Avoid meaning get the hell out of the way if I need to.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I don’t like the Mentak on Lodor. Unless IH is willing to park a blocking ship in the alpha wormhole.

Oooh, very interesting. A strong move, and probably no trouble taking out those Cruisers with that flagship. Plus Khell blocks the easy reinforcement/retreat path.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Hey IH, I am sure that system looks tempting to you right now, but in the interest of friendship I’ll be happy to make you speaker in return for leaving it alone. Or to male gnaw speaker if that’s what you prefer.


You'd really make Gnaw speaker, and put yourself at last to pick a strategy card? Seems like a pretty bad deal compared to getting the planet + 2nd speaker pick, or even if you did put yourself as a late pick you could probably get a more valuable deal like Nom not pillaging you, etc

Am I missing something? you can't get your dread there for another turn minimum as evera is in the way. What do you want to not fight me for the system? And what are you offering me not to attack you there, seems like it is a lot more important to you than me.


Yes. Yes you are missing something.
I'm going to take offense at you going after that system.

Or are you just ignoring my interests in this?


Ssssh Gnaw you are making my attempt to make twelves life difficult difficult :p If I could grab that system for a turn it would be great but I'm mainly interested in making twelve's life difficult, I have no long term designs on that system it is yours.

Re lodor and mentak what do you mean blocking ship? Take out lodor or put a ship in between lodor and your homeworld?

Which of the many systems unclaimed are we talking about, because they all look tempting. :p

Seriously though we have agreed a border and I will stick to that agreement I would love to be speaker and again in the interests of friendship will try to avoid picking the strategy cards desired by you and Gnaw. I want to maintain friendly relations with my immediate neighbours and do my aggression through a wormhole.

Tatts, would you consider placing the alpha wormhole on mehar xull when it comes to your turn?

Nom is currently trapped on lodor so can't stop khell taking resculon corneeq, if the alpha wormhole is there he has an option to leave and take it before khell, and stop the Saar ball becoming even more scary.

It also gives me more options for claiming a red planet for the VP, but since two of the options I have open to me are in your territory I figure you'd want that?

Are people seriously leaving logistics for khell? Have you missed it's still on the table? I'd have thought twelve would definitely have taken it so he can continue moving towards rex.

Again with the scaremongering. Nom isn't trapped on Lodor, I'll either move out of his way or he can just destroy my little Carrier. Wouldn't it be better to ask Nom how he feels about a wormhole next to his homeworld?

I'm going to get caught up now, when do you plan on using leadership?

I was torn with it but decided against it, and honestly thought Twelve would take it.

Alpha or Beta wormhole placement is up for grabs then, who wants me to place one and where?

IH wants me to place on Mehar Xull which is tactically sound for him gaining a VP. IH what do you offer me for me to do this?

If anyone else wants me to place either an Alpha or Beta wormhole, speak up before my turn and we can discuss.

Edit, IH I hope that's fair. I have an idea what I want from you but i'll see what you say first.

How long are you going to give people this time? Ten minutes? Fifteen? ;)
