Author Topic: The Blocko Trail (Oregon Trail) - tber123 is making a new thread, thread locked.  (Read 4672 times)

Many kinds of people made the trip to Oregon.

You may:
1. Be a banker from Boston (lods emone ($16000), but no score multiplier).
2. Be a carpenter from Ohio ($8000, 2X score multiplier).
3. Be a farmer from Illinois (Least amount of money ($4000), but has a 4X score multiplier).

What is your choice? _

This will play out like the Oregon trail (I am actually playing it online). Right now, you must choose a number in the poll.

Play as a banker, because EZ Mode.

Also if you run into a river, you must FORD THAT stuff LIKE A MAN. The river being 9 feet deep is irrelevant.

What version of Oregon Trail are you playing?

BLF has chosen Carpenter.
There will be 5 people going on the trail:
1. BLF
2. Badspot
3. Rotondo
4. Ephi
5. mocheeze

Here is the advice:
You attend a public meeting held for "folks with the California - Oregon fever." You're told:

If you leave too early, there won't be any grass for your oxen to eat. If you leave too late, you may not get to Oregon before winter comes. If you leave at just the right time, there will be green grass and the weather will still be cool.

BLF decides to go in May.
Everyone goes over to Matt's General Store to get supplies.

The 5 travelers decide to get some of the basics. They purchase 4 yoke (8 oxen), 300 pounds of food, 10 pieces of clothing, 10 boxes of ammunition, and 3 spare wagon wheels, wagon axles, and wagon tounges.
$370 is left. Remember that it is a good idea to save some money to get some more supplies later on in other stores.
Possible actions:
  • Purchase more supplies
  • Leave the store and begin the trip.

Food. We need lots of bacon for the trip.

Food. We need lots of bacon for the trip.
The 5 travelers decide to purchase 100 more pounds of food.
$350 is left.
Possible actions:
  • Purchase more supplies.
  • Leave the store and begin the trip.

Ammo. Lots and lots of ammo. We're going to be hunting the stuff out of everything that moves. The entire world will go extinct.

Leave the store, 10 boxes of ammo should be enough, right?
