I build up the fort. I build out instead of up and make some room for another turret while I'm building a outermore layer. I redefine the Perimeter as it is apart of the fort and replace it with a outer level of a multi-wall-layered fort.
Orders: Well, the Fault in Godmodder's reasoning is that he failed to understand is that it wasn't actually the communists who did it, it was the Anti-Communist Forces (ACF) trying to frame the Communists to do that to dispose of a valuable ally. This is why when a major error in one of the framing attempts by GM's agents revealed that it was actually the ACF Trying to Frame the Communists.
Your orders fail to be coherent orders for your entitys to parse. shame. Anyway, you make the fort have more volume!... which means the current turret can't cover the whole area. but hey, you start building a new turret in this area!
The shopkeep takes out a tiny vial, and notices as a thin white light flows into it. He smiles. Looks like his plan is working. 2/5 for Mechanical Reaper.

churges that sorta-kinda already happened! WEEEEEEeeeeeeeee!!!!
I build the outer layer wall upwards and add a open entrance that enemies can just walk through. The sandbags and fences, deconstructed, are moved around the entrance to create a choke-point. Enemies would perfer to go through the Checkpoint instead of going through the walls. Its a Trap though, since the "Open entrance" actually has a gate in in. Also, that turret fort foundation is near this entrance as a part of the chokepoint, and are programmed to fire on attackers, making it more deadly of a chokepoint. I also quickly rename the fort a "Fortress" cause that is the next tier up from a normal Fort, due to the massive amount of effort that has been put into it.
Additional Order: Add a Anti-Scrying ward at the Chokepoint that doesn't cover the main fort, just that area.
P.S. Expanding the fort outwards is the same thing as remodeling it.
you rename the fort to Fortress! it is now a fortress. each 5% pre-existing building is 1% fortress building! 32% complete fortress. you then make a chokepoint, and give legitimate orders. then you say something that just isn't true. most of the fortress is still exactly the same! how is That remodelling?
Even though I don't know who killed the basilisk, I can think of a convincing lie.
"Oh, you haven't heard? The poor thing... It..." I quickly lick my finger and dab the bottom of my eyes with the moisture, to make it look like I'm crying.
"It... grew so bored without your presence... I fear it may have taken its own life." I pretend to break down into tears.
the Godmodder is surprised. really? He was sure the basilisk had anti-boredom wards... and an aversion to death... and insufficient strength to kill itself... wait, he thinks he remembers a reason why that can't be right... Ah! he heard from the farmer that the priest told him, that the peasant told him, that the shoggoth told him, that the blink dog told them, that that young gentleman over there told him that the basilisk was rather enamoured with something and not at all bored! your story doesn't add up!
The shopkeep plugs the vial of white with a cork, then stows it away in a cabinet underneath the strange machine. The strange machine has a panel light up, showing the life and times of the skylanders figurines: It shows them being shipped out to some unknown parts, and then a mage accidentally pouring a potion of animating on them. It then shows as the skylanders figurines rampage around the wizard's lab, breaking things and just generally making a nuisance of themselves, until finally the mage gets fed up with them and throws them into a home made dimensional vortex. The Skylanders figurines fly through the vortex until they are caught by a high-level spell... one cast by the shopkeeper. They plop out by the shopkeeper and are controlled by the spell, making them less malicious and more amenable to control by the owner of the spell. The shopkeeper sends the spell off to wooby, and then portals the skylanders figurines out to him in the Astral Sea. Then in the Astral Sea the figurines attack the door, and are shortly thereafter obliterated by the seekers of the name. The screen goes black.
The shopkeeper leans back after watching the video. "Huh. Well that was disappointing." He listens to something. "That's fair enough I suppose. Still, rather underwhelming, do we really have to stick in the small ones?" He listens some more. "Alright. I guess I'll quit my complaining and just keep the charges flowing instead." He listens even more. "True. and faster even than that if someone else joins in. It'll be quite the show..." 3/5 for Mechanical Reaper.
Dunno how early I'll be able to get on tomorrow, so I'm going to go ahead and make my post now so I can get it in. Also the rp bit above has no actual baring on mechanics for things. I just decided I wanted to be cryptic and have reasons for what I'm doing. The auctions will still continue as normal for the foreseeable future.
Wooby's contributed charge was 1.1
The shopkeep goes back to leaning on his machine and churging more, before realizing he's got a good business opportunity available. "Yo mister Godmodder, I got video footage of the death of your basilisk, if you hand over... say 100 player actions worth of charge? I'll gladly give you the video footage and you can make of it what you will."
5/5 for Mechanical Reaper. The machine dings and whistles. It seems another charge is complete. This time, a little nozzle opens up out the back of the machine. A rumbling is heard deep within the machine, and suddenly out the nozzle sprays a massive spray of wheat and wheat stalks. Meanwhile in the sidequest, a large portal opens up, and a massive combine harvester (look 'em up, they're used in farming.) charges out of a portal, arriving to join up with Wooby's growing entourage. The combine harvester is mostly standard aside from the 3 round charged ability: Harvest Time, which deals light/moderate damage to three enemies (unable to target one enemy more than once)

