[Cybele]

[animorpherv1]

Jump into Orange.

PHASE: 1 - Leak

Deadline Monday

Cybele is now the new start player.

[Cybele]

I suggest purple. I am okay with anything but orange. Discuss.

[animorpherv1]

Nothing against Thian, but why not yellow?

[Cybele]

No discussion at all?
Fine. I'm voting purple.

[Thian]

Purple or yellow is fine, they are the lower point value boats.

also sub... the yellow boat only has 4 spots? should it not have 6 like the rest? or is that just because you can't have an empty row on a grid?

I'd rather keep players peices in at this point until we get down to like no more room for leaks.

[animorpherv1]

No, there are 6, it's just the bottom 2 have nothing in them, so they are small.

[Thian]

The only problem with yellow at this point is, I won't get any help in moving it along further if I don't get people in there that will help vote it forward, so I may just go with purple at this point.

[Robotnick2]

Hmm.
As I have two sailors in the purple boat, I am reluctant to put a leak there. Therefore, I vote yellow.

[sAbLLimINal]

PHASE: 2 - MOVE FORWARD

Deadline Thursday

[Cybele]

I have two sailors in the purple boat

Uhhh, what?

[Cybele]

Off the top of my head, I'm for voting green, white, orange or purple forward. Otherwise, I'll vote depending on where the discussion goes.

[Robotnick2]

I have two sailors in the purple boat

Uhhh, what?

Apologies, I misread BB as ROB.

[Cybele]

While you're here, let's talk shop. Which boats do you like for moving forward?

[Thian]

I would like red to move forward. Ani, Rob, CJ what do you guys think?

[Cybele]

I'll vote yellow as a compromise to red.

[Thian]

Although it is a nice gesture for that compromise, the only one other person who would be on board with that would be BB. It only benefits myself and BB, not really anyone else. Unless people are planning on joining that boat to get further.

the other option benefits more people.

[Thian]

I am still considering it, but I just don't see how moving 2 groups forward compared to moving 4 groups forward is helpful. Unless people are planning on joining yellow to get further.

[animorpherv1]

IMO, White. Let's get one boat all the way before me decide on which boat to move next?

[Cybele]

Yellow still has room on it. It benefits me more than Red does. In fact, it can benefit up to two additional people. I realize you case for red, but I'd prefer yellow, and would most definitely vote it if asked.

[Cybele]

Let's get

one boat all the way

before me decide on which boat to move next?

No, focusing on one boat leaves us all fighting over the one boat that is both:

• high points and
  
• guaranteed to dock before all the leaks start adding up and we fight for space on the boats

It makes more sense to move them at least somewhat evenly. Otherwise we're looking for a brawl.

[animorpherv1]

Well, if that's the case, then Orange/Red.

[Cybele]

*NB: That's an argument against moving white exclusively, as opposed to moving it at all. I'm still for voting it forward this round, just not what ani is suggesting.

[Thian]

yeah, I don't really like the idea that moving one boat only because everyone will be fighting just to get into that one boat. move a few up before we start bargaining for the points.
