I want Quann, I don't necessarily want to enter war with you. Leave peacefully, what can I offer as reparation?


And what strategy card are you taking oh speaker?


Leadership, done.

Tatts , I will offer my support to Sol on this one.

I would much rather you focus your energy towards 12.



I have to go through a Wormhole this turn, I'm not attacking You, Blend, Tapper or Gnaw. By taking Quann, Morgoth can focus on Mec Rex or even Twelve.

I'll have more options from Quann when I move the wormhole next status.

When can you place your wormhole? If you could place it during this round then we could both have a pop at Twelve.



Save yourself the trouble of failing where Morgoth also failed. You will never take a planet off me.

However, you don't have to. As long as there are no other ships there, you can place your wormhole. Doesn't say anything about ground forces. I *may* be willing to let you fly around as long as you go away again quick fast and don't bother trying to invade.

Can't believe you people just left the Imperial strategy there for Khell.

You took politics and I’m not speaker. Sweet.

Are we still working with Tapper’s plan?

I asked last round already for an offer to take it. No responses at all.

Someone as fond of deals as you are shouldn't expect us (well, speaking for myself here) to take a burden for nought.

I mean, he's in the lead right now, why should it fall on someone in second to last place to stop him from winning? I figured you'd want to stop him from getting more points, but to each their own I guess.

Quantum Datahub Node -- At the end of the strategy phase, you may spend 1 token from your strategy pool and give another player 3 of your trade goods. If you do, give 1 of your strategy cards to that player, and take 1 of his strategy cards.

Yeah, I'm aware that exists - problem is that I haven't researched it yet, and still need at least one more yellow tech before I can consider researching it. Given the current volatility of the board, it's not in my top 5 actions for this round.

I don't understand this part (probably because I don't get how Creuss works). What would you plan to do when you got to Quann?

To reiterate though, you will not be taking the actual planet under any circumstances. I will Orbital Drop it to shit to make sure it doesn't happen.

Crazy how everyone only thinks about themselves, isn't it? Weird that.

But maybe I won't take Imperial.

Pick your card before you disappear for the week.

Funny you should say that to me, because guess who you share that second to last spot with? :)

I would have been perfectly fine with taking Imperial if the whole board had thrown together an offer of, say, a combined 3 TG + a one-use PN + no piracy + no card steal.

Multiple turns in a row, I would get fed up with it, but for a turn, two tops? Acceptable.

It doesn't break the bank for anyone, most abilities wouldn't target me anyway and it would create a precedence that would also see me chip in if the shoe is on the other foot.

It would be fun if people like IH and Nico could do a proper update in the Game Thread so that we can actually see where they stand in terms of everything.
