastor
They haven't responded to any of my attempts so far so maybe you will have more joy, Dan?
DanCRobbo 06/02/20245

Nope
Roonmastor 06/02/20247
:shocked:
Yeah, I mustn't have sent it. Can't see it in my PMs
DanCRobbo 06/02/20243
That will explain their lack of reply
Roonmastor 06/02/20241
Bastards not responding to my unsent messages
It needs a rewrite now, so feel free to do so and send it out
Preezy 06/02/2024
Morning fellas, apologies again for the radio silence
when are we using our nuke?
Roonmastor 06/02/2024
I think we should use it today, but what do you think?
Preezy 06/02/2024
The game seems to be in a lull so why not cause some carnage and thin out the herd
DanCRobbo 06/02/2024
Hold up
Roc has engaged with our message
Might be better to try and thin out some Alphas with the Charlies this turn
Roonmastor 06/02/2024
Yeah, okay. Stick to conventional fire for A6 then maybe?
Preezy 06/02/2024
Preezy used Warmonger Influence - it was not very effective!
Roonmastor 06/02/2024
They can target A7 . Let them name the target player as act of good faith. We could even drop a post into the thread saying there is a good power up on A6 and encourage them to go to that square (meaning they have to trade a power up for a hit)
DanCRobbo 06/02/2024 1
Do you want to reply Roon
Mainly as I'm not sure I follow
Roonmastor 06/02/2024 4
Yeah, done
Roonmastor 06/02/2024 4
Agreed Charlie will fire Cora at A7 and we fire Cora at A6. Now just to decide what to do with the rest of the turn.
44Redshaw 06/02/2024 0
Ready to confirm your actions?
Roonmastor 06/02/2024 2
I guess I'll do it today.
Will move to B7, shoot one missile at Cora on A6 and not spend our other turn.
44Redshaw 06/02/2024 3
Any reason you're not using a third action?
DanCRobbo 06/02/2024 3
Thanks Roon. Sorry, I've been offline until now.
Roonmastor 06/02/2024
Saving missiles as we only have a stock of 4, and our chance to hit Alpha is still pretty poor.
44Redshaw 06/02/2024
Fair enough
DanCRobbo 06/02/20242
Well that went well
Roonmastor 06/02/20244
Ooh, better than expected that
DanCRobbo 06/02/20244
Yeah that puts us in a really good position
Might be worth proposing to the Charlies that we continue in the same vein?
Roonmastor 06/02/20244
I'm assuming Charlie got hit for the forcefield to get destroyed, unless it is one of us and we didn't get notified
DanCRobbo
Might be worth proposing to the Charlies that we continue in the same vein?
Roonmastor 06/02/20246
Yeah, we need to keep them onside before they realise we are now the strongest team.
We do need to fire the nuke this round, expect high fire on us this round from both teams I think.
@44Redshaw would the individual be notified if they lost their forcefield?
DanCRobbo 06/02/20248
Nuke X?
Roonmastor 06/02/20241
Seems like a fair plan. Although will Alpha go to X? It takes them two moves to do so...
Roonmastor
@44Redshaw would the individual be notified if they lost their forcefield?
44Redshaw 07/02/20249
Yes. And now that all spies are dead, the whole team is notified
DanCRobbo 07/02/20240
@44Redshaw would an individual be notified if they were hit by a missile?
DanCRobbo
@44Redshaw would an individual be notified if they were hit by a missile?
44Redshaw 07/02/20245
Not directly, no.
They would be announced as dead in the thread, and removed from their group chat
DanCRobbo 07/02/20247
But if they only got hit once? Because of the HP thing?
44Redshaw 07/02/20249
Either they have a forcefield on and get the team notification, or they don't have a forcefield and therefore they die
DanCRobbo 07/02/20249
Oh I misread the thread
44Redshaw 07/02/20249
Ah
DanCRobbo 07/02/20249
"Everyone starts with 1HP"
44Redshaw 07/02/20249
Correct
DanCRobbo 07/02/20240
I thought it was 2
OK so we're actually doing pretty well!
44Redshaw 07/02/20240
DanCRobbo 07/02/20243
@44Redshaw Does our "long-range homing missile" come from our stock of 4 Missiles?
44Redshaw 07/02/20247
No, it's additional
Can cost an action or be a free action as a powerup
DanCRobbo 07/02/20242
OK so we have the four conventional Missiles plus the long range one and the nuke
I'm guessing you're not giving anything else away regarding the effects of the nuke?
44Redshaw 07/02/20243
Not until it's been used
DanCRobbo 07/02/20244
Yeah thought so
We know the Alphas can't have stayed on A6 as otherwise tile A5 wouldn't have collapsed. But they could be there now, or on A7, or X.
Charlies are on C7 or X
We are on B7
Today we could move to B6 & use the nuke on X? Then depending on the outcome, we're in a decent position to "mop up" next turn
Roonmastor 07/02/20241
They are on A6, we hit them
DanCRobbo 07/02/20241
