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

cosmic anchor

#

Perfect! I can play tour guide.

#

First step … let’s ping the LFG to alert folks there’s a new game being formed

#

<@&947310962485108816>

cosmic anchor
#

😅I thought it automatically did that. Makes sense it doesn't though.

sour wagon
#

im na, looking for a new one

cosmic anchor
#

Sounds good

sour wagon
#

also not new to async though

cosmic anchor
#

Not of ti but of async

icy torrent
#

Weekends tend to be slower so may take a little bit to fill out the game

#

I’ll join if you have space

icy torrent
#

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)

#

So how many turns do people usually go through in a day with this mode?

sour wagon
#

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

icy torrent
#

Agreed

#

Round 5 also typically slows way down because ac cards have a higher chance of getting sabotaged, etc

cosmic anchor
#

Ah that makes sense.

sour wagon
#

draft and r1 can be done really fast. haha

#

no interactions except negotiating timings

cosmic anchor
#

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.

icy torrent
#

Vanilla PoK works for me

cosmic anchor
#

Awesome

icy torrent
#

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

sour wagon
#

base+pok is my preference as well

#

ive done a few scenarios and found them overwhelming haha

cosmic anchor
#

Any preference to what you guys play btw?

sour wagon
#

not really. depends on the draft

cosmic anchor
#

Understandable

sour wagon
#

you?

cosmic anchor
#

I've been looking at trying some of the factions I haven't ever played before. Maybe argent flight or arborec.

sour wagon
#

great! if others are okay with it we can seed the draft so those are in it

cosmic anchor
#

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.

sour wagon
#

its pretty straight forward. but not needed

cosmic anchor
#

Oh yeah I've Drafted for other stuff so it isnt brand new. Just never played twilight that way.

icy torrent
#

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

icy torrent
#

Especially if we’re not doing any scenarios you can take the base setup

#

(Also happy to help when we get to that step)

cosmic anchor
#

I was going to ask if you wouldn't mind yeah.

icy torrent
#

Yeah, absolutely. Once we have two more players I can launch it and get the draft rolling

cosmic anchor
#

So how long have you guys been playing ti?

icy torrent
#

Three years of TI … been doing async about four months now but have been pretty obsessive about it during that time

#

What about you?

cosmic anchor
#

I'm about the same. Though my number of games is low due to my pod moving.

icy torrent
#

Yeah I came over to async because my IRL group could only play a few times a year and I wanted more. lol

cosmic anchor
#

Ours is once or twice a year.

icy torrent
#

I think a lot of folks here have that experience

cosmic anchor
#

Though I am excited about the place I'm moving to. The local game shop has monthly in person twilight games.

icy torrent
#

Oooohhh nice!

cosmic anchor
#

It also helps that I'm going to have more free time being out of college.

icy torrent
#

lol … yeah that definitely helps

#

<@&947310962485108816> looking for two more players

cosmic anchor
#

Should I change the game name?

icy torrent
#

maybe add that it’s PoK? I think it’s fine but adding that detail doesn’t hurt

sour wagon
#

i have a group that plays about 2 times a year. then my async stuff for about the past year

cosmic anchor
#

Na tz, 6p, casual, new to async, pok

#

So I'm not just gonna fall over to experience. Atleast hopefully.

icy torrent
#

Yeah I’m definitely not a pro … I know the game but I still make dumb mistake

cosmic anchor
#

I have a very fond memory of a big mistake I made

icy torrent
#

Oh yeah? What happened?

cosmic anchor
#

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.

icy torrent
#

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!

cosmic anchor
#

I mean it could work you're about 7 hours ahead of me

#

Idk about everyone else

icy torrent
#

I’m fine with it. I’m utc -8 but I’m on all the time

lime thunder
#

That's the beauty of async 😅

cosmic anchor
#

Ok bet

#

Twilight across the world

icy torrent
#

Cool … just one more

sour wagon
#

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

icy torrent
sleek halo
#

Need any more players?

cosmic anchor
sleek halo
#

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

cosmic anchor
#

I'm brand new to so no biggie

icy torrent
#

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

sleek halo

#

The bot hasn't finished processing the last task for making. Please wait.

icy torrent
#

Looks like the bot is slowly working on it

#

Sometimes it gets stuck …

cosmic anchor
#

I already clicked join so I may have to use the command

icy torrent
#

Seems like it processed but it’s not going all the way through for some reason. Maybe click create game?

cosmic anchor
#

I only have the join server option

sleek halo
#

Same here

#

Actually I have two

#

I have two “Join the Server” options

icy torrent
#

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

cosmic anchor
#

Rip

runic plinth
#

once you join, you should have a game already set up

#

or more truthfully the channels for the game set up

icy torrent
#

Yeah … it setup the chat and action channels but no commands there to start the draft

runic plinth
#

./milty setup

cosmic anchor
#

I don't even have the chat and action channels

runic plinth
#

could someone who does see them ping me there?

sleek halo
#

All I have is this:

thick wadi
#

im trying to get to the bottom of this

icy torrent
#

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

thick wadi
#

thank you for the information

sleek halo
#

No it’s good now!

cosmic anchor
#

It's more of a dev question than a bot help question.
