[mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention] [mention]DrWilgy[/mention] Welcome aboard!

#4

DIdn't DF join too?

[mention]KyungDaisy[/mention] I'm assuming revealing our role abilities is okay, right?

You are allowed to discuss anything you want, in any thread you want.

#7

you're right. [mention]DFaraday[/mention] welcome!

#8

So team, easy, moderate, or difficult? I'm leaning toward easy or moderate.

#9

Also if Mudder or Simon Tam happen to be on the crew, we get +2 skill stat.

#10

Ok

I'm Billy, I'm a scapper, and I have 2 points in technical.

#11

Hard is probably a no-no with this team number. Medium may be possible if we have the right stats, which I don't know what they are.

I guess we first have to pick a place, right? Then we receive the three missions.

Pick one, Luna.

#12

scrapper*

#13

[mention]DFaraday[/mention] [mention]DrWilgy[/mention] if you don't mind, please reveal your stats.

#14

My stats are +2 attack.
I already selected Harvest - Magistrate Higgins as our location during the day phase.

All I know about the missions is that Easy rewards $1000, Medium $1500, and Hard $2000. Once we select one we will learn what the mission is.

#16

Magistrate suggests something to do with Diplomacy imo

Mac had this stat.

#17

yeah, I saw that

#18

Anyway I say do the medium one but also wait a little to see if the other guys post their skills so if we find out we are too screwed we might change to easy.

#19

I'm Saffron, and I have 2 Diplomacy and 1 Technical. Higgins sounds like a good start, and we have at least two of every stat, which is a good look for us. In the board game jobs usually involve transporting cargo or going to certain planets, so I'm not sure how that will translate here.

Also, I strongly recommend we don't take Niska jobs. If it's anything like the board game (and the show) Niska kills crew members that fail missions.

#20

The way I understand the game probably has a formula that takes our stats into account and then adds some dice roll to decide if we succeed or not.

Never played the board game or seen the show, btw.

#21

Okay crew, I'm submitting that we will do medium. Let's get this thing going.

#22

There was some confusion for me with the time zones. Night 1 will end at 9 pm EDT, not 8 pm.

Also, if anyone got a screenshot or copied the poll before I stupidly deleted it, let me know. Hosting while driving cross country is not advisable and I was trying to avoid it, but things never seem to go as planned. I am very sorry guys.

No problem. Did you mean to post this in the main thread?

Thanks for the info. I'll avoid Niska jobs.

No, but that’s a good idea and I will.

Can you also send over the Moderate job for us?

#27

Oh. I thought I did... hold please

#28

Well I must not have submitted it. I’m at breakfast now, I’ll get it as soon as I get back to my hotel room.

#29

Your Captain has chosen to take you to Harvest to attempt to complete the Moderate job from Magistrate Higgins for a payout of $1500

In order to pass this check you must achieve a 9 in the Attack skill.

Unfortunately you don't have either Simon Tam or a Mudder on your crew, so you didn't get a bonus.

If any of you who have any Attack Skill Stats wish to abstain from assisting your captain in completing this job, you may tell me so privately by PM by 8 PM tomorrow night. Once I know who is participating a die will be rolled and added to the total attack stats from your crew that are contributing. The total will determine if you pass or fail.

At the end of N1 I will inform you if you have passed this skill check. In the meantime you may want to discuss strategy amongst yourselves.

#30

Thanks Daisy!

We need to achieve 9 in the Attack skill for this mission. I can add an attack bonus of 2. DrWilgy do you have any attack stats to add?

According to Daisy's message above, a die roll (d6 I'm assuming) will be added to our total attack bonus. So if we only have my stat, we won't be able to pass this. If we're lucky and roll a 6, we would still need at least 1 more attack bonus from someone on the crew.

#32

The first post has been updated with ISO links.

#33

A note for the Captain: Money can only be spent and split in denominations of $50 or $100. So you could give someone $150 or $200, but not $160

#34

Well just roll it and hope Wilgy is hiding some attack stat.

#35

If this is the medium mission the hard one must be insane.

#36

yeah, I should have chosen easy.

#37

This thread is now locked, Results and Night Post incoming

#38

The crew of Bonanza failed to pass their skill check with a total of only 5 Attack.

You will all be included in the next lynch poll.

See you shortly in the day thread.

#39

Night 2 has begun. I will be sending out job options to the Captain shortly. I will update the first post after dinner.

Night 2 will end at 8 PM eastern time on August 13.

#40

Due to a host error each Captain got a free peek at the pass requirements for all the jobs at their chosen location. It will go back to the correct way tomorrow.

#41

[mention]DFaraday[/mention] [mention]DrWilgy[/mention]
Hello crew, Spacedaisy has allowed me to post her pm here:
These are the available jobs at Persephone:

Easy - $800 (5 Technical to pass)

Difficult - $1600 (9 Diplomacy to pass)

Additionally these are the modifiers that apply any t Me you work a job for Badger:
-1 Skill stat for Malcolm Reynolds being on your crew
+2 Skill stat for having a smuggler on your crew

#42

I'm going to go ahead and choose easy. I think it's our only option.
DFaraday, you have one technical, so if you lend your stat to the crew, we only need a dice roll of 4, 5, or 6 to pass. Better chances than we had last night.

#43

Hi. I'm back. Sorry life things happened again.

I hope you can forgive me cap'n.

#44

I'll have you know I'm quite handy. Easy should be a breeze.

#45

Yay DrWilgy, good to have you back. What are your stats?

#46

I have 2 tech is what I'll say now

My goal to catch up is to review Solkoth today. Was there anything in particular that I should take note of from them.

That 2 tech is helpful, thanks!

I don't know if you can see past polls, but it would be interesting to see who Solkoth placed votes on (If they switched around) on day 1. I may look back at their posts as well.

#49

[mention]DrWilgy[/mention] [mention]DFaraday[/mention]
I will give you both a $300 reward from this $800 mission if we pass. The remaining $200 will be used as bribes to expand the crew.

#50

Going to save my Sokoth analysis in this thread for posting later.
