I’ve taken the liberty of making this after I noticed we were moved in position to eat but moved away before I could work my Beak magic. A simple, readily available nervous system can help us coordinate.

Slack feels too out-of-band, and EE’s messages are a little unwieldy…

Interesting.
I was wondering about our nervous system. Maybe the satisfaction reward could be adjusted into a stronger signal, at the risk of tearing ourselves in two.

I think we should

- move back to one of the reefs
- wait while pokes eats
- ocelluses scout surrounds looking for brine pools

We need a brine pool if we want to keep moving and not get stuck waiting for Viv to give us more weekly nutrients.

Also, people should give their micronium to pokes, and pokes should give their gonium to the statolith so that the Limbs can take and use it.

I’ve transferred one gonium to each limb. If we pass by a reef and I notice or get notified by the Ganglion I’ll eat.

just subscribing to the ganglion so I’ll get updates…

We don’t need a brine pool.
If we all wanted, we can get 40 nutrients every day now, and, given A Massive Appetite passes, 90. Granting that a brine pool would yield a maximum of g65 as opposed to g45, we aren’t dead in the water, far from it.

Actually, you’re right, I suppose if we moved to a reef and all became beaks briefly and each used a daily eating action, that’s… 12 * 6 = 72 - 24 for transforming in and out of beak state = 48, and then I guess we could get gonium with a pancreas.  Maybe eating should be a daily communal action.

You’re free to make a proposal and find out if it should.

I don’t know, I am thinking maybe a better way to deal with this is to penalize frequent state changes instead, which would also force us to work together more.  Reintroduce them as daily actions, maybe, or something more sophisticated.

I honestly don’t believe we would be stranded, ever, because a proposal to un-strand us would be super popular just to get the game going again.

What, no love for slack?

I suppose I’m on slack all day anyways, so its more convenient for me.

How about an embedded chatbox?

[Cuddlebeam]

Can we do that easily?

no idea

Stocked on Gonium, got plenty for a trip back to the brine pool if we need to, moved to the furthest location (Cuddlebeam’s Vent) to get exploringggg and give our eyes something to do.

There is no brine pool…

Found one.

We’re at the Brine Pool now

Also, we didn’t have those Gonium stocks because I messed up. They’re actually Miconium (ty Oracular for catching that)

I got us some gonium, scouted another vent, and moved us back to Cuddlebeam’s reef.  Pokes (or someone else who takes some micronium) can eat now.

Also, we are next to Sea of Eden.  Since Sea of Eden doesn’t have any terrain features, scouting that direction will produce a new one, even though the location is already named.

Missed this before midnight, but have now beaked the reef for March 12.

if we leave the Sea of Eden in-scouted, it could be an ideal place to lay eggs.

I want to turn into a gut but the GNDT won’t let me

It seems to be missing a lot of other possible organ states as well.

I think we’re ok for gonium for a while now.  I think I followed all the rules, let me know if I got something wrong.

we have SO MUCH GONIUM lol

I have no idea how this happened but:

Where do you access the idle check?

And of course its my account that gets borked. I have something of a curse in that area.

It’s at http://kevan.org/blognomic/whosidle.php (this and a few other useful game tools are listed at https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Useful_Links).

I made a simple “Do you have Fool’s Gold?” calculator thinger. It relies on assuming that the players are rational zombies that will always pick what will profit them, and not pick what won’t profit them. I hope it helps you with strategic play \o/
