Twelve, how do you feel about a battle royale for your homeworld? I'm considering building shellworld there. By my count it would be a 17 pt swing hex though so not sure whether I'll risk it. Thoughts gnaw tatts?

Well before I royally screwed up and lost my dread. my plans were to let you have my homeworld while I used my clocking device and spam my interceptors so I could take the two hexes on the other side of it but sure why not. But I'm not sure what kind of battle royale it will be when you can out ship and hull me.

Also why aren't you listening to me with my strategy advice in Dip. You'd have taken RUM this fall if you had. Now me calling EM an idiot is making me look like the idiot. You should have been able to slowly march through him but now it's looking a lot more iffy.

[Imperial Historian]

I've been basing my moves to counter what I would do in em/gnaws situation. I didn't do what you suggested, because if em and gnaw did what I thought they would they would I'd have lost rum anyway. Now i think i have a shot at keeping it. I've proved terrible at guessing there intentions anyway, maybe I'm over thinking things.

[Imperial Historian]

I figured that is still your strategy, we will see what next round brings. Since I expect drek to spawn a galaxy destroying fleet it may well be irrelevant.

[Khellendros]

Keep passing, no reactions here.


(Were you waiting for that?).

[Gnaw]

Sorta. Now we're waiting for Tapper's reaction.

Morgoth, Tatts, and D'rek are the only ones who haven't passed.

I'll probably not do any reactions.

I can't submit my next action until I see what Morgoth and Tatts are doing

Yeah he had you by the balls and he let you off the hook. I see a draw in the future at this rate.

Did Tatts leave a provisional? If not, isn't he in Turkey or something and we'll have to wait a while?
