>>6094336NAME: The Club of Abnormal Phenomena (C.A.P.)COLOUR: MaroonSTARTING VILLE: Right around where Port Hedland is on here.FLUFF: Back in their home country of Great Britain, there was a problem. A major problem.The prisons were simply too full. While they could put a lot of low skill prisoners to great use by being pawned off to wealthy patrons as slaves, The Powers That Be realized that they could use the more skilled prisoners for something greater.They have found that there is that large empty expanse of land thousands on thousands of miles away from their own territory that has seemingly not been settled. There seems nothing inherently wrong about the land so The Powers That Be have proposed a hypothesis: Here Be Dragons. Or, at least, some sort of unexplainable phenomena that has left the place barren. If there is such phenomena there, perhaps there can be profit to be made here.To test out this hypothesis, they sent a ship filled with prisoners. While a majority are low skilled, a small leading force of former academics, doctors, and holy men and women were also sent along to research whatever might be waiting at this island.They were given one goal: To study and research the continent in an attempt to find any supernatural, abnormal, or anomalous phenomena that could be of great use to the Empire. If they could find enough objects, creatures, or phenomena of use to the Empire? Whoever survives would be pardoned of their crimes.

The heat is far more than what we have ever experienced back in the bosom of Great Britain. A lot of the less...enlightened souls are complaining about having to work in the heat. I pity them but only as much as you can pity those who were arrested for petty crimes. We will not be getting food rations for another six months at minimum if not more, so we must explore.PLAN OF ACTION: We shall go south, staying close to the coast.

>>6094336-The Fellowship-Green-AucklandThe world is changed.I feel it in the water.I feel it in the earth.I smell it in the air.Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.It began with the producing of the Great Films. Three were given to Peter Jackson, immoral, widest and hairiest of all beings. Three were given again to the Del Toro, before he did bow out and pass these again to Peter Jackson. And eight, eight shows in multiple series were gifted to the company of Amazon, who above all else desire power without responsibility. For within these films was bound the strength and the will to govern each era.But they were all of them deceived, for another film was made. Deep in the land of Nippon, in the Shadow of Mount Fuji, the Lord Kenji Kamiyama forged an Anime, and into this ring he poured his imagination, his tropes and his will to dominate all Media franchises.One film to rule them all...

Great job so far, OP.Do we have a time table so players can avoid missing rounds?Also +1 vote for OP to rethink the bonuses, especially the special rolls.> Consider using hard/static bonuses for dubs/trips/straights/palindromes.> Otherwise you get some funky / counterintuitive getsIn many cases it is worse to roll a ABC straight. (1/5 of the ABC straights results in '0' tiles gained)60% of the dubs gets are worse than non-special rolls.(I think a 0033 should be better than 0008, because its a dubs) Trips rolls can be beaten by non-special rolls.(0111 ties with any nonspecial ***0)Yet, some trips can beat some quads.(3333 = 20 tiles ; 0444 = 24 tiles)Only 10 quads on a 10,000 sided die yet most result in less than 50

There are 20 straight-4 (ABCD)>OP has it such that 5/20 of these rolls result in 0 tiles gained. There are 90 palindrome-4s (X Y Y X)>9 of these rolls also result in 0 tiles gained. Lastly, and the most egregious in my opinion, is the quads. Only 10 in the game. Probability is 8/100 of 1% to get such a roll. >current ruleset results in +20 (at worse) and +60 (at best, w/0000) >There are more x-y-z straights that give bigger gets (+72)Sorry for the walls of text.The USA Risk thread continued for 40+ days, so I believe it's worthwhile to think this through. >>6095405>If someone counts the territories, I can calculate fair gets per rolls (in accordance with the probabilities for a 1d9999 on this map)

