Blend you do realise someone has an action card that will just cancel any law? And once that law is in place it is by far the most likely target?

I'll back you for trade goods if you can legitimately beat d'rek. Otherwise if you want to hand d'rek the game I can't stop you.

*shrugs* I can't play my whole game worrying that someone has a certain action card that will nullify what I want and will decide to use it right away to hurt me.

Talk to others - with yours and my votes we only need 4 other votes to outvote Drek.

The Trade Agreement is yours if we can find those 4 other votes. Otherwise I'm going to have to strongly consider giving Drek War Suns if I can find a way to ensure yall don't outvote us because I really want that tech agenda, and frankly I don't think Tatts needs it except as a deterrent against Drek, and as has already been pointed out, it won't even be that useful to him for that purpose.

I also think it's rich that you're trying to scare me into not giving it to Drek - "if you want to hand d'rek the game I can't stop you" - pretty rich from the guy who's currently 3 VP ahead of her, and 2 ahead of me.

Yeah I don't deny I'm doing well. D'rek however is in a much better position to score all of the 2vp objectives than me, so will most likely she will overtake me in fairly short order even without warsuns.

So, then, help me, help you! :)

You have my votes for your trade agreement, you find the rest of your votes how you can, I doubt threats will work. And you'll need more than 4 as I can't see nom not voting to stop you getting it.

Well, unfortunately, threats are all I have.

I've made it clear that I'll consider any other offers on the board - I want to be the one named from that Tech agenda. If I have something that will get me your votes, let me know, I'll be happy to consider it!

But the fact of the matter remains that if you all are so bent on not giving it to me, then I see no reason why I should help you all keep Drek in check.

Who is, incidentally, the player I'd nominate for the tech law. Taking MR away from D'rek is the top priority. Twelve has made MR his priority from the get go.

Well. I’d take it. Concerned about you taking Gwynan away from me immediately thereafter.

Me? With what fleet?
Anyway, it seems Tatts offers the most consensus, so Tatts it is, I guess.

Now I don't want anyone to think less of the mod for this - but I worked out why bombardment wasn't working for me in the battle calculator - I was putting the dreads in the defender column rather than attacker :)

So votes as they stand:
Nom = 4 votes unknown
Tatts = 7 votes unknown but presumably himself
Twelve = 9 votes unknown
Blend = 11 votes himself
Drek = 23 votes herself or blend
Tapper = 9 votes tatts
IH = 9 votes paid for by blend, tatts otherwise
Morgoth = 10 votes tatts

So that's 26 or 35 for tatts
20 or 34 for blend

With twelve and noms votes unknown, and of course that is assuming no one is throwing votes on the VP agenda which seems.... Unlikely.

Either way looks like twelves input is important as blend needs his support if he's to carry the vote.

So 23, 11 and 9 for Blend. 33 votes.

If everyone saves 1 vote FOR VP and the rest on me for tech that'd clinch both agendas.

The thing is Blend, has D'rek actually made a deal with you? I don't see it, and could nab that agenda

Hmm, and I suppose since I'm going to get collaboratively outvoted on both agendas there's no point in me voting for myself, and I might as well just dump all my votes onto you, Blend :)


I mean, I *did* make you an offer further upthread for your votes.

I'm trying to decide what would be best for me. I'm not terribly interested in giving you War Suns given the very strong position you are already in, but if I have to in order to prove to the rest of this thread that I will carry out my threats, then I might just do that.


I think the problem you have is that if we make any formal deal, the rest will know exactly where my votes are going and will just put 35 votes on Tatts to counteract us. It's going to have to be a wait and see in order to keep everyone unsure.



Is this the last post, if people split votes on you then D'rek hasn't agreed to anything.

Lastly she may just put 23 votes on against and people voting FOR lose a VP. She needs to catch up somehow
