For the purposes of the forum game, Riders can be played any time before the end of the reserved discussion period or the first vote is cast, whichever is later. Orders given to me before the end of the discussion period will be played at the close of the discussion period.
I just wish more people had felt chatty earlier in the game.
Starting to think riders are incredibly bad design for discouraging negotiation in the negotiation phase.
Maybe people would just ignore the thing entirely if they didn't exist though.
I don't know.
I stopped trying to chat when no-one wanted anything to do with war suns.
If you don't mind me butting in, there's nothing that prevents further discussion from happening once voting is ready to start, and after all pre-voting card plays have been made. In the rules as written, you're supposed to have Rider declarations before any discussion, so Rider players need to do so blindly. However, I've always run things as Riders being played during/at the end of discussion (while still before voting) so that they can be a bigger part of the negotiation process.
The way that Agenda Phase has operated has also evolved gradually over the course of the forum games to the current form being used in this game. I'm definitely open to suggestions and discussion about how to run Agenda Phases for future games once this one has been completed.

War suns are too expensive and too direct hittable. Also it doesn’t even give you the tech! How silly.
I don't know.
Went into this game thinking the high influence of my sector might allow me to do neat things in the Agenda phase, and that absolutely hasn't been the case.
Feels like there's been little to no willingness to engage with any Agenda unless there have been riders, and that the entire exercise was pointless.
Like I don't think there's been any genuine bargaining of votes the entire game.
