Game #1

[rexxefa]

So what do you have in mind for this game? And have you talked to Joshua yet? I'm still waiting on bandage man to create room for joshua and me.

Also, it might be great to create a "temporary" group, incase one of us gets the convict card. So they atleast have a trust to trade with one of us.

And I guess one of a "dirty" way to do it is IF one of us get a convict card and trade it with someone, we could tell other players that that person have the convict card and don't trade with him/her

I haven't talked to Joshua, but I did confirm with Lukas about us working together. Lukas told me that he could provide us with insight to this game 'cos he played this game before. He thinks we should play a little bit safe for this game.

Yeap sounds good. But who does that group include? What do you think about working with Arnold? He approached me earlier about working together and he's trying to pull in a couple of people too. Then we can easily have a 7 people majority.


That strategy works. Personally, I'm just thinking of getting a group of people and stick to this group and do internal trading as long as all of us dont have the convict cards. Since there is no downside to not trading anyways, and getting 0 points or 2 points have no difference.

[rexxefa]

Well I tried to rally up Joseph too, but bandage man still haven't gave us our rooms yet, and now he's offline But yea, we should probably get together with Lukas and probably Arnold.

Also, if we want to keep loyal to that group, I have another thought if we end up with the convict card from the start.

If we got that card, lie about being a commoner, and try to officially trade that card to a noble. Then chat with that now-convict ad tell them to do the same thing with someone outside of our group. Then tell the rest of our group to ignore that person.

I'm hoping to work with you long term, which is why I'm telling you all of this. And hopefully joshua if I finally get a chance to talk with him

[ethynol]

Ahh alright. Hope we can get the rooms soon and get things planned out with the other few. '

That sounds good. I guess we could do that. Just hope it doesnt put us in a bad light moving forward.

Yep I have the same sentiments too. I want to go far with a few that I could trust.

[rexxefa]

I asked lukas, he said it's better to group up with around 4-5 people. So do you know how many people did arnold have?

[ethynol]

Lukas told me that too, that seemed like a safer strategy for us.

Arnold seemed to be thinking of a strategy involving more people, like 7, and he is trying to get a mass joint win. Im trying to see if I can just pull him alone in, but he hasn't confirmed with me anything yet.


But ultimately, we have to wait till the cards are released before we can actually start forming the alliances. We could just get a feel of the others for now. You still dont have a room with the rest right?

[rexxefa]

Yea, I still haven't. Anyway, I just thought of a safe strategy with 5 people that'll secure us 3 points minimum. But, it also involves the convict card. I'm currently trying to find the probability with 6 people.

So I think in our group this game there should be you, me, lukas, joshua (if you still want the whole SE asia team), and arnold if you could get him alone here. If not, my choice is joseph if I ever get the room.

[rexxefa]

Oh and about the people we're not too sure, I'm gonna ask Lukas if he got 2 other people with him to be in this group, probably as an alternate

[ethynol]

If we have 5 and with a noble card, we can get 4 points each - Each person trades with 2 as commoners and 2 as nobles. So we can get it without the convict card.

I was talking to Trevor, and he seems to be inclined to be working with me, you and Lukas, that makes us a group of 4.

[rexxefa]

if one person trade with 2 as a commoner and 2 as a noble, wouldn't each person only be able to get 2 points? Also, the convict card and the score isn't really that important, it's just a solution I found if we had that convict card. And I talked to Joshua, but he haven't replied yet. So if he agrees, we got 5!

EDIT: Also, I guess we still have to see what cards does we have, in case all 5 of us got commoner. So I guess making a group based on 5 solid people alone wouldn't work, in case of said circumstance.

[ethynol]

hmm whoops i read it wrongly. I thought commoners trading with nobles was 2 points.. Then you're right. Honestly, in this game, Im not that keen in getting the garnet, my priority is to stay alive. Im guessing if 2 points cant get us the joint win, I'm okay with giving up my points so that someone else can get one. (Lets just hope MM2 isnt garnet match)


Thats great! Well, lets hope that does not happen, but it'd be quite funny if it does hahaha. After I got my card I'd let you know and we'll see what we can work out

[rexxefa]

So what do you get? I got a commoner. And joshua said that he got noble, and currently looking for a trade. You want to group up with me, lukas, trevor and josh?

[ethynol]

Heyy, I've got a Noble. That sounds good, but we'll see what the rest get as well. I guess it'd be good if we can work together.

[rexxefa]

Okay then, so we atleast have a commoner and a noble. So I guess I'll talk to lukas and you talk to trevor, and ig we both agree let's make a room with them and josh. Then we'll discuss the trade up. Sounds good?

[ethynol]

Yepp that sounds good. seems like we are going for the 2 points a piece thing then. Btw, any idea who has the convict?
