Yup, onto the Status Phase!

I'll start working on an updated map, but if that doesn't change anything for you feel free to start posting your Status Phase posts.

@ Nico:

D'rek does not want to show you the action card I want to show you, even though I don't want to trade it, just show it secretly like I would in any regular game. Who's bitter? No, you're bitter!

So here it is:

Quote

CH | Lost Star Chart | Play at the start of a Tactical Action (yours or another player's) | During this action, systems that contain alpha and beta wormholes are adjacent to each other.

Let me know when/if you'd like me to use it.

Jerk.

[Khellendros]

Also, Nico, I know you're just making me more of a target by giving me those TGs, but I love the sheer cheek of it!

I can't be the only one terrified by all the ships being placed. I may have underestimated the necessity for ships this game. Ah well at least my action cards should give me a fighting chance!

I think the scariest thing about this turn though is that morgoth threw everything he had at khell, and he still has all his planets. That ground dominance looks like it's paying off.

Also hi twelve, nice friendly neighbor here, don't worry about me.

Hi. As a friendly gesture I'm willing to pay for you not to vote for zohbat this agenda phase? How much will that cost me?

[twelve]

Tapper or anyone else with votes they are willing to sell im taking offers for votes to be spent on a planet of my choice which will be a planet with 1 or fewer troops with no pds or space dock of a player with the fewest points so as not to change the status quo. Anyone interested?

[Khellendros]

No one should be interested in anything Twelve has to say.

[D'rek]

Updated map is up. Tell me everything I missed/got wrong!

Listening, but... your offer would need to be staggeringly good. "Weak ships" is not an argument anymore.

Also,let's be honest about the replacement costs. If we elect Zohbat and you don't score, one CT restores your PDS or Docks and 3 TG replace your infantry. Construction would do it one go.

That is probably cheaper than buying the votes.

he can get a pds anyway, now at least there'd be only 1 pds there. And the system would be activated for the production. It takes tokens and time and limits him a great deal.

All true, but he has all dreads built, bombardment capacity aplenty and 6 GF available and he just took half of Nico's fleet.

[Morgoth]

Which means limiting him is the best we can do

[Tapper]

Yep.

I am not disputing that. Just curious to see what averting it is worth to him, if he thinks he can.

[twelve]

I've got blends trade agreement pn. Thats 6 trade goods right there.

What are you even saying ... Nobody knows what your saying ?

[twelve]

Tapper, IH are you saying 6 trade goods aren't enough to sway your vote?

[Tattersail_]

Twelve Zohbat is the right choice for everyone else.

Naw, this +1 VP should guarentee your victory over 12, him making the offensive action spreads his line very thin. He now has to contend with 3 people going through his front line and the overwhelming constant harassment that he will face from every direction now.

Granted this all occurs if we take out zombat as a team. This forces him to score zero VP this round, he loses the votes from Rex this round too. A huge mistake if we can keep him at bay.

[twelve]

I have the option of gaining 2 vp this round. I can opt out of gaining any to retain ownership of Zohbat. If i choose not to gain the points or lose the vote, Gnaw is the likely recipient of the planet.

Gnaw you interested in some trade goods for your vote?

You all realize Morgoth has a starbase right next to the center and Gnaw has pds IIs as well sitting within reach of everyone? Not sure why everyone is so focused on me.

Amount of tech, ships on board, influence and defense. We should select Zohbat just to slow you down.
