Turn 7: Wait, Where's The Fireworks?
I am the Emperor. My word is law.
TURNTURNTURN
The Emperor's Mood:
Fickle
The Emperor
Insanus Cancer gnaws on the roasted Equus Iuvo leg as he walks down the rows of cages. These things were
delicious."My Emperor, the tensions with the lower Houses are at an all-time high. Only through a miraculous twist of fate and careful politicking has kept all-out
war from breaking out between - "
"So this one is just a...carpet?" Insanus asked, gesturing with his drumstick at the grassbacks idly humping a dead goat.
"The grassbacks from House Radiant, my Emperor. Now, there has been a development of two major factions - "
"Boring," Insanus snorted, waving the hunk of meat dismissively. He peered into the next exhibit and frowned. "And these are just dumb-looking horses."
"Those are the Mexican Sandhoffs, my Emperor. So, the last-minute betrayal was discovered between House - "
"What's a Mexican?"
" - I...I'm not sure, my Emperor. The betray resulted in a
dramatic shift in battleplans, with a sudden negotiation for a non-interference agreement regarding - "
"The 'Amco Trapper'...huh, that's weird, the exhibit seems empty."
"We were delivered a box of eggs, my Emperor, but they disappeared before we could move them into the exhibit. It's actually a bit of a concern - "
"And this one is a weird bird? Why's the exhibit so cloudy, I can't see anything."
"The 'Ashfiend', my Emperor. The conflict has been stalled, for now, but you must immediately intervene - "
"Alloy Molluscs? What kind of zoo has molluscs? These ridgebacked what-you-call-its look interesting, though. I'd suppose they're my favorite. Glowing. Crab-like."
"My Emperor! The economic crisis resulting from a war of this magnitude will result in poverty and devestation unlike anything the Empire has ever seen before!"
"So tax the poor, then. It'll encourage those House lords to not be bankrupt."
"I...
sigh. As my Emperor commands."
House Sinister wins the creature submission! The Emperor likes your glowing zap-crabs. A
Favour has been granted. Feeling
Fickle, the Emperor also enjoyed the delicious smart-horses and grants an extra bonus
Favour to
House Harrak as the runner-up!
No one wins the bid for the planet! The Emperor has found all bids for the 17F planet to be sorely lacking, and feeling
Irritated instead donates it to a Minor House.

Excommunication.New Planet Available!1[0]A: Size 1 Refineryworld.Available for auction. Starting bid is ^10.
A tiny asteroid floating in a lagrange point near a small gas giant, this speck of rock is high in precious minerals and low in habitability. Terraforming efforts will likely involve multiple habitation buoys and extensive mining facilities. Sufficient expansion will require moving into other smaller asteroids in this lagrange point and forming a network of mining and refining facilities to fully exploit what little this system is capable of providing.
Emperor Insanus Cancer, Ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind.
