This Imperium Life is LONG overdue. We’ve been promising a collection of stories about salty behavior for a while now, and we finally have enough to make a show out of them. There’s a little bit of sweet mixed in, but it certainly doesn’t lessen the flavor of the salt contained within. These are YOUR stories, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

We have a special treat this week! Space Kitty James Bocks would like to present to you a discussion on content creation in the Twilight Imperium community. We discuss how Matt, Hunter, and James have gone about creating things in the past, and James makes many impassioned speeches to convince YOU to get out there and make something! So don’t sit there and let James down! Makes something, already! Also, there is a brief errata on last week’s Semifinals updates.

Today we celebrate with SCPT’s first Space Kitty. JattaPake made a name for himself in the community early on and he continues to be one of the funniest and kindest people out there. For his Space Kitty episode, we all decided to break down an hold forum post of his called The Metagame List. It’s a list that covers all of the behaviors that one might see above the table and outside of standard tactics. It’s a hilarious conversation and is followed up by some quick errata for last week’s episode about the Semifinals map.

The Prelims are over! 18 games on one map in 7 weeks, and we’re finally ready to move on. Today, we cover the last five games as well as an overview of the statistics of the Prelims overall! After breaking down our thoughts, we go IN DEPTH on the new map for the second round of the tournament. It’s a very different kind of map than the Prelims map and expects a lot more out of its players.

We seem to be in an alternating pattern, with the large volume of tournament games necessitating another update-filled episode. This week, details of games 8-13 are all scrunched together, hopefully offering more insight in what seems to lead to the most success in our tournament structure. After the breakdowns is errata from last weeks Action Cards ranking!
