Did you count the minus from evolution chamber?

By my count, he did, but I think his math is still off; depending on how many drones that +3 applies to, we could have anywhere from 312 to 381 right now (counting Vanestus but not BeeBadidoo).

So... yeah, basically I'm pretty sure we've already secured enough minerals for Pool, Extractor, and a respawn for that one guy who decided he wanted to be an Evolution Chamber (or an auto-drone, if he doesn't want one of the units on offer).

Crap, you're right, I didn't apply the +3 to the auto-drones. Which would give us another 30 minerals. I also see where I screwed up. I forgot to account for the base 100 Minerals we started with.

Also... I think that I'd be okay with turning into a Heroic Spawning Pool in order to get us custom zergling strains asap. Either that or a Heroic Hatchery to get the custom drones. Actually... @Zedalb does a Heroic Drone require the extra mineral cost and Heroic Bonus expenditure to create a Heroic Building?

From how I'm reading it, you have to be a Heroic Drone to build Heroic Buildings at all, and the HB cost is in addition to the "be heroic" requirement.

Naturally, since we just started, we have 0 HB.

I just wanted to be absolutely sure, since it wasn't spelled out. Also, I figured out why my math was wrong. I'd forgotten to account for our starting 100 Minerals in my tally.
 
Are we able to spawn Zerglings the same turn we get a Spawning Pool? If not, we probably want someone to become one immediately.

Wanting to be absolutely sure is understandable; after all, I want to know if we need heroic buildings to research canon variants of units like Swarmlings. (Speaking of which, @Zedalb could you answer that too please?)

I'd feel pretty stupid if I forgot to include starting resources when the only way anyone could build something first thing would be having them.

Yes the costs stack.

Only a heroic drone can become a heroic building then you have to pay the additional cost.

It is however a lot easier in theory to genereate (HB) now since you can allow people to reroll.

WIth cooperation you can force out bonuses.

Canon stuff does not need heroic buildings.

Cool.

Problem is, you'll need to balance the variants with the baselines somehow, or we'll never have any reason to use Zerglings again after we get a variant, since they're all strictly superior (Raptors can jump around ludicrously well and have stronger attacks, Swarmlings spawn extras, and Devouring Ones just flat-out have higher stats).

...On a related note, are we allowed to research SC1 hero strains, or are we restricted to SC2 ones for research?
 
Are people allowed to change their votes in response to new situations? Like having an excess of minerals?
 
Just a question @Zedalb but if we help someone with the re-roll (instead of extra die for our own actions) we get from writing 3+ sentences a turn, do we roll the re-roll or do they?
 
[X] Collect Biomass (1d10)

This drone was very confused, what was this...situation. It felt like it should be strange, they shouldn't be taking care of a human and yet his instincts couldn't help but hyper-focus upon that fact! He would rush to find some material, even animals of it's own size if it had to!

Edit: Though it seems it was a bit overzealous in looking for biomass....
codeRR threw 2 10-faced dice. Total: 10
2 2 8 8

FYI you have a second die to roll due to your omake.
 
Gonna be honest, I didn't expect us to get the 200 minerals we'd need to get the Zergling-building. Guess I should have just waited, but eh.

If someone wants to become it this turn, go abead. I'll find something else to turn into so we don't waste the body I have. Maybe a spore crawler for defense?

We could also do with an extractor, and that's less urgent than the Spawning Pool, so it might not get done this turn.

Please no, I don't really care but it makes organization and the running tally more difficult.
So lets say not dis-allowed but socially discouraged.
 
So does my omake pass inspection? How do I use it? When can I use it?
And does Kerrigan The Queen of Blades exist here? Is the kid her daughter?

Omakes don't seem to have any approval process; as far as I can tell, it's basically a bonus given for roleplaying your action. (Disclaimer: I'm new here, so my word is not guaranteed to be accurate in this case.)

How you use the bonus depends on what you're using it for; you can either add 1d10 to your action, or pick a die anyone rolled this turn (preferably one with a bad result, like a 1) for a reroll. You can do the +1d10 thing immediately, as well as rerolling your own dice, but if you're giving the reroll to someone else you have to notify them so they can roll for themselves.

As for when... you can use a bonus immediately; haven't been here long enough to know if you can store it, but it's not like there's any reason to, considering how low the requirements are (three in-character sentences describing what you're up to is basically nothing).

Kerrigan... I'm going to assume she exists (or existed, at least); we know nothing about the kid we've got, and we will continue to know nothing about her until she wakes up and we actually manage to talk to her.
 
The above all seems to be correct you cannot save bonuses that have to be used on the turn they are earned except for heroic bonuses.

Ok...
Counting my sentences 41÷3=13.666666 so 13 rolls or 14 if you ok round ups? Maybe I should see about adding one more?
Do I absolutely have to use all of them right now or they get wasted? Or wait next turn? Or far future turns?
Also, will you make a apocrypha\sidestory tab? Or will the omakes be on an honor system?