<><><><>As the dawn bled into night, on the inside of a certain ship, it was then found that a quiet had come upon the many crews gathered on a New Caledonia that baptized its many ships and newly made ports with its waters. Today they sailors were gathered together for a vote, as Pirate Republics are wont to do when a great choice is before them. From the multitude a young man came forward and began to speak to the crowd."We've come here today to find our fortune. And found it we have!" Cheers erupted once again, and the man waited for the crowd to settle down before continuing."If anyone had said before we came to these islands that the world would come to us and willingly give us coin for nothing but laying on the sand and eating coconuts, we'd call them mad and make them walk the plank." Laughter sounded from a few at that "But here we are. Just outside one can see people coming and going, the fat of their pockets going directly to our coffers! And I ask you now" he paused for a moment and looked around "why should we want more than that?" a murmur spread to the congregation, some agreeing and some not. And from a shadow another man frowned deeply, matching the young man's enthusiasm with it."Why should we take more? The fight ahead would be bloody, and the price of victory meaningless if we lose what we have. Who here would risk it all just for something as frail as-" but his words were brought to an abrupt end, as he was shot dead. Near chaos started to unfold, but this was brought to an end by another gunshot and the yell of a man with a voice like grating metal."Fools!" and like that all was quiet once more as another man stepped forth, the captain of many ships, with a pistol in hand "Have ye forgotten the meanin' 'o plunder and glory? Ye would give it all away fer what: an office job, countin' numbers while ye sit down 'n forget who ye once were?" he spun around with accusations "Ye cabin boys! Would Blackbeard be here, he would send ye all down to Davy Jones' locker! So then, let us bring back the Old Ways like our brethren in other shores, who plundered and looted the seven seas with tales that made 'em live forever. Who be with me!"Another third silence came down, not like the one before or the one prior to that. Hands were raised, the symbol of a vote in favor among the Free Corsairs, and not many after that. It was not a majority, maybe a plurality at best, but it was enough to send a message.More figures would soon seek to defy this fate.<><><><>
<><><><>The day after, within a tugboat docked by Fiji's shore, a Quartermaster shook himself awake. The events prior had spread like wildfire among the pirate networks, with some agreeing and some not, with many brawls and deaths as a consequence. He knew the Captain well, for he was his very own Quartermaster. While he took all the glory, that 'number counting' he spoke of was what gave the Captain such influence. But these mere insults were nothing compared to the most egregious idea of his; because early this morning an invasion of the British was detailed in the Captain's orders. In many respects, that had been the last straw for this nameless man who worked under him.In another irony of fate, this Quartermaster would seek out to kill his own Captain and seize control for himself. He had the means to do it; countless hours of contingency planning prepared him for that.Later accounts would find that this Quartermaster did not disagree fully with either the Captain or the young man whose life he took that fateful night. A balance had to be struck, not against an impossible foe like British Empire whose power would slowly strangle the Free Corsairs even if this expedition was extinguished, nor would it do good to stagnate with what they have while others become stronger. Perhaps a more manageable foe could be found, right beneath their noses from film sets to movie theaters, living in holes beneath the ground.<><><><>
<><><><>Of the many that would oppose the captain, in a clandestine hotel not far from last night's shakeup, was a group of men sat in a circle and spoke in hushed tones. These were the Council of Eight, seven ex-privateers who sought to find their freedom in the Free Corsairs. To them the way of life under the Pirate Republic was an end to itself, as brutal and ruthless as it was. And they did not like the direction things were going, to say the least.It was no secret that the Captain would plan to either waste his time fighting the Redcoats or the Fellowship. Neither posed as much of a threat as the Menace from the west, whose tyranny would destroy their precious autonomy. Their style reminded them of the Captain, to their collective amusement.While individually they would be nothing to speak of, together they made more than a third of the pirate fleets. And they would use this force to tip the scales in whatever power struggle comes about.But for now they whispered lamenting the young man who had been torn from their ranks too soon. While his ideas were not supported by the rest, his boldness cost him the ultimate price. And the more radical of them spoke of nonaggression with the Redcoats and Hobbits, in deals whose Devils they would soon play the part of.<><><><>

From this it came to their awareness that both factions wanted the same thing: for the Captain to disappear. It was easy, especially with the backing provided by their Anglo benefactors, to either slip some poison in the Captain's food or drink. Much less messy than the original plan of simply shooting or cutting him down. It would only take for a single gulp of wine and the Captain would breathe no more. But it was now was a race to secure a greater position. The wheel of fate doesn't wait for conspiracies, and to the Captain's grasp was a Trident bearing holy power. Now any dissent was made impossible with the blessing of Neptune on his side, and the Captain would go down in history as legend so long as things continued as they did. And so, another meeting was held between the three different factions.But behind the shadows pirates plotted, waiting for the opportune moment when one would be proven wrong.And history showed that->The Quartermaster found his glory with clever assassinations and was able to whip the whole of the pirates into his methodical ideas.>The Council of Eight out maneuvered the Quartermaster and Captain, then used their power to guide the fleets as they pleased.>The Captain purged his enemies and used the chaos to make his word law.>The Captain, Quartermaster, and the Council of Eight come to an agreement after some back and forth.

