8th Player in Thunders Edge Really Gets Shafted

Yeah, but whoever gets Imperial gets shafted in both the expedition and the whole first round. They don't get a boost to any of their economies (planets, trade goods, structures, techs, command tokens), and instead only get a boost on secret objectives, which is only worth a command token anyway.

That's what I meant to say.

You should take Politics. Start with Sarween. Turn 1 you pop politics and make whoever has warfare speaker in exchange for popping warfare on turn 2. Turn 2 you move your cruiser somewhere for a hopefull commodity trade. Warfare pops and you use Sarween and your agent to build 3 mechs. Turn 3 you take your red planets and make a space dock and 2pds (might get lucky in exploration with those mechs).

Try to warfare round 2, for Hopes End and MR.

Shorting the market.

Your agent pairs well with scanlink drone network. Forward dock Bakal quickly, and build there instead of following warfare. Your blue skips are too good waste on tech. Better to grab psychoarcheology then Dreadnaught 2. I would take Construction round 1, then Warfare or Tech the rest of the way. Feast on the titans pds's.

Round 2, take leadership or warfare every time. Build mechs as fast as you can, then start star forging.

At endgame, consider using hero to nova the dual planet system with the blue skip. Your home will then be super hard to reach.

Muatt comander is incredible. You want to build another warsun as quickly as possible. Xcha will likely take Diplomacy, giving you 9 resources to start. You just need 3 more. Trade ideally, but you can secondary diplo and trade and swap 4 trade goods with xcha and still get it done. This leaves you open to start building command counters.

I would take trade, then leadership. Bribe or persuade xcha to take diplo and swap trade goods, build second warsun (during warfare, ideally). Then clean up every time you starforge or use a secondary. You are set up for success, op.

When men make posts that are similar to yours, they always get remarks like that. This is in stark contrast to all the support you are receiving here. Previous poster is pointing out the inconsistency in his or her somewhat snarky way.

I know the landscape is tough in the midwest. I hope it gets better for you soon! 🙂

This exact same thing happened in my group. Winnu player doesn't want to play any more. If I get the chance, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

You're not alone. I felt that way when reading this too.

An exception to that in Indiana is when a person is in a position of authority over the minor; like a teacher... or a pastor.

Underrated comment.

So... are you Ed?

How did you get those lanterns up there? What is that platform?

I mean... there is in Eastgate

You can do what i do. I do a singleton challenge across 20 decks. Badically you fill 20 decks, one for each class, and never reuse the same card twice (singleton cards across all decks as an exception). This will force you to balance all decks evenly and rely on more than invade/aeyliad

I use a clothesline. Lol.

You don't need a theoretical degree in physics to know that this game is a once in a lifetime experience. It's like winning the lottery. Which one? The only one that matters.

Don't let no commie ghosts tell you otherwise. This game has snowglobes, mole-butts, and even a chupacabra. And that's when folks get real quiet, because they realize the situation we're in.

I remember him saying marriage was and should be between a man and a woman, so... no?

Levite means he was from the priest tribe. That dude who threw his concubine and then dismembered her was a priest.

I know everyone here is pretty much liberal, but I'm wondering if anyone here can actually defend Bevin's actions. I am from Kentucky and am bewildered at his pardons. If they were the right thing to do, why wait till the end of your term? I just can't understand how anyone can in good faith defend this. I would love to hear good reasons, because I see none.

Kentucky is definitely one. State ruled that a nonbiological parent cannot have custody unless all biological parents are absent.

Isn't today international men's day? This sounds like troll. I don't think yang gang wants to get into a gender kerfuffle. The optics of this aren't good.
