pbd10840-launched [FULL] - [full] 10vp codex 4 minor factions rematch

[proud bluff]

New game for a group of peeps who I played with before, but open to others if one of the prior players do not join!
@thorn sundial
@gray smelt
@tulip relic
@still pecan
@hot geyser

Because TI4 async does not have the option to set up the minor factions yet as part of the draft, we will use an alternate web tool to run the draft, and then I will create the map string after we are done.

[icy night]

To launch a new game, please run the command /game create_game_button, filling in the players and fun game name. This will create a button that you may press to launch the game after confirming the members are correct.

[proud bluff]

I will keep the game open for the tagged players to confirm their participation. After 6 hours, I will then take any replacements from new people who volunteered.

[tulip relic]

Confirmed

[steel hornet]

How do we start codex 4?

[hot geyser]

Confirmed

[gray smelt]

Yep

[thorn sundial]

Confirmed!

[proud bluff]

Just gotta wait to hear from @still pecan

[strange merlin]

Got a slot?

[proud bluff]

Gotta wait to see if we hear back from someone. If not, then I’ll look into who wants to fill the spot!

[strange merlin]

Noted

[hot geyser]

He was I think the first to speak up about another game so I assume he’s in

[thorn sundial]

Are Mahact and Keleres just excluded from this setup, since Mahact has a weird commander and Keleres doesn't have their own HS?

[hot geyser]

Idk

[proud bluff]

I think my biggest concern is that I set up the draft and get everyone in, and then Kahunigmq doesn’t respond. It’s been a few days since they said they would play again. I’ll give them another hour and then get on with creating the draft with another person.

[gray smelt]

In the minor factions game I'm in that's wrapping up, they actually had both Keleres' and Mahact's home system in it. Not sure how they determined which Keleres system to use but the website might account for it or maybe they just chose Keleres and rolled to see which one.

[proud bluff]

Nice. I wonder if they use the same tool. Perhaps if you pick Keleres, you specify then what flavor you’re including, and you can’t pick a faction that is also in the pool.

[gray smelt]

Maybe so? Honestly no clue. I just filled in, I wasn't there during setup

[proud bluff]

Okay. Times up. I’m putting in a sub so we can get this going. Here is our group:

@gray smelt
@thorn sundial
@tulip relic
@hot geyser
@strange merlin
@proud bluff

I’ll work on setting up the draft now.

[full] 10vp codex 4 minor factions rematch

[thorn sundial]

Are we using new x89??

[proud bluff]

I say yes, since Fin has added it now. I will say we just do codex 4 stuff. No Absol just to keep it easy.

Alright y’all, this has been created. Follow the link below:

https://tidraft.com/draft/covert-perfect-geometry

Minor factions follow the same draft as normal, it just adds an additional snake rotation. @strange merlin is up first!

Once you have made your pick, tag the next person in line. Once the draft is done, I can start creating everything.

[strange merlin]

To @thorn sundial

[gray smelt]

I say we also try out that silent agenda phase thing that got released a couple months back can't remember what it was called.

[thorn sundial]

?

[hot geyser]

Dammit @thorn sundial I was just looking at that slice lol

[proud bluff]

lol. I’ll look for it

[hot geyser]

You up @tulip relic

[proud bluff]

This thing:

[tulip relic]

Your turn @gray smelt

[gray smelt]

Yes, that one! I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called lol.

[hot geyser]

Dammit @tulip relic Then you take the faction I wanted lol

[gray smelt]

@hot geyser your turn

[tulip relic]

Didn't I take the faction you wanted last game too? haha😂

My Bad

[hot geyser]

You up @proud bluff

[hot geyser]

Naw it’s all good

Imma pirate

[still pecan]

Crap I was traveling for work yesterday and today /26 work hrs in two days 😭

That + 10 hrs of driving

Yes only 4 hrs of sleep Tue into Wed and 4hrs from Wed into today

[still pecan]

I was / still am

[proud bluff]

Damn. Sorry, man. I feel that. I just got out of working 14+ hour shifts for the past month.

