Will Nekro pds be shooting at Arborec ships?
Absolutely, Arborec shafted us big time with that agenda.
What !?!?!??
I gave you a VP man, the Alastor can’t get one of those. Can’t you just say ‘thank you’ for once???
…The space dock going away was unanticipated.
Thank you is not the evil robots forte. Especially not not after losing 20+ res worth of units and cc’s.

Nekro’s turn.
1 hit to mu, 1 to GF.
Nekro Strategic Action. Play Diplomacy on Tsion/ Bellatrix.
Mentak to decide if changes to the board changes his move?
Naalu decline Diplomacy secondary.
But we feel the need to state what everybody else is already thinking: Arborec is in a great position to use that secondary… 
Also, big thanks to Jeff for sticking it out to the bitter end … and without delaying the game at all.
Seconded
Indeed it was there or Mecatol Rex and that felt tainted. But we do appreciate the pointing. Like when we point out that the Naalu probably got a VP out of the last agenda and didnt have to lose 20+. My lofty position on the VP track is based on the second artifact which I took to prevent a Jol-Nar counterattack. An artifact I have no strength to hold. So perhaps before we use all our energy, ships, ac’s to beat upon the evil nekro we could consider that the Naalu are at the basically the same point total.
I won’t comment on what PNC was passed. However, I will say that the involved parties knew that I would rule all PNC of an eliminated player are removed from play, along with their TAs, and everything else. The rules do not cover this specifically, but I think it’s a reasonable extrapolation based on what has been written about elimination before shards was released.
@Jeff - sorry this one didn’t work out well for you. Thanks so much for seeing it through!
Mentak does not change action. Norr next.
Jeff, thanks for playing and sticking to the end. I’m starting a new game in 2 weeks after my short course week. Maybe a little sooner. I’m sure I will get bored in class. If your interested, let me know.
