Hey <@&947310962485108816>, really enjoyed my first franken total war game and I'd like to run it back with some tweaks!

Have a few from the last game and looking for 2 more.

Galactic Events:
Hidden Agendas as implemented by the bot, nerfs agenda phase abilities but moves agendas along faster for async. You can play abilities and cards during agenda phase but no talking or transactions unless you're speaker and votes are simultaneous and secret.

Total war rules with the following tweak: The ACTION to discard 10 commodities from planets in your home system to gain 1 victory point can only be taken once per round.

This was discussed in the latest SCPT episode and I'd love to try it. Hoping this keeps the combat going but I'm hoping it gets around some of the crazier late game swings. Was considering also not awarding the commodities if you take a HS but don't want to change too much at once.

Looking for folks that are active 8ish-10ish us east coast times. A little faster than decently fast but not quite super fast. Really would love folks ready to commit to being active to avoid that dreaded async stall!

Planning on banning pillage and nekro tech singularity. Speak up if you want to ban anything else!

Let's battle it out with fun powerful franken factions!

also thinking of a mantis build

#

"Mantis build says you have a bag of 3 blue systems and 2 red systems. You randomly draw a tile and place it next to Mecatol Rex in your slice. Then you randomly draw a tile and place it either in your left equidistant or in the center of your slice, next to your home system in the direction of Mecatol Rex. Then you draw a tile and place it in the other spot. Then you draw a tile and place it either left of your home system or right of your home system. Then you place the last tile in the remaining spot. Often groups will allow each player a single mulligan to put the tile aside, draw a new tile, and place the original tile back in the bag. "

#

@kind pier not sure if you have experience with this or its more trouble than its worth

#

Ah nah that is easy to implement

kind pier
#

I've done that before, a couple of ways.

dapper seal
#

I would say most games of Franken use some form of that for determining slices

#

Puts a bit of a priority on red tiles so you don't get stuck with a bad MR adjacent

#

alright, lets do it!

FYI I am less active on weekends and after 6pm on most weekdays, but still move quickly overall

#

should be fine, we're just finishing a game and it definitley slowed down a bit during the weekends

#

Yeah my partner is not particularly fond when I check in on my phone every 5 minutes to make sure I don't miss moves XD

#

But I check in every 2-3 hours unless I have some engagement that'll lock me down
