Agents Of Empire/Scuttlebutt

Join the League of Champions!

House Intrepid is forming a new interplanetary Astro-Polo league, the League of Champions! Seve Ballesteros and the Krazybuys(tm) Arabian Knights are on a pre-season tour to help drum up interest. If you'd like to like to host an exhibition match in the next few turns, let us know!

(What that means mechanics-wise: our cargo ship visits your planet with my PC aboard. No military units. If you want to trade goods on the side, great. If you join the League, there'll be another match later on, perhaps with an Imperial visit and some real money involved.)

• To foster community spirit between colonials and natives, House Advantage are doing their best to put together an amateur team, the Fort Tomorrow Tree Squid. The Tree Squid place a high emphasis on image marketing, after-game banquets, spray-on uniforms, ambiguous rough-housing, xenophobia and, indeed, virtually any aspect of sport that draws attention away from the actual gameplay.

• Huzzah! House Intrepid's (de facto) flagship Titanicus will drop by Hrobaj on turn 2, in time for the Trade and Politics phases.

• House Aramin proposes a combined polo match and commodities exchange: if Intrepid brings N units of (rank 0) Warp Crystals, Aramin will trade N units of (rank 0) Unsorted Crystals for them. And play a game of polo to celebrate! (Another option: four units of (rank 0) Warp Crystals for one unit of (rank 1) Sorted Crystals.)
