All-Star Points are still being updated. Please bear with us as we get everything updated.

This is your Day Thread. Post here to your heart's content and perform Tribal Actions and Collections here.

Refer to the Master Thread for stats, resource pools, and more information.

New Tribal Actions have been unlocked.

Carrying the Tradition: If you fulfill the above ASP Opportunity without double posting, you may receive additional All-Star Points.

--------CONFESSIONAL--------

Prompt #1: Your Tribe performed worse in last cycle's Challenge. How will you rally in today's challenge?

Why the F wouldn't you claim the Ale IMMEDIATELY instead of mucking around misleading us and pretending it's not good?

Milky Dial Drink is gone, so you can scrap that one off the list.

Because I needed to make sure about what our chances of getting other Flavours would be.

Keep in mind that we had no other Sweet ingredients. If we had bad luck with whatever else we got, we could potentially have a final 0 value dish, or having to reduce points from all other dishes in order not have a 0 value one.
Besides, I wanted to see if Garp or Law would come aboard so we could pull this at the same time and reduce those risks.

It's still a waste of my time. Thanks.

So the next person to claim should go for the Cured Swordfish immediately. If it's the Tart 3, we're dandy. If not, they go for the Spinach.

That leaves us with

Savory 1 & 4 x Tart 5
Tart 2 & 3 OR Filling 2 & 3 x Salt 4
Sweet 5 x Filling 2 & 3 OR Tart 2

with one selection left, in which case we'll want to hit a Salt 1 or Sweet 1 if we're not picking up the Spinach.

What's the worst way we can sabotage them with our Spoiling Effect? I would guess we have a higher chance of hitting a priority item in the later claims they made, if they were using logic to try to deduce the optimal choices.

I would rather wait for Garp/Law before thinking about that. We need to know what their picks are so we can guess their items more accurately.

I think the Caesar Candy or the Syrup Licorice is the best option, since those each have about a 50% of being a 1. With ten items already an extra 5 will definitely push them over in some Flavor.

Another thing that I'm wondering: I guess despite having picked 10 items, they will probably use 9, right? Otherwise picking a 10th might be a double edge sword.

They only have to use nine. They can use a tenth if they wish, but generally speaking, 9 is required.

That's a pretty hard counter to my Spoiler, huh? They could conceivably just swap whatever it is out.

You guys notice this in the Main Thread?

You may perform the following actions ONLY if you have not performed any of the above.
You will not be able to perform any of the above actions after performing this one.
These actions require that two other players also perform the same action for it to succeed.
You may only perform these actions once per Day.

Prepare Feast - Cost: 20 Food, 10 Water, 10 Wood - Result: Creates 8 units of Tribe Item Tribe Feast. When consumed, one unit of Tribe Feast increases Hunger stat by 5 points.
Distill Water - Cost: 10 Food, 20 Water, 10 Wood - Result: Creates 8 units of Tribe Item Distilled Water. When consumed, one unit of Distilled Water increases Thirst stat by 5 points.
Build Shelter - Cost: 10 Food, 10 Water, 20 Wood - Result: Creates 8 units of Tribe Item Makeshift Shelter. When consumed, one unit of Makeshift Shelter increases Comfort stat by 5 points.

To perform Tribal Actions, post "Tribal Action: [Action Name]" in the Day thread.
If you wish to use a Tribe Item as part of your action, then post "Tribal Action: [Action Name] (Name of Tribe Item)" in the Day thread. Example: Tribal Action: Eat (Tribe Feast)

I'm not quite sure about this, if we, for example, build a shelter one day, will we have to wait till the next day to use it?

Either way, it's in our long-term best interests to invest in these. We can hold off on the Feast, because if we win this challenge, we should come into possession of quite a bit of food.

They seem to me to be mathematically worse than consuming resources with the regular Eat/Drink/Relax, but have the benefit of increasing them faster and distributing the resources.

For instance, the Feast costs 40 units and increases stats by a total of 40 points. Eating the same amount of Food would gain us 80 Hunger points but would take a lot longer. Seems like the real upshot is it gives us more time to sleep and recover Stamina.

People read the main post? I just skip straight to the important bits about how I can gain more points. The rest is too much reading for an old dog like me.

Hahaha you're right.

It's not like we're limited to one action a day. You can eat, drink, and relax to your fill one day, and then just sleep the next few. Lol.

Tomorrow I'll increase my drink/comfort, hopefully we'll have won some food too, so we can save on Food units.

As for today:

Tribal Action: Sleep

Yep, found the catch.

Apparently Day 7's challenge will require an investment of Hunger, Thirst, and Comfort. Best start investing in those and boosting them ASAP.

It's worth noting that the rules seem to prohibit Eating/Drinking/Relaxing while prepping, but not prepping multiple actions on the same day.

Sorry, everyone, I'm here and just finished reading through everything. Any preferences for what to claim next?
