What?

[Autumn]

Barkeep, do we have to specify which Warehouses we work on?

[Barkeep49]

"Captain I'm going to need you to come with me," Dr. saldana says.

Given the doctor's reputation for examining all parts of the body it's a bit of a surprise that the exam is so quiet. When the exam is over both walk out of the medical facility seemingly no worse for the wear.

[Chubby]

Ugh the blue is hard to read on my phone with sideline

[Autumn]

I'm feeling very uncomfortable with this game right now.

I am glad I am the only one with a gun at this point.

[Autumn]

Assuming we have to specify, I would suggest:

Hoops converts Warehouse 2
Darth Vilus, Chubby and a team of 10 slaves converts Warehouse 2

CrimsonFox and a team of 6 slaves converts Warehouse 1
Simbo Klice and a team of Mauboy, Shiggles, Julio Riddols and ? converts Warehouse 1

We need a fourth member for Simbo's team, one of the security personnel I guess, or JAG?

Yes. The Warehouses, Slave Pens, and Power Facilities are all separate places for purposes of conversion. For purposes of defense or attack they're 1 location.

[JAG]

It looks like we can have obe of the security crew do the action Autumn. The security crewmen have important uses for AP but most critical are their night actions. One of them can man the security HQ during the day today (say Chief Rum) and dubb can do the conversion work.

[Barkeep49]

"He's muttering." The word spreads. When you hear muttering coming from Autumn it can only mean one thing: he's planning. From the quantity of muttering you conclude he must be planning a couple of things.

[Autumn]

I kind of wish I could get Spawnified, just so after all that muttering I could come bursting out of the office and start murdering. "Oh I have a plan all right!"

[CrimsonFox]

This is going to be a lot of work converting all this stuff. We should talk about the bonus situation. WHen do we get that?

[Chief Rum]

Is it necessary to man the security HQ during the day?

i guess we should run before he starts ordering all this planning

[Chief Rum]

Or if it generally is necessary, is it necessary on Day One, behind a perimeter fence and before any night actions have been taken?

I would say probably not - but like you alluded to, I imagine it will be important in the future.

[Autumn]

I'm not sure, Chief. I assume the Spawn must have day actions, to necessitate a security desk thing, right?

[CrimsonFox]

And we have to convert the Security HQ before the brig and armory will work. BK is that just talking about the ship versions of these things?

Like all three work now, but the CONVERTED Brig/Armory won't work until we convert the HQ as well? And if we convert any of those pieces, will the ground versions of these still work?

This question confuses me. For the Brig or Armory to work on the ship you must have the Security HQ, but you can convert the HQ AFTER the Brig or Armory if that's what you're asking.

[JAG]

It's an option for a day action (the only one security crewmen can undertake that isn't a general action available to all), so presumably there would be a reason.

[Autumn]

So I'm finally trying to understand the Spawn rules. There's a Queen, and a Council of 3 longest living Spawn. And then the rest of the spawn don't even know each other, it seems. I assume that means there's probably 3-4 spawn now, and new ones won't necessarily know who the others are. The Spawn can attack to kill. The Queen can attack to create a spawnling, which may become a Spawn.

I don't see any reason to think they can make attacks during the day, but it doesn't say precisely whether the regular spawn can or not.

Well yes you can but it seems to me that you are saying that
Example: If you convert the Armory to the ship...then the armory will not work.
Once you convert the HQ to the ship, then the armory will work again.

But I'm not sure. Does it matter WHERE these things are for all 3 of them to work? That's what I'm not getting

[Chief Rum]

That confused me, too, CF.

[Danny]

I'm not feeling well cause I didnt sleep well, but I am thinking I should hand out a gun to someone today and then during the night I can either follow someone or protect someone.

[Danny]

I haven't read any posts yet.

[hoopsguy]

Hoping that you have some ability to safeguard the weapons if they are not being distributed.

[CrimsonFox]

That at least means you aren't confused. (And probably means you're Sp0wned)

[CrimsonFox]

Requoting this blob of shit so that I don't have to keep going back to find it.

[CrimsonFox]

Okay So I've guessing cycles and man-cycles can be used interchangably when speaking of conversion

Yes it matters where the things are. So a converted Security HQ will help a converted Brig work. An unconverted Security HQ will not help a converted Brig work.

You could also just click on the link located in post 2 for your thread reading pleasure.

[Barkeep49]

"Guys. Hey guys. Guys I don't want to be by myself. So guys I'm gonna go work on Warehouse 2. It'd be really great if one of you other engineer guys came with me and helped me. It would be so great," hoops says before going on his way to Warehouse 2.

[Darth Vilus]

I'll do it

[CrimsonFox]

bah, so taking slaves to convert only gets 3 cycles done if I take 6 slaves.
Hmmm.

[Danny]

I just read the rules. Break time before I start reading posts.

[CrimsonFox]

I can't really see us getting 2 done today really.
Hoops, if you and 2 of us engineers just work on one warehouse we will bang it out.
(2 + 2 + 2 + 1(for being with you)) = 7

[dubb93]

I would request that I be given a phaser today for use tonight.

Also, and this is a game mechanic thing. Do I need to "move" somewhere during the day? Like to a building? I'm confused on that part. Seems other people are moving about. I fear I may be standing here with a trout inserted in my rectum.

[Autumn]

Just to reiterate, I think this is what we want:

Hoops converts Warehouse 2
Darth Vilus, Chubby and a team of 10 slaves converts Warehouse 2

CrimsonFox and a team of 6 slaves converts Warehouse 1
Simbo Klice and a team of Mauboy, Shiggles, Julio Riddols and (unnamed security personnel) converts Warehouse 1

It's all figured out already, CF. If everybody followsthe plan we'll convert two.

dubb, you and I are a little in limbo, I think, as Chief PF determines the best use for us in the day time. Also, I have been asking about the phaser thing and PF was waiting to hear from Danny before making decisions on that. Danny just started reading the thread, so hopefully we will get some guidance soon.

I have advocated handing out phasers to the entire security personnel group, and not even having them return them (unless it is a necessary mechanic).

[Autumn]

I think you guys should pick one Security guy to go work on Warehouse 1, underSimbo's supervision.

[Barkeep49]

"No need to worryhoops I'll help you," DV says grabbing his tools and heading to Warehouse 2.

Sounds like the handing them back happens automatically - you keep them for the night and they they would have to be re-allocated the next day.

[Autumn]

Don't forget your slaves, Darth.

[Autumn]

I'm heading out to dinner. Be back in a couple of hours I think.

[b]Okay, I think we got that. That converted HQ makes converted brig and armory work. And that unconverted HQ makes unconverted brig and armory work.

Plus, it makes sense that if the brig and armory are converted but the HQ is not, then the converted elements there are not available.

What I most wanted to know was the last remaining scenario: if the HQ is converted, does that make currently unconverted brig and armory unusable?

I will do this. I will wait 10 minutes to be sure dubb didn't just go do it, but if there is no indication he has by 3 p.m. my time, I will send in my order.

[LoneStarGirl]

I would rather not lead a group and instead convert a miner to galley master or nurse. I think that is what Autumn is proposing anyway.

yes that was the basis of myquestion.
