IH, you could always take Gnaws home world or the Meer system. That would help you CT problem. I'd gladly help put him in a vice. He is going to throw away 19 production worth of ships so he will be very vulnerable.

Speaking of Morgoth I take it he left no provisional? Thinking he will have to use Politics but maybe he has an action card he wants to use to stall.

Yeah morgoth is probably going to win, especially if the two of us get into a fight, but you and khell have made it nigh impossible to do anything about it even if I wanted to. And whilst I agree morgoth attacked you unprovoked, stretching yourself to move into systems that players have already said I'm going to move there is pretty much the definition of provoking a fight.

And cough plagued me first cough

D'rek has a real knack for making aggressive actions and then claiming self-defence

He's already used Politics.

Glad it's not just me that's noticed that. I'm not sure pissing off half the board is a winning strategy but she seems to be in a decent position so far.

Who are you kidding? I'm winning (lowest score wins right?)

[twelve]

Well pissing off no one didn't work so well for me and D'rek is in good position to grab a number of 2 pt VPs so maybe there is something to that strategy.

Also khell if d'rek does attack mallice, fancy a free trip to starpoint?

Haha, for once I'm not involved in the spats and you seek to pull me in 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 ). 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.

***takes notes vigorously***

Yep definitely what you should do khell. I'd make sure you don't leave yourself vulnerable to d'rek though before she attacks you in self defence again.

She's clearly building up for war suns and with her racial ability is the most likely to be able to bombard you off rex.

And if I was paying you it would be by giving you the ability to get your ships from the nebula into a nice 2 planet system with lots of expansion potential right next to an asteroid belt.

Also nom did you deliberately not loot d'rek on her last trade or did you just forget you could?

Gnaw and Twelve - please revise your CT counts in your most recent posts.

Gnaw - I have you at 1/4/1.
Twelve - I have you at 0/7/0.

Please let me know if I'm wrong!

You are correct. I've updated my post with the correct amount.

Thanks Twelve!


Game map has been updated to the end of Twelve's turn (with what I have for Gnaw's CTs rather than what's in his post).

Well that could have gone better.

Tatts, there's a law we're to vote for come the political phase that you'll get a real kick out of I think. But it means nothing to me now that D'rek removed my poor little fleet. So, in return for two tgs now, I will not vote against you.

alternatively

Gnaw, there's a law we're to vote for come the political phase where one of the results will be disastrous for you but quite amusing for me now that my fleet is gone. In return for 2 tgs now I will not vote against you.

Anything that affects me badly can be quashed by me, and Gnaw has a similar ability.

It doesn't effect you badly. You are the only player whom will suffer no negative effect for either for or against. Gnaw will suffer greatly from one effect, but benefit from the other.
