MyrMen: Final Action!

[ThroughTheWell]

I'd like more info about some of the hobbies: analyst, builder, and inventor. How is analyst different from inventor? How will inventor actualy work? What does 'placing engineering items' mean or do?

A) 6 (M0rt, Bob, kida, Badge, WearsHats, nikohl) (I'd move back to the right and start digging there)
B) 1 (M0rt)
C) 1 TTW
D) 1 TTW

For C, hold breath first and reach down quick. Then, hope that it is a gas mask, which if it is, put it on.
For D, can we go up instead?

[gamecreator]

New B is even better.

TTW, You better ask it in OOC thread.

Creating update.

[LAYF]

IÔÇÖm currently composing a complete rules set... Will post it in the OOC when its ready...

The hole 1 has made is just wide enough to get down in, but not to wide to pass.

Player characters are now in game. Players... you control your own actions, you can find your characters down in the ÔÇ£Player charactersÔÇØ section. To make things easier, you only gain one number and a color, instead of a Letter and color. Of course you also have a name... but that wonÔÇÖt be on the map.
About the blue prints... please go to the OOC thread and we can find out what you have/wants....

Science knowledge have been added.
1St year, 2nd month (month of the flood) 1st Week

A and C succeed.

1 - ÔÇ£Hmm.. that... thing!... out there looks interesting
But I have to be careful when getting it... letÔÇÖs see... But I also need to dig and see if I can find any other resources... Will do the digging first..

Phew.... that was hard work.. but hay look, I found a nice sized building stone... just ready to carve out...

Now.. back to the item...

Holding my breath and closing my eyes, feeling my way with my hands... hmm... ehm... hmm.... AUCH.... ah... there it was... uh.. I feel... I feel sick...ÔÇØ 1 manages to get the thing out of the gas, but when he gets to the other side, he begins to throw up, this makes him fail to get back to the mother machine. He has -%20 chance to succeed in actions until cured. This gave 1 Science point, and also opened up for Science knowledge

5 MyrMen enters the cave. Mint, D, Mike, N and an unnamed Master MyrMen appears by teleportation, great, finely we can begin to expand,each of the MyrMen has water and food with them for 5 weeks.. good good... two of the MyrMen carries blueprints... Wonder what those are.

Possible actions -Chose up to 3
A- Get 1 to dig a tunnel down (requires shovel or pick axe) or sideways(requires pick axe) (Define where, only within same frame as 1)
B- Get 1 to go back to the mother machine.
C- Get 1 to risk the gas, and explore deeper into the cave.
D- Get 1 to get green food from the pound.
E- Get 1 to get water from the pound.

5 aka T takes a pick and rope, ties the rope to the pick, and throws the pick up the tunnel, then pulls on it gently to see if it will grab hold like a grappling hook. If it does, climb up.

Oh.. one thing... if blueprints are delivered to a mother machine. Item blueprints will do that that machine can build that item. While Engineering blueprints will do so ALL players MyrMen can build that item.

T ÔÇ£5ÔÇØ have delivered his Free standing ladder blueprint to the mother machine when he picke up the pick axe and rope (MyrMen can only carry 2 items at once)

1 - ÔÇ£Oh... my head... I feel so sick... oh.... au au au.... Must... gather... food....ÔÇØ 1 manages to gather 6 green food from 2 pixels, he almost drowns as the water rises

Mint ÔÇ£1ÔÇØ Walks over by the pond and starts to think how to build a bridge.. He is sure it must be some kind of engineering item, and could properly be done by using stones and/or iron... Hmm... damn... he canÔÇÖt figure it out... maybe if one of the inventors helps him!

T ÔÇ£5ÔÇØ Takes a pick axe and a rope by the mother machine, and also leaves his Blue print MyrMen player characters can now build Free standing ladders then he walks over where the cave splits, throws his pick axe up, tied to the rope, when he finds that its secured, he climbs it... And what a luck, his MyrMen senses tells him that there are MyrMen Worker eggs near by... gota find those... wonder if they are guarded? He can also hear the sound of water dripping.

N ÔÇ£4ÔÇØ dives to the bottom of the pond--- lots of water her... this round, she donÔÇÖt feel the need to drink...

D ÔÇ£2ÔÇØ retrieves the last pick axe from the mother machine, then starts to dismantle it.. its fairly simple, and he soon learns how it is made.. D Receives one pick axe blueprint, 1 pick axe is destroyed in the process

Mike ÔÇ£3ÔÇØ takes a look at the weird thing he found... hmm... itÔÇÖs a bit complicated.. but... but he is sure itÔÇÖs some kind of pressure activated valve...

2 new MyrMen enters the cave. Zik and Bob, two Master MyrMen appears by teleportation, each of the two MyrMen has water and food with them for 5 weeks.. all good.

LAYF, I know you have disgraphia, so this is just to help and not a complaint. It is pond, not pound. And, technicaly, you probably want to say 4/5 to a character not from a character, when the player is only 1 away.

Thanks for letting the pick = grappling hook idea work!

Until a freestanding ladder gets built at 'my' tunnel, try to make certain that the pick is secure. Add rocks to it or swing it to make a good groove for it. Then, go up the tunnle and examine the new pond and drip.
Edit: aid the group working on a bridge. Maybe suggest the arch as my contribution.

If someone wants to build the freestanding ladder either at this tunnle or at the copper vein, I agree (although I might be about to find a way to mine 'down' to the copper easier. So maybe wait on this one.). Also if someone wants to build another pick, I agree. If someone wants to analyze rope to turn it into a blueprint, I agree. And if someone wants to mine our stone vein, I also think that is a good idea (might make that pit a bit wider at the same time). We may need more stone for ladders.

I suggest that maybe a diver consider adding the pressure valve to the crack that the gas is coming out of. I hesitate to risk "1" on it.

Can a farmer, or player, figure out how to grow the green food so that we don't use it all up? Or even transfer some from the new pond to the lower pond in such a way that it will grow there?

I vote for E.
Edit: since I changed my action, I'll add a new post also voting for B.

[M0rtimer]

Alright, I'll be a mineral miner! You can call me 8-1. Because goddamn you Bob stealing my lucky number.

A)
B) 1 (M0rtimer)
C)
D)
E) 2 (TTW, M0rtimer)
F) 1 (M0rtimer) (towards water)

Assuming I can already act next turn, 8-1 will get to mining that building stone.

[ThroughTheWell]

We may need either another pick and rope to get to the top left, or a bridge or freestanding ladder up here.

[gamecreator]

Whoever is scientist, look at the valve. I'm sure we can get more info on it. And we need a farmer.

Mike goes and helps Mint to figure out how to build a bridge. If no one else helps, he will use 1 SA for it. On the way there he leaves his blueprint beside the mother machine.
