Today is a day to unwind a little. We’ve learned a lot during this process of hosting a tournament and we wanted to share it with you. In this episode you’ll find our overview of what surprised us, what we expected, and what we hope to do going forward.   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

And so another chapter is completed. The Patreon Tournament is over and we have a champion. Today’s episode is all the details behind that player’s victory. There is some non-spoiler stuff up at the top if you want to listen a bit before you watch, but from then on out, we break down the entirety of the game, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRzUStXyiU8 Music provided by Ben Prunty.

The Patreon Tournament FINALS are this Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 2:30pm CDT! And before you join us LIVE (at twitch.tv/spacecatspeaceturtles) to watch, you MUST listen to this episode! Today we’re talking to all 6 finalists and getting a better idea of how they approach each game of Twilight Imperium. Matt and Hunter also analyze what they believe victory and defeat looks like for each player. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com

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.   To see James’ videos, visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVq7LQFyLC0p-M4EoUasoWA Music provided by Ben Prunty.

The Semifinals are OVER and we now know three of the players that will be in the Championship game of our tournament! This episode details the stories of each of their victories and some analysis of the games all of these top contenders played. Afterwards, a brief errata about our Knockout Map Analysis, which includes details on our Five-Player Drafting Method. Stick around to the end as well for some fun business about a mouse...

The Semifinals for the tournament aren’t even over yet, but we may not have a better opportunity to do some in depth analysis of the Knockout round map. To check out the map while you listen, visit this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/twilightimperium/comments/ax7w23/scpt_patreon_tourney_knockout_map_5_player/ After the analysis is some errata from last week’s Metagame List with JattaPake.   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

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. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

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. To see it, visit this link!   Music provided by Ben Prunty.