Okay, no. That's absolute BS. I refuted it in the Discord and I'm refuting it here. Taking away my agency as a player for a cheap joke/a miniscule amount of plot progression is, although not the single worst thing a GM has done to me in a DTG-styled game, ranks pretty high up there. You better FREAKING not make a habit out of this JOE. I am incredibly pissed off right now. I don't even care that I lost the 5 charges. I'm just pissed that you'd hijack my character like that.
The shopkeeper takes the piece of dirt and chucks it at the game master's metaphysical computer screen. Made before JOE edited his thing.
The Shopkeep's a bit too preoccupied with cussing out the GM and almost doesn't notice when a filmy white light fills up another one of the vials inside his cloak.
He tosses another charge into the machine while grumbling under his breath, and flicks up the screen for watching the lifes and times of the combine harvester. Bob was a farmer. One day he got in a fight with his boss, a notoriously angry farmer, and watched his boss fall into an interdimensional wormhole that sucked him away. Bob was guilt-struck, he always blamed himself even though it wasn't really his fault, so one day, when that interdimensional wormhole opened up again, he got in the nearest piece of machinery and drove right through it. He was dumped in the middle of a lawless land, not the battlefield of CTG, but a different far off world, where with the might of his combine harvester he conquered many lands in the search for his old boss, until he forgot all about his boss and just grew into being a meanspirited warlord who wanted to conquer everything with his combine harvester. And so that continued until the day he accidentally drove his harvester into ANOTHER interdimensional portal that plopped him on the OG's side of the battlefield, where he had an extremely short lived life, watching a single Hatsune Miku concert and attack a door once before being torn apart by Seekers of the Name "Wow. Even the fivers aren't doing too hot." He listens to something, having apparently calmed down some. "True... I wonder what it's up to."
Godmodder takes Retaliation Damage from the CLOUDED MIRROR DEFENSE due to attacking something in the fortress. Actually, it is also blocked by the fortress because I ORDERED THE BASILISK CORPSE TO BE PUT IN THE FORTRESS! :) Whoops! And since Godmodder failed to account for this to counter this in his attack, The Godmodder actually takes partial retaliation damage! What, I didn't create this fortress for nothing! Godmodder takes no Retaliation Damage and the Fortress blocks all damage from the attack. The best part of this is that Godmodder doesn't even know the fact his attack was blocked by the fort due to a successful counter-divination by our favorite No-Elemental. Nice work! :)
Action: I upgrade Turret B's Range, allowing it to cover the whole Fortress. If necessary, I'll build the turret higher so it can cover the fortress.
Hello all! as redrover pointed out, the Godmodder should have taken a damage from his turrets! as such, A different series of events shall play out. you may edit your posts accordingly.
Taking 1 Damage, the Godmodder mumbles about the smell of burnt hair. He quickly presses a button on his tablet-like device. the device glows black, before he shoves it into his inventory again. off in the distance, black smoke gathers as sunset rapidly approaches. the smoke forms into a shape... _____________________________ -----[The second shard, NIGHTMARE ]----
....It's a horse made of black smoke. not a nightmare, a night mare. as in a female horse, associated with night for some reason. GODMODDER: ...wrong button. why did I think this one was a good idea? [AG-Shard] Night's Mare ??? HP ???A ??? in ?!

