I would suggest letting me win, personally.
...
Please?
You are at 9 and it's completely impossible for me to score a 2vp objective
You could get the 5 planets with a tech specialty pretty easily this round, actually. Especially with those extra command tokens you're about to get.
You could also get 1 point by winning a battle against Naalu and then would need a 1 point objective or Imperial + Mec Rex.
You could even manage the 2 point objective for 2 techs in 4 different colors if you have the action card that lets you research a tech.
It is, of course, easier for discrider to get the 1 point he needs.
I have access to 6 planets with tech specialties sure. Except one is next to your homeworld which I can't reach with any meaningful ships anyway, one is next to hacans homeworld and one is held by the player with my ceasefire
Focused research and technology rider has already been played and in any case i would need both tech and trade goods to pull it off even if I had it

Ok, fine, I'll help you win instead of Phyphor I guess. He did kind of invade my home system, so.
Play: Public Disgrace - Play when another player chooses a strategy card during the strategy phase. They must choose a different strategy card, if able.
Targeting @Phyphor to choose a non-Imperial strategy card.
I think we're waiting on @Ketar to confirm / decline Sabotage play, or for @Phyphor to do the same or just go ahead and select a different strategy card.

I thought we were just waiting for phyphor. I'm not about to sabotage a card I suggested someone should play :P
Not sure if I take Diplomacy and hope to win, or take Imperial and hope to win.
I think the right move is Imperial and roll some dice.
Although obviously we thank @jakobagger for affording us the choice.

Batsignal @MrBody @Ketar @Lykouragh @jakobagger to do something because I certainly can't.
Play: Public Disgrace - Play when another player chooses a strategy card during the strategy phase. They must choose a different strategy card, if able.
Targeting @Phyphor to choose a non-Imperial strategy card.
Welcome to the getting your strategy card stolen club.
Tech. Use naalu racial
@jakobagger
We concluded that the only thing Imperial modifies is the timing of the PO score, as otherwise you could double-score a PO with it.
@discrider
@MrBlarney I should have 7 VP
I think the right move is Imperial and roll some dice.
Although obviously we thank @jakobagger for affording us the choice.
@Ketar
Really though, more surprised by jakobagger, and can only assume he doesn't need it.
