Strangers in the Alps 2: Catan Strikes Back

STRANGERS IN THE ALPS pt. 2

Welcome to the second annual Catan play-by-post thread! This year I'll be taking over as game moderator while Hyde is off in Korea doing whatever it is Koreans do. Not playing Catan or going to GFF Meets, that's for sure.

Hyde set up some great parameters for the thread-game so allow me to rip his work off:

The game will play out just like a normal game of Catan with a few exceptions.

Unique House Rules
- players may trade before their roll
- players may use their ports before their roll
- players may use more than one Development Card per turn
- players may use Development Cards as soon as they are purchased.

Online Mechanics
Resources drawn are sent as a PM to the players. Development cards are also indicated in PM.

Players must indicate in bold when they END TURN.

Any road building, settlement building, city upgrades, and thief movement should be as specific as possible so the game master can properly update the game board.

The game master will moderate discussion and will interfere is cheating is suspected. The game master will regularly update the game board and keep track of points and cards. No turn may last more than 48 hours.

If you are unable to take your turn and the time limit has passed the game master will roll on your behalf and pass the turn immediately. If at any point a player must discard half their hand and that player shows no activity within the time limit your cards will be discarded at random for you.

5-6 Player game~
There are six players. The official guide has some rules but this is the Alps and we live by our own rules:
-Players may trade, build, and use developement cards BEFORE their roll. Can you survive 5 rolls?


LIST OF STRANGERS (interact with caution):
Hyde 5 Points. 1 Knight. 1 Dev Card.
Zeph 5 Points.
PANGALANG 3 Points. 1 Knight.

Plarom 3 Points. 1 Knight

THE ISLAND:

THIEF? 8 OF WHEAT IS BLOCKED

THE TOOLS:

Take note of the number of Settlements, Cities, and roads you see here. That's all you get.

THE CARDS:

Please read them carefully. You are not required to reveal what dev cards you have but the number will be noted on this post. Keep in mind dev cards RUN OUT. Resources can run out if too many people are holding.

Turns are taking days! Cooper is confused by it all!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just earlier tonight I realized I still haven't bought ingredients for a White Russian.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just earlier tonight I had a bar meeting with the other keymaster's, my main point was that we need to sell more White Russians.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just earlier tonight, I was wishing I had a White Russian instead of banging an ugly Mexican chick.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
