Welcome to Gaia! ::

-This is a feature that I originally ruled out as too complicated, but I think the way I simplified it will make it feasable. [Support Info]That said, however, please help me make sure I'm correct during games!
-Creating supports can be done two ways: The first is done natually by ending the ally phase on the same space as somebody. This will increase the growth by 1 point. The other way is to talk to somebody. Now, in order to prevent people from slowing the game just to build their supports for 30+ turns by talking, I'm going to instill a rule that you can only talk to each of your teammates once. This means you can talk to them and they can talk to you with their own talk action. I'll also give an exp deduction at the end of the game in the bexp section if I see that people are just waiting on the same space instead of progressing the game.
-In the google doc, you'll see that some people already have support levels. I looked over in the supports subforum and allocated the already existing support levels for characters that have Boardgame info in the doc. If your suports aren't updated in there, sorry. :U
-Support bonuses will be noticeable in game by the bonus stats.
-Support levels rank up once characters reach a certain amount of points. I have already been tracking points in the previous games. The levels are: C - 80 | B - 160 | A - 240

-Field Effects
--When a unit lands on a space and event event post takes place, there will now be an additional thing that could happen on top of Nothing, Item Pickup and Trap. This event type is called Field Effects.
--For each game, I will select a number of effects from an overall list that I will create in the info hub. When a unit lands on a field effect space, I will post a RNG that will select one of the effects on the list.
--These effects could be things such as causing certain weather to happen, healing or buffing you or your enemies, or even granting double exp. These effects are temporary and can stack, unless one of them negates one that is in effect.

-In the new Boardgame subforum, I'll be making a couple new topics that you can post in outside of games, when you're not taking part in one. These topics will allow you to make preparations before each game.
--Guild Office
---In the guild office, you can allocate items to and from your inventory and the guild inventory. The items located in the guild inventory are open for anybody to take. Items located in a Transporter's convoy at the end of a game will go into guild inventory.
---You can also put special items that you don't want to take into a game or put into guild inventory into your own personal item storage. All guild members are allotted their own limited storage space upon membership. As space is limited in the office, the default amount of space permitted will allow 5 items. However, storage level can be increased by purchasing space with their in-game gold. Member storage can be increased to a maximum level of 5, each level increasing the amount of items that can be stored by 5. The cost of purchasing the first storage upgrade is 10k and the cost for each further upgrade increases an additional 10k, with the final level 5 storage costing 40k.
---This is also the location where you can view the skill inventory of your characters and allocate them before each game, if needed.
---Instead of me updating people's info every time they make a change, I'm just going to have people post once in the topic I make so that they can edit their own characters' info when they do something. This is on you to make sure that the info is up to date before each game starts, as I will look in this topic to see what your character's current inventory, skills and gold are.
---It would also help if you keep a log of what you do, just in case there's some confusion.
---To take something out of the guild inventory, post it in the discussion topic and let a crew know so that the inventory can be edited.
--Shops, Armory, Blacksmith
---These shops will exist outside of games and will contain basic items able to be purchased.
---The vendor and Armory will also have a couple special items from Leena's shop on sale that will change every game.
---The blacksmith will repair weapons for gold and allow weapons to be forged for a handsome amount of gold that nobody currently has right now lol
---I would like permission from Lethe and Nom to use Aruna as the Eyris shopkeeper and Enailios as the weapon forger. This wouldn't effect any gold that receive.
---It is very important that you update your information in the guild office after you purchase or sell items, otherwise I will not count these changes when I take your info for the next game you enter.
---You cannot buy a new item if you do not have any room in your inventory or storage. You will have to sell something, give it to somebody, or donate it to guild inventory. If you donate to guild inventory, contact any crew to place it in for you.

-Being taken out of the game for good just isn't fun, so I decided to allow people to come back into the game if they want to, but not without any penalty.
--First, the unit will be taken out of play for 5 turns. On the phase that they are allowed to return, they simply need to make a post in the topic of them coming back into play, at any time during the phase. They will then placed at the end of the player turn order, in front of any dancer or bard.
--Secondly, they will need to pay a fee for their wounds being healed. The first defeat will cost 5k and each defeat after that will increase by another 5k. If you cannot pay the fee, then you will be out of the game.
