Khell purposefully does not score an objective. Wow.


Come again?

Yeah I think it's more a matter of we stopped him from being able to score anything


Yeah, there's literally no PO or SO that he can score, currently.

Ah, I saw the 5 in Fleet pool but have not seen the updated map.

I don't mind Blend getting elected, majority are positive.

Imperial Arbiter would be too good for Twelve to grab Imperial.

I am not liking that I'm going to be point leader as its going to paint a target on my back and I'm not sure I can withstand the pressure.

Just leave me alone guys. Okay.

I mean, Tatts and IH are both forces to be reckoned with, so I would consider them top of the pack. Twelve may not have SOs, but he's sitting on Rex as the Winnu, so that puts him up there too. You're likely to have the same amount of VPs as the leaders - electing you would be insane after all the work we did to stop you from scoring this round. That leaves Morgoth and I. Morgoth's got more plastic on the board and is frankly better defended than I am. I've stretched myself thin, so I don't see myself actually winning unless there are some very specific things that happen between now and the end of the next round.



Not that I necessarily want that election, but I do resent being still placed in with those who are clearly at an advantage now. The tiny remnants of my fleet and poor resource and influence values mean there is ONLY one thing I'll be doing next round no matter what - hiding in an asteroid belt. So that will be the extent of my participation.

Not mine I hope, can you please defend your home system so there's no easy pick ups?

All his infantry from Mecatol were moved to one of his home system planets, so I don't see anyone trying for the other one given it would put Khell in a position to score the "have a planet in the same system as someone else's planet" SO.

I'm surprised to see anyone counting out morgoth, to me he's in a great position.

I could offer at least 8 votes to anyone who wants then towards the secret PO for a price

To me it'll depend on what PO comes up, I think. He's likely going to be at 5-6VP, which puts him in line with either Tatts and Khell or the rest of us. He has some plastic on the board, but I don't think he's got enough to be as big a threat as you or Tatts are going to be in the next round or two.

There is a lot more plastic on the map compared to last time I looked! Where did all those ships come from!

And morgoth has a vp from relics, a hero that can help score an otherwise unscorable PO, plus 4 SOs instead of 3, so definitely in position for a stealth victory.

Working hard to move the focus off you I see, IH. Sure, I am in a decent position, but certainly not in one where I can grab a quick win.

I'm waiting for the next PO before voting.

I'll certainly put some votes towards keeping the PDS. It's not awful if I lose one, but since morgotg, khell and blend are completely unaffected by the negative part, may as well keep our PDS.

And I'm waiting for Tatts' status phase turn before capping the phase.

Indeed. Everybody who is not IH or Tatts deffo needs to vote against the second agenda.

I do want to see how IH votes as I might propose something after.
