Twelve, thank you ever so much. The only reason for me to hesitate going to visit my good friend Blend is now removed. I just couldn't really afford the steady property tax that gets levied on your side of the universe. Now, with your property tax removal service that is no longer an issue for me.

Thanks for clarification Tapper!

You're welcome!
I wish FFG had put it with the Learn to Play rules, as it deals with so many little rules and side rules... I understand why it is a different document in the box, but as PDF, there's no reason to not include it all in one.


so..care to share that pdf with the rest of us who live in near ignorance of this game?

Sigh, I hate action cards and their randomness. You just can't plan for them, so what are you supposed to do? And I never even saw that card among the list of ACs.

This round has been a complete bust.

Tapper, I can return the fleet to my systems next round, or you can just straight up destroy them. Screw those failures.


To be fair you also used an AC to flee my fleet and wreak havoc on me later.


Silly Morgoth. Expecting a Sol politician to be 'fair' and not a hypocrite? It's like you live somewhere else.

High Leader Kkim, we have a request of thee: please don't do anything aggressive with Ghostly portable A wormhole.


The Naalu fully understand the desire and the need for retribution. So much so that we ask a boon: let us be your avenging sword this time.


Yeah, that Carrier with the soldiers was going somewhere :lol:


Well, mostly they were there cause I can't land them when using the logistics card. And a couple of ships in my wormhole bordering system was worth feeding some deadhead soldiers for awhile, But then I noticed that portable asshole that Tatts provided you with...

Heh. Never mind. You have a property tax removal service. The Sardakk have a feline removal service...


Edit: 2 Dreadnaught's, 2 carriers, 1 cruiser, 4 fighters. Make that a 'feline replacement service'

A suggestion for next game: When ACs run out, they run out. No used ones getting shuffled back in.


I have a different idea. Let's make some of our own!!

Suggestion 1: Secret Summit / Play as an action / Choose one other player. You and that player may open a PM (monitored by the ModGod) that must be closed before your next turn.
Edit:
Suggestion 1: Secret Summit / Play as an action / Choose any other player. The ModGod will open a PM between the two players which will be closed at the start of the initiating player’s next turn.

That was another development i did not see coming. 4 main fleets tightly knit.

Yeah. Had I realized that Tapper was going to shut that door so effectively I would have moved my ships into the nebula; great place for me to park a reaction force.

Tapper What is your long term plan for those ships? Like Morgoth said that is a lot of main fleets in such a tightly clumped portion of the map.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Also like to mention that Tapper is likely to score 4 VP this round. with a possibility of gaining 3 to 4 the next round with such a large collection of planets. And no one other than me has mentioned that he is a threat to win the game.

Gnaw if any of Tappers planets can help you score a secret objective now might be the time to take them.

Anyone have an action card that will help me take Tapper off Lodor? I have my trade agreement available if you do.

I have a great one that would help Tapper keep it. Don’t suppose you’d be willing to transfer it to him?

Going for a movie with my wife for her birthday, so this is me sneaking in an answer from the Gents' toilet and later, when she went.

First thing, thanks to D'rek for resolution, that went better than I hoped.

@ Morgoth: this move has been on the cards as a plan B for 2 turns, but the wormhole directive derailed last turn's attempt and Tatts made plan A invalid.

@ Twelve: the reasons:
A. I wanted a little bit more production, and Abyz-Fria and Moll Primus were blocked off. I don't want to look at my neighbours property either considering we went along so nicely so far.
B. It closes off the non-wandering side of the Alpha-wormhole, at a time when Blend parked half his fleet in a remote corner of the board.
C. I plan to stay with something that can match Blend's fleets, but nothing more. I am not looking for war with you or IH and I am not even looking at Thibah for expansion.

Do you have a secret life that you keep hidden from your significant other? Do you engage in behaviors relating to that secret life at any opportune moment? Do you devote great periods of time and attention to that secret life?
If so, you might have a problem! Call 1-800-GAMEADDICT to speak with a helping hand today!
