Let's start by saying I really love this and am cool with the total confusion and chaos and unknown of what to do. I never read the game manual and usually have to remake my characters after totally messing up my first account on any RPG. I admit it's frustrating but all add's another layer. (PS I'm not ass kissing...lol).
As for my turns. I will hire 1 lumberjack and 1 miner and send them both on their assigned roles to harvest lumber and stone.
I will set off foraging for food, since I don't trust the hired help and feel quite qualified to do this task.
At this time, I will decline to trade with anyone else, but quite happy to negotiate and open any formal diplomacy channels with everyone else. I have also upvoted everyone comments as a show of good will and hope that somehow helps me.
I will also be increasing my delegation by an additional 150SP in hope that reaps me some sort of additional benefit next round.
PS where the heck did @carrieallen get teenagers from, and when will the cookies be ready!
Lol! I went back through and reread the given info... Turns out I just assumed that the boat came with colonists and to me that includes ALL ages. At least all the pictures in my head do. 🤔
I went back and decided it possible this was a small boat of folks to get started and we'd send for others later. But was confused at the ability to PAY people who weren't part of the game.
Alas, it's been confirmed. I don't have any hard-working teenagers. 😏
But- no doubt I'll find the supplies to make cookies in no time!
Side note: the ONLY other (kinda) RPG I've played was a post-apocalyptic online story. I (as usual) chose to be the cook/baker. So a big part of my foraging was finding things to make sweets/snacks. As morale is HIGHLY boosted with things like these. I still think it's important. 😉
Also, I do hope your first few days on the island proof successful and safe. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. 😍
Dont know about Carrie's teenagers.
Your actions are noted. I also dont read game manuals or wikis, this seems natural to me. :D
Greetings fellow colonist,
My colony, the 'DoEMaAC', are always open to negotiate on any diplomatic relationships.
