And just to be clear Gnaw, I'm very upset with you moving the wormhole token there. If you had moved it somewhere out of my territory it'd be a simple matter of fine, no biggie, I'll leave you alone now that I have no access anyway. But since you moved it there, there will be grave retribution. I'm sure you're planning to use Silence of Space and swipe those planets for a turn or something like that, but I'll retake those within a turn and I see no reason to stop the movement there. You think you'll have a war sun next round? You won't.

Last time you spoke to me you made it quite clear that you don't consider me a friend.

Then when we were parlaying a deal you abandoned it halfway through to sell your WH generator PN to Gnaw so he could move it somewhere in my territory to better attack me.

So... what reason have you given me to respect Creuss territorial sovereignty again?

I very much doubt Gnaw is planning anything other than "attack Twelve, repeat ad nauseam."

Well then he really had no reason to place the WH token there, did he?

Perhaps he thought it would be too much out of your way to get to him through there? Perhaps he hopes it makes you more vulnerable to others so that you don't go through with whatever you were initially planning? In either case, I don't see Gnaw himself hopping through there.

I think Gnaw thinks he's going to build a war sun next round and that it will magically solve all his problems.

Well the options are we play nice and I remove one of the wormholes from your system and we both keep out sftt, or I go screw support for the throne and move through the wormholes gnaw has nicely provided to hit your fleet, and you'll lose yours as well when you inevitably have to attack me back. Fighting Creuss in a wormhole is never a good idea.

So up to you, keep things neutral or get into a war, and I assure you taking malice will inevitably result in me doing everything in my power to screw you over.

Yes, I agree. I'd really have liked for you to play nice the several times already that you've opted not to.

Give me back Mansa 3. Give me your racial PN so you can't keep provoking other players into attacking me with it. Do that and I won't invade Mallice.

If not? Then fine, throw your fleet into a pointless bloodbath with mine. Lose your SFTT VP instead of keeping up with the other two leading players. Leave your territory completely exposed to other players. It would be a stupid decision that will remove any chance of you winning, but I'm not afraid of your weasely little ability to produce 1 free hit in a wormhole system :D Bring it on.

Haha, for once I'm not involved in the spats and you seek to pull me in :D On the one hand, I don't fancy getting entangled in yours/D'rek's/Gnaws machinations and having you all fight a proxy war through me. On the other hand, it is true that my fleets are at somewhat of a loose end at the moment.

Basically, I'll either stay neutral in this or fall on the side of whoever pays me the most/is the most scary in their threats.

Naw naw naw Khell you can't offer it up to one side like that! If you want to be a true black-hearted mercenary you offer to do BOTH!

If IH moves his fleet to Mallice or into my empire you ask me to pay you to attack the exposed Bereg/Lirta again (or Quann, or Lodd Eru... or all of them in one round :p ). And then if my forces are moved to defend/retaliate against IH's attack you also get IH to pay your to move the nebula fleet against Tura Nora or Arnor/Lor.

I know, sorry. I ended up needing the strategic CT so couldn't do the racial thing, either.

Hey Tapper, I've got a few TGs burning a hole in my space pocket. Can I buy your racial PN for 1 TG? I'll use it right away, and you have no strategic CTs so it won't cost you anything for me to use.

You're annoyed with me?? Really?? You stole my strategy card and attacked me. That's your idea of playing nice?

I put the wormhole there cause it's safely out of the way there. And the heartburn it's obviously causing you makes me smile.

Edit: and to attack you, I’d first have to attack IH’s destroyer. That would be incredibly dumb.
