Tatts, take all the time you need, as long as you like. I won't hassle you or constantly tell you it's your turn. I hope that everyone can learn from my example and treat others the same way :D

Gnaw what's your plans now regarding Twelve? You planning to leave him alone?

Just going to point out that once next round starts he'll be able to build more ships as well and he's put himself into quite a strong position defensively. He'll only get stronger.


I know. I'm only 60 something with the ships he has now. Once he builds off the Logistics secondary....

Fucking D'rek.


Let's break it down. Right now he has an army built but no resources to rebuild. So through a war of attrition he'd eventually lose but that means taking risks and inviting others to encroach on our territories. So it's decision time. Let him live, make his way to Mec Rex with that scary army or dwindle him down into pulp. D'rek/Tapper/Morgoth/IH/Nom are all benefiting from us engaging Twelve.


I do seem to remember saying that this course of action would sink both of our games all the way back in round 2. It's frustrating it's taken you both this long to figure it out.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Formidable? I have not once been what one would call formidable all game. All it took was that damn flagship of Gnaw's to neuter me.

Now delete all planning before Twelve sees :D

Just imagine he got Mec Rex. Tough nut.

Except then my home world would have been more vulnerable and easier to take. Just like D'rek's looks right now.

And with Gnaw having only 4 ships can still wipe me out because of his tech advantage. Bigger doesn't mean better. Just look at me last game.

@D'rek Just in case you missed it.

D'rek if you want the TG's from PB then you'll have to play Leadership on your next turn otherwise I'll be passing.

Thanks.

D'rek, the likelihood that you play Leadership next turn?

Tatts, Gnaw, I'm a reasonable guy. If you allow me to take back Everra, the Meer system and vacate thiabah (sp?) I won't attack either one of you the rest of the game.

Then you won't have to worry about rebuilding fleets and instead use them to try and win the game. Those 3 systems would have been naturally Winnu systems anyway and it keeps a reasonable distance between my home world and your ships. I would also like your ceasefire as additional assurance of you good intentions.

I don't want to continue to hold the game up. I'm going to assume D'rek will play Leadership on her next turn. Which is a bit of a gamble.

She said she was in the bush camping this past weekend, so she probably just hasn't had a chance to sit down and actually look at the game since getting back - I expect she'll be around later today at some point, but no promises!

Don't be sorry. It's Tatts fault for still trying to wipe me out instead of trying to go for intimidate council or lead from the front or galvanize the people.

I still am unsure how tatts and gnaw intend to actually win the game with this strategy. Or even compete. Tatts especially could easily have been challenging for the lead with his current setup.

I will be passing when it comes back round to me. Gnaw if you still want to do the trade of my racial PN for your trade PN with you using it on the turn you get it just include the trade in your post.
