For the love of God D'rek. Why? No discussion, I may have even give you my support for the throne not to do that.
Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

Not at all surprising though.
Twelve, no current designs on Rex, as long as I can feel confident someone else will take it off D’rek.

I've ran the simulations and the computer came to better odds than I estimated and I figured it would be about 60% in my favor. It all probably comes down to her pds fire upon invasion but even 2-3 with her -1 penalty I still hand about 35% shot if still winning. Not great but with her latest move defiantly worth the attempt.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Tatts -> IH (who said upthread that he was passing), Blend, Tapper, D’rek, Us (passing)

I'll be passing when it swings back around to me as well.

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

Remember way back to when we all assumed D’rek was going to take a few systems and then turtle up? That seems like such a quaint idea now.

It was worth it I did wonder if you were going to do anything about all that unguarded territory - though I thought you might blackmail him rather than go straight for the jugular!

Wait tatts left his homeworld completely unguarded? Next to d'rek?
I thought he was being ambitious but clearly hadn't studied the map enough. Well this could get interesting.

Not lying, I kinda wanna give Drek War Suns just to see what happens.

Heh. Give Tatts War Suns just to keep D'rek busy destroying his docks.
Edit: actually, that could be amusing. I’d hear his howls of frustration here in California.

I know it's a bit premature but thought I would throw this out before the strategy phase. If people are interested in preventing D'rek from getting the influence and VP from owning Rex this round, in case she grabs imperial, I've figured out a way that might work as long as the die are average at best. It would require a turn one use of Tech, A turn 2 or later use of Leadership,Tatts moving his ships off of Ensapta with his first action with any strategy card lower than Logistics and me getting the Logistics Strategy card. Most of that seems very reasonable. Thoughts?

I choose last. D’rek is right before me. If she ends up with imperial it’ll be because a lot of folks let her.