One other, far more risky, move I had thought of:
Anyone else can probably calculate that we obtained the Ultimate Powerup but they don't know what it is.
We could bluff that it's the power to recruit a spy, as long as we know what tile they're on.
Then, I could PM someone on Team Alpha (Mommy has been game for an alliance before, or I could lean on my wolf-team connection with Tomous from the recent AYAW) and ask if they want to win the game for sure with us - all they need to do is tell us what tile they're on.
That would allow us to target them for recruitment, and target one of their current teammates with a missile - because as per the rules, once a team goes down to two, if one is a spy, the non-spy is killed and the spy joins their true team.
But really, we're just going to drop a nuke
Sorry, they'd need to tell us what tile they're ending the turn on, for that to work.
Roonmastor
They are on A6, we hit them
DanCRobbo 07/02/20242
Oh yeah.
Roonmastor 07/02/20245
The only other possibility I think is the nuke will irradiate the tile maybe, so going X brings Charlie to one locale, and Alpha to two (and us to two).
Going A7 should bring the Alpha's to one (or two if you can pass through), Charlie's to two and keep us on three.
Odds on X landing a hit are still theoretically higher, but I think the Alpha's will be like us and unwilling to give up their A6 space.
DanCRobbo 07/02/20246
Hmm, interesting points
Roonmastor 07/02/20248
Although the Alpha's did blast through all their other spaces, I think that was to dodge our shots and it worked.
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
*nearly
Roonmastor 07/02/2024
I reckon we ask Charlie to do the same as yesterday, we take A7 and they can opt for A6, but we fire our nuke. We should probably also fire one conventional missile at X to make us feel less shitty if we miss our nuke shot. Target Jenuall as he posted in thread so he is more active. And we need to pick where we want to stand, which I'm easy on.
You know what, if the nuke is going up, let's fire the whole arsenal.
Charlie's to fire A6
Nuke to A7
Homing on Mommy (?)
Missile to X on Jenuall
Roonmastor
You know what, if the nuke is going up, let's fire the whole arsenal.
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
Well now hold on
We don't know exactly what the nuke will do
So we might end up squandering some firepower
For example if you're right about the nuke irradiating a tile - then the turn after we can use regular Missiles on the team that is stuck and the homing missile on the team that isn't. Whereas using the homing Missile now is a waste - as we might use it on a player we're about to nuke anyway!
Roonmastor 07/02/2024
Yeah okay
Got an itchy trigger finger for a second there
The irradiated tile is an assumption on my part ofc
Roonmastor
Charlie's to fire A6 Nuke to A7 Homing on Mommy (?) Missile to X on Jenuall
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
I'm OK with this apart from using the homer
Preezy 07/02/20242
Roonmastor 07/02/20246
Cool, I'll PM Charlies
Roonmastor
Cool, I'll PM Charlies
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
Looks like the plan is set
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
So... shall we submit our actions?
:thumbs:
1
Roonmastor 07/02/2024 3
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024 7
Ah, er, hang on
Roon you've proposed (to Charlies via PM) we target Jen on A7
But our plan was to nuke A7
Roonmastor 07/02/2024 8
Yeah, well we will hit Jen with the nuke on A7 along with the others
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024 8
Are we better nuking X?
Because it traps the Charlies so they'll be easy pickings
Roonmastor 07/02/2024 8
It also impacts us
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
And we can home in on the Alphas (might only be Mommy by then)
Roonmastor
It also impacts us
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
True
OK so...
Nuke A7
One regular missile targeting Jenuall on X
We stay put (no third action)
(Or shall we revert to B6?)
Roonmastor 07/02/2024
Happy to do either really. I suspect we are getting hit either way.
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
I think we should move. We haven't in a while.
We've not been hit yet so odds are they'll target us at B7 if they haven't yet
Nuke A7
One regular missile to Jenuall on Tile X
Move to B6
Roonmastor 07/02/2024
We did move last night and stayed put the night before
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
I'm so good at keeping track of this game.
Roonmastor 07/02/2024
