I have to say. You aren't very nice either. I'm the nicest as I'm the only player that hasn't attacked anyone else all game.

Hey Tapper, I've got a few TGs burning a hole in my space pocket. Can I buy your racial PN for 1 TG? I'll use it right away, and you have no strategic CTs so it won't cost you anything for me to use.

Since you ask so nicely, I will happily accept.

Though Tatts should do it for free for breaking his vote deal with me last agenda round.

Fighting in mallice! I hope you respect Creuss territorial sovereignty d'rek.


Last time you spoke to me you made it quite clear that you don't consider me a friend.

Then when we were parlaying a deal you abandoned it halfway through to sell your WH generator PN to Gnaw so he could move it somewhere in my territory to better attack me.

So... what reason have you given me to respect Creuss territorial sovereignty again?


Well the options are we play nice and I remove one of the wormholes from your system and we both keep out sftt, or I go screw support for the throne and move through the wormholes gnaw has nicely provided to hit your fleet, and you'll lose yours as well when you inevitably have to attack me back. Fighting Creuss in a wormhole is never a good idea.

So up to you, keep things neutral or get into a war, and I assure you taking malice will inevitably result in me doing everything in my power to screw you over.


Yes, I agree. I'd really have liked for you to play nice the several times already that you've opted not to.

Give me back Mansa 3. Give me your racial PN so you can't keep provoking other players into attacking me with it. Do that and I won't invade Mallice.

If not? Then fine, throw your fleet into a pointless bloodbath with mine. Lose your SFTT VP instead of keeping up with the other two leading players. Leave your territory completely exposed to other players. It would be a stupid decision that will remove any chance of you winning, but I'm not afraid of your weasely little ability to produce 1 free hit in a wormhole system :D Bring it on.


Mallice is critical for my chances of staying in touch of the lead, without CT I'm not in the running, so yes I will attack you if you take it. And then I'll make up for the lost sftt by attacking you further. It's not ideal but it would be the only choice you leave me.

I have never encouraged anyone to attack you, my racial PN has been and still is open to anyone to buy. You left your systems open and people have taken advantage of it.

I'm leaving mansa 3 this round as tatts has asked, if you want it you'll have to make an agreement with tatts, but as far as I'm concerned you are welcome to it.

I won't give you my racial PN but I will move one of the wormholes if you ask. You are still welcome to buy my racial PN.

He wouldn't but he offered everyone the opportunity to broker deals for action cards and if he doesn't do it he would be breaking yet another deal this game. I'm giving him a chance to redeem himself a little.

Oh I fully expect him to break his word again and not broker anything for me. But everyone knows his word is crap. He has shown through 2 games he will skirt the bare edges of a deal if not outright break it. Not someone I would want to be teamed up with. You of all people should also know this as you were stung by hI'm last game as well.

Yes yes blah blah same old song and dance every time. "I don't encourage fighting, I just sell the guns" blah blah "You left yourself exposed, it's only natural someone would take advantage." etc etc

Guess what, IH, you overspent and left your CT infrastructure exposed and someone took advantage of it. If holding Mallice after having Leadership Strategy given to you 3 times is the one thing that tanks your victory chances, then you don't deserve to win. Shouldn't have put yourself in a position where you only get 3 new CTs for next round and you have 6 ships in one system (why did you do that anyway, you hardly needed all of them to retake Bereg).

But sure, you'll sell your racial PN to anyone, since you're just a non-malicious purveyor of goods, right? Great, sell it to me in exchange for my trade agreement. I'm going to put it in the Creuss Gate, but you don't care right, your mantra is still "what I do with it is none of your concern" ?

Thanks for the thought but it's a matter that only Tatts can trade action cards. If I had to I could trade to Nom during the agenda phase to pay him but I have to use Tatts to trade the action card to me.

Oh and Nom please don't Trade that card to Gnaw or Tatts. That would likely be the death of me.

I'll sell my racial PN for 3tg or equivalent if you use it on the turn I give it you is the deal I've maintained. I won't sell it to someone who is attacking me cos duh. I've usually made it a requirement not to place it in my systems or attack me, again not unreasonable.

I agree I left mallice exposed. If you attack me those ships come after you to reclaim mallice, that's just how it is, but then I suspect you want that for some reason, so good luck?

You've been spoiling for a fight all game, first khell, then me, then morgoth, then gnaw guess I'm going to have to give you a real one, just don't really understand why.

And yeah I agree I don't deserve to win this game, multiple poor plays, cest la vie.
