Alright, Twelve, Drek and Khell - please declare which direction you'd like to go with your riders on the game thread then we will move to the Agenda phase!

Which agenda is D'rek playing her rider on?

Haven't decided yet. Waiting to see how the other ones go.

I thought you had to declare which agenda you'd played it on in the status phase?

When did Blend ever say that?

Alright, I'm here. I will continue to be mostly absent until Tuesday sometime in all likelihood.

@Twelve: yes to the Trade PN exchange. I also do still want your racial PN, and I will promise not to use it unless you agree on it being used. I don't want to pay anything for it, but I do want to give you any potential option to stay alive.

Also, I intend to vote for twelve for the AC agenda - you can consider that my payment for the racial PN actually. Again, that's about maybe giving him a bit of extra help should he survive another round.

Sounds good. I'll give you both during the agenda phase.

[twelve]

Is it a 2 or 3 way tie for first?

[twelve]

Have the points been updated in the OP?

[twelve]

Which agenda is D'rek playing her rider on?

[twelve]

I need to know Noms, influence totals. He still hasn't properly updated. I'm at my folks with family and don't have access to a computer where I can zoom into the map to calculate his influence manually. I need to know that he, if he is at 6 points that is, and IH and all my called in votes can total greater than what Gnaw and Possibly Tatts if he reniggs on his deal before I call which way my rider falls.

D'rek, Tapper, and Tatts, I'll be calling in your votes for this rider if For. I'll also be calling those IH and Noms if against. wanted Morgoths votea but he played a rider which really would have made this a no brainer.

[Imperial Historian]

Just checked pretty sure Nom is on 14 votes. I'm on 11. We are both on 6vp, as is morgoth.

Gnaw and tatts combined is 15.

I think you could probably guarantee both votes if you call your markers in this round, especially with khells support on the ac agenda.

[Imperial Historian]

Also twelve if someone was going to sabotage your rider they would have done it already, you should really update your status phase post.

Blend has my provisionals for that. I won't be able to do it until tomorrow might.

[Morgoth]

Hey Blend. I think you forgot to regrow my gfs on nestaphar.

[twelve]

I predict For, for my rider. IH and Nom, I'm not calling in your votes as this is something you clearly want to pass and expect you two to dump everything you can into this. Morgoth can't vote for this agenda so not calling his in either. Tapper, D'rek and Tatts please vote your owed votes for on the Seed agenda please.

[Itwæs Nom]

Last 4 days have been some of the craziest shit in my life


Will read up eventually, if anyone got urgent businesses with me please quote it or something

[Itwæs Nom]

On I think the second morning, an unknown number phonecall comes shortly after I wake up so I pick it up like "yeah whats up" thinking it's someone from our group, and then some guy says he's from *largest mining company in the west Bohemia* and they're looking for programmers and my school recommended me, and asks me if I'd be interested in the position. Told him I'm going to an university on the other side of the republic so that's probably a no. Definitely didn't expect this when picking up the phone. Especially since I only know the basics of Python... but I'm intending to hit him up at some point and ask about part-time work from home.

Either our washing machine is playing dnb to me or I'm still high off the molly.

Really?

Well, siiigh, well I suppose Morgoth won't be as strong without a free tech... but it leaves us with the problem of 3 even farther ahead players who refuse to attack each other. I fear we're just setting up for an annoyingly pacifist end-game where one of those 3 gets to 14 VP first, they do nothing to try and stop each other, and the rest of us are stuck just sitting and watching...

Tapper, what do you think?

[D'rek]

(Unfortunately, I'm going to be away from the computer today. I'll try to check in on my phone if I can, but not expecting to do so until late, late tonight.)

Well, I was out of the running round 2 so getting this game over quicker and sticking it to Gnaw and Tatts are my only Motivation left.

I'm looking back at this game and if not for Gnaws treachery I would have been in the running this game. I have 2 very doable secret objectives and with Rex trading hands left and right I could have probably been able to stake my claim to it and made things interesting.

Since you still seem to not understand why I attacked you, take a look at this:

Spoiler

I would be setting at 0 points. Maybe, maybe I would have scored my SO of 8 destroyers/cruisers.


I was stuck between the Creuss in the hands of an experienced player and the most aggressive player in the game.


The only shot I have is to remove one of them. I severely underestimated the difficulty of the movement restriction of the nebula. Other than that I have no remorse or regret for what I've done. And Twelve, can you honestly say, given that map, that you would have let me keep Daemon's 4 resources?

[Morgoth]

Twelve the most agressive player? I am shocked and offended.

Yes I can say that I would have left you Daemon as we exchanged best hexes during the map generation phase. That to me was the point of the deal. You get Daemon and I get the Meer system. With my racial tech with meer sans Rex or if I had Rex I would have been set for production and not needed daemon. And as you noticed I still haven't attacked either you or Tatts as you have wasted actions preventing me from expanding instead of going for either the lead from the front or intimidate council which you could have easily accomplished by now if you hadn't gone after me. And you reached a deal with IH for that 3 production planet so didn't need Everra.

Heck I didn't even build my flagship last round so I could get the lead from the front objective but you are still trying to take me out so I have to abandon that now. I'm on the verge of elimination looking for points and you are still wasting actions to take me out. I'm dumbfounded you are still sticking to this strategy when it has been clearly shown to not be effective and worse an actual detriment to your game. So why don't you spend next round going for a public objective leave everra and go for industrial planets or intimidate council or any number of other productive activities and leave me alone.

[twelve]

And looking at the map you posted this is a similar if not better situation than IH was in last game that he won from so that is still not a valid reason for your actions.
