Goblin Diggers - Turn 11

[Inspired]

And so the game begins!

Each player can Dig!
(Directions to make it easy: North: Up, North-West: Up-Left, North-East: Up-Right, South: Down, South-West: Down-Left, South-East: Down-Right)

Two Traders arrive to the side, hearing about these new shafts opening.

Bronk, the Gnome Jeweler would gladly buy some Amethyst.
Nightstalk, the werewolf would gladly buy some Silver.

Reminder on Trading:

► Show Spoiler

You can trade as soon as everyone's dig action is evaluated and you receive the resources. It's likely that you won't have enough just after the very first turn, so you can't buy from the NPC's, but no worries:
- The traders won't leave until they get to sell you something. After the first successful sell a counter starts (2-4 turns) after which the trader will leave.
- If a trader runs out of things to buy/sell, they will leave that turn.
- A new trader arrives automatically if an old trader leaves for whatever reason.
- A new trader arrives every turn, provided there are no more than 4 other traders. (So there can be a maximum of 5 traders available in a turn.)
- You can trade as much in a turn as you want and have the resource for it. However, trading happens in rounds, so your second trade will be only evaluated after everyone else's first trade has been accounted for - which means you can possibly end up with no deal if the others shop out a stock.
- You can trade with other people regardless of NPC's. Deal only happens if the other player agrees to it too, be polite to each other.
- You can trade the 5 Hate/Fancy resource for cards regardless of NPC's.

Edit:
Rules thread here: http://www.goblinsforum.com/viewtopic.p ... 35#p193246

[Dlover]

Diggersby begins by digging to the North West.

[Theis2]

Chokes on coal digs downs

[Krulle]

Link back to the original rules: http://goblinsforum.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 27#p193246

Hates Choosing digges south-east for the amethyst. south for the ruby.
(next round he'll also move there)

edit: re-read the rules, thus changed my desired digging, as I can use my hate stuff better than non-love/hate stuff...

[BadgeAddict]

Throws hats will dig north

[Inspired]

Turn 1

Diggersby mines the silver on the NW, and manages to pierce out an amount of 1.
Choked on coal (yellow) mines the coal on south and manages to collect 2.
Dislikes Choosing mines the ruby, managing to get 2 pieces.
Throws Hats goes for the gold, successfully extracting 3.

As there hasn't been enough resource mined for the traders (and I assume you won't want to trade with each other just yet), the first turn begins!

MOVE, DIG!

A new Trader arrives to the bunch, Lady Margaret, a noble. She would like to get some Ruby.

COMMENT 1:
Also, as said in the rules I'm rolling for your success a d6 / 2 rounded up (= d3), so you get a random amount of 1-3. If you want to roll for yourself, we could set up an online roller and you can link it to your next roll.

COMMENT 2:
The "pure black" coal tile Chokes mined was actually an art error that slipped through. Coal is supposed to be that really dark grey that is still next to him. I double checked the art on the full map, and the color is consistent otherwise.

[Dlover]

Diggersby moves north-west then digs north-west.

[Theis2]

Chokes moves down and mines the other vein of coal.

[Krulle]

Dislikes Choosing moves south, then digs south-east.

[BadgeAddict]

Throws Hats does a little Jig, and then moves North and digs North East

[Inspired]

Turn 2

Diggersby moves northwest, and digs the sapphire, he obtains 2 pieces.
Choked on coal (yellow) moves down and keeps mining the coal, this time finding only 1.
Dislikes Choosing moves south, and mines yet 1 piece of ruby.
Throws Hats moves north and digs the iron on the north-east. He obtains 1.

Skipping the trade phase since there aren't enough resources yet.

A new trader arrives, Olof the smith, who would gladly buy some iron.

Miner's Luck: -1

► Show Spoiler

Whenever at least 3 players mine a 1, the Luck goes down by 1. at -3, every player gains 2 free HATE resource, and the counter resets to 0.
Whenever at least 3 players mine a 3, the Luck goes up by 1. At +3, every player gains 2 free FANCY resource, and the counter resets to 0.

The two events apply to the same number, so a lucky round after an unlucky round equals to a Luck of 0.

Comment 1: You guys found a new mechanism, miner's luck! Check out the spoiler tag for details!
Comment 2: That big grey stone is supposed to be a boulder. It takes 3 dig action to chip it down, so it's easier to go around if you want resources too. Yes, it's the same kind of boulder you can put down by the HATE card #3

[Dlover]

Diggersby moves north-west and digs north.

[BadgeAddict]

Throws hats moves north east and digs south

[Krulle]

Dislikes Choosing moves south-east, then digs south-east.

[Theis2]

Chokes moves north east and continues hacking away at the coal

[Inspired]

Turn 2 - Trading!

Diggersby moves northwest, and digs the sapphire again, getting 3 pieces this time.
Throws Hats moves northeast and digs the amethyst below. He obtains 3.
Dislikes Choosing moves southwest, and mines 2 pieces of ruby.
Choked on coal (yellow) moves northeast and extracts 2 coal.

Trading is available now!
Once done buying/selling stuff, feel free to post next turn's action. If you happen to buy cards I'll pm the results to you tomorrow. In case you want to use those cards immediately you can edit the action again.

The last trader arrives, Knargh, the green dragon, who would gladly buy some emerald.

[Inspired]

Chokes will trade his coal for a hate card and then he'll dig the emerald.

I sent a pm with a card in it!

Other players, beware!

[Theis2]

You will all regret the day you opposed me! Should I just PM you when I want to use the card or just write it here?

Btw Krulle, do you mean west instead of east? xD

[Inspired]

Should I just PM you when I want to use the card or just write it here?

Using a card is a public action, and happens before moving and digging. Since I know everyone's cards, I can always verify the action.

Also, since it happens before moving and digging, the other players can react to it. (Say if you block someone's path with a boulder, he can change his intended action to target another tile instead.) The card player, however, can't change this action after announcing it.

I'd prefer that when a player changes their action, they should post it in a new post, so actions, reactions, and counter-actions can be read nicely after each other and without having to jump back-and-forth between posts.

[Krulle]

Dang, ndeed.
I meant to move south-west and dig north-west.

Thanks Inspired (for the warning via PM) and Theis2 for pointing it out here.

[btw: this happened because I just copied my previous post and changed what needed changing. East was already in my previous move...]


New move:

Dislikes Choosing wishes to buy 2 Victory Points from Lady Margaret.

It then moves south-west, then digs north-west.

I assume Theis2 doesn't want to use the card yet, so let's go!

Turn 2 events (reminder)

Choked on coal (yellow) trades in for a HATE card.
Dislikes Choosing trades in for 2 VP.
Throws Hats trades in for 1 VP.

Turn 3

Diggersby moves north, and digs some fancy coal. He finds 2.
Choked on coal (yellow) turns around and digs out 3 emeralds.
Dislikes Choosing moves southwest, and mines 1 piece of silver from northwest.
Throws Hats turns towards north-east, and digs 3 gold again.

Noone has enough resources to trade with the NPCs, so feel free to post for next turn.
