Dickhead.

Could have been worse. I came || that close to kicking you out of Arinam/Meer.

Wish you would have tried. Couldn't have gone any worse than your failed attempt at my home world.

Indeed.

[Itwæs Nom]

Shouldn't have much to do until atleast afternoon so I'll figure out what I wanna do and answer y'all and all that in the meantime

If you allow twelve and I a free refresh, you'll end up getting a trade good from me through your ability, so I hope you're up for that.

Make the leader work for those 19 trade goods!

Tapper can I get the Speaker token?

[Tapper]

That would depend entirely on what you would offer me. I think you have promised most of your assets already this round. It also depends on whether you and Twelve would be willing to drop the strategy i want, to me.

I think the options are yourself or me so I am not going to offer anything, I think Twelve may want to offer something? I would agree to letting the Strategy you want fall to you.

[Tapper]

In that case, I will see how the round develops, first.

3rd pick is way better than last pick so I have no problem letting you have your choice of strategy cards.

It also puts Morgoth near the back again which you would probably want as well.

From where comes this hatred of innocent flora?

[Galactic Council]

Quick update - I missed a provisional from Drek to use a Skilled Retreat on Khell's action. I have updated the action accordingly, and Khell can go in and update his production should he wish to do so!

Am moving on to resolving Tapper's action now!

[Galactic Council]

Just because it may seriously affect the way the action gets resolved, I'm waiting for confirmation from holders of Sabotages on whether or not they wish to sabotage any of Tapper's action cards before finishing the resolution of his action.

No hatred but as someone who got a lot of heat for not even being the points leader last game you have not been getting a proportionate amount this game and you are in the best position to win if you get early pick or initiative next round.

[Imperial Historian]

We are playing to 13 points right? Or 15? Either way if Tapper takes rex, I'd say that puts him in prime position with two 2 VP objectives he can score relatively easily, first pick next round for imperial leaves him sitting pretty.

[Tattersail_]

14 points. The game does look like it's drawing to a close

Yes. If he scores 2 VP with a public objective this coming status phase, takes IMPERIAL next round and scores two more POs (at least one being a 2VP objective) then he'll be at 12 or 13 VP during next round's action phase and hit 14 in the status phase. If anyone were silly enough to give him a SFTT or he were to gain another VP some other way (e.g. from an agenda) he could win during the next action phase when he plays IMPERIAL.

Thankfully, he already has all 3 SOs fulfilled so he can't gain any more that way.

Morgoth also has the potential to win in next round's action phase - with 10 VP already and 2 SOs still to go he could potentially get 3 VP in this coming status phase and then fulfill an action phase SO next round. Though with the current slate of objectives, his only real hope for doing that is to either take a homeworld planet. Still, even if he waits for next round's status phase he's going to have a lower initiative order than Tapper's Imperial 9, so he would win that race.

If I can manage to score a 2VP PO and fulfill a SO in both this round and next, I can also hit 14 in the next status phase, so I've technically still got a shot.

You and Nom both also have a shot from doing the same, and also grabbing MR+Imperial. Given you are the two strategy choices right after Tapper, I could definitely see Tapper (if he doesn't hold MR) picking LEADERSHIP instead of IMPERIAL to ensure he gets the initiative lead on Morgoth, and hoping you won't be able to reach 14 in the action phase even with IMPERIAL, which would admittedly be very hard.

Technically, Tatts and Khell could both reach 14 VP in next round's status phase, too, if they combine PO+SO+MR+Imperial

IH you cannot give Morgoth your wormhole, if you do then he has a chance at a homeworld. Currently I need to steady routes into mine. Moving ships around a little.
