The Pipeworks - by CleanOnion

[CleanOnion]

Yep, that's correct. The action simply toggles the process on/off. Doing it twice consecutively would have no effect.

[cribcreaky]

If what you say is true I shall amend our actions and replace the activate process for something else. I wonder, would building walls and using expanding foam help make the pipeworks more stable? I suppose we can check once the reactor is back on. I'm really rather worried about how many more of the collapses we can take

Action 4: Turn on elevator (?????)

Are you sure this should be done? It seemed earlier the general consensus was send a couple of messages first

[cribcreaky]

I was very unsure, on the other hand I think at some stage it has to be worth risking the elevator instead of the guaranteed collapses we're going to be getting soon enough.

I've amended our actions for this round though, next round we'll decide anew.

Action 1: Turn on reactor
Action 2: Expand N10
Action 3: Expand N9
Action 4: Expand N8
Action 5: Communicate "Please help, we are dying"
Action 6: Illuminate N14

I believe that turning on the reactor is a group action, and I am slightly nervous because one of our fellow Engineers has been rather absent recently, we'll let you know if he logs on and says he's PMed at least a few hours before the deadline and we can amend our actions as necessary (hopefully).

Turning on the reactor isn't a group action if you control it though...

It sure is!

Engineers will need to send these actions as a group, correct?

[Aves]

The reactor, yes, as it's a group action. The rest of them aren't so it doesn't matter as much.

[cribcreaky]

It doesn't look like our other teammate is going to be online in time. have we got a contingency plan for how to turn on the reactor this round?

ROUND 15

The forces of nature happily continue to consume the Pipeworks, unrestricted by idle teams whose shit remains in a state of not being together.

Inside the Main Reactor, a small team of Engineers was sent into the Dark Storage to explore. They switched on their torches the engulfing darkness receded into the corners of the room like a terrified cat.
This room has no lights, and the dull beams of illumination that the Engineers carried were all they had to see by. They saw pipes, switches, levers. Discarded pieces of metal and scrapped pieces of the Main Reactor littered the floor. This place had not been touched since the Pipeworks were constructed.

One of the Engineers crouched down next to a piece of equipment that looked identical to the Reactor's console. At the top were mysterious runes - the same shapes that the Wraiths had found carved into a wall several days ago. The Engineer couldn't decipher them, but he was sharp enough to draw them in a notepad as accurately as he could, holding his torch in his mouth and doing his best to keep the subject matter lit up.

CAREM CONSTRUCTION® - 1961

With that task completed, the Engineer swung his torch around the room, alighting on several goodies from hundreds of years ago.

Round 15 has ended.
There are a maximum of █ rounds remaining.
You'll know how many once you turn on Integrity Testing - and you don't even know what you have to do to win yet.

Submit your actions in the top six lines of your titanpad. Please PM me any queries.
If big red text doesn't get you jumping to your titanpads I don't know what will.

[ddevans96]

Alright, Engineers, either you need to evict your inactive, or we need to take control of the reactor and evict ours. I suspect they're the same person.

[Kuroaitou]

Alright, Engineers, either you need to evict your inactive, or we need to take control of the reactor and evict ours. I suspect they're the same person.

We're going to evict him. I'm very sorry about this. 

I had NO idea we were at critical mass now. I think after we evict him, we -should- be good, since we can use group actions after a person is evicted immediately right after on the same round.
