Note that regardless of the episode title, #sarbor’s-shoutouts-channel isn't just for devs - I love when it's used for any kind of good vibes around here

[wicked yarrow]

What about my bad vibes? 🙂

[spare roost]

I think that's #async-play-etiquette or #the-obligatory-memes-channel

[south swift]

I have a rules shout-out for next week!

Bioplasmosis doesn't specify your own units, which is usually fine... Except in alliance mode it allows you to shuffle your allies units around on your planets as well

Requirements:
At the end of the status phase, you may remove any number of infantry from planets you control and place them on 1 or more planets you control in the same or adjacent systems.

Can be situationally useful for trading planets to your ally
sike, it's end of status phase, which is after you redistribute tokens. You can do it the other way though, get given a planet SO THAT you can shuffle their infantry around

[spare roost]

I'll take it under advisement but I'm not sure I'm ready to combine "rules" and "alliance mode" in the same sentence 😅

What haven’t I broken

[drifting trail]

I thought since you are already considered to control your allys planets for non-objective reasons, you can already shuffle your infantry to those planets and would not need to be given the planet

Sooo

[south swift]

Nah, that just makes it better

The point isn't shuffling your own infantry, the point is shuffling their infantry

[cyan sleet]

Hey that's me! Thanks for the shout out!

I really did just have a really good set up for Muaat and having Nova Seed be the best way of getting point #10 was sweet

[spare roost]

I just love seeing cool powers do cool stuff AND win

[cyan sleet]

My other option was blowing up my own Hope's End right in front of my home system to make sure I held on to the shard point and even light wave couldnt reach me.

So there were lots of fun choices that game haha

[shadow flare]

Just finished this one. Glad you included the amazing Dead World story

[spare roost]

This podcast is remarkably community driven, if you ping me with something, high chance it makes it in

[astral bobcat]

Hey @spare roost I would like to hear your top 10 TI4 factions as if they were characters in a Taylor Swift song, thanks

[spare roost]

the only Taylor Swift song I know is Blank Space I think

but that'd be interesting

[frozen smelt]

Which faction's name will you write?

[south swift]

I want @astral bobcat on to talk about pbd2k

Maybe in a few weeks when he can talk a little more freely

[rancid field]

Maybe you want to mention the #1187879236267167744 that just entered the probably last but very on the "let's put some plastic in the grinder"-site round

[south swift]

The "the all admins game" game

[shadow flare]

I'm sure there are no high stakes riding on this game!

meanwhile

[wintry mason]

[spare roost]

I'm excited to look at this closer, thank you so much!

[south swift]

I'd like to nominate blank space for empyrean

I like a lot of these btw, very good work

[wintry mason]

That’s good. Emily says she was kicking herself for not including “Blank Space” somewhere.

[wicked yarrow]

You mean the song by I Prevail? 🙂 https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZiJidFdQ30nVJEP4u44l3

[wicked yoke]

I started to review the songs and realized that I literally didn't recognize any of them. Then I saw the previous post about whose songs those were and started to dry heave
