it's not your turn tamas, it's max's, then sbr's, then solmyr's.

I was confused about that. I was waiting till someone else posted, or I finished my coffee. I'll pass this round.

If you agree to go to ACTS when it is your turn I will make it so.  :showoff:

First some Housekeeping. 

Max added the Treasures to my hand instead of putting them under Drake.  Drake hasn't returned home yet, he will do so in the Winter so I moved them back under his marker.  If they ended up in my hand I would have 3 Treasures and 2 cards and would have to discard one, that won't work.

Second it looks like Viking missed Max's turn when he sent his out so I redid the conversions and unrest in in the Netherlands.

Then I played my Home Card to cancel the marriage between Elizabeth and Leicester.  I was gypped on the Jilted Lover Roll and drew my extra card.

Lastly I extended with my last Treasure, 2 CP, and built a Race Built Galleon under Hawkins in London.

File sent.

I didn't get that marriage. On 1-5 on the jilt table the Virgin Queen card is superior in every way. 5cp spent on whatever you want beats 2,3 or four spent on influence or mercs every time. The Virgin Queen card has a better cp value that virtually all random cards and it's effect, picking from the discard pile means it almost certainly has a better event effect than any random card. The only effect which might, and I stress might, be superior is the two card draws which might give you more cp and if lucky you might get a better event effect than drawing from the discard pile.

The way I understand the jilt table is that you get bribes to marry elizabeth from suitors that either hope to see you play VQ to pick up some great event card and roll the marriage table or accept that the jilt table is acceptible knowing that england doesn't get the great advantage of picking from the discard pile.

I'm not going to get too involved in my thinking, but I figured that an average roll on the jilted table plus an average card draw would be worth spending the card.  I also knew it probably wasn't the optimal play but how much fun is the optimal play every time?  :P

It's more fun for us others when you play optimally and be the best possible opponent.

Did someone add the Ottoman cav in Belgrade, btw?

France builds 2 galleons in Brest. Tamas already made his play so it's Viking's turn.

actually, everybody can pass, Max and ulmont have already passed. If sbr, Sol and Tamas declare they are passing I can play out my hand.

Well, if everybody else is passing out their turn's we can do it quickly with both of us online.. so don't leave yet, everybody's awake right now. We might get to EOT before bedtime.
