I'm keeping track of the extra LP for commandeering, but I'll give it out when the chapter is finished, it is easier that way. You see it is not a flat "1 command - 1 LP", so it wouldn't be trivial posting it every time, or give appropriate reasons for the amount. Don't worry, you are hoarding plenty.

Yes, you stop gaining new ones once they post "on time", but since they miss out sporadically you then gain again. Also there are other factors that might give LP secretly, so... yeah. Just wait patiently.

Turn 11

Oops attempts to save Tries, which normally wouldn't work from a corner, but it turns out to be not an event of saving at all! Oops recieves no XP, but is now a proud owner of [Throwing Net], which remains in her active inventory. She is still delirious from the poison.
Tries-and-Dies promptly moves to B5. (And he is still sick.)
Flags Mines would gladly accept Tries' call, but he never stated where he would go to do so. Since Tries is no longer in trouble, Flags decides he stays where he is, as there aren't much left to do where the others are, anyway.
Goska Bluey jumps to B3.

MINI MAP 1: Forest In Peace

KABOOM (AWOL)

Blitz Craig walks over to B1. Dum-de-dum.
Oh See That Shiny moves to D1, uncovering a "1". He also learns why is this map called the road of the forgotten. It is actually the road of the forgotten warrior, whose body lied beneath that tile. Well, it turns out for some dark, tainted reason, he became a revenant! It awakes with an unworldly screech, stunning the players who have yet to act. It also wakes a skeleton bowman on F6! +1XP

Finds Mines is stunned, and cannot act.
No-Legs is stunned, and cannot act. The pygmy on her head keeps gnawing, but only manages to damage her well kept friseur! That ungodly beast!

MINI MAP 2: The Road of the Forgotten

Players:
Blitz Craig
Oh See That Shiny
No-Legs
Finds Mines

White Metal (white) pulls out Stumbles around, as his last act. +3XP

MINI MAP 3: Marshland Marches

COMPLETED

Evaluation:
Goska Bluey gains 4 coins, while Flags Fuses and Stumbles around gains 8 coins each for their correct flags. The latter two are also able to visit the shop if they wish since they are out of the game for this chapter.

Goska Bluey gains 3 LP for successfully finishing the map.

Skill information unlocked

► Show Spoiler

Run (Spelunky): The player is able to move through as many adjacent tiles as his movement points + this skill's level. Running stops if all movement (or shorter specified distance) is used up, or the player falls into a trap, steps into a mine, or otherwise inhibited in their movement. Each unexplored tile passed through via this skill will be explored and evaluated accordingly. The player cannot run back and forth between the same tiles in the same turn.
Push (Evil): The player is able to move a target (both enemy or player) on an adjacent tile in the direction pointing away. If this action results in any kind of exploration, then the pushing player recieves the XP! WARNING: pushing fellow players counts as an evil act and is readily punishable. Pushing fails if the tile where the target is pushed towards is occupied or doesn't exist, or if the target is stronger or larger than the pusher.
Answer the Call - Level 2: The player is able to teleport any unoccupied tile next to another player who requests their assistance on the same map.
Treasure! (Spelunky): Upon first spawning of the map, the player will recieve a pm, which will contain a very vague information about the whereabouts of 1 treasure item, if there is any buried on the map. Higher levels of this skill give more exact details.

Item information unlocked

► Show Spoiler

Frying Pan: deals 1 damage to enemies. Can trigger mines, but is destroyed in the process.
Boots: When landing on a mine, boots propel the player in the direction identical to the directon in which they come moved, having 50% chance of destroying in the process. In case of spawning or teleporting (or other form of directionless movement), the player isn't moved further anywhere, though they will still avoid the explosion.
Leather Jacket: Prevents 1 physical damage from attacks.

Achievements

► Show Spoiler

Finds Mines: "It's a Trap!", for luring a monster into a mine.
Goska Bluey: "Wanna Be F(r)iends?", for committing the first evil act.

Finds Mines is now the longest record holder of not dying: 1 Level and 13 XP.

[Davecom3]

Wish I'd noticed that he was heading for the squares I was after. Oh, well. left to C3.

[Theis2]

Shiny will shout at the forgotten warrior and if possible hit him as well

[Arch Lich Burns]

finds whips pigmy and picks up her flag.

