There's a rules gently caress-up in the video, let's consider it my personal variant of the lateral move. Read the rules below for the actual picture.

I think a good first move would be to move G5 somewhere, maybe connecting to G1 or G3, to open up the board a bit.

I'm assuming diagonals can't wrap like laterals. (Because that would make GZ -> O6 a winning move) G5 -> O6 seems like a decent open? IDK EDIT: SelenicMartian, can we establish that if time is up and no formal decision is made just take the last legal move suggested in the thread? Just to avoid stalling out? Is the rest of the team OK with that?

I think we might be better moving G5 somewhere that isn’t so easy to eliminate. I wanna try a tactic of eliminating and cutting off cubes. Edit: An extremely aggressive move might be GY O5? Then no matter their move we’ll have another orange cube to jump onto, capturing one and being in position to take another. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:32 on May 13, 2020 |

What are their options here? They could try to mirror us and grab G5, in which case we control the pace of the whole game. There's no cubes they can move, so I think we've forced them to mimic us, or else to put us in position for an easy win? IDK. OY -> O1 would be an option, an attempt to bait us into capturing O4 and losing on the moveback? Edit: OZ -> G4 would be interesting. We'd have to be careful about how we respond to keep in position but also keep them from decimating our cubes.

This is the answer you were expecting, right? OZ -> G1

I need to check the set up video again when I'm off work, but if we moved G4 to somewhere else, me should be able to strand OZ.

WAIT. G5 onto G4’s north face strands OY AND protects G4 from being captured. You can’t capture a cube that’s underneath another cube!

If we move G4 to G5, can't they just move OZ to O6 to eliminate G1? Lateral moves aren't limited to the same plane.

No, no, EC is right. I think we need to decide if we're going for cubes or positioning here.

So, we've got a bit over twelve hours, but G4 -> G5 is our current default until we come up with something better?

They basically have to move O6 at this point right? Anywhere they can move OY I think we can win.

Oh right there’s a DOME under that cube.  Edit: Yep! They HAVE to move O6 now or it’s game. O6 onto G1 frees their pawn, so that might be the play. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 16:29 on May 15, 2020 |

Technically they could safely move OY to O1, but I can't imagine they'd want to get both their scepters trapped. Do we know where the dome on O3 is? I assume it's pointed up.
