Mix of new, intermediate, and experienced players helping ppl learn the game and the async interface.
Had a dropout in round 1, figuring that restarting is probably the best way forward.

Whispers are on, otherwise standard, mix of timezones already (US + UK) so don't mind where you're at.
Looking for at least an action a day.

I'd like to keep the same faction pool as the game we started but I can be convinced otherwise as well:

(Hacan, Ghosts, Sardaak, Titans, Empyrean, Cabal, Sol, Arborec and Yin)

wise lichen
#

( @dawn temple is playing hacan in a live game this weekend and wants some practice)

simple eagle
#

i'd also be good to sit next to the hacan player and be kinda aggro to see how they handle it

wise lichen

Hello, person named Patrick!

dawn temple
wise lichen
#

Yes! Who I know intimately

dawn temple
#

he's empy

wise lichen
#

Also let it be known that I apologized to Mr Muaat for getting snippy with him at the end of our last session. It was not my place to bring emotion into a place of business

fervent mural
#

Is this Eric?

wise lichen
#

Yes lol

dawn temple
#

yeah this is eric

#

oh right my girlfriend was asking about ur prof pic

wise lichen
#

Damn was it that fresh in your memory who got snippy with Muaat

dawn temple
#

she's a music person

fervent mural
#

I know what Ed’s profile photo looks like

dawn temple
#

and wanted to know if the pic + GiantSteps is a lil jazz joke

fervent mural
#

And I figured it wasn’t Eli

wise lichen
#

Was she glad to see Mr G or was she wondering if it was an ironic choice

#

Haha yes ok

fervent mural
#

Also

dawn temple
#

yeah she was wondering if it was ironic

teal trout
#

@simple eagle

fervent mural
#

I don’t know who else would have been snipping at Mr Mu other than his neighbor

wise lichen
teal trout
#

Eh blue skips are overrated just have blue tech smh

simple eagle
#

@teal trout your draft

teal trout
#

@dawn temple

dawn temple
#

@teal prawn

wise lichen
#

i am definitely suffering the slice consequences of my choices lol

#

that's a nice hacan slice right there bud

dawn temple
#

ya i am pretty jazzed

#

all i lost was speaker order it seems

#

could everyone just leave trade for me thank you

#

idk though none of these slices are awful

#

even slice 7 has its charms

#

70% of the time, you have free grav drive!

teal trout
#

If someone chooses vulrath I will def buy the pn

wise lichen
#

@teal prawn you're up

#

that was quick!

teal prawn
#

@dawn temple

wise lichen
#

oh we're CRUSHING it today aren't we

#

3 rounds?

dawn temple
#

@teal trout to finish!

#

we are going far!

wise lichen
#

@teal prawn i think we can have a beautiful R1 together, let's chat

teal prawn
#

Oooo excited to hear what your thinking haha

simple eagle
#

Hmm so I was hoping to get Sol, if you couldn't tell from the slice

#

I would like to play Cabal TBF, but it might feel a little like bullying loki

dawn temple
#

cabal is pretty fun

simple eagle
#

well its going to be Cabal or Titans

dawn temple
#

i dont think u have to be super mean with cabal, u could make use of the ghosts PN to travel the world

#

green skip is pretty good for cabal as well

#

titans is fun too though

#

also just wanna plug that cabal + ghosts alliance swap is pretty good if you can be using the PN

#

both fighter-driven factions gettin more fighters out

teal trout
#

FYI

#

I’ll def buy pn

simple eagle
#

decided to stick with Titans, sorry

#

@rustic helm last pick

#

(now its going to be all eco-objectives and I'll be sad)

#

I figure with Creusa I don’t really need a slice. All wormholes are my slice

#

but also slice 2 is my slice

#

@wise lichen are you enough of a gambling man to send a carrier with an infantry through the rift, straight to perimeter?

wise lichen
#
