Let's not do that Blend. This round or two has 3 or 4 potential winners. It's exciting and I'd like it to be won properly.

So, Gnaw. Were you serious in your offer of the SftT?


Very


If IH attacks me back I'll offer you my SftT, but i'll need a guarantee that you'll leave my systems alone, including the empty one. Sounds good?


Right up until you're the points leader.

Me giving TGs and Support for the Throne to IH would allow him to win properly. It's certainly not cheating.

*shrugs*

I'm still part of the game, I can certainly still affect the game, I see no reason why I shouldn't, particularly if it stops Gnaw from winning.

Well there ya go, then. Nom/Gnaw - it behooves you to eliminate Blend completely for the good of us all, before he can assist IH.

Blend can do whatever he wants with his own TGs, so let’s not get on his back for that (even if I still think he should build a space dock!) Rather, it’s the decision of other players whether they want to accept them or not.

IH - if I gave you TGs would you be able to turn them into a win this round?

EDIT - I also have my Support for the Throne in my hands. It's promised to Nom, but if you can use it and TGs to just win this round, then I'm willing to throw both your way.

It's funny how everyone gets all bent out of shape when THEIR games are on the line... Didn't seem like anyone really gave much of a shit when it was mine.

So what, I'm supposed to just sit here and let you guys play because I have next to nothing left in the game? I'm supposed to just stay in my corner and stop playing the game I'm still a part of? I'd say maybe yall should have a look at yourselves before you start talking about how it would be an asshole move for me to use my resources and TGs however I deem fit.

You misplayed and your game got fucked. It happens. Then there was a missed error that made it worse. That happens, too.

Tatts also misplayed and his game got fucked, but you don't see him trying to feed the leading player just for the sake of ending the game sooner. Realistically, Nom, Twelve, and I don't have a shot at winning this anymore, either, so should we just give all our TG and PNs to IH, too? Should I just vacate all my planets and let him invade for the sake of finishing sooner?

If you really want out, that's fine, just tell Khell and we'll treat Silvano as being a neutral planet and Muaat as eliminated.

Actually mathematical speaking I can score 6 points in a round so technically I could still win but yeah I'm probably done.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Morgoth what will you pay me not to block the alpha wormhole? I see your game now and I can and probably should wreck it and still uphold our deal not to attack Rex and force you to either use your skilled retreat on your flagship or have it go kaboom.

Tapper, are you going to shoot at Morgoth from Lodor? I think he forgot you can do that.

So because you guys are not choosing to play kingmaker means that I should just sit quietly in my corner?

The moment Gnaw took Muaat I stated very clearly on thread that playing kingmaker is what I would be doing for the rest of the game, particularly if it stops Gnaw from winning.

I literally can do almost nothing more this game for myself, why shouldn't I use what power I have to sway the win besides the fact that it means that a few people who might win if I don't get involved don't get to win?

Actually nevermind. That is an awful idea on my part. sure it would stop you from scoring the 11 planet objective but would get my fleet destroyed in the process.
