My Space Fleet is Invincible! — Let's Play Twilight Imperium Third Edition

Just to double check here... as the person calling the assembly, I AM totally allowed to wait until everyone else has voted then make mine, backed up with action-card-shenanigans right? Or am I actually technically forced to cast the first vote?

As the Speaker, you cast the last vote and break any ties.

Anyone else could use an appropriate Action Card as well, of course.

Casting one vote for Googleshng.

Three votes for Epithet.

Just waiting on Egar and me at this point?

Yep yep. Slow day!

EDIT: And since it is, I might as well post this:



These are the cupcakes my wife made for my birthday party last weekend, in recognition of the game of TI3 we were playing. Just wanted to show them off!

Those are AWESOME. Lucky guy.

Here's the tally so far, bringing it to this page.

Nominees
Googleshng: 4
Epithet: 4

Waiting on both Egarwaen's and Google's 1 vote. Though since Google is the Speaker and breaks ties, I think it's safe to say that Epithet has joined me in the Tradeless ranks.

Doesn't `Hrist also get three votes since she has 3 free influence?

Yeah, those are accounted for.

Then doesn't that mean that Epithet has 6 votes?

You're right, 'Hrist actually has 3 votes, but she only declared one.

Nominees
Googleshng: 4
Epithet: 6

That's even more in Epithet's corner.

So, vote's over, unless Googleshng wants to take one for the team.




Time for refreshing planets! I'll do this, and refresh Tar'Mann and Lisis for 6 total resource/influence.

COMMAND COUNTERS
Command Pool: 4
Strategy Allocation: 1
Fleet Supply: 5
Activations: 2
Total in play: 12/16

PLANETS (Resources/Influence)
Darien – 4/2*
Centauri - 1/3
Gral - 1/1, Blue Tech Specialty
Tar'Mann - 1/1
Lisis - 2/2

The Mindnet passes on that secondary.

I think Googleshng might have an Action Card to play, the way he was talking earlier; we should wait for Egarwaen and him for the final tally.

Gosh, now I'm all confused.

I have 3 free influence, she has 3 free influence.

GUYS.

I'M NOT A THREAT AT ALL.

STOP IT.

In the interest of speeding things along, I have a giant middle finger in any vote card, which I don't really have a reason to play if this one isn't ending with bad things pointed at me, so, I guess we can move on at this point. Have to wonder where Egar vanished to though.

Also, them's some neat cupcakes. Do the colors of different eggs reflect different resource/influence yields?

Sorry, alternating Saturdays suck for me due to having to run one of our local Vampire LARPs.

I'm going to vote for Severian. This is utterly meaningless in every respect.

So can we play the secondary now?

This turning into the longest round.

OK, so, it's Epithet, then? Man. That seems harsh! I guess that means our Trade Agreement is broken.

And yeah, let's move on. I'll take the secondary, spending a CC to refresh Jord.
