I posted my move because I thought Nico taking the trade vard was all that we were waiting for. Apparently not.

Does morgoth research technology or not? Curious if this affects him. Also does each technology they have researched mean every researched technology or are the starting techs excluded?


PROPAGATION specifically states that I cannot research technology, so I would be surprised if it affects me.

Nico, I realise that you're frustrated that twelve knocked you out of a promising start, but that's hardly a good excuse to hold up the game for everyone. Even if you can't motivate yourself to be an active participant, it shouldn't be too much to ask that you at least manage to post your actions within a reasonable time. You did sign up for the game after all.

Still would have to wait for Nico's choice to be posted and for D'rek to announce the next phase before your move though.

@ gnaw what strategy card did I get ?


TRADE, and you need to make a post indicating such (with an up-to-date status block)


I played something on 12. Tell me how this resolves


Evidently not, since you didn't post it to the game thread. This ain't round 1, it's round 6, you know how this works by now. And since you were online many hours after Twelve's turn but didn't play the AC, the opportunity has now passed.

But do post an updated Status Block here or in PM for me to insert into the TRADE selection post I made for you.

Action Phase has been started. Don't have an updated map with the strategy cards moved yet, but I will edit it in when it's ready. Nico and IH have not posted up-to-date status blocks yet, so you are free to wait until then before posting your move if you want to.

I agree. Nico, if you're around and have something to post which should be in the game thread, then post it in the game thread. Don't tell us you're intending to do something and then expect D'rek to do it for you when you yourself are clearly around and able to post in the game thread. And if you're not sure at which stage the game is at, or if it's your turn, then once again, look in the game thread. That's what it's there for.


/shrug I had stated in the past through PM or use it, it was never used then.

Now I posted a response it’s not used that way either /shrug

Not really stressing it.

Hmm, this is an interesting Agenda. Nekro/Morgoth's Galactic Threat and Propagation abilities let him "gain" a technology, rather than "research" a technology. So if this Law were to pass and become action, those abilities would not be affected by the FOR effect, and likewise for anyone else who "gains" a technology (certain action/agenda cards do this).

That part is pretty clear-cut in the rules. "Research a technology" and "gain a technology" are clearly differentiated.


The AGAINST effect seems a lot more troublesome, because how would you know at the time this card resolves which of your technologies you started with, which you researched, and which you gained? The answer is quite simple: the text is copy/pasted from a list of Agendas I found online and the text is actually incorrect. If we look at the real card we see it should really say "for each technology he owns".

Oh well as long as you're not stressing it.

Never mind the rest of the people you are playing with, who are all waiting for you to make a proper post. And to find out where exactly you stand with your tokens and resources, as we all should know.

Post in the game thread what you want to do, not in PMs or in here.

@ Khell the card was public disgrace, so that was my way of asking if it can be played that after the fact. Evidently not, in the past I submitted it way beforehand on use, but the spirit of the card is really meant to be played right then.

It’s not a big deal cause 12 coulda sabotaged it. /shrug . I still think asking is the proper way to go about playing it. I asked and got denied , no biggie. A card like that it seems you have to play beforehand to play via forum.

@ 12 almost had you buddie if you lacked that sabotage. So close.

I'm talking more about posting your moves and status in full in the game thread, consistently and fairly promptly, which you haven't been doing for a while. But you have now done so for the strategy pick, so thanks for that.
