Let's get a GMT+5-10 Timezone game going with Discordant Stars and Absol, to mix things up! Players who can consistently run turns at least once morning + evening and are loosely available to answer trade requests during the day, please! (other timezones ok, but you'd need to be online really a lot during our hours to avoid killing game tempo)

    Edit: Absol's means - Absol's Agendas (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FB2Ksdh5mARUOV4ScWIEZkFbUqI66MLk037UM7FVuLY/edit#gid=0) and Absol's Relics (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b5tERGbVW34XqYAzUgOBGnAi4wR6Vlxn-xBooVTX_RI/edit#gid=1389870381). Discordant Stars means a new set of factions (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vZquYTTqvtNxZNSmU1OPGa-eIKDyS2v3).
#

@tame osprey @scarlet sun @uneven rain since our game just ended, Any interest? 😄

#

DS/absol is negotiable but I figured it'd be a fun change of pace!

#

Just started another DS game and it's been a blast exploring something new - and the factions seem surprisingly fair.

#

@uncut sand this one sounds up your allley

uncut sand
#

I really shouldn't. I'm already in one more game than my limit.

#

But... it's DS AND Absol.

#

Haiz. I'm in.

light hornet
#

I've never done absol and am new to DS (round 1 of 1 game), but absol seems really good and a nice change of pace and the bot has gotten much better about both relatively recently.

scarlet sun
#

I'm in ^_^

vast quiver
#

I'm in if you'll have me

light hornet
#

@scarlet sun gonna hold these two spots for matt and throwing unless they're not a fan of homebrew shenanigans?

#

so we're 6 until one of @tame osprey and @uneven rain says they don't want to, since they'd all discussed a new game in 437 a bit ago.

fallen iron
#

Id be keen join

scarlet sun
#

is discordant stars just new factions and absol is just the relics/agendas? or is there more shenanigans

light hornet
#

and aside from that absol's relics and absol's agendas. No other homebrew.

scarlet sun
#

34 from my count 😮

light hornet
scarlet sun
#

ohh gotcha gotcha

light hornet
#

might be less, I'm actually updating that list as we speak.

uneven rain
#

I'm in

#

@fallen iron the remaining spots were locked up from a game we'd had end just now - it'd be great to have ya tho', if @tame osprey opts not to play (but I think he will).
Alternatively, if we got unanimous consent, I don't mind running a 7p game.

vast quiver
#

only 19 are playable here so far #bot-announcements message

fallen iron
#

All good mate, I'll catch ya on the next 1

light hornet
#

augur (needs PO functions that don't exist, like checking top card and retrieving specific cards)
veldyr (needs 4 faction pns that are attachments like terraforming but weaker)
li-zho (needs trap attachments that enter game face down and only flip under certain conditions, so needs tracking of back and front side of attachments)
shipwrights (has a LOT of tracking of 4 cards that get dealt to players to allow them to produce at strange timings. Could probably be tracked manually, but it'd be kind of a lot).

#

the rest can all be played as is. 11 of them need some kind of tracking, varying from "just turn off the plastic cap setting" to "keep a thread where you increment how much debt each player owe you"

scarlet sun
#

back in my day we tracked it all on spreadsheets and forum posts!!!

#

is it milty draft?

light hornet
vast quiver
#

or rather the normal draft out of 9 or so

light hornet
#

e.g. player count +4

vast quiver

light hornet
#

nice! ok, let's do a 7p! Swampy is one of the fastest players I've seen play - at least in the game I was in with them. (sub 1hr for most of the game until in combat with people with slow response rates), and is a strong player.
@scarlet sun @uncut sand @tame osprey @uneven rain @vast quiver just pinging to ensure everyone would be ok with 7p (milty). This group should be able to keep the game moving at a nice pace even at 7.

#

this game is already nonstandard enough that I figure folks will be chill, but some folks don't like hyperlanes and I don't want to put anyone out. Swampy had already ducked out but I figure if everyone is chill, maybe we can all win! 😄

scarlet sun
#

7p all g

#

hyperlane map though please

fallen iron
#

What do you mean Dysent…. I’m super weak and flimsy. Everyone shouldn’t be worried about me 😉

light hornet
#

(which is a hyperlane map built so everything is equal distance MR/HS)

light hornet
scarlet sun
#

I am also a weak player and do not know what you speak of 😉

light hornet
#

btw thor - do you think Matt would just kinda be chill with this such that we can get rolling before he wakes up (he's in UK or smtg rn iirc), or it's better to wait and be sure.

scarlet sun
#

I think he'd be in, but probably worth making sure as he hasn't always jumped right into homebrews

fallen iron
light hornet
#

roger that, will wait and see. I think this is gonna be a great group.

scarlet sun
#

relics are spicy af

#

3 copies of shard, am I reading that right 😮

light hornet
#

buncha hot potato ones

scarlet sun
#

makes legendary planets even more of a risk to grab lol

#

Do you have a list of the races that are playable? I won't bother reading the ones that aren't
