Does it hurt at all? Not getting free High Priests for these Spellbooks?

Guess I forgot to ping @ArcSyn for that elder sign.
Does handtracker not work anymore by the way? Seems like that would have been the easy solution but it's been literal years since I used it personally.
DOOOM! Ritual.
I also get 2 elder signs for 4churches on the field @ArcSyn i got 20$ for you to give me signs with 3s on them
I will dematerialize my units at North America and pull them all back to Indian Ocean.
Again, sorry for the delay, but i had to host family that I dont particularly care for and its oddly suspicious that my Mom's office christmas party was yesterday as well.
Wouldnt be such a problem if my Aunt didnt try to find something wrong with everything. I really wanted to say that the hotel was just 15minutes down the road if she was that unhappy.

It would have been, yes. admanb told me it was long gone. I died a little inside.
I don’t know if tagging ArcSyn will work. Just send him a message.
And BEN.. I think you are -never- supposed to give free Doom points! Dude! (Maybe that’s part of your notoriety.)

Oh boo, that is too bad. Do you know the reason? Hosting issues, or admanb just didn't feel like supporting it anymore, or?
And tag worked but I guess next time I will just message, yeah.
Ritual! Tablets of the Gods activates, killing all three high priests and earning an Elder Sign for each, plus one for Ubbo. My buddy Sleeper can have a doom for borrowing Sycophancy.
Listen, folks, we all miss high priests Oleg, Francis, and Jerry. But hey! They died for the glory of the Tcho Tcho. The good news is... new high priest positions are OPEN!!
Earn two spellbooks. I'll take Terror and The Stars Are Right. High priests Karen and Jorge join the ranks, one in the Yukon and one in the Arctic. Welcome! We wish you a fulfilling, if not necessarily long, career.
At a glance, I think @NotoriusBEN Ritual'd at 6, so @Saurfang should have cost 7, right? Then mine at 5(8), so next ritual would be 9 cost? I could be completely wrong.

Right, NotoriusBEN paid 6 for his, Saurfang's cost 7, so he should be at 8 power, then mindflare pushed the cost up one more, so the next ritual should cost 9 Power.
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
Unfortunately, Saurfang grabbed a neutral Spellbook, so none for you, yet! Also, are you giving Saurfang and Daemonis extra Doom points or knocking 2 off your Ritual? @mindflare77

By my count, there is one 6 power ritual left then. If that is correct, I'm doing it. Turns out it was 7? I think I will pass this time then. Also still blood sacrificing West Africa acolyte.
Yea, stars will be nice for these freebie signs, but you aint going to get a power engine out of it.
I'm intrigued... What do you mean by a power engine, Ben?
If you can get elder signs for cheap, taking stars book is akin to making a power engine. It would work extremely well for Yellow Sign, since desolation only costs 1 and they get elder signs when they do so (caveat being hastur is out). So looking at it that way, yellow sign is power neutral at worst, since turning in their elder signs always gives at least 1power. And they get power for feast at descrated places. They can just go and go and go. All for the cost of zingaya or maybe He who must not be named.
Compared to tcho. Will never gain power from it, only mitigate the cost, maybe. Because high priest sacks are where they get their elder signs and they cost 3power to recruit. It is powerful right now, since you have 3 essentially free signs, but that value is gone next doom phase.
But you also have a problem when you reveal signs. You show everyone exactly how far from winning you are and that power gain might be needed to fend off the mob.
We're on the same page then. I think the Stars book is straight up bonkers for Yellow Sign. I wasn't trying to get the kind of engine you're describing going; I was just trying to defray my power costs.
No ritual. Since no one is intersted in monsters, and I'm already so much in the hole, Let's take Leng spiders. Hastur found a best friend. He'll never go around without him...
Stars are right was on the plan for next turn... I'll go for plan B @Daemonis
Perform Ritual, get Cursed Slumber, give 1 Doom to my friend

@mindflare77 for doom phase.
Ritual. 9->4. One Elder Sign from Ithaqua, please @ArcSyn.
@jakobagger for Doom Phase.

And like I said, I blood sacrificed one of the acolytes in West Africa, which I think technically happens now?

Ritual track: 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, Death.
Brody was 5, Ben was 6, Saurfang was 6, I'd have been the third 6. So @jakobagger, it'd be 7 power. I think. Assuming I'm looking at the right thing.
PSN/Steam: mindflare77
Yes, Blood Sacrifice happens now. In 8-player, Ritual costs are 5-6-6-6-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-9-9-9-10.
Only 5 for WW if he has that Spellbook.

Losing 2 is not a nice trade to keep them in the dirt.

Isnt it? They each get 1 or you dont get 2 because they are both grubbing for it?
Steam - NotoriusBEN | Uplay - notoriusben | Xbox,Windows Live - ThatBEN
They each got one from you, which is liveable, but now also one each from mindflare77.

Waiting on @Daemonis
I think we can safely say that Tcho-Tcho is at 15 Doom.
Map updated too.

@Mordenthral
OK, and no Ritual from me. I'll post post-Doom phase pics later tonight, but @Brody can go ahead and start off turn 3.
