SCPT Prelims Practice Game

[opal fox]

Looking for a fast paced game, ideally finished in at most 2 weeks in order to be done before people play their actual prelims game. American time zone/schedule preferred.

FWIW I joined 2-3 of these types of games to practice for the prelims, and people agreed to try to finish them by the end of January — and I think I have a couple of them still going 😦 but we can try!

[opal fox]

fair enough 😅

[mild plank]

I’m interested

[opal fox]

I don’t think anyone I’ve ever played with would call me “fast” per say, but for a game like this I’m willing to turn over a new leaf and go turbo speed 🏎️

maybe I’ll even turn into a ping monster like my friend @brazen hollow 😁

[round siren]

do it

[vernal fjord]

I'm going to add a setting where the bot will remind you every 5 minutes

(half kidding... Or am i?)

[digital ridge]

I'm gonna regret saying this, but I'll play (-5)

[still pagoda]

Too good of a lineup to miss

[digital ridge]

I knew you missed me, Spoon

[still pagoda]

I did

[round siren]

I'm fine waiting for the slice announcement to launch channels

[still pagoda]

Yeap. Tho we could do faction pools if people want to do that ahead of time

[round siren]

Oh yeah! May as well

[round siren]

I only did that once in async, can't remember exactly how we did it

[mild plank]

Feels like you all would be some of the folks to ask haha

[round siren]

I'm looking for a pinned post that supposedly exists with the faction list on it

[vernal fjord]

/shuffle custom_cards:arborec, argent, barony, Saar, keleres, muaat, Hacan, empy, sol, ghosts, L1Z1X, mahact, Mentak, Naalu, NRA, nekro, nomad, sardakk, titans, jolnar, cabal, Winnu, xxcha, yin, yssaril

Also relevant commands

/deal
/draw is_private:True

[round siren]

Ok so in this version I'd just deal 6 cards to people and keep a list going of 4 faction pools? Let me text this

[haughty mason]

Shuffled!

Your custom deck was shuffled!
Please be aware that this saved deck will expire and be automatically deleted after 30 days of last being drawn from.

Your cards:

You drew 6 cards from the deck (19 left):
testing: Winnu, cabal, Hacan, arborec, keleres, ghosts.

[round siren]

Ok so we can choose whether to just set the order of players randomly and go off a list like this, or maintain full secrecy and have each person draw 1 card privately (would be less efficient too)

[mild plank]

We should also make sure everyone is familiar with the format

[digital ridge]

I’m not familiar, but if it’s written out somewhere I can read up on it

[mild plank]

Can’t figure out share from time stamp on mobile but you’re looking for 22:38 in this vid

[round siren]

Used to be pinned but can't find it now

[digital ridge]

Manythanks. Seems straightforward enough

[still pagoda]

I just set it up so I can do it easily

Pool A

1. 

Pool B

1. 

Pool C

1. 

Pool D

[still pagoda]

@round siren use /deal to send each of us 2 factions. Then use /draw to reveal 4 factions

[round siren]

@still pagoda like this?

/deal number_of_cards_to_draw:2 users_list:Liversquatch, BLT, Pumwi, elev8, OldTomsBootandHat, HolyTispoon

or this :

/deal number_of_cards_to_draw:2 users_list:@opal fox , @round siren , @distant mist , @mild plank , @digital ridge, @still pagoda

[still pagoda]

The latter

[haughty mason]

Deal results:

You dealt 12 cards from the deck (13 left).
The results were sent to the DMs of the mentioned users.

Your cards:

You drew 4 cards from the deck (9 left):
Mentak, barony, Naalu, Hacan.

Ordered items in your list:

oldtomsbootandhat, blt, pumwi, holytispoon, elev8, liversquatch

[round siren]

here's the placement order

[mild plank]

We’ll treat last card as center?

[round siren]

So @digital ridge is up first! to place one of their factions into a pool

[digital ridge]

What command to discard once I’ve placed?

[round siren]

I don't think it matters, right?

[digital ridge]

Titans in A
@round siren

[round siren]

in D
@distant mist

[distant mist]

in C

@mild plank

[still pagoda]

@round siren can you copy the pinned post and have one updated? I’m alone with kids and can’t update

[round siren]

Pool A

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

Pool B

1. 

Pool C

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

Pool D

1. 
2. 

[distant mist]

How do I draw a new card? Or are we going to deal 1 to everyone once everyone has placed one down?

[mild plank]

in C

@opal fox

[round siren]

I think it'll be easier to track if we deal one once everyone has placed one, not sure what the official method is

[mild plank]

Official is supposed to be draw as you go, but that’s mainly because there are 2 people who will place an additional time

I don’t think it matters since we’ll deal to everyone and then we’ll deal to OldTom and BLT

[round siren]

oh interesting

[mild plank]

Wait a minute. I watched your qualifier-haven’t you done this? Too many games of TI in between?

[round siren]

It all happened so fast! It's not like I noticed that somebody placed more than somebody else

also why on earth did you watch that slog of a game

[mild plank]

Too busy making that meme in your play area I guess

I had it on in the background, my game was the following week I think

[still pagoda]

You can draw as you go with /draw is_private:true

Just don’t draw the last card in the deck

[still pagoda]

Use /draw is_private:true

[haughty mason]

[haughty mason]

@mild plank

[mild plank]

in D

@opal fox

[opal fox]

mahact in C

@digital ridge

[digital ridge]

@round siren Does A have one too many or am I misunderstanding?

6 should be the hidden one, right?

[distant mist]

No 7 is the hidden one

The 25th faction

[digital ridge]

Ahhhh. My B

in B
@round siren

Anybody else desperately hoping we don’t end up with A?

[distant mist]

A would be miserable but I almost want it

[still pagoda]

I have comfortable factions in each pool. That’s pretty much my only consideration

At the margin I consider some other balance issues

[mild plank]

I like my pools with power level disparity so A feels like the best for that

Just curious if it gets argent or muaat as the 7th

[digital ridge]

My gut says Muaat, but that’s usually wrong so it’s probably Argent

[mild plank]

Nearly put keleres in that pool. Woulda been funny if argent was in the middle

[digital ridge]

I just don’t like Titans, Xxcha, and Mentak in the same game. Hard to find worse neighbors

[mild plank]

That’s pretty fair

[distant mist]

With in C

And in D

We should be good to randomize which pool we use right?

@round siren

[mild plank]

BLT has to drop either or into B then the leftover is in all and we randomize

[distant mist]

Could BLT just draw the leftover and figure out which one is forced?

[mild plank]

Yeah but I think either way we’re just waiting for them to play

[distant mist]

Ah… I forgot it is his turn

[round siren]

Sorry I'm back

Who wants to do the honors of picking the pool?

[distant mist]

I’ll do it!

[still pagoda]

Go for it

[distant mist]

1 is A, 2 B, etc

[haughty mason]

Your results:

1d4 = 1

[still pagoda]

Wait what is 3

[digital ridge]

Yeah. Feels like that roll couldn’t have counted without 3 and 4 clearly defined

[distant mist]

My bad… 1 is A, 2 is B, 3 is C, 4 is D

[haughty mason]

Your results:

1d4 = 1

[distant mist]

Still 1

[still pagoda]

lol ok

[digital ridge]

So 1 is B, etc…?

[still pagoda]

3 is d I think

[haughty mason]

Your results:

1d4 = 3

[digital ridge]

I usually see those together, yeah

[round siren]

[digital ridge]

We’re just whining

[round siren]

[digital ridge]

[round siren]
