Blokus I
« on: May 20, 2013, 03:46:50 am »

I have now created a version of the spreadsheet for the ongoing game, and one as a publicly available template for anyone who wants to start their own game.

We're almost ready to play, when we are, here are my suggestions for how to do this:
1. 24 hour turns. We decide a turn order, and then when you make your move, post here to say that you've taken your turn. The next player should try to move within 24 hours.
2. Taking turns: Currently all the pieces are made by recolouring cells. There may be a more efficient way, but I'm not sure if there is one. To take your turn, colour the appropriate cells on the board, and on your pieces list make it clear that you no longer have that piece.
3. Rules: I'm assuming everyone knows how to play, I haven't been able to find a pdf of the rules, but if someone does, please tell me. I need to double-check how scoring works, but I can use my physical copy for that.
4. Honour system: Don't move other peoples' pieces. You're a jerk if you do.

Playing (in order):
gman314 (Blue)
Xeiron (Green)
Archetype (Yellow)
TINAS (Pink)

You can choose any colour with which to fill in your squares.

Wow. I initially wrote down that Archetype was signed up, totally missing that Archetype and Xeiron have the same picture.

Ah yes. I just saw Xeiron's Baron and thought it was you. We now have our 4 players. When I have the time, I'll move this into the non-mafia games thread, and set up some rules and the spreadsheet more completely. I think what would be easiest is if you all had gmail and PMed me your addresses so that I could give you all editing permission on the spreadsheet.

Now that I've moved the thread, I've set up the spreadsheet and modified the OP to have the rules for the current game. If you're in the game, please read them.

Unless I missed something (I'm pretty sure I didn't). I'm now out of legal moves. It's Xeiron's turn, and TINAS, you can just skip to Xeiron for any future turns you have.

And I think with his last move its going to be a 3-way tie. I've seen different ways to handle it, but Tables/eHalc know everything about every game so we'll have to ask them. Unless someone here knows what we do?

Done, and I believe there is no official tiebreaker for Blokus. I guess we rejoice in our shared victory?

You're welcome. Not sure I'd do it again, but in the OP I shared a link to the public template if anyone wants to organize it on their own.