Happy to move to B6, it's a coin toss anyway. I'm guessing Alpha's hit Charlie's yesterday. They probably want to knock one of the teams out as they were leading so had the biggest threat to them being multiple weapons.
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024 2
@Preezy what do you think?
DanCRobbo 07/02/2024
@44Redshaw will you accept submissions here
44Redshaw 07/02/2024
Yeah can do, now that the spies are all dead
44Redshaw 07/02/2024
Clock's a-tickin'
44Redshaw 07/02/2024
Have I missed a message?
Am I referring to Dan's message at 16.54?
:thumbs:
1
Roonmastor 07/02/20240
Yep!
Roonmastor 07/02/20240
Oooh, called it!
Alpha stuck on A6 now, we'll need to hammer them next turn.
My thinking is that we are best going to X soon turn too. I want to see what happens if we co-locate with Charlie. We probably can't achieve both things. But now missile fire is going to be coming out faster, we need to finish off one of the teams quickly. Argh! It's not easy this.
We can fire 4 missiles (3+ our free shot).
Next turn we can fire 4 missiles again (2 + a missile/protect combo + our homing).
We can't move if doing the above.
If we get located, just the per turn hits mean we could take four hits, and then it's whatever they have in the arsenal. Alpha can't move so they will just shoot/shield constantly.
The extra shot/turn really screws us, but at least it'll speed things up.
I think it just got really scary to me because we effectively just took the lead. 4HP and two spaces Charlies, 5HP and one space Alpha's, 6 spaces and 6HP Bravo.
I think I've misread some of our power ups. I thought they were all single use, but some read as multi-use (eg. Free Shot). Can you confirm @44Redshaw ?
Only matters if we want to fire our missiles and leg it this turn.
44Redshaw 08/02/2024
Could be an error on my part. They are supposed to be single-use.
DanCRobbo 08/02/20249
Roon I think Preezy and I would agree that you are team captain here
What do you think is our best move now?
Alphas are stuck so as you say they'll just be firing away, likely at us.
So with that in mind is it worth maintaining the Charlie alliance for another round?
Between us we could wipe the Alphas out in one turn
If both Bravo and Charlie fire three Missiles at A6 - one each at their remaining players - then even if they all have Forcefields they're all dead.
But it opens the door to a potential Charlie double cross ie they fire on us as we fire on the Alphas
Roonmastor 08/02/20247
I thought you were team captain and I was just providing you with tactical options
1
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
Let's make @Preezy captain then
Captain Preezy, what shall we do?
:thumbs:
1
Roonmastor 08/02/2024
I'm torn. I like working with the Charlie team, but the theory would suggest now we are in the lead our best move is to remove one team asap, and on a missiles required basis targeting Charlie makes most sense, but we can also miss on the Charlie's so we can screw ourselves.
If I wasn't turn limited, I'd banzai to X and fire at Alpha to wipe them out
I just have this notion that something interesting will happen if we meet a team on X
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
Interesting but not beneficial, surely?
Roonmastor 08/02/2024
Knife fight or orgy
We should come out on top either way
But high risk just right now
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
We know the Alphas are on A6 and we know Jenuall doesn't have a forcefield. They might equip him with one this turn though.
We also know the Charlies are either on C7 or X
And we know their powerups likely mirror ours at this point
We could PM the Charlies again and propose we wipe out the Alphas using Missiles together and each use our Free Shot to fire the third missile, enabling us both to use our third turn onto tile X (giving them the impression we're on B7) to see what happens if we meet on X? In case our forces merge? Or just to trigger something interesting? As it'll be a straight gunfight between the two of us once the Alphas are gone
BUT we then have the option of following through with that plan OR double crossing them, staying where we are, firing one missile at them on X (if they go with our plan) and another, homing missile at them as well (in case they don't go with our plan)
Our alliance won't last beyond this turn anyway
But best case scenario, we wipe out the Alphas, kill one of Roc or Pedz (prob Roc, he's more active) and then we just have to get Pedz on tile X or C7 to win the game
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
So...
Roonmastor 08/02/2024
If you can get the Charlies on board, let's do it.
DanCRobbo

