Summary

The Space Cats are a domineering force when it comes to Twilight Imperium. They're the closest thing the game has to a mascot and when they're in game a lot of things seem to revolve around them. They've also often been accused of dramatically slowing the game down. Today we evaluate what it means to sit down at a table where the Hacan are playing, but not BY YOU. How can you utilize their wares to improve your own position? Are there things you need to do to slow them down? Is Quantum Datahub Node a death sentence for the table?! 1:05:14 - Homebrewer's Guild: Barony of Letnev Heroes! 1:21:02 - The Agenda Phase: ncurry asks “In a vacuum, would you rather have Naalu's 0 token or draw Obsidian? If you chose the 0, what about it versus a custodian point? If you instead chose Obsidian, what about the 0 versus Classified Document Leaks? I guess more generally, it comes down to do you value locking down R5 speaker order or the potential for an extra point more?” Music provided by Ben Prunty.

0:57.1	Um, oh, you're, it's a Bible joke. It's a Bible joke and I just don't know where we stand.
1:02.5	And it's also a joke having to do with the number of the episode that maybe no one paid
1:07.8	attention to. That's right. But perhaps even, and you've already chosen to open with it, even though you're framing it like,
1:14.9	I don't know if I should open with this or not.
1:17.5	I'm opening with the option, you know?
1:19.6	I'm just trying to option.
1:20.9	I'm making a pitch here.
1:23.3	I think you've already done it.
1:25.0	And I think that it, I think it, I didn't like it but I think that you did
1:31.5	do it you know what I mean like it's it's it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission
1:37.0	and you know that's that's a thing in the Bible too.
