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.
I’m not new but happy to join and point out the oddities of async along the way
I'm the new one so that would be helpful.
Perfect! I can play tour guide.
First step … let’s ping the LFG to alert folks there’s a new game being formed
<@&947310962485108816>
😅I thought it automatically did that. Makes sense it doesn't though.
im na, looking for a new one
Sounds good
also not new to async though
That was more for me than anything. I'm brand new so it's my first game.
Not of ti but of async
Weekends tend to be slower so may take a little bit to fill out the game
Really? I thought it'd be the opposite.

Player win percentage across all games was: 0.00
I’ll join if you have space
I did too but most folks come here because they have lives that don’t allow for 8-10 hours of TI in a single sitting which generally means they have busy lives (kid activities, etc)
Makes sense
Sure
hi again McMurray!
Greetings!

Player win percentage across all games was: 0.12
So how many turns do people usually go through in a day with this mode?
can really vary. casual id say between 1 turn per plater per day to 3 per player per day? combat can slow it down to get both people online at once
Agreed
Round 5 also typically slows way down because ac cards have a higher chance of getting sabotaged, etc
Ah that makes sense.
draft and r1 can be done really fast. haha
no interactions except negotiating timings
I realize I didn't put this in the title but are you guys cool with pok and base ti? I don't know anything about the community expansion so I'm taking it one step at a time.
Vanilla PoK works for me
Awesome
They have a demo for the bits of Thunders Edge that have been released that’s pretty fun so something for you to look forward to
base+pok is my preference as well
ive done a few scenarios and found them overwhelming haha
Sounds interesting
The game is already large so adding complexity will di that to a fella
Any preference to what you guys play btw?
not really. depends on the draft
Understandable
you?
I've been looking at trying some of the factions I haven't ever played before. Maybe argent flight or arborec.
great! if others are okay with it we can seed the draft so those are in it
The in person pod I play with are all really close to me so we haven't ever Drafted factions. It's a new concept to me.
its pretty straight forward. but not needed
Oh yeah I've Drafted for other stuff so it isnt brand new. Just never played twilight that way.
I’m good if you want to seed the draft to play a faction you’ve never done before. The milty draft setup is really easy and pretty intuitive
Awesome
Especially if we’re not doing any scenarios you can take the base setup
(Also happy to help when we get to that step)
I was going to ask if you wouldn't mind yeah.
Yeah, absolutely. Once we have two more players I can launch it and get the draft rolling
So how long have you guys been playing ti?
Three years of TI … been doing async about four months now but have been pretty obsessive about it during that time
What about you?
I'm about the same. Though my number of games is low due to my pod moving.
Yeah I came over to async because my IRL group could only play a few times a year and I wanted more. lol
Ours is once or twice a year.
I think a lot of folks here have that experience
Though I am excited about the place I'm moving to. The local game shop has monthly in person twilight games.
Oooohhh nice!
It also helps that I'm going to have more free time being out of college.
lol … yeah that definitely helps
<@&947310962485108816> looking for two more players
Should I change the game name?
maybe add that it’s PoK? I think it’s fine but adding that detail doesn’t hurt
i have a group that plays about 2 times a year. then my async stuff for about the past year
Na tz, 6p, casual, new to async, pok
So I'm not just gonna fall over to experience. Atleast hopefully.
Yeah I’m definitely not a pro … I know the game but I still make dumb mistake
I have a very fond memory of a big mistake I made
Oh yeah? What happened?
My opponent was playing necro and I had a couple of destroyers out (along with a medium sized fleet). I thought I had a chance because he had a bunch of ground forces participating in space combat. That is the day I learned that antifighter barrage only works against fighters and that those necro infantry don't count as fighter while participating in space combat.
Ahhhhh … lol! Yeah that’s a good lesson. I had a chance to Winslay the leader as Muatt but missed that I needed my space dock next to the system … I thought it was just units. So I got all setup and then … couldn’t do anything. Sigh.
European time zone here, but if that works for you, I'd be on board!
Mind if I ask your utc?
+2
I’m fine with it. I’m utc -8 but I’m on all the time
That's the beauty of async 😅
Cool … just one more
i think my second or third async game we had east coast us, west coast us, 2 in europe, and 2 aus. Some rounds the turn order was great and flew by. some rounds it always seemed the next person was asleep every time! but still super cool experience
Yeah I love that part of async
Need any more players?
You'd be the last
I’m in… though you’d need to show me the ropes of discord commands. That chill?
I’m pretty familiar with everything else in twilight imperium
I'm brand new to so no biggie
No worries … we have a few vets here so happy to point out the oddities of it.
Okay … let me see if I can launch this. It will prompt you to join a new server for the game
👍

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Due to Discord's limits on Role/Channel/Thread count, we need to create this game on another server.
Please use the invite below to join our AsyncTI4 (Fighter Club) server.
https://discord.gg/uSTGgxxg
The following players need to join the server:
@sleek halo
@cosmic anchor
You will be automatically added to the game channels when you join the server.
Note that if for some reason you are not automatically added to the game after joining the server, you can fix this by having one of the other game members run/game pingin the actions channel.

The bot hasn't finished processing the last task for making. Please wait.
I already clicked join so I may have to use the command
Seems like it processed but it’s not going all the way through for some reason. Maybe click create game?
I only have the join server option
Yeah … I now that that too. Hmmm … time to call in the pros
<@&1166011604488425482> We did the command to start the game but the server it sent us to didn’t fully setup the game
Rip
once you join, you should have a game already set up
or more truthfully the channels for the game set up
Yeah … it setup the chat and action channels but no commands there to start the draft
./milty setup
I don't even have the chat and action channels
could someone who does see them ping me there?
All I have is this:
hey is that still missing?
im trying to get to the bottom of this
We were able to get it sorted … not sure why it horked when we started but got some help getting everyone in and we are drafting now
thank you for the information
No it’s good now!
Could I ask a question about the bots used here?
It's more of a dev question than a bot help question.
if I know the answer
What language are they coded in? This seems like a cool project and I just so happen to enjoy a bit of coding.
