Quick reminder you can’t do aggressive actions on friendly characters or PCs as a rule. There’s exceptions, but 690, 615, :stab: 525 :hug:, etc are not allowed normally. Check the rules for the exceptions, and treat these as exceptions. Exceptions is the word of the day here… ::)
I’ve had to spend a couple of days recently checking turnsheets and the like and to say it’s tedious is like saying that pulling teeth is painful. (Well alliteration was never my strong point). :eek:

Also you can send a diplo with your FIRST turn, some players miss this , but it can be key to getting some communication going.
30 word diplo on turn 1,6,11,16 etc Gunboat rules version 11.
Okey-dokey - oh yeah, Happy New Year and especial thanks to the player who kindly sent us a care package - yum…
