Twelve, Nico, Tatts, Khell - we should all vote FOR the action card agenda. It'll force Gnaw and Morgoth to discard 4 cards each, and for most of us, just 1, none for Tatts.

If we place all, or most of our votes on that, the others can't flip the vote.

Agreed I'm hoping people see the value in this. To sweeten the deal I will not steal an action card from anyone who votes FOR.

Plus it stops morgoth getting tech.

Well, guess Gnaw won't be voting with us. That's a shame.

I think he means this round because Morgoth's racial rider is on AGAINST.

The action card agenda - i.e. Economic Sanctions.

FOR = everyone discards down to 3 action cards.
AGAINST = everyone randomly discards 1 action card.

Yeah, forgot that the other one wasn't a for/against one.


But speaking of, I would like to campaign for Sakulag to be elected for the other law. Can I get votes for that in exchange for something or other?

I figure Gnaw and Tapper are the only voters who have any interest in an AGAINST vote on Economic Sanctions.

Together, they can muster 30 votes.

If me, Twelve, Khell, Tatts and IH put all our votes on FOR, it would come up to 36.

We need to have at least 31 to ensure that we win that vote, so that means we can shift 5 votes elsewhere, unless an agreement can be reached with Tapper to vote FOR.

For two rounds. This is far better for you than it is bad for anyone else.

If I can get some votes toward Sakulag I could put some toward FOR.

Or if the AGAINSTERS want to support my Sakulag bid, I can support them too.

They can't. Gnaw's rider means he can't vote for that agenda, no? So that's 17 votes fewer.

Oh yeah, totally forgout about that.

So we only really need 14 votes to ensure that we can pass FOR.

IH has 14 votes and has already said he'd likely vote on FOR - IH, if you place all your votes there, not likely that anyone will outvote you.

Thoughts everyone?

Which also means he'll put 17 votes towards one of his own planets for the other one.

Gnaw - anything I can give you to give me those votes? After all, what's two extra resources to you when instead you could have my votes on a future agenda, or a ceasefire PN, or a Military Support PN, or a Political Secret PN?

If IH puts all his votes on FOR the Economic Sanctions agenda, and it seems like others will be voting on the other agenda instead, I'd be willing to help you Khell.

Cool, but it might not matter if Gnaw and Tapper are gonna be combining their votes.