>>6099796I'd argue that it's mostly because of my bonus in Free Water Travel and you having to island hop across tons of little islands things ended up like they did. My focus all game has been in defending and taking little islands and free water travel at the cost of not having many bonuses to dice, so I assume the QM used that as a reference for how I want to attack and which battles I want to defend.If it makes you feel better you don't have any penalty for the islands you just crossed anymore. So even when you say you'll lose that's really just up to the dice, but since you have a better bonus I think the odds are in your favor because of the huge land mass of WNG-PNG I'll need to go through if I want any hope of winning.
Rolled 6132 (1d9999)>>6099727The fury of billion beaks will fall upon the hobbit and drive them over the sea
>>6099866>If it makes you feel better you don't have any penalty for the islands you just crossed anymoreIt seems I do, because I had that penalty for all of my previous roll where we fought on the large island, which I was already on. I'm at a constant 50% strength at you and there's no way I can win. And I will lose, I had the second best roll possible and it got me 9 provinces. There is no way I can beat you at all if the 50% is taken from the initial attack rather than when I cross the water.
>>6099871>I'm at a constant 50% strength at youFor this turn yes and and also the turns you go into a new water crossing, but not the turns after those. It was just very unlucky for you that the penalty for water crossing happened when you got the second best roll in the game. You no longer should have that penalty for the water crossings you've already crossed after this turn.

I graciously invite you to a non aggression pact so we dont need to waste warriors in the outback between us. There are fresher meats to feast upon.
>>6099881The issue is if I don't get the roll again then I can't do anything to you and just have to wait for you to finally conquer me. I don't see a path to victory for me without repeated insane rolls. Also what would have happened if you rolled higher that me? Would I still have taken the malus despite us having a land border?
>>6099967SCROLL FROM BLESSED PRIEST, FATHER THOMASDATE: 10/10/2024RESPONSE: War is not something we are interested in. For now, we shall accept due to our main interest being in expansion and discovering artifacts. Have this perfectly generic object as payment for you not bothering us in the future.Do not ask what color nor shape it is. Even God doesn't know. We just know the anomalous artifact exists.
>>6100002>The issue is if I don't get the roll again then I can't do anything to you and just have to wait for you to finally conquer me.I personally see it a bit differently. Even if the crossing penalty stops you for a turn you'd be able to cross the ocean without the same penalty next turn, so I'd have to blitz you and try my best in not turning this into a war of attrition (since after the first turn you'd not have the penalty anymore and my free ocean travel bonus would be useless).But if I'm wrong and you need to actually conquer the tile/island to stop the malus, then I'm guessing you'd need to have and keep the Free Water Travel I have in order to negate the malus in full. Which if true more than makes up for how painful it felt to expand through the islands from Fiji lmao>Also what would have happened if you rolled higher that me? Would I still have taken the malus despite us having a land border?I assume we would just fight normally then without you getting the malus since you wouldn't be the one attacking in that situation.
>>6100029>Even if the crossing penalty stops you for a turn you'd be able to cross the ocean without the same penalty next turnNo, it's the first crossing each turn. So this malus never goes away for our battles. No matter what I'm at 1/2 power against you, you are equal to two nations.>I assume we would just fight normally then without you getting the malus since you wouldn't be the one attacking in that situation.So if I got less that you last roll then I wouldnt get halfed? What if I got 18 to your 12? It means I'd beat you, but because I beat you it'd get halfed, which means you get a higher score, which means I get my full bonus and I beat you. It's a loop, it's broken.

>>6100035>No, it's the first crossing each turn.I'm mostly getting what I'm saying from the "subsequent crossings do not", which I think means once you cross and/or try to cross in water travel you won't have the malus anymore for that specific crossing from then on.>What if I got 18 to your 12?I'm assuming you'd push me out of the land areas, but you wouldn't be able to go across the water until next turn, and your malus wouldn't be there for that specific crossing anymore for your.>>6100048I kneel.
>>6100068It talks about subsequent in relation to the first crossing each turn, rules as written means the malus doesn't go away.
>>6100076If that's true then you're right, but I thought that "First Crossings in a turn halves the get value, subsequent crossings do not" meant that the crossing malus wasn't there after you traveled/tried to travel through water towards a specific place once. I mean you're right you can't roll again in the same turn, making "subsequent crossings do not" impossible in the same turn so I assumed it was meant for every turn after the first crossing was made in a prior turn.Although QMOP ultimately has the final say, so we can just wait for the QM to clarify things.

