Gnaw if you want to buy my racial PN and cut d'rek off from further access to you, you can always buy my PN. Your trade PN for that?

Khell current has it. But I wouldn’t be averse to that when I get it back.

Did you just... lock yourself in your homeworld on turn 1?
I had 1 tactical action, no action cards that I can use to delay, a strategy card that isn't useful until after I already exhaust my only planet and no fewer than 3 fleets owned by players that would pounce and destroyed me the moment I left the safety of that one planet. What did you expect me to do?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

So (regardless of what I'm actually planning to do), you thought I was opening up another front on Gnaw's other side and going for his Homeworld, putting him in a situation where he can't use Nullification Field on both fronts. And then you immediately threw that away. You want me to go take his homeworld, and then you made it immediately possible for him to perfectly block such a move with no repercussions. Good plan...?

I'm not. Gnaw will probably pop his racial tech and you don't actually go anywhere. And if you do happen to take his home world down the line I'd give you my sftt as soon as I could after you took it and you can do whatever you want after as it has no bearing on actually claiming my card. But thought I would throw my thoughts on that particular result in case you wanted to fulfill the spirit of the request beyond the letter of it.
Why in hell would I pop my racial tech? Now I’ve got a super dreadnought blocking that wormhole. And all it costs me is a destroyer??
You aren't a big picture guy are you?

If I pop my racial tech on that, her next move is to bring another super dreadnaught using gravity drive to my homeworld. I prefer the devil to be in the wormhole.

What? I thought she brought her whole fleet to the alpha wormhole. Did she only bring 1 dread?

Okay. I didn't read your post very carefully. I thought you brought your whole fleet through not just 1 dread. It looked like you were setting yourself up for next round.
And even if you were thinking of going for his homeworld I would have played my hand the same. I didn't have the firepower to Attack Gnaw without more ships.

Game map updated to the end of Twelve's turn!
Twelve - I looked it up, and given that Space Cannon Offense does not require Gnaw to put a token on Winnu, he DOES, unfortunately, get to fire on your dreads.

Blend can you please double check/confirm Nom's VP? We thought he scored a PO in status phase and therefore would've also been at 6 for the agenda so should be at 7???

I went through all his posts and he has scored all tier 1 public objectives except lead from the front. So yes he is at 7 total points too.

She's actually probably going to take ensapta or saudor in order to score the 4 planets of the same type VP. She wouldn't be able to reach your homeworld as you have ships in the way.
Edit well she would now you've not blocked her access to it
