So our 4-man game currently consists of myself, Capntastic, Turgid Bolk, and THLawrence. It seems we are using Pantsheim rules, which clearly state that we make up rules as we go along, and no rule can contradict any other rule.

Turgid has an Elephant in G19, and demon in the magma vent.

I have carps in the river.

Lawrence has Engineers 1 and 3 deploying a catapult at IV 8. One of them is in a Fell Mood.

It seems to be Capntastic's turn.

[Capntastic]

*Dons his Tacticus cap*

Well, your opening move lacks subtlety.  

I move my kobolds around the well, and position my iron man in the middle of the still.

So does mine; but it's got style nonetheless.

Pantsheim rules, eh?  Sounds a lot like Calvinball, only without a ball.

Yeah maybe you should go read up on Tacticus before you make absurd comments.

[Turgid Bolk]

That's Pantshelm. With an L. Also, I'd like to know how you're fitting an Iron Man in a still, but I won't challenge it...unless it becomes a disadvantage to me...

For reference the game started here.

[Capntastic]

Well, I imagine the still as an entire distillation operation, not a small Hawkeye rig.

[PTTG??]

I envoke the "rule of sudden combat ajoinment" and place 300 kitten tokens on the west edge of the field. They immediately begin sneaking. How's THAT for subtlety?

OO can I join? In that case my Hammerer moves to LE 37 and uses sharp hammer skill.

[Rondol]

Ohh, PantsHELM! That's entirely different. I suppose there are no rules against additional participants. However I'd be careful. Pantshelm rules are QUITE different from pantsheim... Under pantsheim new players are immune to alcohol poisoning for four turns, under pantshelm they recieve it at double rate.

I must say, however, I'm curious what kind of booze Capn's planning to make from an Iron Man. I won't argue, though.

I will, however, apply "Sudden Breeding" to multiply the number of carp in the river by sixteen.

[Keilden]

Then my Hammerer starts making jailcages out of his toenails. BTW he got moldy toenails so anyone in the cage must make a saving throw againts mold or suffer 3 nose damage.

[Citizen of Erl]

I'd like to join, if making a six person game isn't a trouble.

My melancholy bone crafter jumps into the magma.

But I wish to invoke the double blind rule, which makes suicides invoke two bad thoughts. This causes my sheriff, who was his lover, to go berserk near the catapults.

Unfortunately, this means I also miss the next couple turns, while I wait to get a couple more pieces in play.

[Rondol]

So I uncovered a tiny portion of the Pantshelm rulebook. Apparently it's a little more precise on the topic of new rules than pantsheim. However the part that I found related to the areas in the game. Unfortunately there was only one line:

Mines, Farms, Stills, Dormitory, Workshops, Great Hall, Fortifications, Gate, River, Forest, Treasury, Metalworks

*grumbles about the damn kids who don't know what Calvinball is, or why his comment might have been relevant even without knowledge of Tacticus*

So I've never heard of Tacticus, Wikipedia doesn't know anything about Tacticus other than some Roman guys, and a Google search for Tacticus brings up this thread as its number one hit.

I give up.  Is this really just like Calvinball, but without the ball?  I don't wanna be out of the loop anymore!

[BDR]

Sappho: O.o What did you Google?  I googled "Tacticus" and got this....

On second pass, I see that site seems to not have anything on it... Most peculiar.
