It is not our fault you just recently discovered how to develop an olfactory system and do not understand that all raves and species are “stinky” in some sense. You just need to dial it back a bit so it is not overwhelming.
And we already had internal plumbing. It was deemed inefficient in most respects, thank you very much. Besides, it is shinier outdoors.
That said, the overgrown toaster ovens have a point. I will spend 3 votes for Mallice.
That brings us to the Winnu and @MIGHTYSploosh to cast their vote.
I agree for Mallice. Ill put 5 votes exhausting Cealdri and Xanhact.
This provides the hollow, soulless, empty shells of the Ghosts and @GabrielH the opportunity to vote in their own defence, if they so choose.
Please note: the Titans of Ul are also hollow, soulless, empty shells. We say this as a mark of pride among us non-meat-species.
You have it all wrong, we’re nothing alike! We ghosts may be hollow, but we’re not soulless! In fact, our souls are the most real part of us, the metal suits are mere decoration. You, on the other hand, are full of nothing but deep fried zucchini sticks! Yes, I saw you at the political banquet, Tellurian, you can’t deny it!
Anyway, I’ll abstain from voting.
Moving us on to @GeeBizzle, the pirate king.
I’ll pass on voting this time
(to @Captbnut to vote)
I’m going to keep my powder dry on this vote. @Marx to bring us home on this one I believe
With the vote going exactly as it should for the good of everyone*, I will also abstain.
Malice is free from Infantry, Gabriel gains 3** Trade Goods, and we can move on to the next Agenda card being flipped over (EDITED: not the next “phase” yet, since we’ve only done one vote)
@Delwayne, if you would be so kind?
*Everyone still does not include the Ghosts.
**Reminder that @GeeBizzle can steal one Trade Good if they so choose.
I’ll take some spoils.
Sorry for the delay. I’ve got some out of town guests…
But here is the next agenda and Thank you to all of you for being able to continue when I’m not available!
Oooh, that’s a good one.
@COMaestro, @MIGHTYSploosh, @GeeBizzle, @GabrielH and @Captbnut, if any of you have Riders this is a good time to declare them. 50/50 at worst, and I certainly hope we all vote “FOR” this law.
Granted, I am slightly biased because Titan PDS are amazing, but ya know, you do you.
I will use my technology rider. And predict it will be “for” infinite pds’s. Or is there a limit? Either way it should be for.
We still have only a finite number of PDS in our Empire (6, I think?), but you normally can only have 2 on a single planet at most.
This is a very good law for the Winnu, who want to drop ALL the PDS on Mecatol anyway.
It’s pretty good for the Ghosts, since they can fire from one wormhole system to almost anywhere on the board (Malice, for example, is adjacent to 6 systems excluding Ghost-specific tech, which might make it adjacent to 8 systems? And wherever their Flagship is?).
It’s a good one for me because my PDS also function as Infantry for purposes of planetary defence and I can make PDS cheaply and quickly (as evidenced by the 4 I already had on the board).
For everyone else… it’s not bad? But losing a PDS sets everyone else back a Construction turn at least (unless you also need a Spacedock somewhere, in which case it might set you back 2 or 3 turns).
Seems pretty obvious to me.
Yes, the Titans can make them cheaply and easily, hence I suggest it is a bad idea to give them the ability to create even more on a given planet. Same with the Ghosts on Mallice. Once PDS’s are upgraded to fire a system away, it gives them far too much “defensive” (read: offensive) capability, as they can fire whenever anyone enters a neighboring active system, even if they themselves are not the target of the moving ships.
Nope I don’t like it. Going to veto this unless anyone can persuade me otherwise.
No horse in this race for me. I think it’s a good law, but if you want to veto it, go ahead.
Obviously @MIGHTYSploosh will get their Rider back, no issue there, but they might want the Tech Rider to go through, so maybe they’ll offer to bribe you?
No bribe on this one. Everyone has their choice.
Yeah it’s being veto’d then. Sorry @Delwayne can we have another please?
Here is the new Agenda.
A good discussion prior to voting would be helpful.
