Waiting on Her Holiness to answer a question before posting my move.

Khell - how did your strategic command tokens go from 4S to 5S since your last turn? Did I miss something?

Agreed, it should be 1/2/4

Tactical Action

ACTIVATE Quann.
MOVE Carrier from Mecatol Rex and Cruiser from Jord to Quann.
SPACE COMBAT N/A.
INVADE N/A.
PRODUCE UNITS N/A.

Both those 2 carriers are 2 systems away from Quann, and your carriers only have a Move of 1. How are you proposing they both reach Quann?

[twelve]

I also went and updated my last action post. If anyone wants to take a look at it to make sure I didn't make any mistakes on it either feel free to critique.

Didn't Khell research his super carriers last turn?

D'rek put that in for him, I think. Research is now set to Special Ops II.

Blend. Looks like Nico stole from you when you used my pn to take my goods. Since he didn't hold up his end of the deal who are you giving those 2 trade goods to instead? He can't steal from Tatts and he might not steal from IH. I don't think he borders ItwasGnaw. Or someone else. Just noticed D'rek edited my post saying that he swiped a good but it wasn't clear if your action post reflected that.

[Imperial Historian]

Twelve/blend/Nico anyone willing to give me two trade goods this turn? Can offer my trade PN or my support in the coming vote.

Also the tapper/tatts/gnaw/morgoth contingent, great with the scheme to keep first and take politics, but if one of you doesn't take imperial to keep it from the holder of mecatol rex each turn (likely khell or twelve), then we may as well stop playing anyway as they will have won.

The game is a race for VP, and scoring 1 or 2 a turn is most probable, the fact that khell is already 2 ahead means he's very likely to win without a concerted effort to stop him, if he gets the imperial card even one more time it's going to be very difficult for anyone to catch him. Especially considering all the additional secret objectives he has and his strong board position.

I'm going to be stealing action cards from khell (and can confirm he does not have any which would give him a combat boost since I nicked shields holding from him) while he holds mecatol, and twelve if he takes it but you guys have to contribute or we are all fucked. I don't want this game to be a race for 2nd place.

Equally if twelve gains mecatol, he is one of the races best suited to getting the various tech VP objectives which again puts him in a strong position to win,letting him get a free imperial VP is most likely going to result in a win for him.

So please for the sake of the galaxy consider this is your wheeling and dealing.

PS anyone wants my help in a scheme to kick khell off mecatol let me know.

I moved 1 Carrier and 1 cruiser, not 2 carriers.

I started 5the round with 1/2/4. I gained three command tokens with leadership secondary - 2/2/6. Blend took one by using the PN I gave him - 2/2/5. I took a tactical action - 1/2/5

Ah, I didn't notice the edit. Huh, and here I was worried about the reach of those carriers.

For all you know, Sol could be the best thing that's ever happened to this galaxy. Why not give us a chance, Martian dwarf?

I’m not pilliaging Blend actually... so you might have modified your post to try to suggest I am. Interesting tactic

Advanced carriers look good on paper, but in practice I think they're not actually all that much more useful than the original version, especially with gravity drive.

[Imperial Historian]

Also since I may not be around for the coming politicing, currently voting for colonial redistribution on khell in quann.

No real thoughts on the other agenda.

I expect you to take one when I gain some but why did she say specifically that you are taking it from Blend. Look at the post it says last modified by D'rek. I can't change that.

To be fair if you win it would be a worthy victory you've played the board very smartly. Just would like a chance to win myself.

PS if you take imperial again I'm researching bioweapons and telling morgoth which way I voted.

Well that seems extreme. A short-term solution which would only replace me with an even more powerful Morgoth controlling Mecatol. Not sure how you think such an action will help you to win, which you seem to be equating with me losing!

Maybe order of resolution if I’m pillaging you you get your commodities and really stealing from you essentially? And I pillage one as the flip occurs ... not sure that makes sense.

I mean if the above is true, why didn’t i then pillage from blend on blends turn when he traded with me? I didn’t see you short-hand to long message so maybe you left it there and drek missed it. This makes more sense
