Ok, I must not understand how this movement works in this game. Isgrimnur, if I move three spaces do you include the current space I am in as the first move, or the space I am going to as the first move?

The ramp costs you one of your movement points when moving up it.

In your case (Phase 2, I believe), you were down in the canyon, meaning that you have to get up the ramp, which takes two squares of movement.

Zoom Bot kicks it up a level - literally, bleeding off a quare on the ramp to see what's going on in the world above.

So for that move, it was one to start up the ramp, the second to get you to the double wrench, and the thrid to move past it. If it had been a flat stretch, you would have made it to the conveyor belt (which is what I am assuming the plan was...?).

Scoop20906 · Post by **Scoop20906** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 3:07 pm

Two squares of movement for the ramps.

Its my fault for not really paying enough attention to the rulez. Still, I'm so far out of this game...

Isgrimnur, if you don't mind, I'd really like to drop out of this game. Could you just stick Zoom bot into random mode? Sorry.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 4:07 pm

No worries, I'll just pull him from the match.

sorry i didn't submit a turn. was sick for a while and was used to the long turn turnover from the holidays.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Fri Jan 22, 2010 1:07 am

Due to work stress, game will be placed on hiatus until February.

srdaniel · Post by **srdaniel** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:35 pm

Do you want someone to take it over? They could use Shinjin's new program to test it out...

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:25 am

That would only work if someone not already playing the game wanted to moderate.

Take it easy Isgrimnur.

Why is that? Moral reasons only?

If you knew what was dealt to your opponents, you could reasonably expect to screw them up. There are times when people get all rotates. Nothing says "sitting duck" like knowing that about your opponent.

That being said, I'll have the cards out shortly for a next week run. I got a bit of reprieve at work, so things might actually be doable.

We'll be here on your schedule. Take your time and keep life running smooth before keeping the game running smooth (plus, making Shinjin's game a bit more rocky would be welcome

).

Absolutely no rush on getting turns out, take all the time you need. I was just thinking that theoretically the GM could deal out the cards face down, program his turn, then deal email out the other cards.

However the trust issue would still be looming around, but....just a thought, I wasn't trying to push.

If you guys really want to proceed and everything I'd need was online, I could help out processing the turns.

I can't believe you are all still at it. I guess if Spirit can last 6 years, you guys can...

Decisions pending for Shinjin and srdaniel.

Also, I will be in Atlanta for the duration of next week, so there will be another delay. in the next turn.

Much as I would love Twonky to be dead, doesn't his back-up leave him on the edge of the board rather than off of it?

Converter chit:

When your robot executes its next movement card, remove an energy counter and move 1 extra square.

That is unbelievably ... awesome. I love this game!

(I'll cast aside the Frog Legs and come in with 2 damage.)

That ought to make it a very interesting three horse race for the finish.

I will endeavor to get Turn 27 finalized and a new set of cards for turn 28 out tomorrow night.

Apologies again for the delay.

Turns out the forum ate the Turn 28 instructions for the last player. Whoops. Hand has been sent out for review.

Hands are in, will run Thursday.
