Also, IH, before voting against, consider what tech Morgoth might take from you. Just switch to Sakulag instead to still adhere to the outcome Gnaw wants :)

By the by, if IH is asking for a SftT at this juncture, then he's worked out a way to get to 10VP sharpish and just needed that one extra.


More I realise this is a game about points, I'm well behind and I just realised gnaw still had support for the throne.

Also technically if no one votes for or against speaker gets to decide which way and morgoth gets no tech.

All the more reason to vote for Sakulag.

Can we also remember to post properly please in the game thread? For example, Gnaw, I have no idea what your trade rider entails.

So is the deal support for the throne for my votes not on FOR on Gnaw? What exactly do you want me to do?

All your votes on AGAINST on economic sanctions. I like action cards making the game a little unpredictable.

So if IH puts his votes on AGAINST, that means that there are what, 14 votes AGAINST, and, as of now, my 5 on FOR?

Gnaw and Tapper are voting on the other agenda, right? To ensure that Tapper's planet gets the extra resources?

And Khell and Twelve are voting on Khell's planet?

Am I completely wrong? Where are all the votes right now?

So you're okay with:

1) Allowing Morgoth to get more tech?
2) Helping the three players who have the best chances of winning (Morgoth, Twelve, Tapper) get what they want?
3) Not severely curtailing everyone else's Action Card hands permanently, thus making your racial ability that much stronger?

That's a shame.


Tatts and Khell - if we want to flip the vote on Economic Sanctions, the three of us control a total of 18 votes. Tapper and IH together have 27 votes. I have a Bribery card and 8TGs, so I can add 8 more votes to our 18, which puts us at 26 votes. If you guys between each other can muster 2 TGs to send my way (I cannot be pillaged by Nico currently) then we can flip that vote.

Alternately, Nico hasn't really stated where his votes are going at all, so if we can get Nico (and the two of you) on board for voting FOR the Economic Sanctions vote, so long as either IH or Tapper don't have a Bribery Card, we can still flip this. That would be a hit to everyone else, particularly the three leaders noted above.

Thoughts?

Tatts unfortunately can't vote on this agenda. I would quite like this agenda to pass, but this is a game about VP, so getting support for the throne would be a big help.

Dang...


So, Khell, me and Nico can muster, uh, 14 votes then?

Can't make a difference with just those, plus who knows what Nico's going to do...

Well, IH, it's a shame that you're just going to help someone else win for an extra VP.

Fuck it you are right helping morgoth twelve and tapper right now is a mistake, the game will be over before I have a chance of getting enough VP. Got distracted by the VP.

Would like to keep our ceasefire going to the end of the game Blend.

Anyone with any action cards they are going to discard (who is voting FOR) I am happy to play them for you if you pass them via blend if he agrees.

Sorry Gnaw no deal.

Buahahaha!!! Excellent decision IH! :) Moving my votes back to FOR Economic Sanctions.

Depending on what Gnaw gave me, I may pass you a couple of action cards to hold for me, and I agree to continue our cease-fire.
