Help
Yeah the larger map and new system tiles are going to make things interesting. A lot of those tiles don't have clearly defined slices/borders which will make for an interesting game. No idea which of those start points I'd want.
Wonder which races will be left to chose from!

I had 4. I figured if I set it up with all the good tiles near the homeworld it would be too good. And since I would have little chance to get it myself no sense making it too good for the competition.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Saw Blend online earlier today. Safe to say not all ban votes are in yet?
Also, is the race/position picking going to be ABCDEFGHIABCDEFGHI or ABCDEFGHIIHGFEDCBA ?
Also also, how does speaker token work?

Yeah still waiting on ban votes.
We will be doing a snake draft, so the second one.
When you are up you can choose either your race, your starting position or the speaker token.

Well my ban is easy I guess, for the love of God no Jol-Naar.
They are so stupidly powerful.

Wait am I supposed to be voting for something? If it’s just me you’re waiting for then just go ahead.

Alright....
With a whopping 7 votes against them, the Sol race is the first to be removed from the game.
Then, with 6 votes each, Jol-Nar and Mentak are also removed.
Next, with 3 votes each, we have Hacan, Muaat and Saar.
Finally, with only 2 votes, the Yssaril.
We will now begin the selection phase, which will proceed as follows:
The randomized selection order is Toaster > IH > Tattersail > Khellendros > ItWasNom > Jazzarm > Twelve > Drek > Morgoth.
We will be doing a snake draft. This means that Toaster will first choose his race, his starting position OR if the Speaker chip. We will then move on to IH, then Tattersail and so on until we reach Morgoth. Morgoth will choose first one of the three above choices, then a second one and we will make our way back through the list backwards until we reach Toaster.
Once everyone has done two selections, whatever is left at the end will be assigned appropriately (if the speaker token has been taken by someone, the person who chose it will be allowed to choose either their race or their starting position, whichever one they have not yet chosen; if no one has taken the speaker token by the time everyone has chosen two things each, then the speaker token will be assigned randomly).
The following races are available for race selection:
Arborec
Creuss
L1Z1X
Letnev
Naalu
Nekro
Sardakk
Winnu
Xxcha
Yin
The starting locations are numbers from 1 to 9 on the map in the OP of this thread. This post will be added to the OP of this thread. Please post your race/starting positon or speaker token selection in this thread.

The instructions do not state where to respond or write my choice. So I hope I am doing this correct
I never like being first in a snake draft. But that is beside the point.
For my choice I will pick a starting position: 2 !

Yup, just post your choice here is fine
#2 is not a surprising pick. Clearly the best spot res/planets-wise!

I don't mind having Nekro in the game. It makes for an easy tabletop target that isn't me
Also none of the starting positions on the map seem all that good for a Nekro game.

Plus they're not quite as scary if the Jol-Nar aren't in the game!