Roonmastor 08/02/2024 50
This
I don't think the provenance of the shot is confirmed
(if we do betray)
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
Done
Let's see if they are on board.
If they are, we then have one other choice: oblige or betray
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
Right, they're in
They might always betray us, of course
But hopefully if they do, they'll think we're on B7 based on my message.
FYI @Roonmastor @Preezy I'm going to be offline between around 5pm until much later tonight
Will have a spate of online-ness 20pm until 5pm as its my bus home
So either I can submit our actions then (if we agree them) or one of you two can do so before the 8pm deadline
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
OK so I think I'll be acting unilaterally
We can't follow through with the plan in earnest as we're not on the right tile. So I'm going with BETRAY.
Here are the actions I plan to send to OB:
Actions for Turn Ten
Action 1 - fire 1 regular missile at Jenuall on Tile A6
Action 2 - fire 1 regular missile at Mommy on Tile A6
Action 3 - fire 1 regular missile at Tomous on Tile A6
Use powerup "Free shot" - aim 1 regular missile at Rocsteady on Tile X
User powerup "Long-range homing missile" - aimed at Rocsteady
This means that, no matter the outcome, at the end of Turn Ten we'll have:
3 Missiles
2 Forcefields
Powerup "Free shot and free forcefield equip"
Worst case scenario: Charlie's don't follow through, we only break Forcefields for Alpha (but we can't miss them) and Rocsteady (with the homer) and we miss him with our non-homer.
Best case scenario: all Alphas and Roc are killed tonight, leaving the three of us to take on Pedz (who will either be on Tile C7 or X) for the endgame.
If neither of you object in the next 30 mins I'll PM OB
Roonmastor 08/02/2024
In Captain Dan we trust (edited)
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
Well I'll just PM now then as I doubt Preezy will even see these until later!
Preezy 08/02/2024
As the silent partner of this organisation you have my full backing to carry out military action as you see fit o7
DanCRobbo 08/02/2024
o7
(That's good, because we did)
If we are indeed only left with Pedz after tonight, we've won. He only has two spaces and we'll still have a free shot. We just need to wait until we've got 4 Missiles and we can fire them all on one turn.
Might be getting ahead of myself here though
(Sneaking in 5 mins phone time)
Roonmastor 08/02/2024
Yeah, let's survive the night first
Roonmastor 08/02/20240:56
Betrayal! Charlie didn't follow through.
All of Alpha remains standing
Good bluff on our location probably saved us.
DanCRobbo 08/02/20240
Yeah, worked out OK
The alliance officially over then
Wonder if Alphas and Charlies now working together - if so if they get our tile right they could take us all out in one go.
Done well to retain our forcefields
Roonmastor 09/02/20247
Roc will want to reset his forcefield
Alpha's will probably want to do the same as they are on a clock so to speak, they need to burn through their stockpile of weapons asap to stay alive.
We need to knock one out asap to limit our risk.
Knowing all the power ups, Roc will probably use the free forcefield/fire power up, as will Alpha if they have it.
So Alpha can still fire 2-3, and Charlie will do 2-3.
Did we hit Jenuall on the nuke turn, and again last night, so we should have killed him right? So they should have used 4 forcefields so far.
We have used 4 too. Our three plus the one Qikz wasted.
We have 3 available to use still.
So, another spread-fire may not kill anyone, but would tell us who got shielded up.
3 shots on Alpha is our best bet to wipe a team.
Charlie are our biggest threat as they can also hammer Alpha at will once we are gone.
:thumbs:
1
But firing three missiles at Charlie is a 50/50 risk, and then we are down to two shots per turn.
:thumbs:

