Also you might want to give khell and i a free refresh so you can use our trade PNs.

Hmm we will see, not sure what your motive is.. maybe I always wanted this PN.

Gnaw, I thought trade routes is worth only 1 VP not 2

You should give me one too as I have given you 2 free refreshes this game as well. Plus I lose those commodities anyway so I won't get any use out of them anyway.

Nevermind, 1 vp for trade routes and 1 for imperial and having Rex. The way you posted looks like you gained 2 just for trade routes.

Morgoth, hurry up and kick the shit out of me already. This waiting feels like extra punishment.

Gnaw coming round the outside towards the finish line.

Not likely. My one chance that I saw was for the new PO to be one I could score immediately. Every way I look I come up 1 vp short to be able to have a tie and win via initiative order.
The reason Twelve wants my racial PN is due to that initiative order win.

[D'rek]

Just remember we're playing to 11VP, not 10.

Looking at the current scores (especially Twelve having already fulfilled 3 SOs), it is more likely (but not assured) that the game will end next round, not this one.

No I wanted it so I have a shot at Morgoths before he takes my homeworld. I'm lucky to score 1 point this round. Now my only hope is to convince him to attack you in Rex so he can grab imperial for the vp and maybe win.

On my phone, ill pretty it up tomorrow

Activate Jol Nar - move flagship and both drednaughts pluss all but one gf, also move three cruisers and the fighter from the asteroid belt (one picking up the eight gf). Invade both planets.

*popcorn*

[Morgoth]

Sorry, busy night.

@ Twelve:

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to move ships out of your homeworld last round?

I think you are currently the most likely person to win (your initiative bonus, the fact you own rex plus the chance your deal with tapper and morgoth for the speaker token) makes you the person with the most paths to victory assuming an objective you can score is drawn.

Yeah I was really surprised at this too.

[Khellendros]

I was tempted to take Zohbat-Mellon just now after Morgoth had vacated it, but I decided to play it more conservatively. Still, would have been fun

Yeah. If...
If I'm allowed to keep Rex.
If Tapper gives me the speaker token instead of himself.
If the right objective pops up.

That's about two too many 'ifs'.

Edit: and, by the way, I think that only gets me to 10 anyways...

Me as well. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the plan was, but I couldn’t see anything concrete.

I was thinking I would go before morgoth and use my ships in the attack. Didn't think Gnaw would turn down my trade offer. Still shocked he did. 8 trade goods, tapper's racial pn, both my political secrets and ceasefire pns and me vacating a system for easy conquer. Dumbfounded doesn't do it justice.

So unless you and Tapper and anyone else that can hit Morgoth this round, do so, he is going to win. I likely can't score points as I won't control my homeworlds and his troops are scary good.

I would have attacked you then. I still will try and hit Morgoth. Have to at least try and regain my home world system.
