How big a fleet do you want me to park there?


I dunno - whatever you think you'd need to ward off whatever Gnaw might decide to throw at you?

I need to keep at least one planet in order for me to remain in the game. Gnaw told me when I was running the last game that his goal was to one day eliminate a player from the game. That's why he did what he did to Twelve last game, and presumably why he's doing what he's doing to me this game. I'd like to stay in the game and get War Suns out to as many people as I can while I'm still here. To do that, I need someone to protect one of my planets, as I can't do it alone. I'm willing to make whatever deals I can to make that happen.


Wow. Just wow.


Yeah, fuck you too Gnaw.

I'll check specifics later but I shouldn't have much problems taking Quann and keeping since Gnaw will have my sftt

I could probably move a few cruisers, a carrier and some fighters . Depends what the next objective is. That said you are far enough away from my production centres that if gnaw seriously wants to take quann I'm unlikely to be able to fend him off.


Yeah, it's what I figured the case would be. I mean, he's got a War Sun right next to Quann, so unless you can ward that off, I doubt it's worth the effort. Ah well, I'm hoping that Nom will just blockade Silvano to keep me in the game so that he can get the point from my SftT.

The start you had as well D'rek. 0 objectives scored. 6 VP's off IH. You may be smart, but you didn't play smart.

We have had 3 games so far, none of my neighbours have won in any of them. This could have gone so differently if we had been amicable. I'd be over there on the other side of the B wormhole having fun against the War Suns, and you would be turtled up all safe in your area.

I had visions of using warfare to transfer carriers and swarms of fighters into Muatt/Nekro territory reeking havoc. Instead I've spent my whole game fearing elimination.


Cool. Next time leave a couple infantry at home and you'll get exactly what you want.

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.

Nom if you want to take your huge fleet into the heart of the points leaders territory I can connect you to the alpha wormhole. Anyone else that would be interested in doing this let me know.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

If you want the VP from my Support for the Throne, I need to keep at least one planet or 1 infantry under my control. It's up to you, I'm at the mercy of everyone else on thread, but it's worth a point to you to keep me around.

Tapper - just as a quick heads up, I'll be flipping another action card your way when we hit the agenda phase. I'll keep one of them just in case Nom decides to keep me around so that my Support for the Throne is actually worth something to him, and frankly I want to fuck with Gnaw as much as I possibly can while I'm still alive, but the other one is useless to me, so I'll give it to you to do with as you please!

Drek/Twelve/Tapper/Nom/Tatts - if I give one of you my racial during the agenda phase do you promise to use it as soon as you can in the action phase? I'd like to try to give as many people as I can War Suns while I'm still in the game. Ideally, I'd give it to someone I'm not neighboured with during Agenda phase, have them use it, then trade to Nom or Tapper, have them use it, then trade to the other during the action phase. Thoughts?

I will happily use War Suns on the same action as I acquire it.

Nah, as Veto is supposed to be played as soon as an agenda is revealed, i.e. before you would play your Galactic Threat.

I have 5 votes for anyone who wants them that won't use them to benefit Gnaw.
