Hope your day turns around Gnaw.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

New public objective has been revealed. I've added it to the OP of the Game Thread, as well as the most recent Custodians post.

Gnaw, how did you end up with so many command tokens? I'm jealous.

One might say you're pretty... Gnaw-some. *cough cough* I'm gonna go stand over there now.

Nom, I'll give you one guess as to which two cards will be left for us 

I might still guess wrong anyway even if I read up on the cards again
Strategy card pick order is determined by our virtual table seats, assuming we have even have those, from speaker proceeding clockwise?

Yep, our table seats being the initial order before the game started. Meaning you're last pick this time and I'm second-last.

The list we used for the first order of strategy selection is the "seat order."
So we always start with whoever has the Speaker chip, then make our way down that list to the end, then start from the beginning.
Many have suggested we do the "table order" meaning the locations of everyone's start positions on the map going clockwise, but I figured we'd try it the above way instead.
If we find that it's not good, whoever runs the next game can do it differently.

Makes sense, just that it adds another aspect that I have to keep track of in order to have an idea of what's going on

Strategy choosing order is: D'rek > IH > Morgoth > Gnaw > Tattersail > Twelve > Tapper > Khellendros > ItWasBliss

Hmm, so strategy card pick order is going to be:
D'rek > IH > Morgoth > Gnaw > Tattersail > Twelve > Tapper > Khellendros > ItWasBliss
@IH/Morgoth: My original plan was to take TECHNOLOGY, but now I am a bit worried about Khell and figure I should pick something else that would help me prepare for him/hamper him a bit instead. If I don't pick Tech, would one of you take it and promise to play it first turn?

I was looking at taking leadership or logistics, I could take technology if it came up but I would not be looking at playing it first turn. Are you offering anything for us to take technology and play it early?
Ehh, it's not that big of a deal either way. Not worth paying anything for it.

IH am I going to be having any issues with you in regards to Meer? That is the easiest path for you for that public objective. I thought I'd also have issues with Tatts but he has an easier option and a deal with D'rek already in place.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I've not had a proper study of the map in light of the new objective but it does look like it's my best option.