Well... I actually meant conditionals based on what the state of the world is, or about whether an action can work.
but it'll still work since I said it'd work. the enemies can no longer run away I guess. EORR the slimelanders lower the door to 1 HP! the slime king molds itself to the shape of the reaper. it is now the Armored Slime Reaper. it got a small power boost from hatsune. the toaster heals it. The minion potato cop car throws potatos at 4 seekers of the name. they die. the deva finishes off the door. still demoralized. still only does between 1and 2 damage. The tendriled monsters can't open the door since its destroyed, so they grab booksbooks for 5 damage. the marines unleash a hail of bullets on the slimelanders and kill all of them. The remaining seekers of the name chomp into the toaster, and eat its toast. 8 damage to the toaster.

He proceeds to take damage from redrover's post! (thistakesupredrover'saction) Since Aeisenberg's action is Before redrovers action, their action alters the effects of redrover's action. Instead of the Godmodder summoning the nightmare by similar names.... well, the summoning'll happen in the EORR, but its a different thing now. still not what the Godmodder wanted to choose though.
Action 3: I enchant the drill, making it dig faster.

Eishalon- Vessel of grief summoned! The Eishalon is either left, middle or right (you have to decide which position to target ahead of time). it has 2 action- one mid player-dop, one after everything else. its attacks are based on the relative distance of its targets- long, short and med. it gets one move and one attack each round. it has ?? damage mites. when a damage mite is struck, it rolls a random number generator from 1-20, and reduces the attack by that number. if it remains bigger then 0, reduce by one mite. repeat. when it looses a mite, a -1 is placed next to the ??. The Eishalon has 2 energy. it uses this to do things other then change to left, right or middle, or slash with its scythe. The Eishalons orders are decided when i finish the dop, before people post. The eishalon's attack works the same way as damage mites, but in reverse. The godmodder takes his turn to restore the eishalon's energy to 3/3. (arriving took 1 energy)

The potato car is wavering... they don't act this round.
the reaper, working with hatsune and piloted by the deva, deals 10 damage.
The slime decides to create slimelanders!... by fakeDnD rolling, they get 3/5, making it a 50/50 chance. they then win the logical coinflip. slimelanders summoned! the process is unreliable, so you only get 10.
The seekers strike back as the door slams open,murderizing... 3: the mechanical reaper. it's ded son.
The marines unleash a salvo. 10 damage to... the players! 3 to books, 3 to acerak and 4 to wooby!

I frequently use this update in particular as a spot to check how things will look posted, without posting them. anything below this point is that, and is not from 2018 when this update was originally posted, though usually I'll remove it shortly after I check.

Okay, no. That's absolute BS. I refuted it in the Discord and I'm refuting it here. Taking away my agency as a player for a cheap joke/a miniscule amount of plot progression is, although not the single worst thing a GM has done to me in a DTG-styled game, ranks pretty high up there. You better FREAKING not make a habit out of this JOE. I am incredibly pissed off right now. I don't even care that I lost the 5 charges. I'm just pissed that you'd hijack my character like that.The shopkeeper takes the piece of dirt and chucks it at the game master's metaphysical computer screen.Made before JOE edited his thing.The Shopkeep's a bit too preoccupied with cussing out the GM and almost doesn't notice when a filmy white light fills up another one of the vials inside his cloak.
He tosses another charge into the machine while grumbling under his breath, and flicks up the screen for watching the lifes and times of the combine harvester.
Bob was a farmer. One day he got in a fight with his boss, a notoriously angry farmer, and watched his boss fall into an interdimensional wormhole that sucked him away.
Bob was guilt-struck, he always blamed himself even though it wasn't really his fault, so one day, when that interdimensional wormhole opened up again, he got in the nearest piece of machinery and drove right through it.
He was dumped in the middle of a lawless land, not the battlefield of CTG, but a different far off world, where with the might of his combine harvester he conquered many lands in the search for his old boss, until he forgot all about his boss and just grew into being a meanspirited warlord who wanted to conquer everything with his combine harvester.
And so that continued until the day he accidentally drove his harvester into ANOTHER interdimensional portal that plopped him on the OG's side of the battlefield, where he had an extremely short lived life, watching a single Hatsune Miku concert and attack a door once before being torn apart by Seekers of the Name
"Wow. Even the fivers aren't doing too hot."
He listens to something, having apparently calmed down some.
"True... I wonder what it's up to."

