[Khellendros]

As for the second agenda, my current thinking is that we pick one of Tatts' fulfilled ones so that he doesn't have another opportunity to score, and just pick whichever might be most difficult to score. But I'm open to other ideas.

[twelve]

FYI. I'm at 7 points. If for some reason IH doesnt take my homeworld and/or Khell/Tatts and/or Morgoth leaves me Rex I MIGHT win. This requires you all to be brain dead and the random chance gods to give me a stage 2 objective I can score. We all know how likely that is. So you should leave things as they are and just pummel me like you planned.

Now before anyone thinks about doing any shenanigans on my shenanigans, remember this is the best way to stop Twelve winning. Morgoth, Blend, it means you get to pick cards before Twelve. Also, it keeps the cards furthest away from our points leader, Tatts, and two other contenders for the win in Twelve and IH. IH, you should also vote for this because of it keeping cards away from Twelve. Tatts, you have to vote for this.

So you can possibly grab Imperial for the Win or gain initiative?

It's a tough choice for all.

Ah, but I currently have no easily scored objectives. I can't do the 2VP one even if I grab Construction, I am not going to be able to gain 12 influence for my unfulfilled SO, and the 1VP ones I haven't achieved are also extremely hard for me due to lack of resources/planets.

You'll have no resources or planets when we vote For

You must be happy with what you've got.

FOR: After a player researches a technology, he must destroy 1 of his non-fighter ships.

You're thinking of AGAINST. I picked the option which was less good for twelve - he currently has the fewest techs of anyone so would have suffered least from AGAINST, whereas Morgoth/Blend would have hated it.

Ah even better. I thought I'd be exhausting all my planets

I have not done many researches this game, maybe a little regret as my cruiser 2's are fabulous!

Plus, Twelve broke a deal with me when I didn't actually break any deals with him, so I've no desire to do him any favours.

You cut me off from using aetherpassage else I'd have waaaaay more infantry on Winnu right now. I'm reminding you as you seem to have forgotten. And finding a way out of being strong armed is just smart. I've only tried the strong arm technique once and I didnt like how it made me feel and it may have contributed to Gnaw quitting the forum.

Speaking of which has anyone heard from him? I hope he's doing okay.

YOu would have needed to use Aeather Stream to get your units to Winnu, and that wasn't part of our deal. So technically I didn't break our deal.

Stop your bickering, it'll all work out. IH is about to get to 10 VP miraculously or Morgoth is

Ah. no! Carrier II with gravity drive = 3 movement. You stated all your abilities were cut off. Plus I have a flank speed action card I didnt need to use from the beginning of the game if I wanted to bring more ships. So not allowing aether passage = breaking our deal.

100%. You get speaker Morgoth wins. I keep speaker IH wins. About par for the course.

Eh, I'm still not that arsed about it. At least you're not going to win. Do trust that if it looks like you might I will prevent it.

Also I have 2 commodities to trade...

I'm pretty sure IH has another sabotage and if he does he will clearly use it to kill Khell's rider. We will just have to wait to see if my suspicions are correct.

[Imperial Historian]

I object to this political chicanery!

Are the planet counts in everyone's last posts correct? I think Blend's at least is wrong:

I have the influence totals as:

IH: 13
Khell: 6
Blend: 12 (his last post says he still has bakal so 14)
Twelve: 18
Morgoth: 11
Tatts: 13

So if the votes split twelve and I vs everyone other than Khell that's
31(+6) so 37 vs 36 (38 if Blend's post is right)

Definitely forgot to take Bakal out of my posts after Khell took it. I've gone back and fixed that! Mine should be correct now.

Though you'd have to vote to exhaust quite a few planets, whilst Twelve will get away with fewer exhausted.

Not to mention that if everyone piles their votes on the first agenda and Twelve remains speaker, Twelve can then choose whichever SO suits him best for the second agenda.

Yeah, that's what I've counted too

[Khellendros]

Although I suppose the other thing that IH is thinking is if it's worth making it a draw on the first agenda (then Twelve decides), and putting his 1 + 6 votes on whatever he wants for the second agenda. Would still have to exhaust a load of planets though Just vote FOR, IH, you know it's the right thing to do

[twelve]

IH. You are assuming I'd vote with you.
