Conquer Club

The Cheshire Cats just won the Poker Club - does that really mean we get 14 credits from the Taxes?

Is it possible, regarding jail, to roll the dice for doubles, and if we don't get them, pay 6 cr and take whatever the roll might be as a move? Or must we pay 5 cr before we roll?

One more question - as the winners at the Conquer Club, "Services", we get to make one proposal for a trade - how does that work? Let's say we make a trade proposal to a team and they reject it? Or do we get to keep negotiating with that team or other teams until we reach some sort of deal, approved by the TD, of course.

I am a lawyer, so I hope you will forgive all the questions. Is there a screen / place where we can see what "properties" (territories) each team currently holds, like a collection of "deeds"? If we need to put together a proposal for a trade, that would be very helpful. Thanks - don't think like Shakespeare, please - it is not time to kill all the lawyers!

Are we on "pause" in this one?

Ok so firstly, the POT was only 4 cr when the game started, that's why you saw 14cr into taxes but splitted into the next case into 4cr + 10cr.

Then, you don't win anything there, you've been selected to play VS the other team. You only try to win this game and make sure PLUNKA doesn't win the pot.

Regarding JAIL, you have to tell what you want to do BEFORE you play dice. So it's based on luck and tactic
Do you want to try a double, and maybe fail and pay 1 cr for many rounds until you can see a double.
Or do you prefer to pay 5cr directly and make sure you exit the place.

Same thing, here on poker club you've been selected to play VS PLUNKA, but you cannot win anything and cannot make any trade proposal.
Only PLUNKA can.

Once you start a TRADE PROPOSAL with a team, and include one or more properties in the trade, you must end the proposal with the SAME PROPERTIE(S).

E.g. First proposal is : Team X, what would you like in exchange of PROPERTY Greenland (as an example).
They answer you : 10 Cr or your Germany. We have also interest for your RAILWAY africa.

You can :
1/ exchange Greenland for 10cr
2/ exchange Greenland for Germany (+ or not cr)
3/ exchange Greenland for Railway africa (+ or not cr)
4/ stop the trade

You cannot :
1/ exchange Railway africa for credits (nothing done with Greenland here) because this property wasn't in the first proposal.

Then, the properties shown in the very first Trade Proposal, MUST BE in the final TRADE.
You can keep discussing on thread for 48 hours about conditions.
Is it clearer?

disappointing - it seems there should be some reward to the team chosen to play in Services if they win. What would have happened to us if we lost? - same exact thing? This is rife for collusion - at least the other team would have gotten something instead of just wasting time in the game.

We will pay the 5 Crs to get out of jail. IMHO the rules relating jail need revising to make it less onerous - but that is just my opinion.

So we won a game and get nothing for it and we spent 30 + days in jail, and still have to pay 5 credits to spring ourselves.

Please understand, I do not have sour grapes - we are seeing the rules as applied, and are happy (well at least resigned) to follow them. Just think more thought might want to be given to them.

We will pay the 5 credits

Just another (whimsical) thought here, but how about a third way to get out of jail - winning the Supermax Prison Riot!! We just diid that so it feels like we are "BUSTIN OUT" - hopefully the 2 dice that get rolled will cover our 5 credits to be freed.

I am really enjoying this tournament - thanks a lot DJENRE for all you do.

Well you are not the team who went into services, PLUNKA is.
If you had lost, then PLUNKA won and took the pot

And yes, the JAIL is the last place to be, you can die there. And I told it into rules !
BUt like you know, all rules can be changed for next tournament, as this one is a "test".

Hum, yes why not? But meeting somebody else in Jail will not happen really often!



JAIL
You arrive in JAIL if you played bad pair dice or if you've drawn a wrong ? card
You pay 1 Cr each round until you make a pair dice.
You can pay directly 5 Cr to exit, regardless the dice.
Exit is made by the START point. No credit is given of course! You're not passing the START.

If 2 teams meet in JAIL, they will play a double game on SUPERMAX PRISON RIOT!
The winner take X Cr from the other team! (X is given by 2 dices!).
The looser has been robbed!
Remember the JAIL -with this gameplay- will be the latest place to be! You could die there...

Also, because you won the SUPERMAX, you earn 2 dices x CR from the other team.

Dice are 4-3, you earn then 7 cr from GONG

Ok bobby, you're pretty unlucky, I know.
You paid your 5cr and you draw a double 3
And only because the previous dice were used to know how many credits were earned after supermax....

This is the list of dice :
4 - 3 - 4 (Avg: 3.66666666667) SUPERMAX
3 - 3 -5(Avg: 3.66666666667)
1 - 2 - 5 (Avg: 2.66666666667)


Now you're supposed to play again with 1-2

You hold the next station so the question is : Where do you move?

You know your possibilities?

How do i buy the map thats being offered in my in box

DJENRE - I realize this is a test so that is why I have suggested some changes. Here are the 3 so far I think should happen:

1) If in jail and win Supermax, you get out for free - Jail Break/Escape/ like a get out of jail free card.

2) When rolling for doubles, and in jail, if you fail, then you can pay the 5 credits and still move that turn.

3) There should be a turn limit for jail - 6 turns so it least it costs one credit if you try for doubles and fail for 6 turns.

4) If forced to place in Services, you should get the same results as if you went in on your own just like you win or lose a territory after a battle on a map.

I will post separately where I think we can move with a 1-2.

OOPS - that was 4!!

DJENRE, until today, I could see the board just fine. Now it disappeared - I did a MacBook update this morning - I wonder if that could have affected things? I see the log of moves, but not the map, so don't know the options we have to move.

Okay - I was able to look at the map. I think we have two options - either Soviet Union or Thailand. If I am correct, we take Thailand. If there is another option, please advise.

What are you reffering to?
I don't understand

I've noted all. Thank you for those, everything will be discussed at the end of course.

I have no idea why....

Yes you're right, but because Soviet Union is already taken by another pawn, you move to next square wich is GREATER CHINA.

Do you still want to move to THAILAND then?
Whatever you choose, you'll start a game.

Okay, understand - either Greater China or Thailand. I want to discuss this with my teammate - we fight a war either way. We may still pick Thailand since we have a little experience on that earlier. 24 hours?

We will move to Greater China
