So everyone has passed yes? What are the agendas?

CORE MINING (LAW) - Elect a Hazardous Planet
Destoy 1 infantry on that planet. Its resource value is increased by 2.

Interesting. Executive Sanctions could go either way.

So Tatts - if you want your Construction Rider to pass, you'll need to find another 13 votes to ensure Drek can't outvote us and hope that others don't pile on with Drek.
I'd rather Sanctions go AGAINST than FOR. As for the second one, obviously I'd prefer to have those extra resources on one of my currently owned planets - Dal Bootha perhaps?
What are everyone's thoughts?

I think your rider's most likely to pass on the Sanctions agenda - if you play on AGAINST and Gnaw plays on FOR, then I'm sure that will encourage the rest of the thread towards AGAINST for example.

I'm definitely against limiting action cards as I've invested heavily in them. Having to discard half of them would suck!
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

So Twelve and I throwing all our votes on AGAINST would give us 17 votes - we'd need at least 4 more to ensure Drek can't outvote us to further fuck Tatts and continue solidifying her current empire. Anyone else interested in going AGAINST on Sanctions?

I'd post Tapper's status for him, but it's 50/50 on whether he'd want to score the Lead from the Front objective as he has exactly 3 tokens, so we may have to wait. Sorry, should have asked him!

So I think that ensuring at least 20 votes are on the hazardous planet agenda for one planet would be a good idea. The idea of bereg in d'reks hands with 5 resources is frankly scary given her current position.
Noms lone Hazardous planet is an obvious target, or I propose turning my planet mehar xull from a 1/3 to a 3/3 would mean my max resource value wouldn't increase (though I do gain flexibility). Obviously I'd rather have it on starpoint turning it into a 1/5.
I could be persuaded to offer my votes for either agenda for a price. I'm more in the for camp on action cards, and my default vote for core mining would be on noms hazardous planet (assuming he's happy to lose the infantry).

Also re against I imagine d'rek would also be against as she has a good hand of action cards, and gains 2 a turn so I can't imagine she will be voting for it.
Also I will not be voting in the direction of neckro predictions without compensation from gnaw, if he wants either cruiser 2 or hypermetabolism.

Tatts, might I suggest we team up on a pick? Between us we can manage enough bribes I suspect.
Alternatively, what’ll someone give me to poison pill a selection?

I'd figure you would be all for D'rek getting Berg boosted. Then you could just take it from her.

Well, to be honest, I didn't say you WOULD vote AGAINST, just saying that if you did, our votes combined would be 17.
