Depends are you and tapper down with teaming up to vote yay on the plows hares objective? I'm waiting on that before I cast my votes.

I would be.


IH you want to join in on the plowshares agenda? You didn't seem to care either way and if I recall you were interested in having one of your planets be assigned the other agenda?


I love how you're canvassing for votes twelve. So ambitious. So engaging. So eager beaver. So um, what's the word?? Futile doesn't fit...ironic. That's it. Ironic.

You see, you won't be voting on Plowshares. It seems your representative to the Plowshares agenda conference came down with a slight illness on the way. A fatal one.

I'm confused, is this actually something that is happening due to an action card or something?

I'm not interested in voting for ploughshares for nothing, it massively benefits you but doesn't do much for me, I might not vote and stick a rider on it which would help you pass it for something, but I don't think it benefits me to vote for it.

You'll lose infantry on 3 planets or gain 1 infantry on all planets, plus the one that doesn't have one, Shalloq. It benefits you more than hinders you to vote against.

I'm assuming Gnaw has an action card that may prevent someone from voting during the Agenda phase. That is how that post translates to me.

How are you enjoying the coolest race by the by? I doubt Creuss tops the lists of most overpowered races or anything, but I find I enjoy playing them more than any other race. At least in third edition.

I agree with you that disarmament strips defenses from planets, making planetary invasions easier. On the other hand, it also strips players of invading forces and forces them to produce them first.

I'm really enjoying them, they have so many options. I think all the fun stuff will come in later rounds when WG is available and people start moving in on each other.

We work hard to build good relations with all neighbouring races, regardless of their lack of hygene or manners. Not a single one of you eats their mates nor cleans their carapace with their mandibles like a proper citizen would.

Nevertheless, we are patient and continue to promote good relations and a nature of compromise, in which we can slowly gather the 8 materials required to engineer a miniature statue of the universe's smallest micropenis (we will call it Crotch of the Creuss) as a testament of our greatness and sense of humor.

It is true that we changed our disposition towards the Jol-Nar on a single issue, but that is mostly because they, for the first time, have shown minor signs of disagreement with the Hacan.

True, but if this game is anything like 3rd edition, there's a lot of potential objectives that are tech related. We two are poorly placed to claim those, and so find ourselves at a disadvantage compared to the more peace and defence focused races.

Four warlike factions right next to each other was a boon for many of the others I think. At least Nico's up north threatening some chaos.

(Excuse the badly written eulogy)
The planet Creuss was dying. Food, water and life, all at a critical level. Governments in the various cities cried for help, they needed a solution. Up stepped Zed. Zed was the most gifted mind of his age, he already knew that the planet would die, that people would be no more. Some people called him crazy Zed with the things he came out with. He called upon the people of Creuss to unite and die for the good of their race. They laughed at him but he knew without intervention his beloved race would be extinct. He poisoned the last Well of Damayus with a Life Beginning concoction that enabled him to kill everyone yet not kill anyone. For this concoction was what created the Ghosts of Creuss. It enabled them to live on without the need for food and drink. Instead they felt that they would expand out into the Universe, looking for something that they never knew they wanted. To rule the Universe. They visited neighbouring planets discovering new technologies and new friends. They became something more, and in doing so had a lot to thank Zed for. They gave him the title Glactic Zed and erected a massive monument in his name outside Creuss.

They're submitted privately, but will be public when the agenda is resolved.
