Well, Morgoth is either going to pass or guerilla strike my other hexes, and I am going to respond to that, so it shouldn't be too hard for SS, Tapper and onwards to put provisionals in if they want to.

I think he should guerrilla strike Tatts. The way the cloak works you only have 1 of his ships pinned correct? So if he moves that, then he will only have one of yours pinned, so you can move away. Next turn rinse and repeat. Make a deal with Morgy that you'll not bother him anymore as long as he goes after Tatts. He lets you keep that system this round and maybe next round, but it eventually returns to him.

Tatts is going to be otherwise occupied the remainder of this round.

I'm open to lots of possibilities. But Morgoth doesn't seem to ever be online at the same time as me to discuss...

Tapper: Blend needs a replacement player for somebody who just bailed on the game.

I'll play two roles!

Not entirely undefended. I left myself an action and materials to plop down a couple of starbases if needed.

I had considered at this point proposing to Morgy and you some sort of back-off-and-I'll-attack-the-centre instead plan, but it wouldn't work unfortunately.

I am not going to oppose you hitting Twelve. I will be able to join in, two round from now. Alas, Gnaw and I are playing at the moment.

And sadly, you pinned your dread, so you can't take advantage of Twelve's opening. I tried to tell you....

A lot of sad things are going to happen today. At least one of them to you.

Oh, you can still propose to Morgy that you have other things to do if he should allow you to move your ships. Cloaking device.

Don't worry small Fry. D'rek is currently the player I'm most worried about followed by Tapper, Gnaw (because I think I know what Gnaw has in store for Tatts), Tatts(If he somehow survives Gnaws plan), CF, Morgoth, Then you and finally SS.

Oh yes, I see. I see now. Instead of trying to defend your homeworld you may try to attack me. Thank you for the heads up. Needs must I can build to counter you, you have the unfortunate option of showing your hand first. I can upgrade my interceptor and build to counter, or just build a dread and have low odds this coming round.

Gnaw you are going to ruin my carefully laid plans aren't you :p

At most you can build 2 or 3 ships. None of which will be able to take a hex. Firstly you will have to build. Say 3 ships all interceptors in your home world. Then you would have to move 3 out, pinning one in vega with my dread and say 2 in my homeworld. Against that little interceptor. 2 versus one. Which will be in my favour at least 55%.

For you to be a little pain in my ass you'd lose all your materials, and I will pound you next round. I thought your best option was to save the materials, then come at me in force tomorrow/next round.

You cannot build any more cruisers because they are all on the board. A dread won't be optional because I' beat that. You don't have enough moves to move the 2 cruiser and build and then move whatever you build. Unless you truly bankrupt yourself. When you could have a shot at winning.
