Well, need to come up with a consensus pick or D'rek will end up with it.

And Tatts doesn't appear to be beside a peaceful race...

An even better reason to help tatts. The Jol Nar needs to be pressured otherwise they can easily run away with the game.

And that is a really, really good point.

Edit: and if you’d have just taken Rex, this would be less of an issue.

Morgoth if blend doesn't pay me my votes are defaulting to tatts.

My preference is for tatts to have it so he can extricate himself from the ridiculous position he has found himself in, but if blend is going to pay I'm willing to be paid. My main priority is that jol nar don't become ridiculous!

[Blend]

I figured I would give it a shot. If I cant get the votes for me, then Ill put my votes on Tatts too in order to help him keep Drek in line.

[twelve]

IH, I'm going to pay you both owed TG. Wanted to build 2 dreads but with the pds and action card debacle I needed to replace my carrier so I have 2 to give.

[Tattersail_]

Then once status phase is over we need to discuss what's best to push both agendas through, without D'rek manipulating events to her advantage

[Tattersail_]

If everyone splits their votes it'd be 29 votes and 30 votes counting from Blends post up above.

We just have to make sure exactly where the votes are going.

I'd like everyone to gain a VP but if people would prefer to remain as they are or for people to lose then even 1 votes against could shorten the gap.

The second Agenda is mainly important to keep out of D'rek hands, otherwise she gets 2 researches at no cost and more to spend on CT's and ships.

[Galactic Council]

I have a provisional status from Gnaw, but he hasn't said where Galactic Threat is going yet, so we'll have to wait.

You know what I just thought of?

Hey Drek - if I give you my Trade Agreement, would you be willing to throw your votes at making me the winner of the Technology agenda? Anything else I can add (short of my racial PN) to make that happen? I think having me as an ally would be good for you, plus it would keep it out of Tatts' hands which will allow you to continue fucking with him without the added annoyance of him getting free tech researches, and will likely help keep the people on my side of the galaxy a little more occupied so that you can concentrate on the ones on your side of the galaxy. Watcha think?

You play that game and she could quite easily stick her votes on herself, it would by far outweigh what your trade agreement is worth.

Well, if you all are that worried about it, then maybe you should throw your votes at me.

I fully agree with this sentiment.

However: is this law right for Tatts to make a difference through? For fighting back against D'rek he mostly needs production, not tech.

Also, can we count on him actually fighting and winning, or is he going to be kept occupied by D'rek instead of the other way around?

I would volunteer for the tech law, because it is great. I am also not too happy granting it to Blend, simply because I think he will become Scylla to D'reks Charybdis.

Does that make me Zeus?

If you ever dressed up as a bull to abduct a princess, then yes.

You know, I could always give Drek War Suns if you all don't want to give me the tech agenda...

*shrugs*

Guess I'll see what Drek / others have to say. Twelve hasn't said much, yet, about this agenda phase. I'm sure people like Tatts and IH might have a problem with squids in war suns. And frankly, you should too. If I give it to Drek, and then to Macaw, it means that there will be three of us with War Suns, which will quickly outstrip the rest of you.

Heads up for anyone who uses the TI4 Battle Calculator - I've been playing around with it (just randomly, not related to anything in this game), and I noticed that it no longer seems to be taking into account bombardment in invasion combat, at least for me.

Seems to be working fine for me - my percentages for Invasion Combat change when I add or remove Dreads or War Suns.

Tappper, you’re up.

That's so odd, it doesn't change at all for me.
