Power Grid
The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities.
However, as plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.
Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes.
Description from BGG
This is the thread for a Play By Forum game of Freidemann Friese's Power Grid.
Rules: http://riograndegames.com/uploads/Game/Game_5_gameRules.pdf
Much of this game will run just like Game I (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6358.0). However, I've created a spreadsheet to make the various minutiae easier, here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wjpAoOsCylT0WggF62TQkNC7AsvIG0n2abJRKN1JKWM/edit?usp=sharing).
I'll use the USA map and the same auction mechanics.
Sign-ups
1. AndrewisFTTW
2. WalrusMcFishSr
3. chairs
4. rspeer
5. Kirian
Need Andrew and rspeer to confirm. Also choose a color, any color is fine.
Also, if you want something different from the last two games chime in here. (i.e. different map, not randomizing regions, whatever)

Auctions
When bidding each player may PM me a maximum auto-bid. I'll then increment the bidding going through the auction participants until one would need to bid something beyond his max bid. At that point I will offer pause the auction to give the player an opportunity to re-enter the auction with a higher maximum.
During auto-bidding bids default to increasing by 1.
See Game I for several examples of this.
Options:
-Force max. If you do so, then the last bid you make before you would be expected to exceed your maximum will be your maximum bid. Expectation is determined by the other player's "increments", if at least one round has been completed, otherwise it is assumed to be 1.
See my post (reply #22) in Game I for an example of a forced max.
-Absolute maximum. If you state that your auto-bid max is absolute, then I will not offer you the opportunity to re-enter the auction with a higher max. This will just help speed up the game if you know for certain your exact maximum bid.
-Increment by: $##. You may set a different increment than 1 if you'd like. This has the same use as jumping the bid in general does. In particular, it could look like a "forced max" even when it isn't a max.
PM structure for Auto-bidding:
Bidding on Plant ##. Max Bid: $## (optional-force max, optional-absolute maximum). (optionally) Increment by: $##.
Turn Summary Reminder: (These are the phases of the turn)
1. Determine Turn Order: (most cities first, tiebreakers determined by highest power plant #)
2. Auction Power Plants: In turn order.
3. Buy Resources: In reverse turn order.
4. Build City Connections: In reverse turn order.
5. Beaureaucracy (power cities and receive money). I will as a default assume you are powering as many cities as you can. Let me know if you want to do differently, if there is a non-obvious choice of which plants you will fire, I'll ask.
Step 1 and 2: Place highest plant under deck.
Step 3: Remove lowest plant from the game.
Other Relevant Game Information:
-During Step 1, only one player may build in each city. The first player to build in a city pays $10.
Step 2 begins at the END of "Phase 4" when at least 1 player has built to 7 cities.
-During step 2, a second player can build in each city. The second player to build in a city pays $15.
Step 3 begins at the end of the phase when the Step 3 card is turned over from the Power Plant deck. (This can happen in any of phases 2, 4, or 5)
-During Step 3 a third player may build in each city. The third player pays $20.
Game End triggers at the end of Phase 4 when at least one player has built to 15 cities. At this time the winner is the player who can POWER the most cities, ties broken by cash in hand, then by # cities connected.
Restock Rates (for 5 players):

This will be my first time playing Power Grid so my apologies for being bad in advance.
-
Confirmed. Green.
It's ok chairs, I've played it a few times and I just plain suck.
-
Everyone needs to choose a color, not just those confirming in :)
-
/in if there's still room. Black as before.
-
You're in.
So, need color choices from TA, and chairs, and rspeer to confirm, and then I'll randomize initial order and we'll be ready to go. (that filled fast...)
-
Do auto-/ins mean nothing anymore? Dark times indeed :P
-
Walrus, take my spot. I am not gonna have a lot of time for this anyways.
/out
-
You sure dude? I was just joshin.
I'll take a spot if it's there though.
-
Yeah definitely, take it!
-
Thanks TA, you're a cool guy.
I'll take red again I guess
-
Gah, I read back over the last like 5 posts of the previous game, but that wasn't quite enough to get back to your auto-in.
-
Yep, I'm in. Thanks for saving the spot!
I'll play yellow never mind, I see how hideous yellow looks in the previous game, make that orange.
-
Need chairs' color.
The region to be excluded is (reading clockwise starting with 1 as NorthWest, so 6 is SouthWest)
Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6
-
No SouthWest!
Okay, I'll fix up the map, and randomize player order. chairs must pick a color by the time he builds his first city :P

I bid $5 on plant 05.

