It's your turn Tapper, what are your thoughts on giving me speaker and me letting your choice fall to you?

Not deciding on that yet. For one,it is too early to determine what if any objectives I can fulfill this round.

If we do that, because of the 'attack-Tapper-or-he-will-win' spirit that currently seems to be in vogue, I will also want a solid guarantee that there is not going to be any tricks with Racial tech to swap Strategies.

I'd be looking at your Trade PN, with me trading it or the 6 TG it gives me back to you when I activate the Strategy next turn.


Khell currently holds my trade PN, and that is the last time I am giving that out.

I can give you my political secrets PN as hostage to good faith but it's up to you.

I can give you my word that there'll be no shenanigans from me regarding strategy selection, I currently would like trade, technology, leadership or imperial so whatever you choose would not affect me.


Realistically though, if Tapper says he wants IMPERIAL and it will obviously win him the game immediately, there's no way you can honour that.


He needs 6 points and has no SO available to get so he cannot win next round. Even if he scores 2 somehow this round.


2 this round from a PO

Next round: you let him have IMPERIAL. He plays it and gets 1 vp from MR + fulfills another 2 VP PO. In the Status Phase he fulfills another (1 VP or 2 VP) PO. Win.

So,you mean the situation Morgoth is in now, except with a SO rather than MR? :)


Yes. I did say we can't let up on Morgoth, either, and I am still hopeful that the players who can actually access him will do... something.

That being said, Morgy has a lot less likelihood of getting the IMPERIAL strategy card. Pretty much the only way he can do so is if he has the right action card or if we're all horrible players.

You mean... like how he ended up with it this round?

And if I pinky-promise I will not take Imperial, will you let me off the hook?


I wouldn't believe it if I pinky-promised in your situation :p

So basically, damned if I do, damned if I don't, hmm?

Also, my loss is your gain, right? I mean, you may move to 9 points, maybe fulfill a secret objective for 10, and are 2 scores away from victory, with Khell diminished, me diminished, wormholes placed and the only players with fleets half the board away...

He means in Twelve's homeworld, but realistically the only people you can gain maximum points from and hurting your competitors in the process is Nom, Morgoth or D'rek. Tapper's recent move into Vefut blocks you moving a wormhole. You could come for me but that'd only nett you +1 VP as you have my SftT.

The only person you can get to this round is D'rek.

Trade my racial to IH for my trade




Unless I’ve traded it back to you since, I have my trade and you have my racial.
