##GM as the scientist, if I rush a piece of research/technology, do I have to rush whatever is at the front of the queue? Or could I, for example, set up a queue thus:

Research queue:
1. Farming Tool 1
2. Mining 1
##Rush Mining 1

So that research 1 is done as normal, taking one phase, and research 2 is then rushed (takes 1 phase fewer than 1 = 0 phases), meaning they are both completed at the same time?

If not, then am I right that there is no value in rushing a Lvl 1 research/tech?

Sup. Nice to see people are active

((
#Tech and Research#
Please open the tech tree and research tree documents HERE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1njPqXSUJdW-UQts1IpKb2-jR-ZsfPYQTim0TdvDA2l4/edit?usp=sharing

In this you will see the current tech and research available to your council. Levels correspond to phases needed to research. Thus a Level 1 tech will take 1 phase and Level 4 tech will take 4 phases. You may research one of each (research and tech) per phase and have in your queue up to 5 at any given time. When your a charcter rushes a tech he completes 1 phase of the research on that tech; not necessarily completing it. You must follow the highlighted paths in order to unlock; as an example you must research Natural Med 1 before you research Natural Med 2. ))

Heath Edward: Also we have 300 people and 500 food. I think we keep forgetting that Rick says we dont need to use food this phase. But food spoils at the end of each phase too.

I maybe am not understanding right but doesnt that mean our 500 food will go bad on the journey unless we unlock drying asap?

##GM is our 500 food going to be spoiled at the end of phase?

@Brain thanks for re-posting that bit. I'm just not clear on what happens if a Lvl 1 tech is rushed? Do we get it as soon as I say "rush X"? How can a tech that takes one phase take less than one phase?

And if that's not the case, and all techs are received at the end of a phase, is there a way that I can make sure I get two Lvl 1 techs at once - one that is rushed and the other that progresses normally?

**Caltain Rick**
Research rushing takes no order but a researches tech must already be in your queue. So for example you can not ##Rish war college and add the war college to the tech queue at the same time. You'd have to wait until the following phase when war college is processed into the queue to rush it.

In regards to food the 500 we have on us is non-perishable however it's life span will not last past phase 3.

@Byron. Right, that makes sense. So this phase, we are travelling, and we won't get any techs at the end of it. Because all we can do this phase is add things to the queue, after which they will take a phase to be researched?

We cant build. I am certain we cam research and have a science fest below deck. We may lose a beaker or two to the swaying seas.

Phase 1 (this phase) - set your queues for research and tech
Phase 2 (travel phase) - rush research of you want and research will be completed.
Phase 3 (landing) - your first completed research is available at phase start.

Proposal 1.3.1 Amended
Research Queue : Farming Tools 1. -> Farming Tools 2
Tech Queue: Food Storage 1 -> Drying

##Second Proposal 1.4 - Kench's Proposal

Thanks Rick. And just to be clear, because I am being thick as anything today, when does phase 1 end? In 2 hours or 50 hours?

##Second Prop 1.3

Or rather ##Second Prop 1.3.1

((Should end on Sunday at 2pm. ))

Heath Edward: Why would we need a Captain, an Admiral and a Luietenant

I like adding him but he isnt battle tested. Hes basically branimir lol

2PM Sunday. EST

We don't need all three. We have the Colonel (not Captain - he's probably fairly strict about getting that right) who can train soldiers quickly. And we should take either the Admiral or the Lieutenant for their additional ATK and DEF stats for the colony.

They both have their pros and cons. The Admiral is battle hardened but liable to lash out. The Lieutenant is well trained and ready for this new life, but is untested (though, theoretically, very capable).

Personally, I favour the Lieutenant, because he matches my view that we should make this colony something new and ready to embrace new ideas. That is also why I was in favour of naming this colony New Webdipia. The admiral, with his Kings support, represents holding on too tightly to the old world... That is ultimately the question.

##Proposal 1.6 Make this journey about founding a new world, that embraces the precepts of the old but forges something even greater, in the name of the King.
- Hire the Lieutenant
- Name the colony New Webdipia

##GM Note

The vote tracker behaves exactly as it is intended to. Since y2k was replaced with ND some 3 hours into day 2, there is a column for y2k. In case he had voted during day 2 before being replaced, that would be visible in that column. Now y2k did not place any votes in those 3 hours, so not this is only indicating exactly this fact that he did not. We want full tracability for all votes!

Thanks Peter!

Just to be clear, you may want to repost that in the Mafia thread ;)

Um what? Lol Peter this isnt the mafia thread

Ok sorry!! I just noticed my mistake! :/

@Peter feel free to join whenever you want ;)

《《 Redundancy, already approved in 1.4》》

##Capt. Rick
Are there any ways/things that reduce corruption other than Religious leaders?

**Pickle Rick**
Absolutely, however none come to mind right now. Maybe some buildings or institutions once we land. But religious leaders are the easiest way.

IT IS OFFICIAL CLOCK TIME: THE NEXT 48 HOURS ARE ALL YOU HAVE DECISIONS NOT MADE WILL BE PROCESSED AS INACTION.

##Nay to Proposal 1.1: Hire Nain Rouge.

##Nay to Proposal 1.4; how can you hire Foreman Killian but not purchase a Mining Kit? This is madness. You are trying to man a Warship with Economists.

##Yay to 1.5, but I would advise to remove the line regarding taxation of the church. Father Abba brings so much to the table already. The other conditions are fair.

I'll submit ##Proposal 1.6:
* Spend 400 gold to purchase a Mining Kit.
* Hire Patrick Killian and allow him to bring his son. Agree to pay him 10 silver per phase.##

This may seem redundant, but this proposal will be easier to agree upon amongst ourselves. After that, we will tabulate what is left and how to spend that.


I am willing to accept Proposal 1.2.1 as well if that is popular or if someone can explain to me why spices and wool are a necessity.

##vote yes to 1.5
##vote yes to 1.3.1 amended
