Boast. We have taken our natural place as the leaders in the competition for the Throne!

Admission. The next 11 VPs will be somewhat more difficult to obtain.

I see gnaw, twelve and probably tatts are much more focused on VPs this game!

He has a support for the throne

We may as well allow imperial secondaries to be played during the status phase rather than wait around.

And yes trades during the secondary phase makes sense to me.

Yup.

Or does Khell want us to wait for placeholder Twelve and Morgoth PASS posts and a Start of Status Phase mod post?

I can't edit the placeholder posts but yes I do pass and no I'm not getting imperial secret objective.

Hmm, your SO states that you must have ships in 3 systems and I only see your ships in two...

Check the scores. I've already doubled my point output for this game than I did all of last game so this is already a better outcome and we are less than a week in.

I was never not focused on VP last game. I just had to do everything in my power to just stay in the game to score objectives.

Fuck us. We misread that. Thought it meant 3 anomaly systems. Doh.

So Tatts - what Strategy Card do you not want me to take?

[Imperial Historian]

Some very strong starts! Going to be an interesting game!

I don't think I've ever seen a more efficient collection of production planets Gnaw, who needs influence?

[Galactic Council]

I'm off for a bit and will send ACs etc. later. Gnaw, I don't think you've fulfilled your objective - yes, I know Everra's also an anomaly, but you're not adjacent to it, you're in it.

Edit: Ah, I see you've removed it.

I'd also be interested to know what cards Drek, Macaw and Tapper are planning to take. I'm gonna take Mellon/Zohbat from Nom, just need to ensure that I get to act before him, but given there are only 4 other people between he and I in strategy selection, I assume I'm gonna have to take a strategy card I don't particularly want to ensure I move before he does.

[twelve]

D'rek, Do you have IH's racial PN?

Well I get last pick so here is hoping I can get something useful.

That was the single, most important reason I took Nekro. Although Blend’s position would have been acceptable for the Hacan; using TG superiority in place of resources. Was a bit of a tossup.

Hmmm. Construction would be good for getting a dock onto BereLirta without activating it. I'm a bit short on resources so Diplo to restock would be good if I want to try and buy a 2nd tech. Or Trade for the same thing. Leadership is never bad.

Not quite sure, but in any case all low-numbered considerations. Unless I want to be a badass and go for Imperial, but I'm not really feeling it.

Proposal. Our analytics Units have recommended a deeper connection with the Embers of Muaat. Strategic council agrees and wishes to exchange SftT PNs with the Embers. This would be in addition to and contingent upon our previous offer of exchange of racial PNs.

Proposal. Our analytics Units have recommended a connection with the Barony of Letnev. Strategic council agrees and wishes to exchange Ceasefire PNs with the Barony. This would be with the understanding that neither PN would be activated simply to impede passage through the Qucen'n/Rarron system. Also with the gentlebeings' understanding that neither Ceasfire would be traded to third parties without approval/reparations.

[D'rek]

@Tatts - we should probably figure out this Tar'mann situation, yes? Like I said before, if you want it I'm open to the idea of letting you have it if we can find a deal that we're both happy with. I get that you giving up Ensapta to Twelve and therefore might want Tar'mann for getting through to the middle. If not, and you are happy with using the wormhole instead, then that's fine, too, and I'll likely be moving to Tar'mann on my first turn.

Ideally I would like to take Trade again but that means that you four would have to take the Leadership through Construction. If you guys arent going to do that then I will just take Diplomacy (or Leadership if Tatts doesnt want it)

As far as I know he hasn't given up Ensapta to me. I think we haven't fully discussed ownership border issues as of yet.. I just need to have a clear path to Rex. If he blocks it by taking Ensapta before I can get past we will have issues. Otherwise he can claim it without much objection by me as long as he is a good neighbor.
