Gutsy Khell. Or dumb. Or both?

Tried it last game. Turned out to be dumb.

I thought these planet names sounded familiar

Haha

May I ask what exactly does that mean for our relations though?

Can those shiny docks of yours be destroyed too?

If everything else is destroyed and they can't retreat, then they automatically get destroyed. But I haven't sent the dock through, just a carrier. As you said you were moving on to Tura Nora I figured I'd try to move this way. What will happen most likely is that it won't even make it. But if it does, then it's just a Carrier and someone will come along to destroy it I imagine. I can't see it being anything other than a one-way trip.

Aah well that someone might be me as your carrier will be a little inconveniently placed

Pretty sure I didn't say I'm moving on to Tura Nora, just that I'm considering it, but I'm considering a number of moves and I really have no idea which of them I want to do next round yet

I am having dinner at a friend's so the catch up posts will be happening later tonight!

Is Twelve dangerous to us though? I'd have thought he will be taking mec rex so others can deal with him like Morgoth and Nom

Not so much dangerous to us as just potential to get an unstoppable VP lead/momentum. Twelve will throw everything he has into getting and holding MR - if he does that on, say, round 3 it's a lot worse for us (all of us) than if he does it on round 6.

It would indeed be great if Morgoth/Nom/Gnaw did something about that... but I lack confidence in this. Better to be prepared than disappointed. IH has already been a great help on it, though (I'm assuming that destroy will stay there, that is).

I would love to take Mecatol Rex, but I am far away from being able to reach it.

Anyway @IH what are your intentions with the blank hex? Obviously I welcome you as my neighbour and I've no intention on taking Rex or holding it from anyone at this point but it'd be handy for me to find in unvacated next round. Alternatively
@Khell any intention on moving to TuraNora this round? If I went there I could get out asap the following round, in spirit of keeping our good relations

@Morgoth, you in any rush to become neighbours? Personally I'm not and I still have no idea whether I intend to move to CorneeqResculon for other purposes next round or not and I thought you wouldn't mind a break from me being able to pillage you for one more round. I'm obviously still just as keen on stft exchange.

No rush, as you say, I’m not looking forwards to being pillaged.

[Galactic Council]

Sorry for the delay - am here now, going through game thread and updating the map and such!

[Galactic Council]

Game map has been updated! Nice move Khell!

[D'rek]

Still needs some VP updates from those who exchanged SftTs.

[Galactic Council]

Also, it looks like everyone except Khell has passed.

Given Khell has no Tactical or Strategic tokens left, and has played his primary, he passes next turn, so I'm going to go ahead and start the Status Phase.

Crap, keep forgetting about that, thanks for the reminder, doing it now!

Also, why is the VP tracker SO HUGE

I wanted it to be very visible when the map is "fit to screen"

[Galactic Council]

Alright, I think we're good now, gonna post Khell's pass then start the Status Phase.

[Galactic Council]

I have PM'd everyone their action cards for this status phase so you don't have to wait until I get home from work tomorrow, but as I was doing it it was rightfully pointed out that the action cards someone gets could affect which Secret and/or Public Objectives someone decides to score during that Status Phase. Given I had already started, I finished for this round, but in the future, I will only be handing out Action Cards once everyone has posted their status phase update.

I will reveal the next public objective once everyone has posted their status phase.

Amazing. I love having you in these games, Khell. You never know what to expect!

Yeah but you'll grow, and we're going to 14VP. Then again, after all that growing I might be more afraid of you than Twelve...

IH are parking those destroyers next to Rex long term or will you be moving them at some point?

They are there until I find a need to move them, or someone offers me something to move them. I believe d'rek and tatts wanted me to keep it there to prevent you taking rex.

I'm happy to move them if I'm offered something, or leave them there for the duration. Nom if you turn off pillaging for say 3 turns I can move it.

Yeah, I figure either leave it there or make Twelve pay to move it. Either way it hopefully slows him down enough that we have a few other players around Mecatol so he can't fortify it uncontested.

What is happening with Agendas?

Edit; I'm assuming I can use Xxcha pn if I choose to do so when an agenda is revealed.

What about riders?

Nope. Space docks are treated as structures, not ships.
