You would think he would have left a provisional for the first action of the phase, at the very least... but nope :D

24 weekday hours and no show. I think that's enough. I'm going to take his turn for him.

Edit: Done. Now over to Gnaw

Hmmm.
The only thing I can see him really crying about might be the ‘skip construction’.

*shrug*

Shit. Now I’ve got to decide...

Fair point, especially after Twelve's build. What the heck, I'll add one in, he's got enough strategy counters.

@Blend (and I guess everyone else)

Just FYI a really minor thing you might notice on the next map update: since you added a second CT to the Lodor system the 2nd one placed actually gets sent to your reinforcements instead.

The rules in-question:

Quote

23.3 After the active player resolves the primary ability of the
“Construction” strategy card, each other player, beginning
with the player to the left of the active player and proceeding
clockwise, may place one command token from his strategy
pool in any system. If he already has a command token in
that system, the spent token is returned to his reinforcements
instead.
Then, he places either one PDS or one space dock on a
planet he controls in that system.

Except it was a holiday in the UK. Holiday, beach trip, and a friend's birthday.

If no one minds I am going to edit the move D'rek did for me. They are not massive changes so shouldn't affect anything for anyone else. It was fairly close to what I was thinking of doing.

Morgoth and ItGnaws - I would like to set up some sort of scheme to keep us in the top half spots for the Speaker token for a while longer - without it falling to me allthe time to take Politics. Are you guys game?


Oh, I likes that idea.
Guess that means morgoth or I take it next?



Preferably one of you, yes. Speaker to you this round and you taking Politics next, promoting Tatts to Speaker is the easiest way to success, but I think it's important the three of us plan.


I'm agreeable to this. First and last pick is not bad at all.

Glad to hear! Means we essentially have a rotation that can only improve in quality if the Nekro are prepared to participate in occassionally taking the Politics card, like any species with the intelligence and reasoning of a biological being would.

Hey twelve, I am considering making a claim to Tar'Mann, though with a minor and non-threatening force. I would be happy to both trade and provide a free refresh for you, if you chose not to use your pds when I activate that system.

Nico, who are you going to trade goods with? Need to swap any with me? I could do either 2:2 or 1:1

Blend are all yours assigned or would you like to go for 2:2?

Gnaw/Twelve would either of you like to trade 1:1?

Would you be amenable to doing the politics card this next time? I would really like to have construction next. I’ll take politics the next time around.
