Coalition I : The Playtest

[Claesar]

Deadline for creating coalitions has passed, so I joined Damo's Popular group. I want to be like the cool kids.

So that appears to be three of us? A good number. Is that the only Popular?

[Squigs44]

Yes, deadline for coalition creation passed. Sorry I didn't post about that, Webdip was blocked on the wifi where I was at.

Points will be coming your way.

[yavuzovic]

Join us join us, we will have good work if we find one more member.

##CALL GM,
Can we change the target after we mark them with "##STEAL [player]" command?
And
Can the thief leader steal from a member of the thief coalition in case someone I don't want joins it?

I don't mean you foodcoats, I just thought someone may join this for free protection + golds.

Steal commands are just like any command, they can not be changed once issued.

A player cannot be part of a coalition that tries to steal from them and will be issued 0 points if the coalition leader of the coalition they join targets them.

A player cannot be part of a coalition that tries to steal from them and will be issued 0 points if the coalition leader of the coalition they join targets them.

Doesn't they lose points?

If the steal is successful they lose points. I just meant that they wouldn't gain any points from the coalition itself.

[yavuzovic]

I feel like someone is lying to me. If you're interested in gaining some golds, we're still good with new recruits.

If I understood Damo correctly, we're already with 4. Yes, it's the only Popular gathering so guaranteed to be the largest.

[damo666]

Want 7 points guaranteed? Guard me.

[damo666]

Only 1 popular, 1 thief, no hijack.
For those undecided guard me. More points than joining popular or successful thief. Screw Yav. Ho ho ho.

[yavuzovic]

We wanted 6 points from you and you're trying to waste 14 points - you need two bodyguards to be protected. While we're not sure to attack you. I still call people to join us. damo is probably lying. Nobody would accept this deal

[yavuzovic]

Actually being stolen is better than your offer.

The 7 points that the bodyguard earns are not paid by the person they protect.

The “Thief” Coalition: This coalition has a thief leader, and anyone can join it. Before the end of the phase, the thief leader must PM the GM ##Steal [player]. You cannot target yourself. If there are at least three members in the thief coalition, the theft is a success (barring a bodyguard coalition). If the target is a leader of a coalition, that player loses 8 points, and each member in this coalition gains 6 points. If that player is not a leader of a coalition, that player loses 4 points instead. However, if multiple thief coalitions target the same player and have at least three members, none of the thefts are successful.

##CALL GM:

If the Thief coalition targets a player who is not leading a coalition, do the thieves gain any points?

[Claesar]

. If the target is a leader of a coalition, that player loses 8 points, and each member in this coalition gains 6 points. If that player is not a leader of a coalition, that player loses 4 points instead.

##CallGM

So, if the target is not a leader, do the thieves gain 4, 2 or 0 points?

Thieves still gain 6 points. The math doesn't even come close to adding up, but it's the only way I could think to balance the coalition so that it's worth it for the thieves without being game breaking for the target.

To be clear, each member of the thief coalition gets 6 points.

[yavuzovic]

Ahh I see the bodyguards aren't paid by damo, then it's even easier for us. They can gain the same if they really want. I'm not that stingy.

Bodyguards will only gain points if they target the same player as you.