Godmodder takes Retaliation Damage from the CLOUDED MIRROR DEFENSE due to attacking something in the fortress. Actually, it is also blocked by the fortress because I ORDERED THE BASILISK CORPSE TO BE PUT IN THE FORTRESS! :) Whoops! And since Godmodder failed to account for this to counter this in his attack, The Godmodder actually takes partial retaliation damage! What, I didn't create this fortress for nothing! Godmodder takes no Retaliation Damage and the Fortress blocks all damage from the attack. The best part of this is that Godmodder doesn't even know the fact his attack was blocked by the fort due to a successful counter-divination by our favorite No-Elemental. Nice work! :)
Action: I upgrade Turret B's Range, allowing it to cover the whole Fortress. If necessary, I'll build the turret higher so it can cover the fortress.
Orders: Practice Dodging Skills.
Charge for the charge god, churg for the throne of auctions.

Hello all! as redrover pointed out, the Godmodder should have taken a damage from his turrets! as such, A different series of events shall play out. you may edit your posts accordingly.Taking 1 Damage, the Godmodder mumbles about the smell of burnt hair. He quickly presses a button on his tablet-like device. the device glows black, before he shoves it into his inventory again.off in the distance, black smoke gathers as sunset rapidly approaches. the smoke forms into a shape..._____________________________-----[The second shard, NIGHTMARE ]----....It's a horse made of black smoke. not a nightmare, a night mare. as in a female horse, associated with night for some reason.GODMODDER: ...wrong button. why did I think this one was a good idea?[AG-Shard] Night's Mare ???

Action 3: I enchant the drill, making it dig faster.

I just need to figure out how to get other people interested in the auction.EORR
the slimelanders lower the door to 1 HP!
the slime king molds itself to the shape of the reaper. it is now the Armored Slime Reaper. it got a small power boost from hatsune. the toaster heals it.
The minion potato cop car throws potatos at 4 seekers of the name. they die. the deva finishes off the door. still demoralized. still only does between 1and 2 damage.
The tendriled monsters can't open the door since its destroyed, so they grab booksbooks for 5 damage. the marines unleash a hail of bullets on the slimelanders and kill all of them.
The remaining seekers of the name chomp into the toaster, and eat its toast. 8 damage to the toaster.

Distracted by your singing, the Godmodder unknowingly presses the wrong symbol option.
((you charge)) ((post shrunk in hopes of making this bit flow better))
Since Aeisenberg's action is Before redrovers action, their action alters the effects of redrover's action. Instead of the Godmodder summoning the nightmare by similar names....
well, the summoning'll happen in the EORR, but its a different thing now. still not what the Godmodder wanted to choose though.
everyone else realized crusher 49 is here for comedy.
the mushroom zambies, unordered, put out the mycelium shield.
The lesser elemental hoard gains dodging skills level 2. they now have a 5% dodge chance when not reminded to dodge things.
The new mineral pile goes unsorted due to the hoard being busy. the NO elemental keeps working.
the builders build. -5 iron, +2% done, +20 HP.
The Godmodder pockets his tablet. a red ectoplasmic body, transparent and cracked, appears in the middle of the field, curled up.
((((someone else made this, not me. the entity is inspired by their story)))
Eishalon- Vessel of grief summoned!
The Eishalon is either left, middle or right (you have to decide which position to target ahead of time). it has 2 action- one mid player-dop, one after everything else. its attacks are based on the relative distance of its targets- long, short and med. it gets one move and one attack each round.
it has ?? damage mites. when a damage mite is struck, it rolls a random number generator from 1-20, and reduces the attack by that number. if it remains bigger then 0, reduce by one mite. repeat. when it looses a mite, a -1 is placed next to the ??.
The Eishalon has 2 energy. it uses this to do things other then change to left, right or middle, or slash with its scythe.
The Eishalons orders are decided when i finish the dop, before people post.
The eishalon's attack works the same way as damage mites, but in reverse.
The godmodder takes his turn to restore the eishalon's energy to 3/3. (arriving took 1 energy)
