That's a good idea. Try this: https://drive.google...X2v-dBDY1NyImjj

K. Gonna figure that shit out tomorrow, or later.

Wanna give me some kinda mod access? Or should I pull up the SPQR mod alt to run the game?

That could work (or Hugin & Munin). Depends on how you want to run the game, it may or may not be useful/helpful.

Hugin & Munin would maybe work? I dunno, I just need to have the same access on the Game forum as PS has on the Mafia forum, I guess? I've been a Mafia mod for so long, I don't even really know how it works outside the Mafia forum. All I really need is to be be able to have more PMs than my reg account has, and to be able to edit anything in the game thread so I can fix TI4 game thread stuff. Whatever works best works for me!

I has a 200 message limit

[Blend]

Well then. I will figure shit out, but game will not start until July 16th at best. Setting up a signup thread now!

Ugh. Did not see that coming. I knew he was close with the moves he was making at the end though but thought he was going to do it next round. And everyone was saying I was going to win. I don't even think I will come in tied for third. And the two most experienced players come in at first and second. (I'm assuming Morgoth is able to get over 8 points.) Let that be a lessen to you all.




Congrats IH. Well played.

No ties. Initiative order, remember.

[Tapper]

Well done IH!

Actually, I would not have gone for your homeworld, but for Arnor/Lor through Lodor turn 1 - that was a bit smoke-and-mirrors. Worked too well also, I lament not Sabotage-ing your Flank Speed last round.

Many thanks to D'rek for hosting, and I am sooo in for next game (when i promise I will not make a deal to hoard Politics all game).

FTFY

[Morgoth]

Congrats indeed IH! A sneaky and well deserved victory indeed!

[Morgoth]

If it’s possible to take requests I’d love to try my hands at the Arborec.

[Morgoth]

Thank you very much D’rek for your excellent modding!

[Morgoth]

Well, with my plan of leaving a reinforced Jol Nar and taking Blends home system next round, I would have been in an excellent position to claim that 2 point objective. Lots of things could have gone wrong though! I can’t wait to play again and do better!

Battle is resolved, everyone is passed, nothing left except Tapper's agenda effects but that won't have any bearing on the action phase. So...

We then proceed to the Status Phase, and after a quick double-check of everyone's SOs I can announce that IH IS THE WINNER. He will reach 11VP in this Status Phase via Revolutionize Warfare for 2 VP plus his other secret objective (Monopolize Production - Control 4 industrial planets), while no one else will reach 11VP.

Congrats to IH for the sneaky last-minute points grab, exactly the kind of tactic Yssaril excels at.

I hope everyone had a fun time!

Isn't that 10VP? Unless his secret objective was worth 2VP?

[Khellendros]

By the way, I wasn't actually throwing my game. I had an SO to have ships in non-planetary hexes, which I achieved, so I would have been on 10VP start of next round

Had they been dumb enough to leave imperial for me, I have 13 influence and 5tg. What could have been...

He reached 8 with the SO to kill a flagship, 10 with revolutionize warfare, and 11 with the other SO.

[Khellendros]

Hmm, I see on page 1 of the Game Thread IH has jumped from 6VP to 8VP (it was on 6VP when I said Gnaw shouldn't be giving his SftT to him) and in his status he is 7VP. So what is the right number here? I hate to be the sour grapes here, but the lack of clarity there is not ideal.

When did he kill a flagship? Also, you can fulfil more than one SO a round? Oh, I guess you can if they are fulfilled in different phases.

[Khellendros]

Oh I see now, it was won a combat WITH your flagship. Talk about a piece of piss SO - I had the absolute worst!

[Khellendros]

D'rek, really amazing work with modding the game, you were fantastic with how much you helped me out.


And well played all! Next time Gnaw, give me the SftT for the victory please

[Khellendros]

As points leader for most of the game, it was interesting to watch just how willing everyone was to make deals with anyone but me (this was most apparent in the agenda votes) - I think that points lead really put people off. Whereas IH's unassuming 6VP going into this round meant people were more amenable to listening to his proposals for deals, even though the crazy amounts of things he was giving away signalled that he thought he was close to winning.

[Khellendros]

My biggest boo-boo still comes down to misreading my first secret objective. Though it would have been difficult to achieve anyway, I made it basically impossible for myself by thinking it said something else. Although if I did have that extra VP going into the last round, I'm sure people would have been paying me even more attention

Your boo-boo was simple. You’re khell and you were still alive on day 3.
