Twillight Imperium Game 1: Is anybody out there?

[wuluk]

I will need some time to catch with all this, but I will use my Diplomat on Zohbat to stop the landing of Norr troops on the planet and return them to their War Sun (assuming both Norr GF attempted landing on Zohbat?).

Diplomat can stop troops landing, but not WS bombardement so my GF's are dead anyway.

And I belive, than rather than L1z1x, Norr is up.

Sorry, forgot there was a Diplomat on the planet. Also, you are correct that N'Orr is up next.

Next time I have to pay more attention to my opponent's tech cards...I am moving June 29th and so the next three weeks are going to be incredibly hectic. Sol's attack has essentially put me out of the game and this may be a benefit because I need to focus on moving anyways. You could use my current force as neutral, never moving and I will pass the next round. NExt round I will take Imperium and then a random card after that. I will activate the special abilities in initiative order and then pass after that. Sorry, but the alternative is to wait 3 weeks and to be honest my heart isn't in this game anymore.

N'Orr Begin Turn

CC-TAP:0/4/2-3/5/0

Action: Warfare Strat Card
remove counter in Mellon system

CC-TAP:0/4/3-3/5/0

I can understand that. Good luck with the move.

Honestly, my heart isn't in this game anymore either, although I would like to see if I can still turn the tables on L1z1x.

There is certainly no way that we would find a replacement for you at this time.

What do you want to do wuluk? Carve up as much of N'Orr's planets as possible (obviously I can move on them faster, but I can't do anything with the resources) or just call it a draw?

Hacan, unfortunately with no way to get to N'Orrs planets is essentially SOL.

[wuluk]

I think this game has little point anymore with player leaving so late in the game. I don't like the idea of neutral Norr forces, I agree that we could as well end this at this point. Little shame, but I don't see what else can we do.

As to who was going to win, I think we can continue this discussion in future games

My last hope was "Public Disgrace" in two rounds Or whatever the one is that forces you to pick a different SC and keeping you from achieving your SO somehow. I was hoping the whole time that you needed Mecatol.

[wuluk]

It was Threatening SO. Not very easy here, with my slow ships, long distances between HS and that the mark was on me all the time. And Norr blocked all wormholes, with Diplomacy still in play.

If I could convince Norr to go after you after you taken his HS, perhaps I would have chance. I had also in the Silence of Space AC, but it would probably get sabotaged anyway.

There was still hope that I would get enough VP with just fullfilling POs, I think I would be able to defend my HS for long enough.
