I'll be sticking two cruisers on Lodor. I won't be able to invade it until next round, but I can defend the shit out of it.

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.

Ok, I'll post this in a little bit.

I thought we only see one agenda, vote then see the second.

We're house-ruling the agenda phase a bit a lot to make it more forum-friendly (and IMO more fun overall)

I need to read up on how voting works. But if anyonr wants to save me time do we spend influence to cast votes?

Each of your planets gets an amount of votes equal to its influence value, and each of your planets can vote on one agenda or the other. So if your planets' resources/influence values are (1/3), (2/0), (1/1), and (2/2), you've got one useless planet and the other 3 can vote on one agenda each, with 3, 1, and 2 votes, respectively. You can put all 6 votes onto one agenda and abstain from the other, or you can do 3 votes to one and 3 votes to the other, or you can do 1 vote on the first and 5 on the second agenda, etc.

Doesn't matter if your planets are exhausted or not (rules-wise, they are all refreshed before the agenda phase and again at the end of it, but I prefer to think of voting a wholly separate thing from flipping planets for influence).

You can *not* spend trade goods on additional votes. But you *can* give trade goods, commodities, or promissory notes to other players in order to bribe them to vote the way you want. You can make these trades with *any* player, not just your neighbours.

For each agenda, you can only vote for one outcome. E.g. if there's an "Elect a Player" agenda, you can't put 2 of your votes towards Khell and 3 votes towards Tapper. You can abstain from either vote, or both. You don't have to use all your votes if you don't want to.

Everyone submits their votes for both agendas to me via PM, and once I have them all I announce and implement the results, then we move on to the next round.

“Activate Integrated Economy exhaust Everra and place zero troops on Mellon and 4 infantry on Zombat and 2 fighters in orbit”

Ok, that’s going to get annoying after awhile.

It only works the first time I take control of a planet. I only really see it happening one more time.

Nico, how likely is it that you will play tech until after diplomacy or trade has been played?

Technically, if you lose control of a planet to someone else and then regain control of it you can also use integrated economy then, so it's not limited to the *first* time. But I think you meant more to point out that you can't use it continuously on planets you already control, which is true.

[twelve]

That's assuming I lose it the first place. Even with my crappy troops I'm going to make it hard on people to do that.

That’s a good question

[Nicodimas]

Are we going to be allowed to refresh commodities and trade again tatts ?

[twelve]

If you are on the fence is there anything you would want? If you wait then I should have my pn back from blend that I'm willing to give you. Grants you a free tech. Interested?

Wait how long ?

President Khell, first and foremost congratulations from the Sardakk nation, and its glorious leader, Kkim Sardakkian.

Secondly, On behalf of SNNN (Sardakk N'orr News Netw'orrkk, "the home of propaganda approved news"), can you tell us how you plan to hold Mecatol with such a small occupying force, all your planets exhausted and no space docks closeby? Totally just asking for a friend.

Until after diplomacy is played preferably but if not then after trade as long as I get at least 2 trade good from a trade before I have to play the tech secondary.

"SNNN (home of approved truth) reports that Grand Admiral Chuck N'orr (also first Tekklar Ranger) has, and we quote, "no interest in roundhouse-kicking the Hacan fleet out of Lodor, no matter how funny that would be in light of recent Space Cat statements."

Sardakk government officials maintain our only interest is in Mallice. In the words of the Oracle Kkanye, brood mate to High Leader Kkim: "we already have North and West covered. Now we look beyond the stars, to the Nexus. We just Watch The Throne, not plan to sit on it, man. Also, join me tomorrow for Kkanye's New Workout Plan."

That is currently under consideration. I am thinking that I'm out of the loop negotiation wise and that Khell has a good board position. The Ghosts understand that their neighbours should be kept happy.
