Soooo, anyone got an "unexpected action" AC they're willing to give IH so he repeat his action sans-ceasefire? I'm willing to chip in for paying for it.
Alternatively, anyone got a "destroy a PDS" AC I could buy?

You have 4 fleet supply, yes IH? So you can bring a total of 1 available carrier, the flagship and 2 dreadnoughts for a carrying capacity of 11. If that's all GFs that's 11 gfs against my 8 upgraded ones and my pds. In addition to Magean defence grid. Are you truly going to empty your systems in order to have a very low chance of gaining 2 victory points?
It could be a bluff of course and you're planning to take one of my other systems, but I don't understand why you'd do that. It would gain you no points, and potentially give the victory to D'rek or Tapper instead. That doesn't sound like a great deal, and not really in character for you. I would guess your goal to be to maximize points, rather than play kingmaker in D'rek or Tappers favour.
Maybe I'm just naturally sceptical of trusting my dice in ground combat, but I am going to run on the assumption that this is not a bluff, and use cease fire.

Figured you would. At this point I figure anything I can do to make you even slightly nervous and have to react to what I might do is worth it.
Also because twelve's current machinations are leaving a bad taste in my mouth and if he's going to throw the game to help you win I'm not against doing anything I can to stop it.
I have so much to say regrading the bad taste comment but I'm going to bite my tongue while giving you a very direct virtual look and say Really!?
I don't have a problem with you deciding to end the game, that's extremely frustrating but within your rights, especially with the way you've been screwed in this game.
Offering to help khell achieve his secret objectives though because you feel like it just seems like it's taking the fun out of the game.
So yes I'm going to do my best to make you suffer through another round.
I want Khell to have more points than you. This move is 80% petty and 20% reward to Khell for at least being willing to help me out this game even though it wasn't the easiest thing for him to do.

Twelve if you remember I set you up with trade goods when gnaw and tatts first attacked you and have ignored gnaws attempts to get me to help him by attacking you.
I'm unsure what I've done to earn your ire here... Not futiliy attacking gnaw so he can just stop the attack?

Also morgoth still needs to complete a SO to win, any guesses as to what he has? He can complete 4 PDS and 4 cultural planets as it stands, any others?

I remember and though it was a much needed resource boost, it cost you nothing to offer that trade and it was a less than a 1:1 trade for me. I've targeted you with Gnaw and Tatts for my "ire"as a bit of pay back from last game when you won by screwing me over and for disregarding all my various offers for VP to help me this game. From my perspective they would not have been futile attacks on Gnaw. Popping his ceasefire ability for me to get an attack in or you taking resources or landing hits would have been all I needed to actually having a game instead of just surviving. And it would have landed you another VP and helped you score some of the early POs which if I remember correctly you struggled a bit to score as it was. But whatever. Khell has disappeared and it's possible he won't be down for my offer anyway. It doesn't matter to me either way but it just seems to be a bit of Karmitic justice if the final standings have us 4 in the bottom of the standings when it's all said and done.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I am down for your offer, not much else to do. It will take me a bit to get there as my flagship can only move one hex, but I have Logistics so can make it.
Sorry, I just had a sixteen-hour day teaching and organising a conference (the conference is going to go till end of Sunday, so I will likely be extremely absent).

Don't you have gravity Drive?

Well I guess not. I knew you had upgraded dreads so thought for sure you must have gravity drive but it looks like you got there because of Chaos Mapping.

The tales say that back in the far-flung past, the Saar controlled planets with tech bonuses. But these are just rumours.