I'm confused, though, shouldn't plant 5 be out of current and plant 3 be in it?

The answer to this is relevant and may impact my decision to pass (apologies in advance).

-
By the way, Andrew, did you mean to place a *maximum* bid of $10, instead of jumping the bidding immediately to $10, when you bid on plant 5?
-
No I just wanted to bid $10.
-
To be fair, plant 5 is a really nice Turn 1 plant, if I'm understanding the game properly. Flexibility in fuel and reasonably decent turn order.
-
$9

Sorry, should have PMd. Pass

Mountains? Game balance?

But it has nothing to do with gameplay, because you just never use that link. You use the 9+12, which is strictly better. It might as well not be printed on the board.
-
Yeah, I think it's an artifact of the way the board was designed. There's a couple other places that also don't obey the triangle inequality, but they can actually impact gameplay depending on what region is out. (See Cincinatti-Pittsburgh-Raleigh)

Actually, you don't have room for any. (you only burnt 2 last turn, not 3).
Andrew can't buy any resources either.
So, Walrus to buy...

I think I miscalculated, it looks like my 4 Oil should have been $14, not $15...

yes, but the uranium was $1. So, all together it was $15 (I just assumed you were putting the final total there).

Cities are $15 each now?

They cost $15 if you're building them Step 2-style on a city already occupied by another person. If you're building in an open city they still cost $10. (I think.)

They cost $15 if you're building them Step 2-style on a city already occupied by another person. If you're building in an open city they still cost $10. (I think.)
This is correct.
The first person to build in a city always pays $10.
The second person to build in a city pays $15, and can only do so during step 2.
The third person pays $20, and can only do so during step 3.

Buffalo, Norfolk, Raleigh, Tampa, Miami for $98

Grats rspeer. Plant 32 came out at just the right time. Just... perfect.
(Neither Andrew nor I have enough cash to build up to 14 cities. Chairs can get to 15 cities but can't power them. And Walrus's best case option [OKC, Dallas, NOLA, STL], assuming no one cuts him off, leaves him $2 behind rspeer.)
This is the one major problem with Power Grid. If you're counting cash, the end result is known before resources are bought on the last round.
(I screwed up big time in the previous round, but it took me until the auctions this round to realize it.)
GG all!
-
GG indeed! I was really hopeful last turn. At least I felt like I played a bit more competently this game.
-
Huh. Wait. Am I reading the board right? I wasn't about to declare victory in this situation.
Those four cities cost WalrusMcFish $82 in the current state, as far as I can tell, so I think there's a bit of kingmaking that has to happen before we find out if I win, or if I lose by a dollar.
-
Nice! Kingmake me guys, it'll be sweet!

Hrm. I had counted them before at $85... but now my calculator is telling me $82 as well. It would appear that 5 plus 3 is not in fact 11. Dammit.

That said, I originally put this in a PM to theorel, and I'll put it here again now:
"In order to defeat any illusion of collusion, I intend to take as many cities as I can at the lowest costs possible. That way no one can suggest I went out of my way to play kingmaker."
I will stand by that.
-
A wise and just kingmaker you have proven to be.
GG, all, that was fun.
-
Fair enough! It would have felt dirty honestly.
GG for reals this time!
-
GG, I haven't read any strategy on Power Grid so I was just doing whatever and I was actually doing better than I usually do so that's cool!
-
Thank you theorel!

I got those as the cheapest building options for everyone up to their means. Let me know if you see something better someone could have done:
Assuming it's accurate:
Final Standings:
1. rspeer: 15 Cities powered, $25
2. WalrusMcFishSr: 15 Cities powered, $13
3. Kirian: 14 Cities powered, $12
4. AndrewisFTTW: 13 Cities powered, $19
5. chairs: 12 Cities powered, $72
(note: chairs could have bought more cities, but he couldn't power more, so I bought the cheapest 2 he could reach, I think)
Good game everyone. Modding though so much automation meant that I wasn't paying quite as much attention to everything that was going on. But it also meant that it was pretty easy to moderate.
