AUTOMA Pick Placements
Jim-Bot has a particular way of placing picks.
- Jim-Bot will never place a pick of your
genre
color on the board; if your color comes up on the
Automa action card it’s considered a “miss”.
- Jim-Bot can only take a pick if it is available in the
supply
; if the pick color on the Automa action is
not in the
supply
it’s considered a “miss.”
- Jim-Bot places picks in each
fret
based on pick color and available locations.
- The list below has numbers 1-6 beside the
genre
picks. To determine where Jim-Bot places each
color, remove your
genre
color from the list and follow an ascending order.
(Example: If your
genre
color is grey, Jim-Bot will attempt to put white picks into the
first fret and green picks into the fifth fret.)
- When Jim-Bot places a pick in the desired
fret
, it will always be in the lowest numbered space.
- If Jim-Bot attempts to place a pick and the desired
fret
is full, place the pick in the first available
space on the fretboard.
(Refer to the numbered Automa spaces diagram.)
- Jim-Bot uses pick powers in a particular way as well. Refer to the chart below for each color.
White
- Jim-Bot takes the next (non-player colored) pick from the
supply
and places it in the
desired space. Jim-Bot will activate this pick’s ability if possible.
Red
- Jim-Bot finds the first space containing a pick of your
genre
color and places it back in
the
bag
. Jim-bot always places red picks but declines to remove any other
genre
but yours.
Blue
- Jim-Bot will first attempt to move player picks as far apart as possible. If no player
picks are found, Jim-Bot will attempt to move picks to the desired
frets
.
Grey
-
Jim-Bot finds the first space containing a pick of your
genre
color and flips it face down. If any
other picks of your color are on the same
fret
, Jim-Bot moves this pick to the first available space.
Purple
- Jim-Bot finds the first available face down pick and plucks it, flipping it over to
reveal its
genre
color. Jim-Bot will activate this pick’s ability if possible.
Wylde
- Jim-Bot finds the first space containing a pick of your
genre
color and replaces it. If
there are no picks of your color, Jim-Bot places this in the first available space.
Face Down
-
Jim-Bot finds the first space containing a pick of your
genre
color and places this in an
adjacent space, removing your pick from the board. Otherwise Jim-Bot places this in the first available space.
Green
- Jim-Bot places this in the first available
fret
with the most picks of your
genre
color.
If there are no player picks showing or spaces avalable it is placed in Jim-Bot’s desired fret.
