Gnaw, I have need to place ships on the alpha wormhole. Let's work something out.

[Galactic Council]

I have also noticed that IH should be at 7VP rather than 8, having lost the L1Z1X Support for the Throne when he attacked Drek in Mallice during the previous round.

Well, Morgoth still has the undisputed lead. The new PO is probably only possible for him if he takes TRADE, so someone should counter-pick that. That'll leave him with only the option to go for a homewworld (who's got his Ceasefire again?) or for Rex. Probably a good idea to counter-pick Warfare, as well.

Looks like Tapper thinks he can pull out a win next round.

Nothing so definite, I am afraid. Just don't want to pick (close to) last in the Strategy selection next round.

My new entirely unreasonable gripe: This game is entirely luck-based. No, I'm not talking about having good action cards - I'm talking about secret objectives. Some people have had like 3 super-easy SOs, and I've had downright impossible ones. This is the only reason why I won't win.

[Khellendros]

...Wow. I can't believe I actually have Leadership to choose. But this was the round I was finally going to pick Imperial, sigh. I'll have to think a little.

You don't have to use SOs. It's perfectly reasonable to ignore them and just... Oh I don't know, camp on Mecatol Rex taking IMPERIAL every round for points instead

edit: this is why you're still at 5VP Khell

Well, 2 out of 3 secret objectives I've drawn have been absurd. The nice thing is that you can just draw new ones.

Yeah, I have been angling my position towards being able to complete the highest amount of potential public objective II. Alas, so far I've not been particularly lucky.

@Khell now you have scored the home planet objective what are your plans regarding my home planet? I left you a path towards the asteroid field. I'd give you my trade pn to move everything out if that sweetens the deal.

Yes, I think I can move out. Leadership gives me more options for this round, and your Trade PN would cement that.

Excellent, i'll trade you it on my first turn.

OR, you could open a past westwards, or to the beta wormhole, and Khell could go rejoin/flank near his Arniam/Meer forces, plus he'd actually have a reasonable chance of taking a homeworld over there and actually scoring some points for once. (Oh wait, I forgot, Khell doesnt care about points does he)

He doesn't need to take a homeworld anymore, I'd have thought Imperial would have been the right option for him to score points.

He literally does not care about scoring points. He's never taken Imperial and will continue not doing so. He's hardly trying to achieve any objectives and will continue hardly doing so.

What is your problem? Why would I have taken Tatts' homeworld if I didn't care about scoring points? Why would I take Leadership over Imperial if I didn't think it could get me MORE points this round? Just because I played my actions badly in the first rounds doesn't mean I'm not trying to score points.

Oh wait, I see. You're doing that thing again where you get mad because you think someone is going to start looking in your direction. Quite honestly, you haven't once got right what I plan to do in any round, so it might be time you stop trying to guess.

Oh no, by all means, come this way. I've got plenty of lasers for you. Hmmm, though it'd be fun (if inefficient) to block you in, too...

[Khellendros]

Actually, looking back on it, I played the first couple of rounds quite well, then had a bad middle section. But just goes to show, I was trying to gain points from the start. I didn't think I would win, but that's not the same as not trying to play the objectives, which I certainly have been attempting every round.

But it's boring. Can't you see I have needs to?! Entertain me!!!