<><><><>Saying the situation was bad for the Pirate Republic of Oceania would be an understatement. Morale had plummeted, there was constant faction backstabbing, and the self styled Free Corsairs were now driven back to Fiji and New Caledonia, the places where it all began. The latter of these islands would be presented by the Council of Eight (now down to four) as a bargaining chip for any foreign power's assistance, in an act of desperation. The Council had been stretched thin after the Warlord Republic had driven them back. The Quartermaster didn't fare much better, having lost an eye and gained less sleep with each passing day. The Captain was rarely seen out of his quarters since the loss of Neptune's Trident, a wound to his pride that ran deep.However, this would change after a swelling of their ranks from the most unlikely of places - the tourists.Men, and even women, from all around the world would be enamored by the lifestyle and romanticism of being a buccaneer. While reality was much different, the swelling of numbers (and the money they brought, more specifically) would stem the tide of the Horde.Indeed, the people that were once seen as an afterthought at best were now granting the pirates what could possibly be the turning of the tide in this war. The irony wasn't lost on the Captain when he heard the news.<><><><>

I probably should've tried to ally with the BEF or the Eco Villains. Maybe I should've invaded them, or allied with the Emus and invaded the Hobbits, but I didn't want to gang up or bully a weaker player than myself. I'm paying for that line of thought, kekAs for something that might be more fair, maybe instead of halving the roll it could just be a -10 roll or something similar for the first time someone tries to cross the waters, and nothing else.
<><><><>The honeymoon period for the pirates directly after the recruitment of the tourists wouldn't last, and their inexperience would lead to many preventable mistakes in the ensuring battles. Selling territory would grant relief through foreign assistance, but this would only slow their inevitable fall.This did not change the strange glee and celebration that marked the last days of the Pirate Republic, as many would fight to the death in a last cheer. Those that didn't would sail towards Polynesia, Hawaii, or the Caribbean, something the Quartermaster would do, where the Pirates had a firmer hold on the region. The dwindling League of Eight would join the ranks of those who fought to the last, fighting for their ideals to the last man in a doomed war.The whereabouts of the Captain, now dubbed "Captain Goldbeard" for his acts in Oceania, are unknown. But it is widely believed he sailed to South America.But for the Pirates, this was their last raid within the region of Oceania, and their final journey to Davy Jones' Locker.<><><><>Thus ends the story of the Pirate Republic of Oceania, their life, struggles, and final defeat, a small ragtag bunch originating from a branch of the Free Corsairs that was able to consolidate a large amount of islands in the region.Thank you for watching this documentary.

>>6126826Forgot Map lol>> RecapMuch excitement has occurred since round 20. The painful wars across the isles of Melenesia have come to an end with the Yellow Menace sinking the last fleets of the Pirate Republic, and claiming their ocean travel buffs on top of that. The back-and-forth stalemate between Emus and Hobbits has turned in the Fellowship's favour with the timely intervention of the Ayy Empire.The sentries of Pine Gap came close to seizing the Northern Territory buff, but the Petrol Cannibals made a deal with the devil and invited the Yellows onto the continent - granting them a beachhead for the divinely mandated invasion of Australia.Fresh off killing the koalas, the Eco-Villains set upon terminating the turtles, nabbing an impressive lead in points with another trophy mounted on their wall. Alas, their lack of a region bonus seems to have finally caught up with them, as more buffed neighbours look to expel them from the East. Their lead may come for naught if they are simply wiped off the map.With alliances and objectives shifting by the moment, its still hard to say who will emerge the greatest empire in Oceania...>> The Leaderboard>#1. Eco-Villains:292 territories + 2 kills = 492 points>#2. Yellow Menace:330 territories + 1 kill = 430 points>#3. British Expeditionary Force:332 territories = 332 points>#4. Hobbits:197 territories + 1 kill = 297 points>#5. Ayy Empire:198 territories + 1 assist = 248 points

Rolled 1862 (1d9999)>>6126828Push full force into Pine Gap.PingPong the warlord from Chyna, goes to the front and witness the might of The Yellow Menace's military. Victory over Pine Gap is inevitable. But will come next? The Treaty of Yellow Cannibalism has been signed, which promised NT for The Yellow Menace and WA for the Petrol Cannibals. Whilst we are promised the worst of the two territories, it does not matter, the greatest prize is the enduring friendship with the Petrol Cannibals. Looking to the south east of Australia PingPong can't help but wonder what will happen after the fall of the Eco Villains, something he is looking forwards to immensely due to the insults sent his way. It seems the Ayys will be penned in by the BEF and the Hobbits, trapped in NSW, he wonders how the diplomatic situation will evolve and if any will ask for his aid.
