I gotta say, the all day streaming and Big Kev @Hoss-Drone commentary was some Quality Qontinentals Qontent. Best event promotion I've seen out of the CC in YEARS.

Props to all who helped make it happen! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

And lest I forget... Congrats to Kris @LORE for putting on a TNG Borg CLINIC today. You definitely showed what a well tuned Borg Solver can do in the hands of an expert player. Well met, sir! :cheersL:

And finally, a shoutout to Maggie @jadziadax8 for having the balls to roll with a Hirogen Black Hole solver in today's meta. I know you didn't get the result you wanted, but hopefully you at least enjoyed playing such shenanigans!

I'm sad I couldn't be there to throw down with y'all, but this setup made it feel like I was there to a certain extent. Nice work! :cheersL:

Good luck to the six of you preregistered for the 2E Continentals (and any others who may show up!)

My heart’s not in it for competitive trek anymore…the passion just isn’t there.
It sucks. But hey, s happens.

Live Long and Prosper!

Good morning, fellow insomniac. :wink:

Continentals Day 3 will kick off in a little over 3 hours. Will Big Kev or Kris make it a double dose of Mega Powers to take the 2E title, or will one of the several invaders on-hand take the first place trophy back home? Tune in to find out! :cheersL:

I am watching the video from yesterday. Game 1, Matt vs Maggie at about 1 hour and 40 minutes into the video..... Maggie threw all her people at a space mission on her last turn. She ended up completing the mission after hitting Scout Encounter, QSL, and Irrational Commander. Matt downloaded a scout and a romulan, but when QSL was turned up Maggie pointed out that QSL didn't hit because matt had no card out allowing him to see AU Dilemmas.

What I didn't get was why, since this was the last turn and maggie threw her whole pile of people at that mission, was why Matt didn't just attack her attempting ship with his scout? Scout would have been blown up but her ship would have been stopped and the game would basically have been over. Isn't that the safer play (just, in general, not specific to this game. since it was the last turn)? or was there some reason not to do that? Or maybe Matt just didn't give it a thought since he thought QSL was going to hit?

If so, is it at the same link as yesterday or will there be a new link?
We’ll start as soon as we can wake up @MidnightLich and get him to finish the two-factor authentication of the CC’s YouTube stream.

I believe Matt didn't [DL] a leader to initiate with but I could be wrong. More likely he didn't fight bc he didn't think he needed to do so or forgot he could. Not sure what it was exactly
