Wait, did anyone else see little people during the last phase? I saw a little red man on the mast and made that public knowledge, did anyone see a blue woman. ##call gm what color is the playdipian flag?

I did not see anyone particular.

((The moon is often referred to as blue, so we have a blue woman in our midst.))

I was thinking that, I was the one that found her too...

Could the Playdipians be his enemies? They did emerge from the forest to greet us and now you are dealing with them? Maybe Ike needs to drink whatever he's meant to drink...

##Playdipian Flag is a tri-color of red black and white.

## gm what about the WebDipian flag

#The webdipian flag is a white cross overplayed on a red background with a blue border surrounding the cross and a crown set prominently in the upper left quadrant.

Does this puzzle need to be done within the next few hours?

Some things we need to do:
1. Find the witch
2. Elect a governor
3. Decide on items to request from the king
4. Pick our poison (nain rouge vials)
5. Decide if we are going to let me speak with the playdipians
Prop 7.1 Work 15 farms (150/547)
Prop 7.1.1 Place extra food in silos
Prop 7.2 Mine in all 3 mines (240/547)
Prop 7.3 exploration party 1 head south to S20(250/547)
(Exploration party 2 is back I think?)
Prop 7.4 Exploration party 3 heads north to U15 (260/547)
Prop 7.5 Send an exploration party (#4) to U22 (270/547)
Prop 7.6 Build a silo in U17 (290/547) (150W 50I) Killian oversees
Prop 7.7 Assign 167 colonists to the lumber mill (457/547)
Prop 7.8 Allow me and the Lieutenant to train 75 more soldiers (532/547)
Prop 7.9 Maturity Leave (up to 15) (547/547)
Prop 7.10 Assign 30 Slaves to Build a wall connected to the previous one (in U19/20) between T19 and T20 and Build a wall between U16 and U17 (30/70) (750W 500I)
Prop 7.11 Assign 40 slaves to build 4 farms in U17 (40/70) (950w 100st 50I)
Prop 7.12 Assign 15 soldiers to watch the wall buildings and 20 soldiers to watch the farm building

##Vote Yes on Prop 7.1 - 7.12

In regards to the Witch, I am now confident that Melinda Harris is the witch. I have been watching her for the last phase and the more closely I look the more I am convinced that it is her.

I am fine with you speaking to the Polydipians, and with Bo remaining as Governor for another term if no one else steps forward.

As for the Vials, I believe ONLY the Blue vial should be drunk. To drink the Red Vial would be to become the Nain Rouge, and the Green would be to drink his defeated enemies.

I think we should keep at least 100 soldiers in reserve right now in case of a conflict, not that I'm hoping for one. I'm also hoping to write up some proposals shortly.

I'm not sure about this puzzle stuff. Frankly, I'm terrible at it. I trust the judgment of the rest of the Council.

##GM - could we get an updated resource usage and acquisition spreadsheet? Also, is there a link to a page that shows how much certain things cost? I can't find it.

My props as they are now leave 115 in reserve Bo, link is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iwpUgQ_4Dg-rB3vEeesIZIbOWmNl0J0_39dK0X2U3yw/edit

Thanks, Ike. There was another sheet that actually showed building costs for everything we could possibly build and I can't find it.

##VOTE YEA 7.1-7.12, but I’m curious what 7.9 actually does/is.

##PROP 7.13 - allow Cllr Ike to approach and speak to Sir Raleigh, with the support of 20 soldiers. Pursue trade ideas with the Playdipians and attempt to diffuse any conflict.

##PROP 7.14 - activate the remaining (95, if 7.12 and 7.13 both pass) soldiers and have them on standby in case of a confrontation, and preemptively direct our cannons in the direction of the Playdipians.

##PROP 7.15 - display 10 flags of the King throughout our village.

##PROP 7.16 - put Melinda Harris on trial. Allow her to testify. Allow Councilors and Specialists to weigh in on the trial, and allow Council to act as a jury.

##PROP 7.17 - request Cllr Cosmo man the Chemistry Lab (if I understand correctly, one of us needs to run it in order to make stuff).

(I’m fine with whoever running this, just need a name.)

##PROP 7.18 - apply acid in mines in order to increase gold yield.

##PROP 7.19 - request the following items from the King:

1.) wood
2.) sheep
3.) newspapers/books
4.) horses for transport/exploration
5.) a rowboat
6.) weapons, armor, etc for our soldiers
7.) webDipian medallions and medals for display

Yes and yes to bos questions I am at work. If anyone else hs the building cost doc please share. Also update on useage as in for this phase yes? I can totally do that when I get off tonight. Remember I extended the phase.

Just so that the numbers on the resource guide are current.

I will man the Chem Lab

OhSe ends in 11 hours.

Hopefully people will come online and vote? We haven't even done a resource allocation yet.

1-12 are passed I believe. ##vote yea on props 13-16 and 19. I didn't think we had a chem lab

I think Claesar should drink either the blue vial or the blue and red vials together

##Vote Yea on 7.13-7.19

All Players,
As unfortunate as it may seem I am announcing the end of the webDip sim #3. Unfortunately we have too little interest and soon some of you will be dropping off for IRL reasons as you’ve told me. It has been a pleasure to serve you as the GM and you have all been great sports. Hopefully, we can revisit this concept when there is less saturation of forum games and a more people available for play. In the meantime feel free to send me ideas and suggestions for the next sim. If you have any questions regarding storyline conclusions please feel free to ask. If you have any questions about how the game was run feel free to ask.

Again, I apologize that I failed to retain players or spark new interest. I look forward to trying this again when the environment is right. (Probably on the new forum)

I really don’t know how to end a message like this aside from ; I’m sorry.

Hey CB, thanks for letting us know and sorry for not being as present as I'd have liked to have been. I think your decision probably makes sense in the long run. Let me know next time you want to get one of these going and I'll see if I can make it work. In hindsight, trying to do it alongside my first Mafia was probably a mistake...

:( it was great while it lasted, thanks for running this CB!

No problem guys you all did well in theory I built this for a group of around 8-10 which would significantly reduce the needed input from all of you in order to play. Simply too many other forum games right now and bad timing with most colleges having started their fall semesters right at game start.

Answer to some storyline questions:
Red vial- represents the Nain rouge, would offend the Nain rouge as you compare yourself to him.
Blue vial- represents his wife, your colony would face a major disaster very phase for 2 years. Then the Nain rouge would let you go.
Green vial- represents his enemies, the Nain rouge would declare war on you and your colony.

The best answer was blue. However he is evil so nothing is perfect.

A. Dont make a wincon which actively will discourage participation as in murdering the other players. The game is cooperative. No point in forcing players to kill each other - that being said if theres a valid reason theres absolutely cause occasionally to kill fellow players.

B. Players shouldnt be killing each other simply because someone talks to much. Bo killed me and literally told me its because I post too often. Had nothing to do with mypolicies nor his wincon..in fact his wincon was to let the colony lose. Stupid-terrible wincon.

C. There were some great mechanics accomplishments here, there were some wonderfully written storylines.

Tldr: players should be playing their characters - not acting out personal grudges on other players. My participation was improving the game - not harming it.

My wincon was build a plantation and make sure slavery was never abolished
