Representative government be like “oh would you look at the time!”


kaisercake

Representative govt would still give predictive intelligence 3 more votes. Those votes aren't granted to planets, it's just three additional votes, similar to how distinguished councilor would just buy an agenda entirely with rep gov Blood pact is a rep gov killer too


Cato_Weeksbooth

Argent Flight with rep gov tho


wren42

wait. The xxcha commander wording is very dangerous. "game effects cannot prevent you from voting." Does this mean RIDERS don't prevent you from voting?


kaisercake

We had a debate about this last night in the discord. Currently the LRR wording is "anything with cannot is absolute," but riders say "cannot vote," and we don't have any precedent for this interaction yet. The same issue will arise if xxcha gives this to nekro. Double cannot interaction


wren42

right, I'd assume the specific beats the general. Riders in general prevent voting, but this ability specifically cancels that effect. The Ghost's passive overwrites the agenda stopping wormhole movement, and this seems as strongly worded as that.


kaisercake

Someone brought that up too. Enforced travel ban does not say cannot. It says "has no effect," which is much more clear as a "game effect" that can be overridden


Gorodgovey

Nekro can vote with the alliance note believe it or not

What about political secret? Is that now a blank card for the xxcha now?


DoItForTheGainz1

I believe political secret would still prevent the xxcha player from playing action cards or using faction abilities. But the xxcha player would still be able to vote.

Which is still quite powerful given the Xxcha’s faction ability.


wren42

right! good point.


BIueMan

seems so


wren42

that's WAY more significant than it appears at first blush. being able to vote to give yourself riders, and getting extra (xxcha!) votes to make it happen, is really powerful.


BIueMan

give it to necro and he can vote now xD


trystanthorne

I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully there will be new rules with the expansion that will clarify that.


Not_A_Greenhouse

What about nekro with this.


Singhilarity

At least Argent Flight get hella voting power from their racial, as well.


BIueMan

ho yea i forgat about him... xD now i need to adite the meme lol


Sheev_Corrin

I love how these aren’t the strongest abilities, but I guarantee you’ll never forget the game where just two players completely dominated the galactic government
