I understand the desire to stretch this game out as long as we can, but that doesn't mean that we need to each take 3-4 days to post our turns. I've literally had my round more or less figured out before we started it. I've changed a couple things in my plans, but never has it taken me more than 12ish hours to get my turn posted. I don't understand why it's taking people 3-4 days to do so. There's been a ton of discussion and like no frikking movement. LET'S FINISH THIS GAME.

I'm usually right there with you Blend. Last week I just didn't have time to post before I was out of service range for a week.


Yeah, this wasn't really directed at you - I know you were away last week, and you did tell us ahead of time.

Morgoth has some extenuating circumstances that are taking up a lot of his time. But I do wish he would've left me a provisional to execute during his absence.

Alright, well it's been a few days now and Morgoth has typically never been able to login during the weekend either, so I'm going to take Morgoth's turn for him and stall. Hopefully we'll see him again next week.

I'd rather wait longer than have you post this action as it essentially determines the winner. Hell I'd even rather him attack me than do a stall action as he actively determines who he wants to win. That's just my two cents.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I don't see much of anything that he can do this turn that he couldn't also do next turn instead and it would make much difference.

But if everyone else thinks Morgoth would and should do an attack on Twelve I can change it to that.

But waiting a whole week, possibly more, before Morghy gets internet back/other things dealt with and can advise us himself seems like too long a wait to me.

I think the only thing he could do this turn and not next is to attack Rex which would deprive twelve of influence.

I'm happy to wait, if people want to continue I'll make a move tomorrow

Morgoth should attack IH in Loki/A/A and take Loki. It’s what he would have wanted ;)

In all seriousness, Morgoth’s desire seemed to be to attack Rex, or at least that’s the thing he was contemplating when he was last on. But obviously, that might not be what he still wants.

At this point, I’m happy to wait till Monday because I didn’t expect much anything to happen over the weekend anyway.

He brought up attacking MR last time he was online, but given the reasons he stated at the time I don't think it makes much difference to his intentions whether he would do that this turn or on his next turn (if he still decides to do so at all).

It's Easter this weekend for nordic countries so probably more like Tuesday. And if he wasn't able to get internet setup over the long weekend because no installers on weekends/holidays, etc etc, could be more like end of next week or the week after, is what I'm saying. If you guys are ok to wait that long, that's fine, just wanted to be clear about it.

I know I was the one complaining about how this end game is dragging on and on but if there's shit going on with Morgoth IRL then I think we should at least give him until next week to post his turn himself rather than a stall. His taking MR off Twelve could make a difference on Twelve's use of Leadership, so if he wants to do it this round or next should be up to him.

I'm gearing up to play a PoK game on TTS. I'm excited, this'll be my 3rd TTS game and my first with PoK stuff. Gonna be interesting to see how things run in a real game. Lots less time to examine things closely and make decisions.

I am playing as Yssaril against Vuil'Raith Cabal, Muatt, Xxcha, Sol and Sardakk N'orr.

That’s a very aggressive table!

Alrighty, I've deleted the stall action and we shall wait.

Good luck in your TTS game Blend! Use the Vuil'raith agent to capture something cool!

Muaat is my neighbour. He's trying to muscle in to my territory. I have managed to prevent him from taking a planet with good influence, trying to keep him as starved for CTs as I can, but he is the speaker and he just unlocked his hero so I expect I'm about to lose a lot of ships and shit to his Supernova. Gonna be a rough round for me coming up I think.

Well if he is trying to bully it will bite him in the rear before long.
