Pipeworks II - by CleanOnion

tape is useless to us and so long as we dont need our hammer for a recipe we are fine in that regard too. Since we need to wait for gas masks on action1 we can ally during that time. Since we need the medics bricklaying bomb and narcotics, we also have to ally them before action 6 preferably (our actions 2 and 3 are set, everything else is negotiable). If everyone is allied to us, it would be nice if either cultists or medics could turn on the lights after allying.

[Ryli]

Action 0: Take Gear, Explosive Bomb
Action 1: Ally Scientists
Action 2: Donate Narcotics, (Narcotics or Gear), Explosive Bomb
Action 3: Turn on Lights

2 and 3 can be switched if that's preferable.

I think we like the second narcotics a bit better than gear. Order doesnt matter (except allying has to happen first), just need narcotics before action 6, as I intend to have everything ready already next round.
@medics: without your bricklaying bomb in our possession we wont be able to save everyone next round. We ally you by action 4, so please ally us within the first 4 actions and then send the bomb (via donation this time please, not detonation) in either of the last 2 actions.

[Fippe94]

We need to fix the first fire in the first 4 actions (or first 2 for no permanent damage I guess?), I hope you have that in mind

[kaempfer13]

yh, CO just pointed out to me that areas with no influence vanish and since we cant take terminal or generator we have to take q18 or r17, expand r18, then detonate the bomb there; medics we ally you by action 5 then, it cannot be done sooner, so donate on action 6.

[kaempfer13]

Um confirmation from the medics please? ally us on any of the first 5 actions and send us the bricklaying bomb in the last (as we cannot ally you sooner and enable the cultists to activate the lighting which will be necessary to put out the other fire and put out the fire, we are not trying to force a pattern onto you, it's just the best way to do it). If you dont do it now you will have to do it next round so that we can save your butt, so might as well do it now so that we dont get stressed out if sth bad were to happen next round. I already ally you on action 5, so the rest is up to you.

Round 17

RULES - SHEET - BOARDS

Spoiler for Pipeworks at the end of Round 16:

An explosion of bricks somehow built walls, cutting off the flow of air and snuffing out the fire. But the faction couldn't rest for long - despite alliances being formed, the newer, larger blaze still had to be put out.

With the lights on, the Scientists analysed the result of the Brewers' self-destruction with vigour. It wasn't nearly as bad as they'd predicted - as it occurred in the headquarters of the Brewers, which were more fortified than ordinary territory, the fire hadn't eaten through the concrete as much as the other one had... in fact, not at all.

It would eventually, of course, but not for a while yet. Enough time to prepare, certainly.

Round 17 ends: Round 17 has ended.
To get the big fire sorted out (or win) you have 12 actions remaining.

Please PM any queries to myself and Naii_the_Baf.

Well, we only have that one bomb and i dont know any other way to fight fire (other than wait till it dies). looks to me like we have no choice but to wait until some of it died down and do our best to find bricks. We could also attempt to snuff out half the fire right away in the hopes to quickly gain another shot at it next round (which only works if we find more bricks).

Either way looks like the lighting will have to remain on. That is of course unless we manage to escape in 12 actions, but i dont think we will survive if we go to the surface with no preparation.

On N5 you found a Remote-Controlled Toy Car... upside down in the ventilation shaft. Its wheels  were slighty sticky, but not sticky enough to be used for anything.

Found a car, but sticky wheels could mean it'll have problems driving.

[kaempfer13]

If we are going to need it to get through level 4 pollution and blow a bricklaying bomb it'll probably have to drive but 1 tile. I am slowly starting to get a headache+ you all guys know how all relevant parts of the known combo work, so feel free to have more than 1 brain working on solving the issue at hand. Also it does look like we are going to have to teleport twice, so we actually do need yet another narcotics (and another bricklaying bomb somehow).
I've seen that medics did not just do the basics of what had to be done, but also send us medicine. The gesture is appreciated . Then again, if you build the humidifier, you are presumably going to be the faction that uses medicine the most from now on (and befittingly so) and depending how using medicine on humidifier is interpreted it might even get affected by your passive, at least the first time you use it. Except for duct tape, medicine was probably the lowest on my priority list of items to get, but its still nice. Also, sorry if I wasn't supposed to say this in public, but I didn't think its saying too much and clarifies how we stand.

[kaempfer13]

I wonder whether bricks could be crafted by combining 2 pobr (1 obv gives a ram, duct tape doesnt seem the best way to make a solid wall, but it might be worth a try)