Well, crap. Not sure what to do here. I don’t want to kick out @strange merlin unless they’re willing to step down, and I’d have to figure out the reassignment of picking.

In the meantime, I’ll proceed with my choices.

Well, when though I’m currently playing them, I feel like I gotta do the combo I saw.

@hot geyser to you.

[hot geyser]

to you @gray smeltthanks buddy! @still pecan we will

[strange merlin]

Cool with stepping out, enjoy the game!

Just have them repick, not like we were far in the draft

[still pecan]

@strange merlin ... I'll actually bow out - I've got a hectic 3 days ahead of me - would love to learn new codex, but realize I likely need to sit this one out. @hot geyser @proud bluff @gray smelt @tulip relic @thorn sundial Have fun - and again you all were the best group I've played with! Hit me up if you have another game after this one.

[proud bluff]

Sounds good, friend. I’ll definitely contact you for the next one.

[hot geyser]

just so it doesn't get lost in the thread, it's your pick @gray smelt

[gray smelt]

@tulip relic

[thorn sundial]

Which side of our slice does it place our drafted minor faction on?

This is a tough draft. It was close call between slice or faction first, and it's harder to drsft slices without knowing the equidistants. I was looking at Empyrean for a minute there.

[proud bluff]

It goes clockwise, just like speaker order. So first pick will have their alliance choice in the rough 3:00 position

[tulip relic]

@thorn sundial back to you

[thorn sundial]

https://tidraft.com/draft/covert-perfect-geometry

(Reposting to limit scrolling)

@strange merlin

[strange merlin]

Back to you @thorn sundial

[thorn sundial]

Dang, I was really hoping for that. I didn't think it would get taken over Hacan or Jol Nar.

@tulip relic

[hot geyser]

I don’t know why but as a natural sardak player…I hate Jolnar @thorn sundial lol

So be prepared

[thorn sundial]

Yeah, I do too. 😐 But I haven't played them before in 4th edition, so it's about time I give them a shot if @strange merlin is gonna take ma bugs.

[hot geyser]

Haha that’s fair

I’m playing sardak in another game which is why I didn’t pick

Plus their ground troops are just naughty

[strange merlin]

You don’t like +3 native bonus on legendary planets?

[hot geyser]

Oof I didn’t think about that. Naughty

Man @tulip relic gets my preferred faction AND 2nd pick? Shame

[proud bluff]

You fools! You gave Sardaak Winnu with a legendary planet, lol

[tulip relic]

Lol sorry

[hot geyser]

You dick lololol

[tulip relic]

Back to you @gray smelt

[hot geyser]

I wanted that slice sooooooo bad

[tulip relic]

😂 I guess great minds think alike

[gray smelt]

Are you sure? Not that it matters really but I always assumed it was the one to the left, not the right. Just like when you draft a slice with Milty.

[hot geyser]

I think that’s what he was saying. Since I start I’m at top and 3 o’clock is to the left

[gray smelt]

@proud bluff can you force my choice? It won't let me pick. I'll take Nekro's minor faction.

[hot geyser]

Weird

[gray smelt]

Nevermind, I figured it out. @hot geyser you're up.

I'm assuming it loses sight of your device when you change IP like when you go from work to home.

[hot geyser]

You up @thorn sundial

[proud bluff]

Correct!

[thorn sundial]

? It's showing @proud bluff for me.

[hot geyser]

You right you right

[proud bluff]

What a bunch of poopy slices. Who generated this draft? lol

@hot geyser it’s to you

[hot geyser]

You up @gray smelt

[gray smelt]

@tulip relic

[tulip relic]

Back to you @thorn sundial

[thorn sundial]

@strange merlin

[hot geyser]

I mean the only option left for them is 6th position anyways so we could start

[strange merlin]

All done

[proud bluff]

I’ll get the game setup later today. Dealing with some work stuff.

[thorn sundial]

@strange merlin psst

Ya wanna buy sum tech?

[strange merlin]

Whatcha pedalling?

[thorn sundial]

Have you heard of... Dacxive Reanimators?

[strange merlin]

You have peaked my interest

[thorn sundial]

I don't actually have any idea what I'm getting yet.
