Because he'll have initiative. Could you have got and remained at 6 tokens to score that PO if Leadership was stalled, I don't think so.

So you'll have to a) take imperial and b prevent him from winning and c hope someone stops me from winning ie Khell.

No at that point I accept that I have lost (one of you is going to get to 10 points this round) and maximise my score relative to the rest of you.

I have no desire to kingmake.

What another lovely action card IH. Want to know what I got? An action card that forces someone to give me a promissory note in the next status phase. That would be the next and final status phase.

Grumble grumble grumble.

[Khellendros]

Although at least now I know that had I won my Politics Rider you would have just used that card on me. Essentially, whatever move I made or outcome occurred, you’d have an action card for that

[Imperial Historian]

As I said my action card luck this game has been incredible

[Tattersail_]

Well here is to someone leaving Imperial for me

The next best thing, as I was hoping for a Twelve Leadership, IH Imperial, me Politics sort of scenario. With IH grabbing Leadership I think he wins.

so, I might hold a sabotage. But I haven't completely grasped why it would be so vital at this point to play it?

With Leadership, IH likely wins in status phase if someone can't win in action phase via Imperial.

I don't know that it would really help YOUR game necessarily.

Yeah Blend has it right. IH wants Leadership to win, you'll be making it more uncertain.

[Tattersail_]

See what Twelve will give you in exchange as well?

[Morgoth]

Ah, so IH increases his chance of grabbing the victory in the next status phase. Well, I have no reason to fight that as I will not have the option to grab leadership anyways, and will probably not reach 10 points either because of twelve.

Well I wont be able to stall Leadership long so the table has to actively take Influence off IH their first 2 actions to prevent him from winning in the action phase using Leadership.

[twelve]

Secondary with Imperial.

Twelve - it took everything in me not to use one of my mechs to cancel your sabo, just to be an asshole. But if there's a chance to prevent a win from IH, one of the proper steps would be to ensure he doesn't get Leadership.

[twelve]

Well I thank you for your restraint. I'd also be much appreciated if you allow me to move through the alpha wormhole on my first turn. Will you allow it?

Gonna have to wait to see where everything stands post-status phase before I give you an answer to that.

I'll take that. Have to admit I forgot you had the ability to cancel action cards. Didnt think I needed to worry about it with no Xxcha in the game.

Well I wish you had used that for IH sabotaging my rider very sad face
