Yo!

Now that I can assimilate George and Gracie, what are the obscure rulings if I target them for Assimilate Counterpart?

Today's rules update article essentially treats ANIMALS like any other personnel. So they're open for assimilation :D

I'm asking more from a dual personnel perspective. Do you get the points for m both or just the male? How is the lady treated by being with a counterpart etc...

aah. i do like that this rule was deleted, to make the game easier. and crazier ;)

New favourite skill for borg to share using borg queen: animal. muahaha

Who is Gowron? We have a new counterpart speaking for the klingon empire!

Note the idea for that card was sent to me by eberlems * giving credit* :)

Lol, [TNG] [Bor] can now skill share ANIMAL as a first listed skill once they assimilate one.

Does this make Spot of Borg the new Nineteen of Twenty in terms of recursion?

Same way it's always worked - there's been plenty of dual-affiliation personnel that have been eligible for assimilation. ;)

Sorry Niall,

From the assimilation - personnel glossary entry:
Dual-personnel cards may not be targeted for assimilation as a counterpart.

Therefore, especially since I believe we have a Classic Movie block coming up, we definitely need separate George and Gracie cards. ;)

I read this as Decipher throwing up its hands in exasperation at its own past choices. :)

Or they were not ready for a polyamorous Queen.

I always read it as "you're allowed one counterpart. Duals are two people. Two > one."

True, but it must already be in play with no current counterparts to be able to make a dual counterpart.

Eleven of Fourteen can fetch it though.