The question really is does anyone else have a bigger arsenal than us?
Roonmastor

DanCRobbo 09/02/20240
He must have re-forcefielded
Roonmastor 09/02/20240
And there is no way to know that
Roonmastor
We have 3 available to use still.
DanCRobbo 09/02/20240
Only 2 currently
Roonmastor 09/02/20241
@44Redshaw has messed up our team PM again
Roonmastor
The question really is does anyone else have a bigger arsenal than us?
DanCRobbo 09/02/20241
Yeah it all depends - both Alpha and Charlie might have fired and missed at any point, we wouldn't know.
Roonmastor
@44Redshaw has messed up our team PM again
DanCRobbo 09/02/20241
Oh yeah?
Roonmastor 09/02/20241
Says we have a free forcefield equip, but we don't have that in our power ups the day before
DanCRobbo 09/02/20242
Oh yeah
It's shot and equip I think
Roonmastor 09/02/20242
I think it should be our free missile and free forcefield equip power up
DanCRobbo 09/02/20242
Everyone knows Alphas are on A6
We know Charlies are on C7
Charlies might know we are on B6
We know Charlies didn't fire at Alpha last night so it's likely they fired at us
But we don't know if they fired at X or B7
If they fired at both they'll know where we are
Obviously we can move
Roonmastor 09/02/20244
I think we should be on 4 missiles. I understood the homing missile to be it's own missile, not one from the stock.
DanCRobbo 09/02/20244
But it's guesswork for aiming - likewise us at them
Roonmastor
I think we should be on 4 missiles. I understood the homing missile to be it's own missile, not one from the stock.
DanCRobbo 09/02/20245
Interesting. @44Redshaw could you clarify?
Also
@44Redshaw are we allowed to fire two Missiles at the same player on the same space?
The issue we have is that both Alphas and Charlies are accumulating weapons at the same rate
Alphas are easier to hit but there are more of them
Charlies are fewer but may move
The benefit we have though is we all have Forcefields
Only other player who might is Pedz
Roonmastor
Says we have a free forcefield equip, but we don't have that in our power ups the day before
44Redshaw 09/02/20243
No I think this is correct. You used the free shot element of it (along with your other free shot), but not the free forcefield
So it becomes just free forcefield
DanCRobbo 09/02/20244
So the homing missile had to be used on a turn?
Roonmastor
I think we should be on 4 missiles. I understood the homing missile to be it's own missile, not one from the stock.
DanCRobbo 09/02/20244
We fired four yesterday though
44Redshaw 09/02/20244
That's right. Although it didn't count as a missile, it did count as an action
DanCRobbo 09/02/20244
OK
So yeah the PM is right
You won't see that from me in the politics thread
44Redshaw 09/02/20245
Takes a horrible amount of time to do those PMs every evening
Trying to make sure they're all correct
Surprisingly difficult
DanCRobbo 09/02/20246
And you wondered why I said after Tribe vs Tribe that I was done being a gamerunner...
44Redshaw 09/02/2024 02
Haha yeah it is a piece of work
Roonmastor 09/02/20244
Ah, got it. Yeah, must be tough to keep on top of it all.
DanCRobbo 09/02/2024 17
What shall we do today?
Preezy 09/02/2024 26
what are our options?
Roonmastor 09/02/2024 2
Bolt to X and see what happens, or pummel Alpha and see how we look next turn.
I'm strongly in favour of standing our ground and firing all three missiles at A6.
@44Redshaw I take it all forcefields are equipped first and then missiles are applied?
44Redshaw 09/02/2024 2
Correct
Roonmastor 09/02/2024 4
So there is no benefit for us pre applying another forcefield, and I think it's better to carpet bomb Alpha than try and second guess who they put shields on.
I propose:
Missile to A6 on Jenuall
Missile to A6 on Tomous
Missile to A6 on Mommy
Cross fingers we don't all die.
There is a small possibility Charlie win this round.
Alpha fire everything at us (3hits and no shields)
Charlie fire everything at us (3 hits and no shields)
We fire everything at Alpha (3 hits)
Alpha die, we die, Charlie win.
Wherever we stand that is likely to happen, but if they know we are on B6 and plan to try and wipe out Alpha (which means they need to be openly communicating to know we could do this) then they are more likely to target B6.
Our rocket on Roc will have helped sow distrust on the basis we fired four times, so Charlie are unlikely to stand still and await their demise, and even with open Comms they may think Alpha backstabbed them.
Scenario 2 then is if Charlie's want to wipe us out, they need to stand on C7 and fire 3 times at us (I don't know if they have any power ups to help them also move remaining). Meaning we could counter fire and hit them three times. They probably have the fire and shield power up as they were on C7. Meaning we could triple fire at Charlies on C7 if we wanted them out.
But they could likely survive and probably have a bigger pot of shields than the rest of us. So I suspect they will play a little more cautiously.
They survive as long as we and Alpha target each other. They need to blitz us after we and Alpha are nearly both dead. If I were Charlie's, I wouldn't want to hasten the downfall of either team beyond the odd bit of chip damage.
With the exception of all our fire this turn could win them the game.
Roonmastor
So there is no benefit for us pre applying another forcefield, and I think it's better to carpet bomb Alpha than try and second guess who they put shields on.
DanCRobbo 09/02/2024 55
We can't stack the Forcefields anyway can we?
Is there merit to moving to X? It virtually guarantees we won't get hit at all this round. We'd lose B7 forever though.
Roonmastor 09/02/2024 1
It does also telegraph our exact position
Standing and firing is a decisive play, but also feels like hubris
Roonmastor
I propose: Missile to A6 on Jenuall Missile to A6 on Tomous Missile to A6 on Mommy Cross fingers we don't all die.
Preezy 09/02/2024 16
I think this is the way to go, blaze of glory trumps all
Roonmastor 09/02/2024 1
Other thoughts I've had is that for us to lose here requires both Alpha and Charlie to say f it and to know where we are. So Alpha and Charlie have to have fired last time on B7 and either communicated that and also agreed to fire everything at us. Alpha will know that if we stand and fire everything at them and they don't block they are out. So they need to not capitulate. They will want to shield up.
Random plan would be to run to X, fire once at Charlie's on C7 (roc) and then seeing what happens if Charlie's are on X. Allows the other teams to waste their stockpiles. But at 2 missiles/turn and 3 moves, its hardly wasting the stockpile, only possible power ups.
I also wonder if at 2 players the moves/turn drops down to 2, which is maybe 50/50 likely to happen.
Preezy
I think this is the way to go, blaze of glory trumps all
DanCRobbo 09/02/2024 29
Happy to go with the majority
Roonmastor 09/02/2024
I think I've come up with enough ideas to be captain hindsight next turn when we don't pick the one that would have put us in the best position
I'm still with Preezy but I'm open to another play.
Do we contact the Alpha's and see if they will target the Charlies at C7 and banzai to X? I don't think that will float with them, but maybe encourages them to blow their load at us?
Hey Alpha's, want to join us on double shots on Charlie's at C7? We go two on Pedz and you go two on Roc?
Then we Movex2 to X, shoot once at (anyone, Roc?)
If Charlie's move then we meet them on X and join/fight/orgy.
Roonmastor 09/02/2024
I've thought about it some more, typed a PM to Charlie's (and not sent it) as no one is allying at this time. Everyone is one-shotable. Charlie's will think we were going to pummel X last time, and they can't verify that we didn't do that as they got hit once and (knowing what we know) we could have hit them with our other 3 and killed them. So they won't trust another plan. But it is the same with working with the Alpha's.
Standing and firing still seems the better play.
Our mistake last turn was going one each on all three Alpha's (given hindsight) we should have gone 2x on one each and one shot each on Jenuall to ensure they dropped in player count. We could have also confirmed follow through on the shots.
If we shoot Alpha again, we can't spread fire, we need to go 2x on one and 1x on another, because they can also shield everyone up so we could fire 3x just to be where we are now.
Goddamn the numerous permutations of this game.
So do we message Charlie's for a reconciliation where they have to shoot twice at Jenuall and we shoot twice at Mommy to prove loyalty prior to joining our two teams? Would that float?
DanCRobbo
@44Redshaw are we allowed to fire two Missiles at the same player on the same space?
DanCRobbo 09/02/2024
Did we get an answer on this?
Roonmastor

