So let's see: IH is going to be on 8, maybe 9VP at the start of next round, and we're going to let him pick Imperial and be in prime position to take Rex.

Ok, good thinking everyone!

1. I thought the negotiations are dead since Blend doesn't want in?
2. If not, then they are stalled until Nico responds?
3. I haven't even named anyone Speaker yet?
4. I can't let Twelve pick Imperial. I can't let IH take Imperial. I can't let Gnaw take Imperial. I can't let Morgoth take Imperial. Then, I can't let Twelve pick Politics to allow him to make himself Speaker and pick Imperial the round after. I can't let IH pick Politics to allow him to make himself Speaker and pick Imperial the round after. I can't let Gnaw pick Politics to allow him to make himself Speaker and pick Imperial the round after. I can't let Morgoth pick Politics to allow him to make himself Speaker and pick Imperial the round after. And essentially, I can't do the same with you, either.

Without my home worlds I can't score points. Without logistics I won't even have a realistic chance of getting it back so if I or Khell isn't named speaker I have zero chance of getting Logistics so therefore have zero chance of winning. I'm pretty much dead in the water.

It depends, I never got confirmation that IH actually took my deal to take my cruiser upgrade card. It does't look like it but all game long I've struggled with knowing what he is actually agreeing to or not.

The card is worth 2VP for IH, so there was no way he wouldn't take it. You should have kept mum about it.

Pretty much, I was spending my time working out who was most likely to have that action card!

I offered you my racial pn that would have been better than that card as you wouldn't even have had to spend resources to get the tech.

Check your PMs from a couple days ago - it says which card IH took (and your front PM was updated accordingly).

I checked just yesterday and it was still the same. Was the forum down Saturday? There was a time I couldn't log in.

Huh, my pm shows the changes now.

Gnaw has passed, Morgoth's turn then Khell then Tapper.

[Tapper]

"This is SNN, home of government approved truth. In reaction to the lies of Hacan emissaries and the subsequent invasion of Mallice, which has already been called a betrayal of the grandest kind and a ruthless abuse of our trust, we await the reaction of our High Leader."

"We now move to our White Mount correspondent, Jake Tappe'rr. Jake?"

"My sources tell me the High Leader Kim merely shrugged."

"She merely shrugged?"

"I can also quote The Oracle Kanye, who referred to it as "no biggie.""

"What are we to deduce from this?"

"The irrelevance of the Hacan Military in the eyes of our leaders, mostly."

[Gnaw]

The Co-Consuls of the Naaluu Republic greets High Leader Kim. And remind the High Leader that the only species who have not lied to and/or betrayed him are the Virii and our majestic slithery selves. In the words of the immortal Solarian columnist Molly Ivins we suggest that you keep dancing with the ones who bring ya to the dance.

[Morgoth]

well now, this will be an interesting next round for sure.

That was a nice move. Twelve pretty much told you what he was doing, and you countered nicely.

Edit, although he did ask Khell to put a ship in Quann.

And that's pretty much why I was hesitant to do it, as I told twelve. However, I will do the other thing he asked me to do.

@Morgoth: Shit, I was just re-reading the expanded rules. Rule 72.2/B says there's actually a maximum number of techs Nekro can obtain from fights, and after that if they want more they also have to pay 6CTs!

Blend/ Khell, you might want to put a ship in the empty space between my homeworld and Lodd Eru to prevent Morgoth from sneaking away taking Lodd Eru. That just means he takes more of my planets if he opts to run but it is what it is.

Yeah, I can do that, got nothing better to do anyway.

Done.

[Khellendros]

@ Blend:

I imagine you were intending to use Military Support on Mallice. But now that your invasion was unsuccessful, what do you want to do? If you're not using it on my go just now, I'm happy for our deal to just be called off, you give PB to someone else and return the PN to me.

That is some fire power Tapper had, what lovely rolls. Can Blend not spend TG's to improve his rolls?

I'm not reading this anywhere, I have been on a few sites now.

Tapper next, Twelve has passed, IH after Tapper.

Only on the fleet his flagship is in, never during ground combat.

Just had that in the back of my mind somewhere.

Talking about Flagships, have you seen the Nekro's? Since Khell made me read up on them, once destroyed it destroys every ship in the system.

That's the Yin, isn't it?

[Tapper]

I have to play Politics, but I will pause the game a bit.


Gnaw, Morgoth: I'd like to know from Gnaw and Morgoth which of them picks up Politics if I make Gnaw (or Tatts) Speaker, per the original agreement: I've done my share of our second merry-go-round this round. If there is no agreement, I will look out for what's best imho.

IH: we haven't heard anything from Nico yet. That's unfortunate, because I want an assurance from him if we're to proceed. But if this was played around a real table, well.... let's say there's always someone who drank a little too much, too quickly and doesn't play at 100% capability and attention.

Yep. The Nekro's have the old 3E Yin flagship, apparently.
