    So, any other offers before I decide where the speaker token lands?

    Only if it comes with handjobs behind the local Olive Garden.

    This is getting ugly. Negotiations become an arms race as to who can offer the LEAST erotic Twilight Imperium fan fiction.

  • KilnagaKilnaga Registered User regular
    Well, since the offers have descended far into twisted joke land, I think it is time to just place the token.

    Speaker token goes to @stever777.

    With that the L1z1x will play our political card: Supported Expansion

    Supported Expansion
    For: Starting with the Speaker, each player may place 1 free Ground Force on 1 uncontrolled planet of his choice.
    Against: Each player loses control of each non-Home System that he does not have at least 1 unit on.

    Votes begin with the Speaker. L1z1x would like to remind the Speaker of previous agreements already paid for regarding territory rights in case the motion passes.

    So everybody doesn't have to rush to look crap up, the current Influence standings of each race should be:

    Jol-Nar - 8 I

    Naalu - 7 I

    L1z1x - 5 I

    Creuss - 3 I

    Muaat - 5 I

    Yin - 4 I

    "The psychedelic mind is a higher dimensional mind, it is not fit for three dimensional space time."
    - Terence McKenna
  • MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    It's hard to tell without a map update, but those current influence values are incorrect. Jol-Nar is at 9 and Yin is at 6.

  • KilnagaKilnaga Registered User regular
    Ohhh, the listed value on the Yin planet was the values counting the reverse, not that it needed to be?

    "The psychedelic mind is a higher dimensional mind, it is not fit for three dimensional space time."
    - Terence McKenna
  • MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    Yin homeworld is 2(r) 4(i). It is not currently reversed.

  • KilnagaKilnaga Registered User regular
    I can't read or do math after being awake for 30 hours. I tried, I really did. It just didn't work out this time. :P

    Yin votes YES

  • stever777stever777 AFK most Saturdays Registered User regular
    The Naalu vote FOR the agenda and are aware of our previous agreements and are still honoring them.
    We're good snakes.

    The L1z1x vote FOR the agreement... obviously

    The Universities remain undecided, but by my count over 50% have already weighed in yes? So the matter is already settled, 18 for, 17 undeclared?

    For the record, Muaat votes against.

    He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!

    Creuss will vote against the agenda in interests of keeping it interesting

    OK, I've corrected the error in the accounting for Yin's swapping ability - I forgot to reset it at the end of Round 1.

    Assembly Vote
    The L1z1x Mindnet: 5 votes - FOR
    The Ghosts of Creuss: 3 votes - AGAINST
    The Embers of Muaat: 5 votes - AGAINST
    The Yin Brotherhood: 6 votes - FOR
    Universities of Jol-Nar: 8 votes
    The Naalu Collective: 7 votes - FOR

    I'd like to remind players that voting starts with the person to the Speaker's left and ends with the Speaker. But the vote is set, and players may go ahead and resolve the FOR part of the Political Card. We'll resolve the secondary afterwards, since everyone excepting the Jol-Nar will then have exhausted planets to potentially refresh.

    EDIT: If anyone needed a list of unclaimed planets, here's the list after accounting for Naalu and L1z1x's picks.
    N - Abaddon (1R, 0I, R)
    N - Arinam (1R, 2I, B)
    N - Ashtroth (2R, 0I)
    N - Loki (1R, 2I)
    N - Meer (0R, 4I)
    N - Mirage (1R, 2I, F (x2))
    N - Quann (2R, 1I, G)
    N - Rigel I (0R, 1I, G)
    N - Tar'mann (1R, 1I)
    N - Tequ'ran (2R, 0I, R)
    N - Thibah (1R, 1I)
    N - Torkan (0R, 3I, B)
    N - Wellon (1R, 2I)

    Muaat will place one Ground Force on Meer (0R, 4I).

    Feel free to grab Arinam Stever777, I just do not have anywhere else I can grab and hopefully keep till next turn.

    Jol-Nar is not pleased with Muaat's annexation of a planet directly adjacent to the Universities' home system. Especially with Quaan and Tarman so much closer to home.

    We have too many planets with double a in their names, needed some ees.

    Not sure the Universities would appreciate that, but thanks for the go-ahead.

    @MrBody
    I believe that planet is controlled, therefore not eligible.
    Check MrB's list above.

    Your actual turn in the round doesn't come up for a while yet, so you've got time. No need to rush. :P

    Ooooh, I see how ownership is marked. I forgot about Muaat taking that through diplomacy.

    Oh did you have some sort of deal worked out? I hadn't been paying attention.

    Anyway, I do not plan on playing trade until much later in the round, did anyone want me to play it earlier? Just thought I would ask before Creuss went.
