I am not sure who we are waiting for.

I think either a battle between morgoth and gnaw or drek.

I am not sure with all the lawyering going on. Morgoth can i hire you as my attorney to explain what is going on and the precedents these latest rulings have set?

I love how close this game is, myself, morgoth, tapper, gnaw and twelve i think have a shot at the win. Who is laying bets on someone else sneaking in and blindsiding everyone?

[Morgoth]

Hah, I’m game. My fee is you not supporting twelve with anything.

The amusing thing here is that getting 12 points this round was nigh impossible, and how the map looks I wouldn’t be able even if twelve left me alone. What I get for being tight lipped I suppose.

Well, I won't score this round. Next round I get a decent shot at the 10 TG objective, but that only brings me to 8 VP, 9 with a SO. I essentially need a miracle to win, also because I rule a pocket-sized empire that is very hard to attack, but also to attack from.

I think Twelve can catapult himself to 6 this round, 9-11 by the end of next round. You and IH should manage to achieve that same value.

Gnaw is for me the unknown quantity, as Nom's something to say in how succesful he will be. He will be telegraphing his scores though, as he already had all 3 SOs apparently.

D'rek or Tapper would you like to trade commodities this round?

[D'rek]

My bad I forgot to post before going to bed. Will do so ASAP.

It's not really worth it for me to refresh since IH would pillage some.

[Tapper]

Yes, after I receive IH's PN and have swapped commodities with him, I will be happy to trade yours (and anyone's).

[D'rek]

Tatts, with my Industrial Initiative done you're all good now to take back Arnor/Lor whenever you want. If you play warfare first I'll use the secondary of it to move the destroyer out, but if you don't want to wait I don't mind if you go now and just destroy the destroyer.

[Imperial Historian]

I am taxing this latest jol nar initiative.

I'll play warfare then that frees up my ships to be able to move. I may leave you Arnor/Lor depending on what I can achieve. Where are you planning on moving the dread and destroyers to?

Ok, I'll edit it in (those poor industrial farmers, you're TAKIN DER JERBS!)

[D'rek]

And with this, I finally have as much tech as Twelve did in the first game

So to be clear:

Gnaw is passing morgoths ceasefire via tapper to twelve, and recieving twelves racial PN, he is going to pick imperial or QDH it if someone picks it before him, then play twelves racial (just to check the ordering of this works right?)

Tapper is going to provide the requested action cards to twelve, plus 8 tg And transfer the PNs.

I am playing trade in order to provide the necessary funds and paying tapper with my racial PN.

I believe Gnaw didn't agree to guarantee Imperial just that he wouldn't take it.. Plus he can give me Morgoth's ceasefire directly as we are neighbors and a ceasefire isn't an action card . Plus you can only pillage me once this round to pay for the trade refresh. And that you were giving Tapper your racial to help him pay for the trade. I can proceed without the Imperial guarantee as long as you three all agree not to select it unless you are willing to sell it to me through my racial. Or I will pay Tatts or someone else for it before one of the other players takes it.

Destroyer in Arnor/Lor to the gravity rift (since you want the beta WH kept clear). Homeworld forces to Mehar Xull. Or maybe Saudor.

It does seem to be that point in the game...

So it seems. Well, that cost me my scoring opportunity for the round, unless one comes out of the Imperial Secondary.
I am sure there will be a good explanation. Do we have all the components we need to power Twelve's altruistic sacrifice?

hah, his game winning one I assume. There's little altruism in the absurd price he asks to break his deal.

It's not game winning ibut it will get me back into the game. I fully expect you, IH, Tapper or Gnaw to still get to the 12 points first.

For an SO I need a ship in the G. Rift. If you want the TG's for activating the system with the destroyer in I can do that no problem, You won't have to waste a CT moving it.

Nom, if you want my racial you can trade with me on your turn.

I thought it would go to me?

I had you as next in line after Nom - did I mix that up? I don't really care which of you it goes to next, just that only one or the other of you can actually use it this round.

My main concern is you are picking after morgoth, I am not happy with any deal which leaves imperial for morgoth.

This is a very aggressive action towards some simple tax collectors.

I can give you my racial so you can pick it before him. I'm willing to pay something for gaining Imperial. I just don't know how much I'll have. I'll probably save those negotiations for the Agenda phase when I know more of where everything is at.
