Fyi on the zohbat ploy, if twelve remains as having the lowest number of VP, by my reading he could choose himself as the player to reoccupy the planet, so he'd lose some troops but not the planet.


The PDS and Space Dock would also be destroyed, but yes control of the planet does not have to change players if the owner of the chosen planet has the lowest number of VP (or tied for it).

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Don't give that to 12, you'll just motivate him to do something that they shouldn't lol.


What part of "not a threat to me or from me" are you not understanding?

What else do you have to offer? And remember Blend would need to be reimbursed for any pillage losses incurred during the transaction.

I'm looking at the map and trying to figure out where you'd be wanting to go that direction. Not seeing anywhere I'm comfortable having you go...

At the moment outside of generic pns not much. I'd love to have it sure but not sure I can afford it is more the problem.

I guess it might depend on what Tatts or Blend does.

I am fine with you going through, but the 'when' of coming back might be problematic. The wormhole is after all also my way to Mallice and back.

I'm willing to give my remaining 7 votes away for the colonial agenda. 2 tg and no plundering me when blend gives me two from production biomes to vote for zohbat nico?

Or anyone else got an offer? Twelve? Blend? The obvious other target is probably morgoth who seems to be building a mighty fleet.

Seriously why are people wanting zohbat.what part of last place and having crappy ships don't people understand? Even when upgraded they are as strong as the base ships.

Blend I'm back on the fence about having a go at Nico.all this talk of removing Zohbat from me means I might have to remove all my troops in preperation of taking it back if I lose the agenda. I had planned on leaving troops there after the assault but now I don't think I can.

I'd only be voting for zohbat because Nico is the only one offering something for votes.

Happy to vote for something else if an offer is made.

Definitely will be making offers once agenda rolls around. Waiting on riders to be played first.

Even though you'd still have the planet with 1 troop and your armada, Twelve, it would still set you back in terms of invasion plans (but not attacking plans, so you could still give Nico a black eye). Plus, as you have pointed out, it's forcing you NOT to accrue VPs despite being so strong on the board, which is good for everyone else. So that's why somewhere like Zohbat would make sense.

If Blend regrets his placement of a Docks on Thibah (especially given his investment in Lodor, whixh has better stats), then this Agenda could be a reset of the Docks for him. Not at all sure that's what he wants, of course - but he would be the only player perhaps interested in wiping their own dock and regaining control immediately.

If someone is adamant to hurt Nico, they might want to target Abyz. Likewise, Bereg against Morgoth or Zohbat against Twelve - all those destroy Docks.

With regard to Morgoth: if he has the secret objective to own 4 Industrial planets, it puts his attack on Saudor (also the road to Lazar and Quecen) and acquisition of Tarmann in a new light.

@ Nico: a like-for-like exchange of those PNs would benefit you more than me. I'd be open to a deal on a 1-1 exchange of one of them if you throw in a non-piracy clause for the next few rounds (unless of course I attack you).
