    Also, @Brody, if you'd like to put an offer in on my remaining 4 votes, I'm interested.

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    I'll just wait and see if someone tries to skimp on votes and nab it if I have a chance.

    You can't vote for two different options on a single Agenda, unless you're already angling for deals on the second Agenda.

    I was waiting on a notice that we were supposed to start voting ... should I just cast my votes and move on?

    Seems reasonable. I think we've all posted and nobody seems to be playing any cards.

    Oh hey, so I don't need to spend any of my own votes on this? Aces.

    Abstain.

    Voting ends in my favor. @MrBody for second Agenda of the round. Could be quite interesting considering how many votes got saved up.

    And just think - you could've spent only a single vote out of your five! That's four wasted votes!

    2nd agenda

    The Crown of Emphidia

    Elect Player

    The elected player gains this card and 1 victory point.

    A player gains this card and 1 victory point if they capture a planet in the owner's home system. Then the previous owner loses 1 victory point.


    Creuss (Elvenshae): 4
    Jol-Nar (Mojo_jojo): 14
    Arborec (Hedgethorn): 14
    Letnev (Brody): 14
    Winnu (Preda): 8
    L1z1x (MrBlarney): 10

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    War Rider- Play at the start of an agenda. Predict an outcome. You cannot vote. If your prediction is correct, place 1 dreadnought from your reserves on a system with your units.

    I predict Hedgethorn.

    No action card plays from me

    @Hedgethorn I take it you're just taking this one with your card?

    Otherwise, I could have my arm twisted to sell some votes.

    I may use my card. But we should see if anyone else wants to play an action card, and I'm also willing to consider offers if anyone wants to pay me handsomely for the victory point.

  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    Ohoho. Well, I was gonna try to make a deal based on the Support for the Throne promissory note, but I also noticed that you're in the same position as me in being at the back of the pack VP-wise. So I'd have to guess that the Support for the Throne card wouldn't be enough and I don't have any more resources to give.

    @Hedgethorn

    What do you want for it?

  • HedgethornHedgethorn Associate Professor of Historical Hobby Horses In the Lions' DenRegistered User regular
    I'd need something more valuable than a victory point; i.e., more than 5 trade goods (which seems to be the least expensive victory point currently on the table) in order to seriously consider giving this to somebody else.

  • HedgethornHedgethorn Associate Professor of Historical Hobby Horses In the Lions' DenRegistered User regular

    Forgot to do this in the last agenda, so just so it's officially captured in this bit
    Preda gives me his two commodities and 1TG
    I give him 4 commodities

    Activate Jol Naar system
    Move the one GF from Naar to Jol
    Build two carriers (3x2), two fighters (1) and two GF (free from saween tools)

    Slight error I missed before. You can't move them because there was no capacity ships present to carry them. The carriers were built after the movement. The infantry has to stay on Naar for now.

    Also the limit of carriers on the board is 4. You're currently at 3 and can only build 1 more. Do you wish to cancel and have the 3 TG refunded? Or some other change to production?

    I should've been able to take a PDS shot here, since I've got a PDS2 in the Arnor-Lor system.

    @MrBody / @Hedgethorn is it too late?

    Sorry you should have been able to do this.

  • Mojo_JojoMojo_Jojo We are only now beginning to understand the full power and ramifications of sexual intercourse Registered User regular
    @Mrbody Two errors in one move. That's a record even for me! Can I refund the 1TG and have a cruiser instead, please.

    Also Elvenshae made that PDS roll himself a while back and it missed, so there's no need to assign damage
