No answer, I was wondering why you went race so early.

Because I haven’t looked at the map closely enough to know where I want to go and I didn’t want to hold things up.

Which races have not been tried yet? I am liking the look of the Nomad, it seems to be all about the flagship that race

Cabal, Nomad, and Mahact are the new expansion races that no one has played yet. (As last pick, if no one else picks Nomad or Mahact I will take them)
Yin and Sardakk have also hardly ever been played in our forum games - I think Sardakk was only ever picked in the very first game and Yin only ever picked in one of the games that didn't finish?
Letnev, Nekro, and Xxcha feel like they haven't been picked much here either.

Both Tapper and myself have played Sardakk, him a lot better than me.

Now how do I convince all of you to picks spots that put Khell and his Cabal far, far away from me?

Ahh right, right.
Your spot looks really good for Xxcha, IMO, Tatts. You get Arinam/Meer for tons of CTs, an easy green tech skip for Hyper Metabolism and other green techs, and I spots 3/4/5 are all supposed to fight over Hope's End since it's two tiles away from all of them, but as Xxcha you can just use Peace Accords to take it over round 1 and immediately drop a mech on it that acts likes a PDS2. Pretty good combination of their abilities.
Potentially also Yin - they love green tech skips, and there's two adjacent planets with 2 influence each for using the convert-infantry ability.

The green tech skip was one of the primary reasons for picking this position. In a longer game Hyper Metabolism will be crucial, similarly the extra influence Arinam/Meer can offer.
I'm flexible with race, so many good options, Xxcha was one of them but there are others too.

Yssaril would also work very well in that corner of the map, I think.

True true, Yssaril would be good there too. They like defensive corners after all.
Naalu likes green skips and can sometimes chug a lot of CTs, too. But their slower expansion might make it harder to fight over Hope's End. Then again they are guaranteed first in round 2 so...

Now now, let’s not start picking on the Cabal before they pick on you first

I believe I have won as the Yin. In fact I think races beginning with Y have a near 100% win rate on our forum games. The only times yssaril and yin have been played that i recall they have won.