[BeanDip]

Oops moves back to E4

[WearsHats]

Oh. For some reason I thought I could forgo specifying a square. I originally said C6 and then, deciding to be nice, took it back out. Oh well.

C2.

[Zigit]

AHHHHH! Run away! No, seriously, I know I'm out of range right now, but can I shoot diagonally?

Since this pygmy is more annoying than anything, No-Legs is moving to c4.

[Jibjib]

Craig moves to C1, hoping he doesn't get uncroaked.

[Davecom3]

Zigit, I think that pygmy is keeping you from shooting.

[LooksAndSmiles]

Zigit, I think that pygmy is keeping you from shooting.

Nope, it is keeping her from jumping (as she is heavier than expected), and it cannot be shot (it is too near). It might try to pry the arrow out of No-Leg's hand if she tries to shoot something else, but don't take it for granted. Maybe it just wants a hug.

EDIT:

Run away! No, seriously, I know I'm out of range right now, but can I shoot diagonally?

In the resources thread, at the items, there is a spoilered part where I sum up the item information you guys unlock each round. (The current round / chapter is not there). Quoting from there:

Bow: Can shoot in any straight direction to 3 movement distance away. Damage depends on the arrows used. Arrows may break upon impact. Requires clear line of sight to the target, fellow players do not count as obstacle.

This means that yes, you can shoot straight diagonally, but the arrow will travel only 1 tile, as the next tile is 4 movement distance away. You can shoot "not quite diagonally" too (at a tile at "L shape" just like the knight moving in chess). Shooting even further requires a better bow or more strength.


EDIT 2:
After a quick glance through the achievements I realized I forgot to give out the following ones:

Goska Bluey: "We Need No Question Marks", for finding a quest item.

(This would have been a spoiler during the previous game and I forgot to reward it once the round finished.)

Oops: "Scavenger", for obtaining a non-treasure map item.

[gamecreator]

Tries goes to B6.

[Davecom3]

I didn't specify spawning with any items, but if Goska still spawned with her whip and Y-stick, she will attempt to dowse with her Y-stick after jumping to D3. If not, you may want to edit the items shown to be in her possession.

Also, BeanDip, my advice for next turn would be for you to go to E5 even though it may be the slightly more likely spot to be a bomb.

[gamecreator]

If you don't say what you want to spawn with, then you will spawn with previous items.

Holiday Instructions:

► Show Spoiler

Just to let you know guys, I'm off on holiday for two weeks tomorrow, so could you please vote for Craig? Use him as cannon fodder if you like Provided my flags are correct and I have enough, at the end of the round I'd like to buy A Goblin Sword, Goblin Shield and Leather Jacket.

[Davecom3]

As the Leader, I can simply give your character commands as necessary.

[Nerre]

I will be gone most of september, so if a new turn starts just put me on the waiting list even if I could get in directly (in case you dice).

[Nerre]

Starting from tomorrow (Wednesday) evening I will be gone for 3 weeks, holidays. I will be back on the 29th or 30th. In case the new game starts before that, put Flags on the waiting list.

[GathersIngredients]

Is there any reason why there hasn't been any progress in this game for about 3 weeks? At this rate we'll never get to the big, joint map, where Stumbles can participate again...

[Davecom3]

Not sure if this is still the reason, but Looks had mentioned connection problems in his area in the Random Chat thread a while back. And he last visited on the 3rd.

Hi people!

Looks like the owner of the house I rent (landlord?) forgot to pay the internet bill and now I'm without internet at home. Unfortunately I don't have a key to the post box so I can't pay the cheque myself (although I'm not sure it arrives on a cheque or it is paid somehow else)... I'm trying to get something done, but since the owner lives somewhere else this might take a while.

Unfortunately I can't update the games from my workplace (where I currently am), so please expect some more delays.

Happy September, everyone!

Good (Better) News!

Turned out that the bill is OK, it's just the ISP doing hiccups lately, but should be resolved soon. Expect updates accordingly.
(Yeah I know I keep saying that. )

Hold on, Beans!

[Zigit]

Well, if anything is going to happen, just letting you guys know that it's unlikely that I will have time to check this game with all the last minute wedding prep going on here.
