Agenda Phase 1 - Results

The following two agendas have been voted on during our first Agenda Phase:

Agenda # 1

Quote

PROPHECY OF IXTH (LAW) -- Elect a Player

The owner of this card applies +1 to their fighter's combat rolls. When the owner of this card uses a Production ability they discard this card unless they produce at least 2 fighters.

Agenda # 2

Quote

MINISTER OF INDUSTRY (LAW) -- Elect a Player

When the owner of this card places a space dock in a system, their units in that system use Production abilities.

Drek - 14 (All votes on Drek for Minister of Industry)
Gnaw - 13 (All votes on Khell for Prophecy of Ixth)
Morgoth - 13 (All votes on Khell for Prophecy of Ixth)
Nom - 12 (All votes for Twelve for Prophecy of Ixth)
Tapper - 9 (All votes on Khell for Prophecy of Ixth)
Khell - 8 (All votes on Khell for Prophecy of Ixth)
IH - 7 (All votes on Twelve for the Minister of Industry)
Twelve - 6 (All votes on Twelve for Prophecy of Ixth)
Tatts - 4 (All votes on Khell for Prophecy of Ixth)



Minister of Industry

Drek receives 14 votes
Twelve receives 7 votes

Drek becomes the Minister of Industry.


Prophecy of Ixth

Twelve receives 12 + 6 = 18 votes
Khell receives 13 + 13 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 47 votes

It has been decided that the Prophecy of Ixth is related to Clans of Saar.

Ah, sorry, I keep forgetting to add that gf. If you guys don't think it's too late, place it on Mellon.

As we hadn't yet gotten to the Strategy Phase when you posted this, I will allow it. I doubt the placement of one infantry would have changed anyone's votes. In the future, please do try to remember during your status phase, but if you haven't remembered by the time strategy selection starts, then you're shit outta luck.

"In the memory of Pegghy who died in the Silencing of the colony on Wellon!"
"Actually I hear she's on Silvano now. It's supposed to be quite nice."
"...In the memory of Gregh, who made the Great Journey to Centauri-Gral, a journey many said was impossible, but to which Gregh replied, 'Nothing is impossible while walking in the Light of Ragh!' and took on this mighty challenge for all Saar people."
"Well, that...and the fact it was the carrier flying the furthest away from the Solarians. And honestly, I think he was getting a bit tired of his fellow Saar."
"In the memory of..."
"Also Gregh did get squished into an infinitesimal nothingness the second time round. I guess passing the gravity rift wasn't impossible once, but trying to do it twice was just asking for it."
"Will you shut up! I'm doing a thing here! Where was I? In the memory of all the Saar who perished at the hands of the L1z1x horror on Mecatol Rex, I invoked the Prophecy of Ixth at the meeting of the galactic races..."
"Are you sure that's how you pronounce it?"
"Yes I'm goddamn sure! As I said, I invoked the Prophecy of Ixth, and now they will all know just how much they underestimated the proud Saar race!"
"Well, unless you're the Arborec."
"Yes, we have nothing against plants."
"Or the Solarians."
"Yes, well...they're too far away."
"They took our sacred rocks."
"Will you forget about those dumb rocks already? Nobody cares about those damn asteroids!"
"And the Xxcha. I mean, everyone said we're going to the Xxcha, but now apparently we're not?"
"Look, you weren't there, the negotiations were intense affairs..."
"Why did we have to negotiate about a prophecy?"
"Shut. Up. This is what's happening, and that's it. Final. Alright?"
"Okay, fine. So, wait, what are we doing exactly?"

"How come only the Winnarans are here? I thought the whole council was going to assemble?"
"It appears they are all distracted by a new viral video, my liege. Something about a new prophecy-flavoured trail mixth..."
"Seems reasonable. Well then let's adjourn for the day. I'm going to go see if my favourite space crepe shop is still here."
"But my liege, this council meeting was supposed to elect a new Galactic Minister of Industry!"
"Oh, then how about... hey, you there!"
"M-m-m-me?"
"You're the new Minister of Industry! Do a good job!"
"I-I-I-I'm just h-h-h-here on a s-s-s-school trip, s-s-s-s-sire."
"Herald, see to the paperwork. And while you're at it, do everything else to cement my rule and restore the majesty of our hegemony. You know where I'll be!"
