Pledge of Loyalty and Fealty to the Emperor, Lord Insanus Cancer, ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind

We the undersigned hereby pledge loyalty and fealty to the Emperor, Lord Insanus Cancer, ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind. 

We acknowledge that stewardship of the planets under our House is given only through the benevolent generosity of the Emperor, and that the Emperor holds eminent domain over all.  We pledge to serve the Emperor for all time, through life and death, sickness and health, and to never betray him, nor raise a banner in opposition, nor lift a finger against him.

The Emperor is the wisest and most powerful human in all of the universe.  It is a joy to wake every day knowing the Emperor guides us with wisdom and courage, and that he is much smarter and far more handsome than anyone else.  We pledge to follow his every order, for his grand plan is ineffable and to counter his designs is treason against the entire human race.  We pledge allegiance to the Emperor and will spend every waking moment thinking about how great he is.

We promise to never ever break this contract, ever.

Signed,
Lord Tyrannous, of House Sinister.

Turn 10: Decidedly One-Sided
I am the Emperor.  My word is law.

TURNTURNTURN


The Emperor's Mood: Discontent



The Emperor Insanus Cancer frowns at the larger-than-life-size statue of himself.  It was...okay.  The artist had managed to capture his likeness reasonably well enough, but...

"It's a little small, isn't it?"

"You are the one who insisted on modeling nude, my Emperor."

"What? No, I mean the scale."

"It's a one-to-forty scale statue, my Emperor.  That's already quite considerable."

"Yes, but I am the Emperor, am I not?"

"Yes, my Emperor."

"Then I deserve a statue erected reflecting my stature."

"This statue seemed erect enough, my Emperor, but I'll see what can be done."



New Event!  The Emperor is accepting donations of Alloys for construction of a new civil works project!  Whoever donates the most will receive one Favour.  Unlike normal bids, losers do not receive their Alloys back.  Contributing nothing means you do not love the Emperor and WILL result in Excommunication.

New Planet Available!
2[0]R: Size 2 Refineryworld
Available for auction. Starting bid is 10^.
A small, frozen, desolate rock on the outer fringes of a dying solar system, this oddly-orbiting planet was apparently once an exoplanet.  Ejected from its native system by a particularly violent super nova, this planet was captured by the local gas giant and slung into an unstable orbit.  Faint traces of exotic minerals are present in the surface.  Some careful orbital manipulation will be required to stabilize this planet, as well as to move it into a lower and more energy-profitable orbit.



War!
House Sinister (9 Fleets) attacks the Rebel Planet (3 Fleets):
Automatic Victory for Sinister!

House Sinister (8 Armies) lands on the Rebel Planet (5 Armies):
Sinister 1d6+8 = 13 | Rebel 1d6+5 = 11
Sinister 1d6+8 = 9 | Rebel 1d6+4 = 10
Sinister 1d6+7 = 12 | Rebel 1d6+4 = 5

Sinister 1d6+7 = 12 | Rebel 1d6+2 = 7
Sinister 1d6+7 = 9 | Rebel 1d6+1 = 4

House Sinister wins!  Control of the Rebel Planet (14[8]F]) now belongs to House Sinister.

The Emperor declines to honor this favour.  Perhaps he can interest you in some Karats instead?

[Criptfeind]

All Armies and fleets are returned to House of Sands and the Forge.

I don't know if you need to specify this, with trade being allowed whenever, they were returned after the attack automatically per the previous contract? Unless the combat counted as the start of this turn and not the end of last turn, but I think it was confirmed that's not how it works?

[evictedSaint]

If the contract states "returned prior to the end of the turn", then you can assume it was returned after combat occurred but before the next turn started.

It requires a specific action of declaring you are reneging to reneg a contract, and you can't reneg on the same turn the contract was made, anyways.
