If you can move them through into Twelves territory in a single go I may consider it - but I have to consider first IF facilitating you is worth two of my reactions (move away, move back).

It's always wise to be cautious. You can be a braggard while also doing the little things that will help ensure your victory. Unlike you, Tatts, where you blatantly abandon your people in a futile attempt to unseat me for not your own gain but that of your enemies.

tsk, tsk, tsk.

For shame.

For shame.

My people are behind me, they shout for WAR! I gave them War against the Terran union but it wasn't enough. It saw their decimation, their eventual starvation and destruction. I gave my people battles against the Orion Hedgemony. I expanded my empire across half a board. Collecting Artifacts and researching advanced weaponry. My people still ask for WAR and all I want is peace. So I made my peace with the People of Orion and I made my PACT with my People. We will die, we will suffer BUT we will, go out, in a Blaze of Glory!

TO WAR!!!

It's for the greater good - they will actually have much better healthcare, governance and other services once they're systems have been integrated into Orion rule.

Socialism never works. Your government would colapse when you finally run out of other peoples money. But it's a good thing for your and Tatts people that you will not win the ultimate rule and my glorious and magnificent culture will be spread amoung the cosmos so even you wretched creatures can finally experience the wonders of being part of the Eridani empire.

Sounds like the Lyra. And we all know what happened to them...

I don't really get why you'd have to move back this round....

Anyways, I can either move both ships onto your warp portal hex, and then move them into twelve's territories on my next go - OR I can move one ship all the way through, and then move the other ship all the way through on my next go.

Either way I would not move them in this go around in order to let you move your ship out of the way first, if you agree to do that.

Ah, but the Lyra, for all their supposed enlightenment, they couldn't forsee their impending demise. We Eridani see the looming threat to our rule and have the technology and funds to provide a proper defense to our way of life.

Khell, if you're not moving those two ships this turn would you do whatever else it is that you're going to do?

Or you can move both of them to CF's warp portal hex this turn. That would allow you to move both of them through Tappers hex in one move.

Solution!

Didn't CF say he needed the warp portal clear for further transgressions against SS?

I guess you should just turn your ships around Khell. Or better yet start taking some of CF's better point hexes. You still have a shot at winning. Go for it!!!!

I do need the warp portal clear at some point, but one of my moves needs to be a repositioning move before heading through the WP anyway. I could work around it if there's no other choice, but I'd rather it wasn't blocked this turn. Tapper, he's going for Twelve...don't worry about it. Nothing to be gained for him by capping a poorly-positioned 2VP hex at this point in the game.

Meh. At this point we've already lost the opportunity to get a full turn done today.

So Morgoth if you really want to screw D'rek over would you mind having the round go clockwise for Play order? Otherwise there is a slight possibility that she may be able to pass me in points. Especially since Tatts is gift wrapping his hexes to her just so I don't win. I took a preliminary look at what she can gain and it might actually be enough. I am assuming that you prefer anyone else to winning other than D'rek of course.

With this assistance your race will be placed in a position of honor. The title of Exiles will be forever removed and your people will enjoy all the pleasures and wealth the great Eridani empire have to offer. The choice is yours.

I do prefer to see Orion fall short, it is true

Especially since D'rek made it so I couldn't take tatts' homeworld.

Well, at least I'll have no choice but to remain his only loyal ally.
