I think I've demonstrated my trustworthyness. I'm not particularly fussed about what race you pick, do what's fun! If you've got some wormholes I could certainly help provide mobility.

Which leaves E as the only natural homeworld for both Tatts and Twelve, unfortunately...

I'm just thinking about what I want to do. Before I worked out which hex was best through hex selection ie Hex E, I was planning on trying to get near a more peaceful neighbour and playing Hacan or Yssaril but the L1 guys are combat orientated and I don't want to look like an easy meal for D'rek.

[Gnaw]

You pretty much have to take E. Anyone who takes F besides Tapper, gets Tapper’s worst hexes in front of them. And C basically sucks for all of you.

[twelve]

Pick f and I'll pick E. I'm going to be winnu and they are all about rex so I'm likely going to be playing defense all game.

I mean, I'm still going to be focused on objectives, not just fighting for its own sake. I'm sure we can reach a mutually beneficial/agreeable arrangement. I'm not averse to heading more towards Khell

Geez, what the heck do you have against me?? And won't there be someone between you and me? Oh, it's going to be Tapper or Twelve. Great

Ooh, cool, Winnu seem to be very underplayed so I'm curious to see them in action! Never seen a game of them in 4th edition so far.

[Tattersail_]

I'm going for Hacan on Hex E please.

Thank the randomizer. They were my second choice behind Saar and Khell picked them right away.

Someone keeps Mecatol away from Twelve and he's screwed. Twelve takes Mecatol and he wins - is the way I understand the Winnu in 4th edition from forum threads.

[twelve]

Well crap. I pick Winnu. And I guess I pick the less crappier of my two choices F.

I don't think it's quite that binary, but yeah. He gets progressively better at taking and holding Mecatol Rex as the game goes on (especially the racial tech that lets him flip resource/influence amounts during his turn - then he can exhaust Mecatol Rex for 6 resources!)

On the flip side, he also has to keep defending his homeworld, too. It's a juggling act.

[twelve]

Yeah hence the play defense comment.

[twelve]

I pick antimass deflectors as my starting tech.

Actually, you can wait until the map is fully setup before picking, if you want (but it happens before the starting objectives are revealed).

Yeah, probably a good idea to wait but its 50 50 between this or sarween tools.

[Khellendros]

We'll probably have to wait until tomorrow for Tapper unless he's left his choice with Blend.