44Redshaw 09/02/2024 27
Sorry, yes, you can do this
DanCRobbo 09/02/2024
Ah then yeah we made an error
Roonmastor 09/02/2024
If you are the Alpha team, what do you do? Shield up or fire?
I think I would shield up as I have 3 shields and everyone has 2 missiles. You need to stay in the game another turn and hope attention moves elsewhere.
You might 2x shield and 1x fire in order to hedge your bets and protect your stronger/more active players.
You only firex3 if you've given up.
This is our last round of firex3, then we can only max firex2
We need 9 hits to kill Alpha's if we fire alone and spread our shots. We can do it in 6 if we double up on a person. Both take three rounds.
Assuming they focus on shielding
We insta-kill them today if they yolo
Sorry, if they shield up it's 7 shots (they use their stock today and it's emptied, they get another one tomorrow(?) And apply it to one person.
7 shots is 3 turns (3,2,2) with a lucky YOLO (3,0,0) chance.
6 shots is 3 turns (2,2,2)
Small chance Charlie never hit Jenuall the other day, so slim chance they have another shield but this would mean the Charlie's lost a shield that day as at least one was removed in the report.
Roonmastor 09/02/2024
Tying myself up in knots. Stand to the OG plan. Carpet bomb all three Alpha and stand our ground. If being on two players reduces moves then Charlie's may only have 2 hits so we survive. If it doesn't then spread fire on the Alpha's makes no odds but we may get lucky if they don't fully shield.
If I'm wrong and they hit us six times, I don't have to worry about this tomorrow.
If we are in dire straights tomorrow, shield up and charge X and cross your fingers for that orgy. And if that fails, I prefer a Charlie victory so fire at Alpha.

