Hmmmm, when I traded you that card Blend and said it was obvious where you would use it, I guess I was wtong. It wasn't obvious. Did not expect that. Just be warned my pds provisional for that system is to fire on any ships within range with the possible exception of Khells. So don't be surprised if you get a couple pot shots sent your way when you move there.


Why would you shoot at me? I've done nothing to threaten you, and I'm helping to keep Khell in check.

Plus you can't really blame me for you not realizing what I was planning to do. If I went after IH, I'd have both him and Nico on my ass, this way I don't go after either, nor do I go after you, AND I help keep Khell in line by adding pressure to his already thinning lines.

If you think about it, this helps you as well.

By having one of my fleets on that end of the wormhole, it means that people like Tapper or Tatts will have to go through me to get at your back end. Makes it a lot less likely you'll be dealing with that on top of whatever you'll be dealing with on your front lines.

Plus, the attack on me will turn into a backside attack on you when you overtake me in VPs.

Took me a bit to find Sakulag. That’s evil. I applaud it.


It's obvious. I said to D'rek that's what he would do.

I think that would give him the planets he needs for Expanded Borders, and no PDS means he can bombard, too.

Tatts, you’re up. I can’t see how waiting on that fight to resolve affects anything you wanna do?

That isn't entirely accurate. I was motivated to trade you that card because you were seriously entertaining doing just that. Plus if you move your fleet there I will have your fleet on my West with IH, Nico and Morgoth on my East and South with Tatts able to go wherever the hell he wants to go. The board has been very clear that they are considering me a serious threat to win the game and with you planting a fleet in range of a relatively undefended territory or within shot of my homeland after you publicly stated that you will likely have to turn on me at some point you can understand I'm not okay with it.

I don’t know what Blend’s prayers were. Mine translate to “Lazar has the nicest laundry baskets full of fresh, warm laundry in the galaxy, FYI.”

You had me to help you with Nico and that was my main focus for this round, to neutralize the Pirates, though him grabbing Diplomacy really messes those plans up and IH was already expecting you to attack him so you can't really be surprised if he does make a move but I think IH is a logical enough player to put aside your failed attempt to attack him for a chance that you both can make moves that would slow me and down have a chance at the win. He even said as much.

My firing on any ships that enter that system is really in my long term best interests regardless of who it is.

My Hacan goddess is more obsessed with chasing the Hacan god next door off the fence than she is with answering my pleads to please come home.

I'm not saying you can't go there and you may be right that it will make other's less interested in doing the same just don't expect a positive response from me. But it still doesn't change the fact that I will be flanked from all sides. I'm just not okay with that.

I have to actually overtake you in points first and even in second place I'm still 2 VP behind you and if it's looking like I can't I will be the one to be attacking you instead (If I still have ships to do that anyway).

I see that you have posted the rest of you move. At worst you lose 1 fighter so it's not like I'm going to do all that much anyway.
