Galactical Conquest!

The gathering was held 30th of October 2010 at Count Oscars newly acquired Hidden Chamber


Tidings across the galaxy! We conjured ourselves to Count Oscars grand manor and to his Hidden Chamber to be precise. Way to the chamber was perilous, and it somehow reminded us of one post-apocalyptic rpg whichs name is better to be left unmentioned. Anyhows, there was six of us, as Sir William was carrying on his little big adventure in some remote island kingdom far far away, but luckily High Admiral Jouni of Sol (previously known as Le Jouni) and Sami the Great Bitch of Naalu (previously known as Saminovitzs) stepped out in order to achieve suitable number of participants.

And so we played Twilight Imperium with Shattered Empires expansion. Jakubias of the Pussycats ruled the Emirates of Hacan, Masamund the Pureblooded governed the mysterious Winnu, Wormface Oscar lived among the insect race of Sardak Nor, High Admiral Jouni commanded the unlucky fleets of Federation of Sol and the Great Bitch Sami raised anger with his Naalu Collective and Jannek the Brilliant Light shone amongst the Embers of Muaat.


It was decided that the galaxy would be huge, so the game spanned to over 10 hours, and still the participants had to call it quits as they tired to each other. Most of the game everyone just amassed more planets my conquering their neighbourhooding systems. Notable events during the game was collective decision to shun Sami and his Naalu's, as they were found to poorly balanced race with their ability to be the first in every single fucken iniative. Masamund was the only one to advance his technology to the level of War Suns, not counting the one warsun of the Embers of Muaat that Jannek had. Also, Jakubias and his Hacan race managed to trade their excrements to Sardak Nor of Oscar in exchange of gold which the worms found unuseful. Jannek was the one to conquer Mecatol Rex, but other than these few happenings, the game was bit dull, like Wormface Oscars chamber, as seen on the right side of text.

Nevertheless, playing Twilight Imperium is always exciting and the game is just massive, if only there would be more suitable days to sacrifice to this behemoth, as routine would slice off some downtime which is mostly caused by arguments and poor overal memory of rules. It was decided that sequel match would take place in near future.