Or,
The others have given up

I'll confirm that all actions are being taken by all teams. (Otherwise I would have ended it!)
:thumbs:

Roonmastor 10/02/20246
Right, did Alpha run out of forcefields or choose tactically not to use one?
By shielding twice they only fired once, meaning they will have three missiles today.
Alpha has to be the target.
My heart wants to:
Missile to A6 on Mommy
Move 2x to X
If they ran out of shields, we finish Alpha and we can then banzai to X. If Charlie is there we either orgy or fight. The only (higher than normal) risk is we warned Charlie that we might try and co-locate with them at some point, so maybe they are shooting there a lot?
Sets us up nicely next turn to stand on X and triple fire on C7 if Alpha's are dead but has it's own risks.
My head says:
Missile 2x to Mommy
Ignore Action 3
If we guess wrong on Mommy, then we take another two missiles fired at us. Best to just remove that risk for one more missile cost.
If people are missing us, maybe they continue to believe that you use all three moves so they all either have many less missiles than us (well, HAD, we are now hand to mouth) and figure we are on A6 but HAVE to move when the stockpile drops down below 3. Alpha must know we are pummeling them. At some point their thinking must change. Is it today?
Blended option:
Missile to A6 at Mommy X2
Move to B7
Confirms Mommy's death
Allows us to step one closer to a potential orgy
Assumes people think we're now happy to just stand still on A6 or it is just time to move. It also sets us up nicely for a 2 shot orgy next turn. (edited)

Alphas must have only had one forcefield right?
They didn't apply two
Unless Charlie also targeted them.
If we fire twice on Mommy this turn we can't triple fire next turn, we won't have enough Missiles
I don't think there will be much spectacular if we land on X and Charlie are also there
I know we said we think there could be in our PMs to Charlie but I don't realistically believe we'll be allowed to merge, or even fight
I would guess there's a mechanism in the rules that resolves the issue if two teams reached X at the same time AND the Ultimate Powerup was still there - so as to determine which team gets it (e.g. who used fewest moves to get there this turn? Who was closer last turn? Who has more Missiles / surviving players?)
But I doubt we'll get told anything APART FROM possibly learning that Charlie are there also, in our nightly PM update from OB
I'm liking your blended option best at this point
Moving to X means B6 disappears forever, which puts us level with Charlie in all but player numbers. So it'll just become a guessing game stand off.

Roonmastor 10/02/2024 02
Yeah, I counted wrong. So Alpha back to 2 missiles, but potentially with 2 forcefields in the bank unless Charlie shot them. Makes the Head/Blended options yet more appealing.
Charlie are not targeting Alpha.
Happy to lock in blended. Might be us slowing the game down so could lock in early and see if we can finish up this weekend.

