Anyway, do we have any undried excess food? If yes, I'll dry it; if no, I'll help gather with ACC (if they'll have me).

Yeah, I'll take them along if they want to come.

Edit:

On second thought (based on the discussion below) it appears that I can only take 1 person.  So unless the Adept doesn't want to go, the Cook'll have to stay home.

Btw, anyone know how many people I can take along before the groups chances of finding fruit are seriously hampered?

[a1s]

Assuming everyone gathers with the same efficiency (which might not be true)
the expected values for several gatherers are as follows:
gatherer alone: 2.17
gatherer and 1 helper: 3.33
gatherer and 2 helpers: 3.5
gatherer and 3 helpers: 2.67

[A_Curious_Cat]

Are higher numbers better or worse?

[Glass]

Actually, a1s, each non-gatherer participating has a .5 chance of finding a food, if I understand correctly.

[a1s]

higher is better (it's how much food on average is found during 1 turn).
If helpers only find food 50% of the time,
gatherer alone: 2.17
gatherer and 1 helper: 2.5
gatherer and 2 helpers: 2.33
gatherer and 3 helpers: 1.67

so we should never send more than 1 person.

In that case I'll have to tell the Cook to stay home (unless the Adept doesn't want to come).

I'm going to allow the Cook to choose their action next phase, since the inventories weren't available this time.

[Maxinum McDreich]

Follow Gatherer and gather.


Also to state: I will not be continuing. Game's struggled for clarity for me and the adept is very unsatisfying for myself. Tricmagic though, did state interest as a reminder. All the best for the rest!

[RoseHeart]

Thanks for letting me know.

[RoseHeart]

0cra has informed me he will also be dropping out. Fortunately with TricMagic confirming to join (after next turn) we are still +1 from the number we started with.

[a1s]

I'd like to switch my action to hunting adept, I will not need elder support on this, so MonkeyMarkMario please help A_Curious_Cat with his gathering.
We are going to eat well tonight.

[RoseHeart]

Oh wow! Nice... well I guess TricMagic is The Adept then.

I'm going to extend this phase by 24 hours for The Adept to make an action(welcome TricMagic, see this post and the roles tab for your options.)


One microscopic note is I will be instead trying to post right on the hour, rather than an exact amount of time from the last update. This may mean a turn is some fraction of 1 hour shorter than stated. (So if I post at say, 15 min after, I might post the next update 15 mins earlier, on the hour)

[TricMagic]

I was kinda hoping to be a Crafter. But there are no Crafters to observe?

[a1s]

Sorry I got confused. I will kill the adept.
(I assumed a new role would be handed out to TriMagic)
((and you know what they say about assuming))

[TricMagic]

Crafters are the backbone of advancement, while Adepts need training to do roles. I kinda like crafting things.


The new Crafter, looking at the woven basket, seeks to Design a method for injuries, weaving to bind injuries, to stop the bleeding and support the limb.


This will help with injuries, may get a medic role, and is a step up to making stone knives/axes.
