You know, I've got a funny feeling I've seen this all before.
2 vampires when everyone's ready to hire monsters and you lay out priests for the most evil player, love it. Broken Loose is in a great position to take one but it would be a risky move for anyone else. Tekopo is certainly not interested. Both slimes come out next round which might tempt someone to place Monster first this season.

The rest of the adventurers aren't bad, wizards are usually quite tame in year 1. I'm interested to see which way Tekopo and Burger TIme go here.

I honestly don't think Monster 1st right now would be worthwhile for the Priest risk players since taxes are due next season.

what the actual hell is wrong with you? are you that gung-ho to get a shitload of priests* that you'd risk loving up your taxes? i'm not mad, but i do get annoyed when people do questionably suboptimal things and it fucks me over due to dumb luck


mine wherever. take back my pub minion, i'm not doing that action this season. also, i'm pretty sure i just got eliminated from the game.

Hey now, I just said you weren't interested in a Vampire. I was fairly certain Istvun would Monster first and burger time wouldn't play it at all, I wasn't sure about you.

Broken Loose put himself in a bind where he could potentially be locked out of either monsters or gold depending on what everyone put first, but hey that's what happens when you pay a mountain of food for a troll and some imps in the first year.

It was never going to gently caress up my taxes. Not even remotely, thanks to the number of imps I had and the gold making room. I either ended up with 3 additional gold or 4 at the end of this round, and if I did get locked out of gold, I'd just take it back and still get 3 gold next round. There was 100% certainty that I would fulfill my taxes.

I was almost certain to get priest anyway, so I thought gently caress it. Even if I had a full priest party, NOT getting a monster this turn is strictly worse than getting a useless monster. I didn't go reputation because I hate having mages. I could have gone imps but I decided not to. I wasn't ever going to dig more rooms. gently caress you for thinking that my play was 'suboptimal' and that it hosed you over 'due to dumb luck'. You did a risky play based on faulty assumptions and THAT hosed you over.

Edit: And before you say something like 'but this was a risky play for you and you just randomly got the jackpot', this wasn't a risky play at all. I stand to lose 1 food out of it? Oh no, what a risk. Gold was never going to be an issue for me.

Now that I'm running through the update, this is... a little ambiguous depending on if you're counting up or down. I'll assume for now you mean downwards, and change it if need be.

iirc it's possible for tekopo to decline paying the 1 gold on hire monster if he doesn't want it, which would stop him from placing his minion there at all.

also gently caress you guys why do you want slimes?

e: if that doesn't happen, no food and I'll look at the first combat card.

I had a live game where I got all three slimes and a golem, with a room up front.

It was my best game ever, 43 points or something stupid like that.

Incorrect. The relevant rules are on page 22 (Recruiting as first order).

quote:

The Recruit Monster (or Ghost) card has a special symbol to remind you of this rule: if you play the card as your first order, it costs you 1 Gold. You must pay this as soon as the card is revealed, before you move your Minion Figure to the Underground Tavern. If you have no Gold and you play this card as your first order, your Minion Figure is placed directly on the card instead of on one of the action spaces (which leaves the space open for another player to use)

Bolding mine. You cannot refuse to pay the recruitment gold cost if able. You only do not place if you CAN'T pay.

(The usual rule that lets you skip an action and dodge costs comes during the Execute Orders step, as described on page 13, not the Reveal Orders step.)
