Clarifying Gamestate

There appears to have been a lot of editing and reediting the GNDT, because Explorers are in disagreement regarding the precise cost of every action. Here is a summary of what happened.

* On 25/05, Galean changed his Dog Team to A, even though there was no Dog Team A previously. I believe that is legal, because “An Explorer may change their Dog Team at any time if they share the same Camp as all other Explorers belonging to the Dog Team they are changing to.”, and since there were no Explorers in Dog Team A, the assertion “Galean shares the same camp as all other Explorers belonging to Dog Team A” is true.

* On 28/05, Card made a combo post https://blognomic.com/archive/combo_setting_up_a_hub to create Boot Camp at Latitude 82°. This cost him all of his 10 initial Supplies (5 Supplies for 5° traveled, 3 Supply to set up Camp, and 1 Supply to move back to Base Camp). Then he transfered 10 Supplies from Base Camp to himself, increasing his Debt by 10. I believe he made a mistake and accidentally spent one Supply too much.

* On 30/05, Galean paid one supply to move himself and his two teammates Publius Scribonius Scholasticus and Cuddlebeam from Base Camp to Boot Camp. Publius Scribonius Scholasticus later change his and Cuddlebeam’s locations back to Base Camp, stating that the abduction was illegal.

* On 30/05, I (Cpt_Koen) moved from Base Camp to Boot Camp, using rule Dog Team to avoid spending any Supplies.

* On 30/05, Publius Scribonius Scholasticus deposited 1 Supply to Boot Camp (I think so. I’m not sure)

* On 30/05, orkboi spent 1 Supply to travel to Boot Camp, then deposited 5 Supplies to Boot Camp.

* On 30/05, I (Cpt_Koen) deposited 5 Supplies to Boot Camp.

* On 31/05, Card spent 1 Supply to move to Boot Camp, then deposited 2 Supplies to Boot Camp. After several correction of his and other Explorers’ Supplies because of some confusion as to which rule was Very Cold, he ended up at 8 Supplies, which doesn’t appear consistent with spending 1 Supply + depositing 2 Supplies.


Total Supplies deposited to Boot Camp:
PSS + orkboi + Cpt_Koen + Card = 1 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 13.

You missed one.
*On 29/05 the rule Supplies #1 was moved outside of Base Camp.

Ah that was a mistake, you know how the GNDT keeps values from the last edit? Well I edited Gaelan’s to 9 then moved back reducing the 9 value that it kept to 8.

The supply value on Boot Camp is wrong because you didn’t update it when you added 5 supplies!

Oops. Done. Now Boot Camp has 14 Supplies (Gaelan transfered 1 as well).

I’ve transferred one supply now too. I’m not going to give more but I’m up for Handymanning out of my own pocket a rule to make the Dog Sleds worth more (Carry more Rules perhaps? I’m up for suggestions).

Did you pay the cost for transferring that supply? That action is defined in a Very Cold rule you know.

You could change the numeral in “If an Explorer’s Location is a Latitude they may spend 1 supply” to 0 and make Latitudinal movement free. It would make setting up distant camps easier in case another Handyman undoes that. Just an idea though.

Ah shiet. Ok, paying that extra. Damn.

Also, good idea.
