Hello nerds! (Educated guess)

We've freed ourselves from the chains of predetermined factions. We can do whatever we want: Dane isn't watching!
Feel free to submit your draft fantasy, and we'll see what we can do for you 😄

[stray zephyr]

@dusk beacon havent dont Frankendraz, so happy to try it out, but i think absol would be too much for me (as I dont have experience with that), so if you're fine with just plain old PoK then i'll join

[dusk beacon]

What's the most frightening aspect for you? The addition of DS factions?

[stray zephyr]

oh wait frankendraz is DS also? then i'm out 😄 😄

yeah it's too much to read up on

i've had a game with DS factions ... it was terrible and time consuming (as if async TI was not enough 😄 ) but getting surprised on each turn by something you don't know exists is kinda 2 much for me

feel free to disregard my comments and play a game which you'll like

[nocturne sigil]

Please DS. Maybe not absol but I'm up for it. I like the Absol relics and agendas a lot, just not the techs, and I haven't found a way to do that in Asynch.

I think the more powerful the better. Other than that I'm up for whatever.

[dusk beacon]

Yes, DS is very much included

[nocturne sigil]

Good good.

[dusk beacon]

What is FrankDraz you might wonder:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w2hRGZviiVr51A7nKysD2ko8VxCLpQRoEPJsLVhp_NE/edit?tab=t.0`

Franken variant where you draft entire factions (instead of singular items) which you dissect and reassemble into a Monster Faction.
(Usually 6 abilities, 3 faction tech, but could also be 8 and 4)

(Im aware it can become slow during holidays, but at least 1 action per day unless you upfront excuse yourself: no leavers, it's impossible to find replacements for these games.)

[faint grail]

I'll join

[warm wharf]

Happy to lose to a fresh group!

[quasi quail]

I'd be happy to try this out!

[quasi quail]

(in case you missed it @dusk beacon I think that makes 6, no worries if you're busy right now!)

[dusk beacon]

Welcome to the festival!

We're at 6!

No time right now. Probably some details we all need to agree on.

[quasi quail]

As for me, I'm fine with however many abilities/techs the group wants, and I'd like Absol but it's by no means a necessity

What point total are we playing to, or are we going to decide that based on the number of abilities/techs?

[wicked crane]

I'd prefer no absol techs but im flexible about the rest

[dusk beacon]

I'M EDITING THIS POST AS CONSENSUS IS FORMING

Does anyone have strong opinion on:

1. Open draft vs Bag draft?
   (open is shared Excel sheet with all factions, slices, and position and we snakedraft 1 item at a time?

2. Absol Relics, agenda's?
   NO Absol Tech

3. Amount of Victory Points?

4. 8 abilities, 4 faction tech vs 6 abilities, 3 faction tech?

5. Aside from abilities and f-tech, one of each other item

6. Anyone keen on certain bans?

7.. Other, namely: ... ?

[quasi quail]

I think I'd prefer bag draft just for the sake of decision paralysis, but I can try an open draft if y'all are wanting that

Double leader sounds interesting, but I'm not personally needing anything too crazy.

[warm wharf]

I think we should skip double-leaders. That sounds like a lot

[nocturne sigil]

1. Don't care
2. Preferably non Absol
3. Longer the better
4. 8 and 4
5. What about double mech and flagship?
6. No bans. What rules are playing off of for coupled unit abilities? Eg, axis orders need both abilities otherwise it is broken.
7. Maybe a band-aid round at the end where everyone gets to drop something and add something else?

[wicked crane]

1. I'd say open draft is easier just from a logistics perspective but I'm easy.
2. No absol tech
3. No strong preference
4. No strong preference
5. No strong preference
6. No strong preference

[dusk beacon]

6. Good question! Axis thing should be an "added component". So mandatory, see spreadsheet.

This spreadsheet shows what abilities are separate and what are "Added Components"

Google Docs
Luminous_Comprehensive Franken List

Added components don't count towards number of abilities. They extra.

[dusk beacon]

What about double abilities for FS and Mech? Pro or against?

[wicked crane]

I got nothing against it but it might be a lot

[warm wharf]

Geez. everyone wants insanity. go for it

This is my first time doing this super-draft so whatever

[river oracle]

I’m not in this game, but saw a familiar face. Good luck, @warm wharf and happy turkey weekend! 🦃

Our Thanksgiving was back in October 🇨🇦

[warm wharf]

Eyyyyyyyy Miles. happy Turkeys to you. Tag me when you're getting back into the Franken Game

Maple Bacon Turkey?

[river oracle]

But I vaguely recall you being South of the Wall 🧊

[warm wharf]

I thought that was Mexico?

[river oracle]

Oh yeah, maple bacon on waffles. 🧇

[warm wharf]

Naw, I meant maple-bacon turkey!

[river oracle]

Oh I was thinking a Game of Thrones reference

[warm wharf]

I was referring to the very small Trumpian wall

[river oracle]

Inside joke with my Buffalo friends

I guess the Wall reference has shifted in the last decade!

[warm wharf]

Everything's gonna be fine in the US.....

Political commentary: Over.

[river oracle]

Ah, 🍀

Anyways, yes. Will keep you in the loop for the future!

[quasi quail]

Does the bot have a way to track that for automation and such? If not, it might be a bit more hassle than I'd like

[faint grail]

1. I like both
2. no preference
3. no preference
4. no preference
5. extra leaders sound fun
6. no opinion on bans

[dusk beacon]

Bot doesn't get it, ok we skip that.

[dusk beacon]

Band aid?

You'll end up with 8(?) entire factions from which you assemble 1. What needs dropping and stitching?

[nocturne sigil]

Nevermind. I forgot about the whole faction thingy. I'm used to a different version of Franken.

[dusk beacon]

RESOLUTIONS:

1. Open draft
   (open is shared Excel sheet with all factions, slices, and position and we snakedraft 1 item at a time)
   Only @quasi quail sounds slightly opposed?

2. Absol Relics, agenda's.
   NO Absol Tech

3. 14 VP

4. 8 abilities, 4 faction tech

5. Aside from abilities and f-tech, one of each other item

6. No bans.

In that case we need:
-A channel
-Randomised draft positions
-12 Slices
-the sheet (i have it somewhere I think)

All in favor say: Aye (or thumbs up)

[quasi quail]

I'll have to read up on all the factions for an open draft, but that should be fine

[dusk beacon]

I got the sheet, but can't seem to edit:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17jyaS4aFzLu76GHq2Cw0QVecuF8A01aryCEc4bdErKs/edit?usp=sharing

[faint grail]

I can edit it

[wicked crane]

Same

Shall we get started?

[nocturne sigil]

YA

[dusk beacon]

We ask a bothelper now for channel? Right?

[Full] Frankendraz - over-/powewered etc to be determent

[faint grail]

We don't need a bothelper

just /game create_game_button

[dusk beacon]

On which server?

[quasi quail]

Run it in this channel; the bot'll figure out what server has space
