Tapper, would you want me to take 3 potshots at that destroyer in the wormhole? If you'll reimburse me 3 TG for the tactical token I'll do so.

If you do the potshots this turn, we have a deal :)


I was going to then realized that it would also be essentially sacrificing my flagship.

I'd move it but it can't go anywhere.

Morgoth we need to chat. One of your goals this round was to prevent me from scoring any points. As I don't have my home world's I can't so I need to move to take them back. I think I can do that this round if I'm not attacked anywhere else except for that poor destroyer in the alpha wormhole. Now as that isn't likely because you would be motivated to stop me the smart move would be to play take it back next round which would be for me to consolidate my fleet and take back zohbat.

Is there a deal we can reach where I leave you zohbat if you allow me to retake my homeworlds? By me taking them back this round I wouldn't have any CT for the 1 public objective and as what little resources I do have available I have to dump into tech to accomplish that goal I won't have any left to score the monument objective. You would gain tech by blowing up some of my fighters and you can retreat to the asteroid field with all your ships and most of your infantry.

Either way I would get my home world back next round needing 3 points to win but only having access to scoring 1 or 2 max.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Not an issue :) Worst case scenario, I have more battles to fight against Blend.

Morgoth has said he's planning to play leadership and has a provisional in. Khell has said he's playing diplomacy (dunno if he has a provisional in, I hope so!)

So tapper on deck, then twelve presumably waiting on negotiations from morgoth then Nico. I've put in my provisional, but I don't expect much action until Monday unfortunately.

Tapper where are you planning on sending the speaker token? Are you getting rid of any of the current slate of agendas?

What's a provisional?

It’s a style of small wooden ships that saw extensive use during the american revolution. Many credit for being the deciding factor in the rebels quick reactions to British movements.

Any thoughts on what I proposed earlier?

So by building a pds you are not interested in allowing me to get my home world back this round?

Initiate 2:2 with Tapper and 1:1 with Morgoth


Neither of these players have any commodities and I assume they aren't willing to trade you tgs for free? What's going on here?

Morgoth,




Any trade we do to allow me to take my homeworlds back this round have to meet these 2 criteria by me. If these are unacceptable please let me know. First you cannot attack me anywhere until after I move to retake my home worlds and 2 when I do attack you, you must retreat with all your troops. If you are unable to due so because of capacity limitations you leave what you can't take on Jol (the planet without the pds) so I can bombard whatever remains. Please let me know what you require of me.

I have no idea why he'd agree to this to be honest. You are offering him the stick without any carrot. What benefit does he have?

Well, he's asking Morgoth what he wants in return, which I imagine would be quite substantial to be more advantageous than the points leader and his main rival having to focus on taking back their homeworld in the next round.
