That's all the picks for the Phase! We end up with the

Same-person unlocking choice and AgentDuring the game, I often thought that if a person holds 2 of the same Unlockers, then it doesn't matter to whom does someone looking to unlock pays the 2 coins. In fact, this

does

matter when evaluating the Agent, as the Agent scores equal to coins on one villager and, say, a 10-0 split is more advantageous to a 6-4 split. We haven't had someone win by single-digit amount of coins, but 2nd place downwards have been decided by Unlocker coins in the past, so this would serve as a preventive measure.

Going forward, unless mentioned otherwise, I'm going to assume that in the event this happens in the future, a player using their own Unlockers would pay to the one with more coins, while anyone with a choice of 2 Unlockers belonging to the same, other person would pay to the one with fewer coins.

Because of the lack of ruling in this area prior to the announcement, I've PM'd tris asking how she would unlock her Weaver:

tris wrote:oh right. the one with no coins

For the sake of fairness, I'm also going to allow Mist7676 to specify their target Unlocker in this post. Future unlocks of a similar fashion would follow the ruling above. Thank you for your understanding, and let's move on!

tris

started by returning

Villager 3

to Stack F for a

Lumberjack

.
And so we've had the first return in a while:

The Road

Face-down villagers (25 in Reserve)
Stack A is out of play	Stack B is out of play	Stack C is out of play	Stack D is out of play	Stack E is out of play	Ore 6 in stack F 2nd Market

Basic Villagers
Miner	8
Hayer	9
Lumberjack	6

Then, she placed the

Weaver

, going after the

Spinner

.
The Weaver is unlocked with a

Carpenter

. There's two of them, both of whom are in

Poopy Fart Ville

. tris chose to pay

2 coins

to the Carpenter with no coins.
The Weaver's placement brings a net change of

8 Gold

to the Village.

Next, she placed the

Log Rafter

after her new Lumberjack.
The Log Rafter scores 1 Silver for every Wood symbol. Things are looking up with 8 symbols, bringing her 8 Silver and potentially more down the line.

Finally, she placed the

Scribe

.
The Scribe scores 1 Silver for every villager in her hand. There's 2 currently, good for 2 Silver, but of course it depends on how her hand looks at the end.

That concludes her turn.

Splatoon Tetris

lost 2 coins but gained

8 Gold

and some Silver.

Poopy Fart Ville

's newer Carpenter gains 2 coins.
Here's a look at both Villages involved after the turn:

I'm fine keeping financial disparity within my village. (keep the rich blacksmith, maybe the other one should consider working harder!)

7 -> onto stack E, for a Hayer please.

5,2 on the Hayer.

Play 6 on the Hayer and give a few coins over to Tris.

vincentw · Post Post #685 (ISO) » Thu Feb 25, 2021 6:32 pm

Thanks for the confirmation!

As for your turn, Stack E is no longer in play, so you can't return to it. Only Stack F is available. Is that okay, or would you like to change your turn?

vincentw · Post Post #686 (ISO) » Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:51 pm

Mist has answered via PM. Thanks for confirming again!

Mist7676 wrote:oh sorry thought the open stack was E! yes to the open stack please

Mist7676

started by returning

Villager 7

to Stack F for a

Hayer

.
The stack gets refilled a tiny bit:

The Road

Face-down villagers (25 in Reserve)
Stack A is out of play	Stack B is out of play	Stack C is out of play	Stack D is out of play	Stack E is out of play	Ore 7 in stack F 2nd Market

Basic Villagers
Miner	8
Hayer	8
Lumberjack	6

After that, they placed two that go in tandem: the

Grazier

(#5) and the

Milk Maid

(#2) directly after the Hayer.
The Grazier doesn't need unlocking but the Milk Maid does, and with something they already have: the

Cooper

. Mist promptly claims

2 coins

from the Bank to go to the Cooper.
With both in place, the Village gains

2 Food

.

Finally, they placed Villager 6, the

Peddler

, also after the Hayer.
The Peddler is unlocked with the

Cartwright

, which is present in

Splatoon Tetris

. Mist needs to pay

2 coins

to tris' Cartwright.
The Peddler scores 3 Silver for every 2 Gold text. With 6 Gold text so far, they're set to earn at least 9 Silver.

That concludes their turn. The village of

Mystic

lost 2 coins but gained

2 Food

and some Silver. Its Cooper gains 2 coins, and likewise with

Splatoon Tetris

' Cartwright.

I play a Brewer; then, I get a Hayer (8F), on which I play the Grazier -> Milk Maid -> Fromager chain, using my Apprentice to get Mystic's Grazier.
Nice try, Sirius

vincentw · Post Post #688 (ISO) » Fri Feb 26, 2021 4:05 am

Felissan

started by placing the

Brewer

after the

Founders

.
The Brewer is unlocked with a

Cooper

, which exists in the village of

Mystic

. Felissan then paid

2 coins

to Mist7676's Cooper.
The Brewer can unlock 2 villagers, and its placement adds

1 Builder

to the Village.

Next, she returned

Villager 8

to Stack F for a

Hayer

.
Another uptick for the stack:

The Road

Face-down villagers (25 in Reserve)
Stack A is out of play	Stack B is out of play	Stack C is out of play	Stack D is out of play	Stack E is out of play	Wood 8 in stack F 2nd Market

Basic Villagers
Miner	8
Hayer	7
Lumberjack	6

Afterwards, she played her

Apprentice

, and her target is Mystic's

Grazier

.
After an initial pushback, the Grazier was persuaded to move to Poopy Fart Ville.
The Grazier gives the Village

1 Food

.

To wrap up her turn, she placed the rest of the chain: the

Milk Maid

and the

Fromager

, all after the Grazier.
The Milk Maid needs to be unlocked, and once again Mist's Cooper is needed for the job! Felissan paid another

2 coins

to the Cooper, as thanks for the Grazier perhaps.
With everything placed, the Village gains an additional

15 Gold

.

That concludes her turn.

Poopy Fart Ville

lost 4 coins, all going to the Cooper from

Mystic

, but gained 1 Unlocker,

15 Gold

,

1 Food

and

1 Builder

.

Unfortunately you've played too many villagers this time around; you can play 3 but you wrote 4 (#6, #8, #1, and #2).
Also, even if you're allowed to build 4, your current turn is still invalid because you've placed a villager when you can't place it. (Check your PM!)

Please take the time to revise your turn, thanks!

started by playing Villager 3, the

Tinner

.
The remaining villagers will have its unlocking fee waived.

Then, he placed Villager 7, the

Locksmith

, filling in the

Miner

's one open slot. The unlocking fee is waived.
The Locksmith scores 2 Silver for every ☒ symbol. He'll finish with 7 such symbols, good for 14 Silver, possibly more at the end of the game.

To wrap it up, he placed two that go in a chain: the

Monk

(#1, acting as a

Swineherd

) and the

Truffler

(#2), filling in the empty slot of the

Founders

.
The unlocking fee is waived, and the placements give

8 Gold

and

1 Food

That concludes his turn.

Hell! or Hell?

8 Gold

,

1 Food

and some Silver.

Only one more round to go, but things can still change! Let's see the standings, and hand updates are in PMs as usual:
