The Goblins Fan Forum

Hello Everybody.

With the allowance of LooksAndSmiles I finally decided to finally start my own Minesweeper universe. I had this idea for a long time, but he beat me to it. I thought "two games at the same time might not be a good idea, also he was the one who implemented the idea first" but he encouraged me lately to do it, so here it is!

OPERATION: SPACE ODYSSEY
Yes, you really are going to space! It was hard to construct helmets you can fit those large goblin ears in, but finally it was done. Praise your engineers!

The rules are loosely based on his rules in this part.
Movement/Actions: Turn order and battle rules: Round 3 - Mission 1: Asteroid Slalom

Your commander wanted to sneak into the enemy territory through an asteroid field, but after three scout ships exploded (I2, J7, E10), he finally understood that this might not have been the best idea in his long career. So he send you, the anti mine squad, to remove the danger to the fleet and cleanse the asteroid field of mines so the fleet can pass it. Be careful, the shipwrecks are not safe, the mines that destroyed them could have been replaced in the meantime. The enemy is know to have access to stealth field technology.

Come on, sign up! I would be disapointed if you would not join!

Ah well... lets do this... always wanted to play in a minesweeper... always felt there was to many players before I got to sign up

Heh, that is straight up bullying me to join. I will sign up on Monday if you don't get sufficient people. (I see an 8 player limit, so yeah.)
I think you will get enough, though.

Hmm.. I guess I better hurry or else there won't be any good colors left.

And I have a question: where exactly do characters respawn? On the same tile they died? On the starting tile?

Hi. Thanks for the question. It is Neither nor. Like in Looks game, he can pick the tile he wants to be deployed to if there is neither another player there, already moving to it and if there is no beacon on it.

I wanted to start on monday, let's hope we find a few more players.

Good to know, though why the limitation on no beacon in the spawn tile?

they should be put on mines, so going there would be like willingly exploding yourself while destroying the efforts of another player at the same time. But if you want to have that freedome I will remove the rule. A beacon placed on a wrong spot still can be removed from any adjacent square.

You said it yourself, that a beacon is just a warning. If anyone wants to spawn on one, they probably know what they are doing.

We got 4 players so far and LooksAndSmiles with a maybe. Waiting for 3-4 more players.

I considered joining, but what of the others, like Aegis and Zigit, who expressed an interest in the Minesweeper game already going on, but arriving too late? You might send them a pm if they haven't joined yet.

Thanks, I pmed them. Hope we get to 8 today.

I finished your avatars and added them to the character tabs. Hope you like their tiny spacesuits. I find them very adorable.
Hope we find 3 more so we can start soon.

Still 3 spots left!

I really hoped I would get more people excited about joining. Well, then we will start with 5 and see if somebody wants to join later.

Starshine goes to B1.

(I move to H3)

Lasers are for fighting only. To check for mines, you have to enter a square, which will trigger a mine if present.
All you got right now are the sensors telling you how many mines are in adjacent tiles.

You might get other equipment later , but for now the starter set is all you have.
