BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

I think some cap is probably a good call, to prevent someone from just firing off a ton of moves at once, but might not need to limit it to 2 maybe something like 5?

Yeah, I like what Clucky said. I’d say 5 or 6 is a good call.

Makes sense, although, there’s nothing really stopping someone from firing off a bunch of Cog or Box-based moves, either. I think actions are already mostly constrained by the fact that each Machine can only run once. No matter how much Energy you stockpile, at most you can run 6 Spins/Presses, and then have nothing to use the boxes for anyway.

I can appreciate that the three Greenhouse players here can’t do much with Energy and would prefer to be able to stockpile some for later, but the existing cap of 2 seems fine to me.

To underline that, after Cuddlebeam was critical of Josh affecting the status quo by proposing to cap Things in a later proposal: the first moves of the dynasty were people choosing which way to jump on “build Machines to exploit the transient 2 Energy flow” or “ignore the transient Energy flow and grow Sugar”.

This proposal is saying that the Energy should actually no longer be transient after all, and instead stockpileable - an advantage to Sugarcube players (who are currently missing out on the Energy gain and might find a use for it later), and little or no advantage to Energy players (who have prepped their machinery to use the Energy as it comes).

I guess cov per Kevan, if we’re doing sugar vs non sugar

per Kevan

I’d be for this if it was still capped as a way for players who miss a round to catch up, but in its current form

Actually cov
