How "Party Cards" work

[Captain Jack]

Every port, can consume a finite number of crates per 3 days. After 3 days pass, this number is renewed.

Consumption: 0.1 crates per citizen per 3 days.
This means that 10M people can consume 10M * 0.1 = 1M Crates of each resource

This is called Port consumption capability (PCC) and it is a figure common for all players during the period of 3 days.

Every "party" is taken in mind to this consumption figure.
At every cast, the port will only consume as much as it can.
If the limit has already been reached, then any new cast will consume nothing but it will still consume the "party card".
If population changes in between casts, Port Consumption capability will change accordingly (no special rules, normal flow). In case the limit has already been reached and population grows, then the consumption capability will also grow.


Finally, an example:

Code: Select all

Kanoni has 10M people. This means that its Port Consumption capability for each resource is 1 million.
Player A casts a Rum Festival and he has 100K crates in his warehouse. The Party will attract 1M citizens that will consume all 100K crates he has in his warehouse. The port consumption capability (pcc) for Rum will drop to 900k.
More players follow, bringing pcc to 50k
Player B who has 200k crates in his warehouse, casts a new Rum Festival. The Festival will attract 500k citizens that will consume the remaining PCC of 50k. The player warehouse will be left with 150k.
Player B decides to grow the population by 2M more. This will rise the PPC by 200k more. He then holds another Party which will consume his remaining 150k and will leave 50k ppc.

One cannot drink too much.

Thanks CJ!

[Maha]

is there a way to find the pcc of ports?

[Vane]

is there a way to find the pcc of ports?

Citizens X 0.1 = PCC for 3 days

If I understand correctly.

[Maha]

maha asked the wrong question and got the right answer on the wrong question, for the right question that maha intended to ask it was the wrong answer.

what maha thought he had asked is whether 'the number of citizens in a port that are still willing to participate in an all you can eat, drink or smoke event' is somewhere available to the interested parties.

according to the example does the pcc drop after each party:

Kanoni has 10M people. This means that its Port Consumption capability for each resource is 1 million.
Player A casts a Rum Festival and he has 100K crates in his warehouse. The Party will attract 1M citizens that will consume all 100K crates he has in his warehouse. The port consumption capability (pcc) for Rum will drop to 900k.
More players follow, bringing pcc to 50k

maha has no desire to waste parties on ungrateful non-participants. Maha likes to know when to party and when to abstain from frivolous activities and pay attention to his lovely wife and his boring governor in law

Shadowood thinks this number is not available.. Shadowood says Maha must roll the dice.

[Maha]

Maha is going to visit several governors to ask for party issurances.
maha humbly asks the esteemed governor Shadowood of Tzogos to garantee a decent compensation when (after 35.240.000 cases of rum) Tzogoz stops to participate in well meant festivals organised by the forementioned humble Maha.

[William one eye]

If residents of Isle of Man, do not show up to Maha's party in a port controlled by Isle of Man,
Isle of Man may at its own discretion choose to reimburse Maha for the cost of Maha's invitations.
Maha will not be compensated for crates of cargo that remain in Maha's warehouse.

Please remember to file for a public assembly permit, temporary use permit if this event will be help on public grounds, alcohol use permit, temporary food facility permit, noise ordinance waiver. To insure swift permit approval we recommend that all permit requests are submitted to the king or governor and are accompanied by 500 k gc. 1 mil gc for rush service.

[Maha]

Maha regrets present day and age where a greased handshake, a cask of rum and a box of Havana's don't satisfy the esteemed governors greedy desires. it seems to Maha that the esteemed and honorable forementioned governor is overwhelmed by the daily affairs. the humble Maha refers to the nations dukes of T'Zak Ryn as ideal port marshals to oversee the red tape in Tzogos. Maha humbly invites the honorable Shadowoood to discuss the well being of the good citizens of Tzogoz over the local specialty of fish, potato's and chicken legs.

Maha closes with a toast to "King William one eye (please rise all ye gentlemen and fair ladies): "Long live king William and may his fair treatment of humble merchants and local philanthropists add glory and honor to his name!"
