[Remus West]

I can't remember my password for handtracker (it is written down at home) so unless there is a way to recover it (I didn't see one) I won't be able to move until Sunday. Help?

[Jow]

There's nothing built-in, but lemme email the site admin and see if he'd be willing to help me/you out by resetting it or something.

[Jow]

He got back with me already - PM sent with the password.

What? You can have him back after I'm done with him. That is if the other guys don't kill him first.

You are correct.

I'd be fine with backing up to that point in the game if you wanted. I don't see much point to it though as I doubt either of us have a very good shot at winning. Mostly trying to keep others from doing so now. Ruin as many places as possible so we all lose.

Yeah, its really not a big deal. Im so far out of this its kind of moot.

[Jow]

I'll say this: don't overlook ruination VP. There are a whole mess of regions that are really close to ruination and several going at once is a ton of points. Lot can happen in one turn and if Slaanesh doesn't get his dial tick this turn...

If I don't get my dial click this turn, you can pretty much hand the game to Khorne. He already has a ton of points and he is going to get a ton more this turn. He is scary.

[Jow]

except you get another turn after that where you can still win by dial. Khorne probably won't be getting ruination spoils this turn so that means he'd have to kill 7 figures to hit 50; his dice would have to be off the charts for that to happen.

[Remus West]

Do dial ticks come before or after ruination (in other words, do we have time to destroy the whole world before anyone could win if it goes to next round)?

[Jow]

dial ticks will be counted before a check for endgame is made (which includes checking if ruined regions >= 5), yeah.

[Remus West]

dial ticks will be counted before a check for endgame is made (which includes checking if ruined regions >= 5), yeah.

But winning via Dial Ticks is part of checking for endgame I assume as it ends the game. So what order is that check done in?

[Isgrimnur]

Check for Game End
If any of the following four conditions are true, the game ends:
1. The game ends if one or more players’ Threat dials have reached their “Victory” dial instruction.
2. The game ends if one or more players have scored 50 or more victory points.
3. The game ends if five regions have been ruined.
4. The game ends if the Old World card deck is empty.

Each condition, and how the winner is determined for each, is described below.

Note that the four conditions are checked in order, and the game ends immediately when one of them is true.

phooey. So, we need to plot to ruin 3 areas this round if possible while still keeping bb2112 from getting a dial tick.

[Jow]

keep in mind, having the game end with 5 ruinations doesn't mean all players lose. At that point, the player with the most VP wins (assuming no one wins by dial).

Bah. You suck. I wanted it to be nobody wins. At least that gave me something to shoot for. Now I feel like I should have stayed out of the fight and let Khorne keep bb2112 from winning or not on his own.

[Jow]

If nobody wins by the end of the 7th turn, THEN the Old World wins and you all suck equally. Not likely that's gonna happen with Slaanesh one tick away, but crazier things have happened.

[Jow]

Just a reminder as it's been nearly five days since the last turn: Horned Rat, you're up.

[rshetts2]

sorry lost track and didnt realize it was my turn.

Place a cultist in Kislev power 2/6

[Jow]

Crap - hold the phone. I went to process all your turns and realized Slaanesh played a Chaos card into a ruined region, which can't be done. For the record, here's the rules blurb on what can and can't be done with ruined regions:

When a region is ruined (i.e., when a ruined region card
is found there, either faceup or facedown), the following
rules affect that region:

• New Chaos cards cannot be played to that region.
• New Old World tokens cannot be placed in that
region (although existing Old World tokens are not
necessarily removed at the time of ruination).
• During the corruption phase, no victory points are
scored for dominating that region (i.e., domination is
not checked for that region).
• During the corruption phase, no corruption tokens
are placed in that region.

All other normal rules for regions remain in effect for
ruined regions. Battle still occurs in a ruined region
each round, such a region is still adjacenct to other
regions, it still occupies the same slot in the standard
region order, and so on.

So, Slaanesh needs to choose another action and we need to give Horned Rat a chance to rethink his turn based on that updated action.

[bb2112]

Revised:

Slaneesh: Play Corrupt from Within in Bretonnia and move the Noble token to The Border Princes

Power: 0 of 6

Sorry.
