IoD menace makes me want to break something. I should not have to spend 2 hours trying to win this levl 8 dip quest, stopping to study cards, search the internet, etc. Seeing this old thread I had to comment: I have tried sapping his green, using the -10 to both players card, not giving any green, waiting multiple turns, and it doesn't work. The above old post mentions he doesn't have any card that gives him green. THIS IS INCORRECT! He has a card that gives +10 green to himself and -10 green to you. He also has a -10 to all of yours that is on a 3-3 timer. This is annoying the crap out of me! I can't see any cards that give me a chance of moving forward without giving him some sort of non-green.
heh won... I ignored worrying about giving him influnce and loaded up a couple no cost influence cards with anywhere from 1-3 reuse. I had a couple assertions and evaluations, used my racial 1-2 timer card if I got enough (4) to use it, or other assertions that had a cost but still gave him something if I got the right cost.
