So guys, what's the plan for knocking D'rek off MR? I'm happy to provide moral support.

As the baroney you should have the best ships to deal with the infantry swarm so I think you need to lead the charge.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Well doesn't everyone have sweet action cards. I wish I knew, once in one of these game, what that was like.

You know I would really love to be there, head of the queue, out in front, throwing wave after wave of my own men until the Nekro reach their kill limit...but I'm somewhat short of actions, so...moral support?

IH, How about a free refresh in return for trading all your commodities?

I'm constantly surprised by these politics cartels still existing, in my opinion they generally benefit those not in the cartel more than those in it!


Me too. I agree that it sucks for Toaster in this case, but I don't think it's a mechanical issue so much as Tatts and Nom playing weird.

I also disagree with Warfare or Diplo being bad. Diplo is the strongest defensive ability, warfare the strongest offensive one. Not wanting to use them and feeling like they are a "bad" is just the result of playing over-defensively, setting yourself up for not having an opportunity to use them if you do get "stuck" with them. If you put yourself in a position where you don't need/want any more technology but then get "stuck" with the Tech SC, that doesn't make it a bad card.

I've had 3 of the 5 worst ACs this game.

Moral support is very important. Nekro approves this decision.

Anybody who I don't owe a free trade refresh can purchase a "free" trade refresh for the low low price of 1TG, or if you don't have TG's I'll buy your trade PN at a 1 TG discount. If you don't wish to give me TG, I'll take 3 votes on the next agenda phase in the direction of my choice.


I'll give you all my votes ^_^

Also, I'll point out that with the planets-getting-exhausted agenda thingy I can't fulfill any POs currently. When I play IMPERIAL I'll get 1 VP from owning MR and that's it, going from 6 to 7VP... still behind Khell and tied with 3 other players.

If people give me the TG to build my flagship this turn, I could blow it up on rex next turn. Can't do it this turn though.

Opens up rex, costs me equivalent of 12 resources and locks me out of the ensuing scramble for rex so not something I'm likely to do otherwise.

Nope. I've got plenty of other potential trading partners and you have to many points for me to just hand it out for free.

This seems like a reasonable offer but if you have the destroy greatest ship objective then we would just be funding your VP. That seems like a great deal for you in that case.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I don't have that SO, and that SO requires you to win the battle. As does the one which requires you to win a battle with your flagship. The yin flagships battles never end in a win.

Hm, very well. I accept paying 1 TG for the refresh.

I'm going to play trade.

As far as I recall I owe khell and nom free refreshes.

Tatts is getting a free refresh for 3 of his votes on an agenda of my choice in the next phase.

Morgoth is getting one for 1 tg

Twelve might agree to something?

D'rek hasn't offered anything so I assume doesn't want one

Tapper hasn't said anything

Neither has toaster

Can everyone confirm before I post?
