My votes are cast.

Any bets on how long before Khell breaks his word?

I will not.

But I would like to know if Tapper is in on this deal.

I am. But I hadn't submitted the votes as such until my 'I guess you do per now'.


Ah I see. Well, in case you need it, I give you the same personal agreement I gave to Morgoth. If the Ixth law passes, you three will have successfully also passed the No-Saar-Zone amendment as well. Another demonstration of the prejudice we face daily in our lives :p


Not that I'm jealous of them or anything but how does this benefit you? Does the agreement work still even if they take your systems? It also does not leave you much wiggle room.

Yes. If they kick me out of somewhere, I can't try to reclaim it. Why did I do it? Well, I was happy enough to do it with Morgoth and Tapper, because the Arborec and Sol seem best-suited to me to defending against Saar - their special abilities to produce GFs makes taking their planets particularly difficult for me, so they would never have been my first-choice directions. The fact that Gnaw is the third is much more problematic for me, yes, at least in the short-term, but I'll just have to deal with it and hope Ixth was worth that trouble.

On the other hand, should I not win Ixth, there's no harm no foul and I just go back to plan A.

Sorry for the wait folks - cousin's wedding on Saturday and then basically hanging out with my dad before he had to get back to work yesterday.

Am here now, will resolve as long as I have everyone's votes!

Alright, unfortunately I just need a clarification from Nom about his votes as the clarification could potentially change the results of one of the agendas. Once I've received that I can post the agenda phase results!

Okay, everything should be good to go for Strategy selection. Gnaw is working on a map update (thanks Gnaw for helping out) and I do not have a provisional for Morgoth, so ball's back in your court! Will check in later!

Wow, I was not expecting to get that. That was just my default "if I don't get a deal or other reason to change it" provisional. Well, I'll take it. Dunno if I'll really end up using it much, but it's a nice salve to being last/2nd-last to pick strategy card again.

If anyone has strategy card provisionals, feel free to PM them to Hugin. I’m picking second and taking Leadership (or Diplomacy if Morgoth ‘forgets’ that he promised me my choice) so knowing yours won’t affect my choice.

I'd like Technology but Morgoth is taking that. So next best thing would be logistics or warfare. Haven't decided yet

I’m going to build ships in Everra this round. As you pointed out a while back, they’ll be stuck there for the remainder of the round. Thought you were going to take Politics this time?

Gnaw you are best taking Politics and giving the Speaker token to Morgoth so that you are able to pick early and I'll take Politics next time and nominate you speaker to also get early strategy pick. That beats whatever plans Twelve may have, it gives us both advantage and 2 action cards this round may come in useful.

What's your plan for first turn?

Hmmm, I can take that but was going to suggest something different. He'll get his flagship this turn and make this a lot harder.

Suggest away. First turn I’m taking Arinam. Costs me a destroyer but I’m ok with that.

If your plan is for Gnaw to take LEADERSHIP and hold off on playing it as long as possible to limit Twelve's options, then wouldn't it make more sense for Tatts to take LOGISTICS? Otherwise LOGISTICS is the obvious choice for Twelve to take to counter the delayed LEADERSHIP play.

I’m not really planning that. I need the CTs myself so Leadership will almost certainly be played turn 2. By taking Arinam I limit Twelve to gaining a single CT.

How about Tatts takes Politics and makes you speaker? You, IH, and Morgy would just have to agree to let Tatts and I have the cards we want.

That's fine by me.
