[2 VP] Expansionist: I control 8 systems outside of my Home System. I "control" a system if I have at least one (non-Fighter) ship there, and I control every planet in the system.
[1 VP] I control 5 planets outside my Home System.

@kaneski as the last part of our Speaker agreement we were going to talk about you leaving a SC for me to take. The one I would like to request is: Leadership. But if you need that for some reason, and are willing to play it in the first or second turn, I would be willing take something else. I will also be leaving Garbozia in my first or second turn.
@Lykouragh, exhausting resources/influence for wealth comes after planets get refreshed, not before. You'll need to specify which worlds you're exhausting for that purpose.
EDIT: Yes, all three of Sol, Creuss, and Mentak qualify for the Vorhal Peace Prize bonus.
@robinlambert, your claim of Expansionist is invalid, as you only control five systems (Jord, Lykouragh's Path, Alpha Wormhole, Beta Wormhole, Garbozia). Please revise your claims.

[1 VP] Infiltrator: I have destroyed at least 1 enemy ship in a system adjacent to its owner's Home System.
I actually had a dream the other night about this very game! Was playing out turns, and every move I had the exact number of ships, resources, and counters to pull it off, perfectly claiming every single objective before winning
All players now draw 1 Action Card (excepting Hacan, who draws two) and 2 Command Counters (excepting Mentak and Creuss, who each draw three, and Sol, who draws four) for allocation. Post your allocations in the thread if you have not done so already.
Secret Objective and Action Card draws are going out now.
Always willing to trade (and that is for everyone!). I've a Recheck and a card that will act on strategy choices for sale, But I must know something more on what I get before trading for it.
I don't like revealing to trade, mostly because if refused it will affect my ability to play it (and yours). I'll take the strat choice card or 2TG. It'll be worth it.
Not a chance in hell that I give you 2 TG, but I'm willing to risk and excange with you the strategy choice AC for your supposedly 3/4 TG card. Consider this the ufficial answer pending your confirmation.
The Recheck (reroll 1 dice) is for sale if anyone want it.
What a perfect way of giving me exactly what you stated , but only if I give also something else to you back, Mentak Friend... I like it, and I wan't forget

where do you put the command counter @robinlambert ?
Meanwhile Hacan Choose Assembly and @stever777 is next.
Damn Hacan...
Uh, so... @robinlambert much as it sucks, you can't really unlock the one of each color techs total or 5 of 1 color PO... Because Hacan will take the speaker token and win next round by unlocking Imperium Rex... Unless they lose a LOT of planets between now and next round.
Yep, gonna need to know how you're going to convert your command counters, robinlambert.
Selection of the Bureaucracy II Strategy Card unlocks the following objectives:

He could unlock whatever he want, as long as he doesn't unlock something I could complete, since right now I couldn't complete anything and you already have one point to take and get the point to tie me...