Wait what just happened
That was a fast turn
We still haven't been hit!
And the Alphas are out
Can't wait to hear from Qikz
So it's a straight showdown now between us and Rocsteady/Pedz
I have an opinion
We fire nothing this turn
That way we'll have 4 Missiles for next turn
Can fire two Missiles on Roc on C7 and one on Roc on X
Then repeat the next turn
That way even if we guess wrong with the most likely tile, we'll still at the worst break a forcefield
Roonmastor 10/02/20248
Wow, was a rapid turn!
Co-locating is a high risk strategy still. If they place 2 missiles at X and are there, we are on equal footing and then who knows what happens?
@44Redshaw what happens if you fire at an enemy on your own square (eg if we are on X and fire at Charlies on X, is it possible and is there any detriment to us?)
44Redshaw 10/02/20247
You can't fire in your own tiles. If you're on X at the time, I'd consider it to be your tile and therefore not a viable target
Roonmastor 10/02/20249
If you start or end your turn there?
44Redshaw 10/02/20240
End
Roonmastor 10/02/20243
Okay, I'm going to pitch to move to X and fire twice at C7.
If they are on X, they can't shoot us on X, so they can only shoot us on X if they are on C7. And even then it's a 33% chance they target us. So moving to X means their chance to missile us is down at 17.5%.
If we co-locate on X this turn we are guaranteed to have more players so any badness we should be fine with.
Take out Roc as he seems more active. Having two or three missiles makes no odds really if two shots in a turn kills a man, and we can guarantee a hit for us or a miss for them.
DanCRobbo 10/02/20240
Happy with all that, good plan :thumbs:
Roonmastor 10/02/20244
Confirming:
Move to X
Missile at Roc on C7
Missile at Roc on C7

Roon you are cleaning up
Just Pedz now!
Roonmastor 10/02/2024 41
Stand ground, fire at Pedz on C7 twice, orgy on X.
I see no reason to try the make the meet up happen now, but I'll happily welcome Pedz into the celebrations if he turns up. We can be magnanimous like that.
DanCRobbo 10/02/2024 43
You have to stick to X. If Pedz moves to X too, we'll miss him, but he'll also be unable to fire at us.
This could be the last PM. You should send it
Roonmastor 10/02/2024 44

Missile on Pedz at C7
Missile on Pedz at C7
Bravo team orgy on X - all welcome
44Redshaw 10/02/2024 00
Congratulations Team Bravo
:clap:
DanCRobbo 10/02/2024 01
Oh yeah!
44Redshaw 10/02/2024 01
Have to say, that was some seriously impressive strategising

Great work team! It all came together pretty flawlessly, which I don't think any of us expected. Apologies for my stream of consciousness in this chat, so thanks for putting up with that (and that random call that one time)
44Redshaw 10/02/2024 07
I don't know how much luck was involved along the way. How many turns in a row you somehow dodged Alpha and Charlie coordinated attacks against you! But I'm sure I saw mention that Dan had been purposely leading them astray via PM? Definitely worth bragging about that

If you're posting chats in the thread, happy for this one to be posted. Would be very interesting to read what Alpha and Charlie were thinking, both in the spy phase and the missile phase
44Redshaw 10/02/20245
I think they have to be posted don't they. The early days were truly wild. I don't even have access to a huge amount of what I know was going on behind the scenes
Roonmastor 10/02/20249
Do it. Might not translate perfectly with reactions, replies and GIFs not working great on a copy/paste. I'm partially writing this to point that out on GRcade when they see this.

Man, I probably talked about orgies a bit too much in hindsight
DanCRobbo 10/02/20241
The reason the Charlies betrayed us on Turn Ten (when we were going to wipe out the Alphas) is my fault!
I sent our actions PM to Roc not Roon!

I also sent it to Preezy who I presume didn't notice either!
Roonmastor 10/02/20242
Seriously laughing my arse off here
DanCRobbo 10/02/20242
So Roc will have known we were firing a long range missile at us
Roonmastor 10/02/20242
Is that why I had a deleted PM from Roc?
DanCRobbo 10/02/20242
From that point on they'd have known our position though
So how did they not hit us???
Or did they interpret it as a bluff???
Roonmastor 10/02/20243
Wow just wow
Roonmastor
Is that why I had a deleted PM from Roc?
DanCRobbo 10/02/20243
Oh I forgot about this, I had one too!
Haha
I'm so sorry
And so so relieved
This isn't the first time I've sent to the wrong person
Roonmastor 10/02/20243
I'm glad we won, I'd have been gutted if we lost on that. I bet that made you double your efforts too
