Sell potion phase

Qvist, Kirian, and Hugovj please send me the discount you want to offer. Qvist, please take into account that Hugovj and Kirian get a bonus smiley due to their reputation

ghostofmars · « **Reply #202 on:** January 23, 2015, 11:52:55 am »

I still haven't received any PM.

Kirian · « **Reply #203 on:** January 24, 2015, 01:39:56 pm »

Hrm. This didn't show up on my "unread" list for several days, my apologies. PM inc soon.

ghostofmars · « **Reply #204 on:** January 27, 2015, 01:56:53 pm »

Hugovj offers a discount of -1. With his green reputation he has 2 smileys.
Qvist offers a discount of -1 and Kirian offers none, so that they both have 1 smiley.

This leads to the following order for the sell potion phase:
Hugovj > Qvist > Kirian

Hugovj, you go first. Please send me the ingredients you want to sell, which potion you want to create, and the level of guarantee that you give.

Qvist and Kirian, if you want, you can send me a CO which potion you want to create depending which one is still available when it's your turn.

ghostofmars · « **Reply #205 on:** January 28, 2015, 02:41:18 pm »

Hugovj sells a the blue- potion with a guarantee of correct sign.

The potion has indeed the correct sign, so he earn 3$ - 1$ (discount) = 2$

Qvist, please PM me your ingredients, potion, and guarantee.

ghostofmars · « **Reply #206 on:** January 29, 2015, 03:45:43 pm »

Qvist sells the green - potion with a guarantee of correct sign.

The potion has the correct sign, so that he earns 2$.

Kirian plays the merchant to sell another green - potion (exact match). He earns 4$.

Buy artifact phase is next.

Qvist goes first. You have a discount of 1$ due to your discount card.

Wait. Why can he sell the same potion again? Isn't that prohibited?

I buy an Amulet of Rhetoric.

He used a favor to do so.

Hugovj, do you want to buy the Seal of Authority?

Qvist · « **Reply #209 on:** February 03, 2015, 10:16:24 am »

Oops, reading is hard. I missed the "plays a merchant" part.

Also, btw, my Artifact costs only $3, not sure if you took that into account.

Hugovj · « **Reply #210 on:** February 04, 2015, 03:51:30 pm »

I won't buy the seal.

ghostofmars · « **Reply #211 on:** February 04, 2015, 04:54:20 pm »

Then we move on to the publish theory phase.

Qvist goes first.

I just double checked, your current coin total is correct.

ghostofmars · « **Reply #212 on:** February 06, 2015, 05:00:43 pm »

Qvist pays 1$ to publish a theory on feathers:
Feather is r- g+ B+
He gains 1 point of reputation, because he was the first in this field.

Tables, you are next

Tables · « **Reply #213 on:** February 07, 2015, 08:14:33 pm »

Endorse Tables's Claw theory

The net effect of these actions is that Tables gains 1 rep and Kirian pays 2$.

Test on student phase:
Kirian offers a blue + potion.

Drink potion phase:
Hugovj

ghostofmars · « **Reply #216 on:** February 10, 2015, 02:06:56 pm »

Hugovj drinks delicious water (neutral).

This ends round 5.

The best alchemist award goes to Kirian and Tables (4 seals each) who earn 1 point of reputation.

The new adventurer requires all positive potions.

Everyone is boasting with their theories at the second conference and gains 1 point of reputation.

The last II artifact is discarded and the III artifacts come into play.

Beginning of round 6 (final round)

Notice that in this turn you will not be able to test a potion or drink a potion, so the only ways to get more information about ingredients is to either play a Custodian favor or sell a potion.

The additional action is the exhibition phase: You may place up to 3 workers in this action. For every worker placed you get the possibility to create one red, green, or blue potion of your choice (neutral doesn't count). You may not create the same potion twice.
The procedure works as follows: You announce which potion you want to make. You send a PM to me with the 2 ingredients you want to use (notice that you need to have the ingredients). I announce if you successfully made the potion. If you didn't you lose 1 point of reputation. If you did, you gain 1 point of reputation if you are the first to exhibit this potion. If you exhibit both potions of 1 color you gain 2 points of reputation.

The ingredients you use to exhibit count towards the Feather in Cap artifact (if you buy that). Kirian, please be aware of the following interaction with your Magic Mortar.

Quote from: rules

Special case: If you also have the Magic Mortar, a colleague will randomly choose 1 card to be set aside for Feather in Cap and the other will be returned to your hand. Once you know which card is returning to your hand, you can decide to not use the Magic Mortar and leave both cards set aside to be counted for Feather in Cap.

After the exhibition, there will be a final best alchemist award. You will score points for your artifacts, grants, and remaining money/favors. Then I will reveal the correct ingredients and you will score the hidden points if your theory is correct. If it's wrong you lose 4 points if you didn't hedge against the incorrect color.

So let's get started: Tables choose your turn order.
