#146 Exploration Steel REX

[DuPont]

Just FYI - I reported this to Rick, but in the ESO thingy, D3 is listed as being worth 2 points, but also as 'minor'. Not sure what it was supposed to be - but I assume it was just a typo one way or the other.

Cool early turn and my 991 went in correctly.

[Drogo]

Just curious, anyone else choose two 2 point objectives and get your personalized ESO disqualified?

[DuPont]

(RA) My turn went well - no issues with my 991, either. Nice to pick up the first HC seat, but I always wonder what the #2 bid was and how much I overbid. Hopefully, the TR is spending his money buying Orcs and won't be putting in a turn 2 bid to vote down my issue!
I will say having the flexibility of the 991 really focused me right at the start - I often start the game with no real idea of how I'm going to play, but this made me choose a direction right from the start. I liked that.

I did. Submitted to support to have fixed as the instructions on 991 don't disallow using 2 majors. Happy to re-select if the intent is to not allow that, but since it didn't say I couldn't....

Why would you want to? Enjoy making things harder for yourself?

I asked about D3 back on July 6 but didn't get a response so I thought it was just a curiosity of a "tough" minor:

Also, since the rules doesn't say anywhere that we cannot have two majors, I didn't program the order validator to check for that condition. I got burned too on that btw

Sent a request for rules clarification and will update the program when I have a chance.

I try to make it so that you have a chance to keep up, DuPont. That normally means making things more difficult on myself.

In all seriousness, that's just the way it fell out based on what I see as my opening gambit. Choosing two majors and a minor actually worked better for my plans than choosing three minors and a major. Going to send in a revised T1 order sheet so that I can have my ESO set. Given that the default is regional control and so far it's both me (WA) and GI that wanted to go above and beyond... it's an issue to be fixed, certainly.

[DuPont]

Oh, I see. I thought you were picking two majors and two minors.

[kevindusi]

Nope, just two majors and a minor. In my opinion much more do-able for what I want to do. The adventure one is such a crapshoot for a wizard kingdom with the artifacts (we obviously won't have a Warlock warlord running around until at least turn 16).
