We're back, and to start us off, N8 the overlord has decided that our home needs a name.
And immediately, this happened as well:
Nock? R8? Rock and N8 need a double bed to be together in, but then I realized that I built the rooms too small to comfortably fit a double bed. Expansions are in order.
Before anything could be done about Rock and N8's bedroom, however, we were raided. Randy Random has been gracious today, and he sent only one man with a club:
All hail Randy Random. The one true god.
Blessed be his name.
Dealing with this guy was easy. All we had to do was use Megan, our strongest melee combatant, as bait.
Then, we simply had Megan draw Jude into the firing range of Sonic and Carlos, our two crack shots.
However, once Megan drew close to our walls, there was nowhere left to run. And having Megan melee fight Jude would have left her open to friendly fire from Carlos and Sonic. Not to mention, the unfavorable angle would probably have seen Sonic shooting Carlos as well. So instead, I opted for a big dog pile on Jude.
It was over so quick, I didn't even have the time to think to get a picture of the dogpile itself. We then stripped and imprisoned Jude. See, in Rimworld, the primary way of gaining new tribesmen is by capturing your enemies, and convincing them to join your ranks. So in other words, Jude is to be one of our next forum members.
Look at him, in his little cell. Jude the little bitch. Unfortunately, as you can see by the "recruitment difficulty" number on the left of the image below, it'll be a while before he's one of ours. Shouldn't take more than a season or two, though. Also pictured here are the plans for our room expansions, which will allow us to rearrange the furniture, and give N8 and Rock the time together they deserve:
When the time comes, and the walls are built, we'll simply tear down the inner walls. These also aren't the last time we'll be upgrading the living quarters. Once we get stonecutting operational, we'll want to build our houses out of something less flammable for sure.
And then, in the middle of the night, a wild forum member appeared! Weird, right? Someone just walked up and joined the tribe. I mean, I'm fine with it. I could always use more forum members. Say hello to Jayko:
A heatwave happened. I wish I could say more about it, but basically all I did was just build like five primitive coolers, and just have people cower inside, unless they had work outside. If they worked outside, I'd just send them to do their work, and order them back home. It definitely impeded our progress though. We weren't able to continue doing the things that would help us further down the road.
Jayko got some pretty bad heatstroke from working in the sun, though.
That's all for now, but the next update will happen way quicker than this one. Now I'm not gonna be making (as many) rookie mistakes, so there won't be any more save scumming. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone dies.
Also, it is SUPER possible that this tribe gets wiped. Like VERY possible. Like that's probably going to be how this game ends. With a tribe wipe. If that happens, I'm simply going to start another colony, with a new group of forum members, probably in a new scenario, too, until I just run out of forum members to use. Though if you guys want more, I could always start recycling forum members.
If there's any questions about the game, or you just don't understand what's going on, feel free to ask!
