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).


Wow, I didn't even realize it had to be a hazardous planet.

I see no reason why we should give the Mentak, who'll spend most of the game swimming in TGs, easy access to additional resources. I'd be okay with giving it to Nom's Vefut II. Or we could give it to my Mansa III. Or Twelve's Sakulag.

If you want AGAINST to pass, what will you give me to drop my prediction on FOR?

I honestly don't really care enough about the outcome of either of these agendas to give anyone anything to get a specific result. I just figured it'd be nice of us to help Tatts out a bit, and would likely help keep Drek in check as a bonus.

Anyone really object to Noms planet receiving the boost as his systems are so poor?

My proposal although not checked influence levels would be for people to vote for that agenda to make sure it's passed. If I put my rider on that one then people can discuss where they want my votes on the other one.

Morgoth would you vote Noms planet?

Blend?

IH?

Twelve?

Tapper?

Nom will I think

If people are 50/50 then I offer my votes in future agendas. Free trade for all that help the agenda to pass.

I don't know what Nom may offer too.

Thoughts?

I 'd like to vote for on the first agenda. Limiting action cards will prove for an interesting counter to the last game, where action cards flew in all directions.

Yeah I'm sure you would Mr I can dominate all battles if the action cards are taken out of the equation.

I'd like more input on what I've said before placing my rider. Sorry to hold up the game but obviously I want the best chance I can get

I'll likely vote for Nom's planet - but I don't really want to make any commitments until I see where all the riders and Macaw's Galactic Threat fall.

Honestly, if Tapper hadn't placed his Rider on FOR, I probably would have helped you out now that I've thought about this more. The 3 card max is less of a problem for races like me and you as opposed to others. But Tapper has already shown aggression towards me, so I'm not terribly interested in giving him 3 free CTs.

Are any of you concerned about the first agenda?

Nom it's your turn. Tatts nom and gnaw have to play before you. Let them decide what they are doing before you do.

I'm unlikely to vote in the direction of gnaws rider, but for a price I will, right now you can have all my votes in a direction of your choice for your political PN, ceasefire or trade PN. That offer is open to anyone, first come first served.

I'll decide where my votes are going once all riders are played otherwise.

We thank the slippery fingered ones for their ‘offer’. We shall avail ourselves of your offer another round if needed.

I play one AC and I show aggression?

I'd say the only truly aggressive player has been D'rek, the second position or thereabouts belongs to you as you have fought battles and taken planets.

As for my AC: you said yourself you want to push Nom into me. I'd say that is an aggressive intent and you must be able to see I am less than keen on that.
