Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn! — Let's All Play Cthulhu Wars!

I think we can safely delete the Round 1 folder at this point, if that'll help.

NOOOOOOOOOO

I forgot.

OK, then, Action: Recruit Cultist in Indian Ocean.



Power: 1

OK, done and uploaded. Thanks.

Round 2
Chaos Turn 5

Power: 5
Doom: 3
Elder Signs: 0

Action: Capture Cultist in South Atlantic

Take spellbook: Emissary of the Outer Gods

Power: 4

Round 2
Cthulhu Action 6

Power: 1
Doom: 3
Elder Signs: 0

Action: Recruit Cultist in North Pacific.



Power: 0

Once MrChris has used up the rest of his power we are on to Gather Power for Round 3, I believe.

Did I miss how Nyar got to South Atlantic in 1 move?

Flight lets him move up to two spaces in one action. South Asia > Indian Ocean > South Atlantic.

Round 2
Crawling Chaos Final Actions

Power: 4
Doom: 3
Elder Signs: 0

Action: Summon Cultist in South Atlantic, Control Gate.

Power: 3

Action: Move Nyarlathotep from South Atlantic to Australia. (I'd pause to offer Cthulhu a chance to Devolve here, but it looks like he can only have 4 Deep Ones on the map at one time; if I'm wrong about this, let me know.)

Power: 2

Action: Capture Cultist in Australia.

Power: 1

Action: Move Cultist from South Asia to Australia, Control Gate.

Power: 0

Unless anyone else can take some action, that looks like the end of the round. I'll update the map now.

And that's the round!



On to Gather Power. By my count:

Great Cthulhu has 12 (5 from Cultists, 6 from Gates, 1 from uncontrolled Gate)
Yellow Sign has 11 (6 from Cultists, 2 from Gate, 2 from Desecrations, 1 from uncontrolled Gate)
Windwalker has 15 (6 from Cultists, 4 from Gates, 1 from uncontrolled Gate, 4 from Hibernate)
Crawling Chaos has 15 (6 from Cultists, 6 from Gates, 1 from uncontrolled Gate, 2 from captured Cultists)
Black Goat has 9 (4 from Cultists, 4 from Gates, 1 from uncontrolled Gate)

No minimum power adjustment needed.

If no one has any corrections to my count, that makes I break the tie and choose Crawling Chaos as our new first player! MrChris chooses the direction of play.

I believe that Windwalker used Hibernate to carry over 4 power, which would have us tied at 15. As the previous turn's First Player, Cthulhu acts as the tiebreaker, right?

Ah, quite right! I'll leave it with Chaos.

Order of play will go to the left. Since I have 15 Power at the end of the Gather Power phase, I take the Madness spellbook.

Round 3 Doom Phase
Crawling Chaos

I gain 3 Doom points from controlled gates.

I will use the Ritual this turn

I spend 5 power to gain 3 Doom points from controlled gates and 1 Elder Sign for having 1 GOO on the board. The Ritual track marker advances one space.

Power: 10
Doom: 9
Elder Signs: 1

It is now Windwalker's turn.

SCREW YOUUUUUUUUUUUU CTHULHU!

also nyarls too but i blame cthulhu more

Anyway: Not using the Ritual this round, so 15 Power, 4 Doom.

Don't blame me! He could never have tied with you if you hadn't backed out of paying for Thousand Forms (on his suggestion!) and given him 5 power instead. He took two gates, captured a Cultist and recruited a Cultist with that power! Counting what he earned for this round, he got 11 power thanks to that one action.

I actually can blame you, because his actions are all that stopped you from having an equivalent amount of Power.

Well, fair enough, there.

This is where I point out that if it hadn't been for me and Yellow Sign attacking your Cultists and Gates, you would most likely have had 14-15 power this turn, and been First Player yet again. At least this way we set a reasonable limit on the number of times you can throw Cthulhu at our faces this turn!

Yeah, otherwise I'd probably have gotten a Shoggoth to the board and/or done a Cultist shuffle to take the Central America gate. I lost track of how many plans I discarded in the last few turns.

No ritual.

11 power, 2 doom.

No Ritual, 3 doom

Power: 12
Doom: 6
Elder Signs: 0

periodical is up for Doom.

No Ritual for me.

Power:9
Doom:3

All right, then, here we gooooooooooo



Crawling Chaos is up.

Round 3
Crawling Chaos Action 1

Power: 10
Doom: 9
Elder Signs: 1

Action: Summon Nightgaunt in South Atlantic (1 Power)

Round 3

ACTION: Capture white cultist in Indian Ocean (1 power).



Power: 10

Doom: 6
Elder Signs: 0

Action: SUMMON CTHULHU to South Pacific, take the Submerge spellbook and an Elder Sign (as per Immortal)



Power: 2
Elder Signs: 1

Well, that escalated quickly.

From what I've read, round 3 or so is when things get nuts.

Ok well I'm gonna continue not knowing how to get spells without getting killed.

Action: Summon Shub-Niggurath to East Africa, sac-ing both cultists there and taking Thousand Young. (How do I get the spellbook for sac-ing cultists? Just do it for fun?)

Power:1
Doom:3
