Alien Attack!

"bee refinery"

Not exactly, a "bee refinery" converts bees into whatever projectile you want them to be converted into. Like say I want an ice bee refinery so my weapons will shoot ice bees. Or a poison bee refinery, etc.

Sorry for going out of my way to make this "authentic". I have to associate everything with a story. Also sorry for apologizing for everything.

re·fin·er·y (r-fn-r)
n. pl. re·fin·er·ies
An industrial plant for purifying a crude substance, such as petroleum or sugar.

Anyway... it's just flavor, right?

Update: Confused my own data and I just want to clear some things up. Like I said I came up with this and it's really just a prototype game, so it's not gonna flow 100% smoothly. My first time managing anything like this and your first time playing it.

Right now, the aliens have 300,000,000 HP. The damage you do to the aliens will obviously decrease their HP and their decreased HP will carry on to the next round. So if you all collectively do 22,000,000 damage to the aliens now, they will start the next round with 278,000,000 HP.

As for actions: People still seem to be confused on what they can do and what the actions actually are.

- Shooting will shoot the number of bees you specify. People can steal the bees that you choose to shoot.
- Guarding will protect the number of bees you specify from theft. You can't shoot bees that you guard.
- Stealing will attempt to steal the number of bees you specify from someone else. If someone has bees open for theft equal to or greater than the amount you're trying to steal, you will acquire that number of bees and shoot them for points (They won't be added into your supply, they'll be converted directly into points). If someone has bees open for theft but it's less than the amount you're trying to steal, then you'll steal whatever they have open for theft but you won't get points for it, you'll just acquire the bees.
- Giving will give your bees to someone else. If the person you gave the bees to is shooting on his/her turn, you'll get points for however many bees you gave to him/her, but so will he/she. When someone tries to steal bees from the person you gave yours to, his bees take priority of being stolen. For example if you gave 5000 bees to someone who's shooting 6000 bees and a third person tries to steal 4000 bees, the second person's 4000 bees will be stolen but he'll still shoot your 5000 and the 2000 he has remaining.

I really hope that clears things up. Obviously this is more complicated than mafia or any other game that's on this forum so far.

If people don't get it, just do trial and error (and hopefully don't die )

So basically is:

Alien has 300m of HP
You can do 2 actions per turn.
how bees refined has no effect in damaging alien.

Order of calculation of remaining bees:

[Starting bees] + [bees given by others] - ([stolen bees] - [unguarded bees]) - [shot bees(shot the given bees first)] - [bees given by you] = Remaining bees.

Correct?

Yes. Your 2 actions must be done at the same time, also. Like you can't shoot and then guard later, you have to shoot and guard simultaneously.

Round 1 was rough. People didn't exactly understand how to play the game very well, so I'll try to have it used as an example for future reference. For that purpose I'll post the spreadsheet displaying all user actions. The round won't actually be counted since 1. there were a handful of idle people and Corn would've been eliminated; that's not fair, since Corn submitted his actions, and 2. no one had a real general understanding of how to play

I'm so confused, so I stole 250k bees from Jon successfully? Where did my 500k shot bees go? SO CONFUSED!

...oops. I accidentally put in that you got robbed of 500,000. Fixed.

I've got the recipe for MOLTEN BEES. Clearly the best place to go.

I shoot guys made of bees. You just added fire; I gave them a literal hive mind.

Off topic guys but the fact that an alien related thread is created by ben is abit hilarious to me..

Sorry about not sending an action in, lost track of time.

Same.

Okay well...anyway, I'll consider this just a practice round. The real round 1 will end at midnight tomorrow. In the interest of time, two people will be eliminated every round from now on. If you're idle you take priority of being eliminated. You will also not receive any additional bees the next round if you're idle and not eliminated. PMs will not be resent. Just refer to the ones all of you were sent initially.

Round 1: Ends at 11:59 PM PST November 21, 2010

Alien HP: 300,000,000

Greg and I think alike. Spooky.
