Izzith spends 10FP creating the Arcanum Botanica at K1

The Arcanum Botanica is an artifact spellbook that contains spells for manipulating, harvesting, and growing plants.

Also I'm going to change my action to try and save my Zebras.
I thought there were rules against this, IE if you post an action and then someone else posts an action you can't go back and edit your action with the explicit purpose of interfering with other player's actions. Maybe it was in a different Gridhood thread but I could have sworn this was against the rules.

Otherwise we would have massive chains of people constantly editing their actions to one up eachother, or people would wait until the last second to post their plans in the hope of sneaking their action in.

I just looked at the rules and it doesn't say anything about not being able to do that, all I did was swap from changing a tile to trying to add more protection to the tile with the Zebras.

It also breaks immersion and makes the storytelling aspect of this game feel cheap. Blarg shouldn't be capable of discerning Malvol's intentions prior to the action unless they are announced explicitely.

As mentioned in the previous turn, the most exciting field of battle this year will be in the Arstotzkan capitol, with plenty of close-quarter fighting and siege warfare.  Arstotzka, accordingly, spent their design phase developing a high-altitude tactical bomber.

Yes, good point.  No editing of actions to counter what someone does.

Now, if it's all right with you guys, I think I'm going to take a break this morning.  I'll do the turn sometime around late thursday/early friday.

In contrast, I don't think there should be a rule against it. For one thing, gods appear to be omniscient - it is already perfectly legitimate for you to make your action in the first place in specific response to something a civ or god does the same turn if the post happened before yours, so why should it make a difference if you're making a second one? - and for another, there already is a generally understood rule (which is I believe what Oblivion mistook for applying in this case) that things happen in chronological rather than post order, so that you can't preëmpt another player by editing more into an earlier post. That rule alone should be adequate. And, well, we haven't had "massive chains of people constantly editing their actions to one up each other", and I can't imagine that anyone would be seriously willing to invest the effort to do so. So let's err on the side of permissiveness until there is evidence that a rule is actually necessary, okay?

So what if I make a new action and say screw the old one, would that make every one happy?

Things do not happen until they appear in a turn update.  Thus, it is impossible for new civilizations to appear on the first turn, as there is no land.  For conflicting actions on the same turn, such as two gods creating land on the same tile, the first action posted takes precedence. FP spent on actions that conflict with another is still used.

Its too late to protect the Zebras this turn. Things do not happen until they appear on the turn update so the protection wouldn't be added until after the Lions do their thing. Not only would protecting them now not work anyway, but you would waste your FP too because another god interacted with the tile before you.

Just like how I can't preemptively build houses on K2.

Also, welcome the Merfolk!

I changed my mind. I'll go for a land invasion instead of just dropping lions in the zebras.
