I have a feeling we're going to be waiting until tomorrow for Khell's move at this rate!

You all should be more like me! I have my entire round planned out in my PMs with D'rek so that she can post for me if I'm not around, not that there have been many times when I haven't been around! :p

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

I'm around but not near a computer. Watching the Champions League, will post my move later this evening.

Yes. Be like Blend.

And if you really want to be a superstar (which you all should), you should layout to me what you would want to do if any of your neighbours attacked you, if/when you would retreat, if/when you would use any special abilities in battle, etc. We don't want the game to get bogged down in any "I dunno if ___ would want to use their action card here or not. We'll have to pause combat and wait for them..."

Well, do you want me to just post it, doing what you had planned in PM?

No thank you!

I'll only be an hour or so.

Did that on my first turn and will do that on Friday, but I am now in Bologna drinking Aperol-Spritzers, eating tagliatelle al ragu and having my wife frown at me everytime I type something on the phone because she thinks I am working (and she's partly right, because I am).

Congratulations, Khell! With your expenditure of political leverage, the Winnaran custodians have disabled the barrier fields surrounding the old Lazax palaces and parliament buildings, letting in your troops and administrators. Soon thereafter you send missives out to every inhabited planet bidding them send representatives to the reborn galactic assembly, which will soon be in session again.

1VP for you, and the Agenda Phase is now unlocked.

Yes. The message in my post above is the total extent of the missive sent out.

Also, FYI, in the lore it was the Sol that plasma bombed all of Mecatol Rex (except for Mecatol City itself) into radioactive wasteland in the first place :p

I'm not near a computer, and will be heading to bed soon but my provisional holds. I'll be moving all my ships to gwynan and occupying it.

I need to read up on how voting works. But if anyonr wants to save me time do we spend influence to cast votes?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Tatts, Gnaw, is there a chance we can make a combined offer to Blend to get the Speaker token to Tatts? My main wish is an early enough Strategy selection to have options. I am sure that also goes for you guys. As such, why not pool resources in a communal offer to Blend?

It will eliminate competition amongst each other in which each new 'best' bid is just an invitation by him for a new one.


Like what do you have in mind?

Right now, an offer equivalent to what Khell offered in round 1, or so. Ideally, we already break it down in TG and divide the cost 3/2/1 in order Tatts-ItGnaws-me.


I’m ok working together if needed. I think my PN is tasty all by itself.

Hey ItGnaws, just to avoid accidents: Am I correct in assuming you are claiming the Dal Bootha system?

Look man, I don't want to say they were asking for it, but it definitely wasn't our fault! If people would just let us goddamn have what is goddamn owed to us, then there'll be no trouble.

I also just want you all to know, us humans won't be like those hoity-toity Lazax. No emperor this, benevolent Malazan Lazax empire that.

Your Worshipful Eternal Presidency will do.

Yes oh Haughty Short Lived Dictator we will bow to your greatness.

What are people's thoughts on those agendas?. Thinking I might be targeted with the second one as I have a lot of infantry on one of my planets. Not sure if I'd be okay with it or not. On the one hand I lose lots of soldiers but I'd be more than compensated for their disbandment on the other.

For the first I'm thinking IH. If Nico is looking to attack he might want the high risk high reward benefit. Unless anyone else want that option.
