Bay 12 Games Forum

Plunder.

You decide to tell you the story of your drone life, from childhood to current year.


It sure takes a while.

"Geez, like, you Drones have all the backstories almost the same." Draqueesha keeps while Harley sobs.

"You poor, poor man! You're too good to go through all this." Sylvanas and Draqueesha roll their eyes in response to Harley's talk.

"Alright, barkeep. Get us each a shot of Dry Jet to clear our throats." Sylvanas says after a moment.

A) "Are you in a hurry?"
B) Get them their shots.

You turn off the notification and return to tend to the bounty hunters.


"Hey barkeep, why didja even agree to work at such a dump?" Draqueesha asks, putting down her empty glass. "You know you can't even leave this place on your own, right?"

A) Tell her your story.
B) "Not your business."

You decide to sit tight for a moment while a delegation of Gon and Bailemarrian envoys enters the city under flag of truce.

The dispatch to Consiert was unsuccessful; your diplomats were cast outside the gates as the rulers of the city refused to meet with them or anyone from your Army.

A) "Then we move south to a defensive position and see what's the next move of King of Gon will be!"
B) "Then we march north and strike the forces of King of Gon before he relieves the siege of Consiert!"

Playerlist:

You send priority order for the engineers at Utopia Spamitia to develop the Everspamen transport ship.

Within a day's time, the yardmaster sends his estimates that the Everspamen-001 should be out of the dock for its first cruise within 6 weeks.


Report comes from Europa Megalab. The Fusion Pulse Thrusters have been developed, tested, and ready to enter production!

IMPULSE:
Fusion Pulse Thrusters (Rate/Cost: 1.5/2)

Per previous agreement, Europans will use the existing fusion experiments to develop fusion-powered energy weapons.


Its in the news and in the official governmental dispatches; SPAMFLEET has begun withdrawing Spamtacuses that are 8 years old or older, replacing them with warp-capable Spammibals.

You receive terrible news from Utopia Spamitia!

The Warp Torus onboard Everspamen-001 was wrongly calibrated and the resulting feedback loop into the power network during a power flow check caused a massive explosion that not only destroyed Everspamen-001, but also caused many casualties and damaged the drydock and the infrastructure.

You're glad you're not the Yardmaster.

Few days later, you receive the report that Utopia Spamitia will be operational within a month, and that's when the construction of Everspamen-002 can begin at the earliest.


You attend the holo-conference with the Europa Megalab Chief Science Officer and others, which includes the presentation of the fusion-powered laser beam.

It is menacingly red and its beam cuts through Spamtacus-126, a recently decomissioned ship, with relative ease. Soon the old ship is in four pieces, the edges bright-orange from the laser's heat.

"We thought we would have a working prototype faster but there's still many kinks to work out, including the drain on the power network and potential damage to the focusing lenses. But here at Europa Megalab we're convinced that we need just few weeks more."


SFHQ officials host a holo-conference with you.

"The recent Utopia Spamitia disaster has caused the government to start clamoring for more safeguards and civilian inspectoral body to be commissioned within Spamfleet." One of them says.

"This will cause delays for pushing out your prototypes if the Government will have to approve the launches and test cruises and every damn door hinge on the ships." Another complains.

"The question is, Chief Designer, is whether we should convince the Government against it, or not." Says the Councillor.

A) "New designs and ships being ready to defend the Earth are a matter of our security and we can't let the civilians delay them!"
B) "If we don't agree to civilian inspections, another Everspamen disaster will happen sooner or later."

//Currently trade only requires access to resource; individual resource tracking will happen next game.






Playerlist:

You're a merchant, with knowledge of items procured, traded and available in the Desert, as well as the groups of people that might wander and dwell within its barely hospitable areas.

You pack up your pitiful belongings into the big bag and look around.

To the north, you see tall dunes and occassional stone surface.

To the east, you see cracked soil, surely a basin of a long-evaporated lake.

To the west and south, you see more sand. You remember coming from the south, that's the general direction of Oasis Seven - but why would you return there, with no loot to brag about and no stories to share?

A) Go west.
B) Go north.
C) Go east.
