Fast game, TIGL if you all want. 10VP 6P milty? What do you guys want, 6 factions 6 slices? 9 each?

@tribal grove @fickle garnet @half hill @hushed sand @glossy trail

Omg percy you're not mojo jojo here

[glossy trail]

My secret shame

[half hill]

I vote for 9 factions, 7 slices. Not feeling like losing a game because the milty app rolled a 6 for me 😋

[glossy trail]

I am fond of absol agendas and relics too

Yes, faction and slice choice even for the last place is good with me

[hushed sand]

Happy with a wider draft. Still trying to finish playing every faction at least once 😅

About to start an in person game today so will be slow/unavailable today but otherwise pretty good about taking my turn when it gets to me. Try to get a few actions in a day. But also working on avoiding async becoming my mental fixation all day 😂 getting better at that.. 🤔

Just got out of a game with @tribal grove where they graciously filled a spot after a player raged when I hit them early to score an SO I would have never gotten otherwise 😅 but it all worked out 🤷‍♂️

That sounds like an intro to some kind of TI4 abuse group. This is a safe space. You can share how much mentak upset you here. There is no judgement

[jagged sundial]

Edit: 🥩 i wanted to share my own commiseration story here

But I'll comment elsewhere

Just know that you are seen 🫡 🤝

[jagged sundial]

Gosh darnit

BLT said no this time

I batsignaled the wrong person!

Early morning bad brain

@limpid locust is playing

If somebody tells me how to do absol relics and not techs i can do that

Does anyone prefer straight vanilla? I like that they gave passive relics a purge

And i like that the agendas are often something that moves speaker token

Feels like you really have to care about your votes instead of 50/50 maybe they do nothing

Also 9 factions 7 slices sounds good

[limpid locust]

I had to seriously cut back on games so it wasn't taking up so much mental space. I HAVE noticed my play in my remaining games slipping due to that though...

[jagged sundial]

I think we will try to play quite fast when we get started but these first days are busy for many of us

So no rush yet

[limpid locust]

Any place we can see the changes that Absol's has?

The relics are generally beefier which arguably makes Naaz more powerful. As pups said the agendas tend to give you more reason to vote rather than just abstain through

[hushed sand]

Cool with just keeping it vanilla pok but also won’t complain about trying something new!

[tribal grove]

So many messages!!

[tribal grove]

I dislike Absol agendas. Could be talked into playing with Absol relics.

If we're doing homebrew I'd much rather try Will's little omega variant, which made small changes to quite a few cards

(haven't tried Little Omega yet)

[jagged sundial]

I was mostly just going with the flow from Mojo so if sarbor dislikes absol agendas then I'm p disinclined to consider them

[glossy trail]

Okay, happy not use them if you're not a fan

[tribal grove]

I'd much rather skip agendas altogether than make them longer and more meaningful lol

[glossy trail]

Haha

[tribal grove]

But as I said, very happy to try little omega, or even the red tape scoring variant if people are looking for homebrew

[glossy trail]

I've not looked at little omega. Let me have a look. I'm not demanding homebrew or game weirdness
