OR, you could open a past westwards, or to the beta wormhole, and Khell could go rejoin/flank near his Arniam/Meer forces, plus he'd actually have a reasonable chance of taking a homeworld over there and actually scoring some points for once. (Oh wait, I forgot, Khell doesnt care about points does he)


He doesn't need to take a homeworld anymore, I'd have thought Imperial would have been the right option for him to score points.


He literally does not care about scoring points. He's never taken Imperial and will continue not doing so. He's hardly trying to achieve any objectives and will continue hardly doing so.



What is your problem? Why would I have taken Tatts' homeworld if I didn't care about scoring points? Why would I take Leadership over Imperial if I didn't think it could get me MORE points this round? Just because I played my actions badly in the first rounds doesn't mean I'm not trying to score points.

Oh wait, I see. You're doing that thing again where you get mad because you think someone is going to start looking in your direction. Quite honestly, you haven't once got right what I plan to do in any round, so it might be time you stop trying to guess.


Oh no, by all means, come this way. I've got plenty of lasers for you. Hmmm, though it'd be fun (if inefficient) to block you in, too...


Fuck me, that's the part you focus on...to say you are blinkered would be a fantastic understatement.

Isn’t that more of a @Blend question?

@Twelve: What are your plans for this round? I'm happy to cede you Meer once I've exhausted it, but obviously I'm not going to let you Logistics your way up to Rex :(

You will probably need to move out as your second action as I fully plan on dropping some peeps on Winnu as my first go. As you have Leadership you will have to make a tough choice as what your first action if you want the benefit of using Meer. Or see if you can get Gnaw to clear a path so I can get to the Alpha Wormhole. If you can then feel free to keep that full system.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Let's hope he draws an SO that is worse than his current ones.

Though I can't see him actually taking MR, so at least there's that.

So Tatts, now that you ended up with Warfare and went to all that effort of putting 8 tokens in your fleet supply, why not just squash Khell in your homeworld and keep your trade agreement? With the Warfare bonus, you've like a million% chance to win. Heck, barely any losses, either, unless he's holding multiple Direct Hits.

She thinks I'm going to invade her. So she's trying to get others to stop me from taking that action. But she'd never say it so overtly because it would seem/would be so nakedly self-serving :(

Of course, as should be obvious, all I want to do is bank enough CTs to get the 2VP objective. I'm not interested in invasions.

@Tatts:

If I used Leadership turn 1 rather than moving out, would that be a problem for you? Shall I put the Trade PN receipt in my post?

Whether you actually invade or not, *obviously* I'd rather not have you camping on my border (again). Plus it'd be more entertaining. And economically better for Tatts. Win-win-win.
