Zero-1 PBF

Mentak vote for. Naalu next.

Aweberman:

As for whether Promissory Note deals are public or private, I think the evidence is pretty strong in favor of public. Here’s the quote from the rules I’m looking at:

The Rules:

Starting with the Speaker, each player follows these steps to offer a Promissory Note:

The player may offer 1 Promissory Note facedown to another player and ask him to vote a specific way for this Political Card.

The receiving player looks at the Promissory Note and either agrees to vote the specific way and keeps the Promissory Note or refuses and returns the Promissory Note to the offering player.

The fact that this is done in turn order argues strongly for it all being public.
The mechanics as described here (offer a PNC facedown, ask a question; look at the PNC, agree/disagree) all are phrased as a public negotiation. A portion of it is private, obviously – the PNC is never revealed. But I don’t think the language supports this being a secret negotiation. And it is pretty important information that’s being decided on.

. . . I think it goes against the spirit of the rule for PNCs also to go private.

But, as I already said, I will obviously accede to the GM.

I agree with Awberman’s rationale, but am willing to do whatever the GM thinks will make the game run smoother and faster.

[size=150]Naalu [/size]is up for voting.

Shifi · November 19, 2011, 7:35pm

For the record, the way I’ve always played is that the way one needs to vote for a PNC is public. But like everyone said, I’ll play however the GM rules.

AbsoluteZero · November 19, 2011, 9:21pm

Good enough argument for me. When passing a PNC the vote is public. I’m still ok with doing them out of order tho, for the sake of assembly not taking a week. Everyone agree there?

jeffpoole · November 19, 2011, 9:27pm

Yes.

Not2good · November 19, 2011, 10:43pm

Yes, though speaker should get first opportunity IMO, since that is pretty powerful being able to lock in the first vote, and cast the last one. This card (Assembly 2) is a time-sink regardless.

2Kid · November 19, 2011, 11:02pm

Yes. Make the time-sink go away. Looks like I will be working out of town next week in the hinterlands of limited internet access. I will be PMing as many pre-orders as possible to AZ. But it would be nice if we could make it through Assembly first so I know the lay of the land. Cheers, Lyle

Aweberman · November 20, 2011, 12:18pm

Also agreed.

So that’s 8 votes FOR, and with N’orr locked in, 8 votes AGAINST.

That means Naalu is the tie-breaker.

We knew this would happen. In fact, we made it happen. With our telepathy.

Much as Naalu would like a PNC for voting with N’orr, we are more interested in tech.

Naalu votes FOR, which passes the agenda at 11-8.

Naalu will copy Deep Space Cannon from N’orr.
We will also do the secondary. Refresh Quann and gain 1AC.

2.3.4 5tg 1ac 2pc

I assume you meant Vefut II.

Updated - there was a lot so let me know if I made any mistakes.

Concerning the annoyance of peeking at ACs and preliminary objectives, I’ll ask you to hold out until the strategy phase. When we get to the strategy phase I’ll ask you each to submit your strategy selection in the form of a save file. That will be your opportunity to permanently get control of those cards as well as the ACs passed out in the status phase.

We will be activating Diplomacy as our action, claiming an empty planet. Awaiting a PM to find out which planet though… apparently Perimeter is not a valid target .
