Thanks. Rex is extra valuable to the Winn and I would love to keep it for the rest of the game if possible.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Nom, why should I let you keep that?

Because you would lose a VP and Morgoth is the more immediate threat.

I will not PDS upon you if you go to Herra, and if you have a way to stall a turn I might clear my cruiser off Quann too next turn


I mean, I'm not particularly happy that you blockaded Silvano - that was definitely where I was hoping to attempt to rebuild. Doesn't really matter if you move your ship from over Quann away, I can't build anything on there, so you've basically just neutered what little game I had left again.

Because my game's even more fucked up than yours and the reason I gave you my sftt is I could do this?

Well the original deal was I only get your sftt after I obtain Silvano anyway

I have zero infantry, so I can't actually invade Herrah if I get there, so yeah, useless to me. Silvano was the only place I could actually rebuild at.

That's true - but given the way the game went, and given I cleared out Gwynan in the first place so you didn't have to face quite the fleet you otherwise would have when facing Gnaw there, I figured you'd leave me be in Silvano. It's clear, now, that you're going to take Silvano, so that makes my game over. All I'm good for if you do that is to sit back and watch the game, literally.

I'm not particularly arsed - my game was over when Gnaw decided to take my HW. There's legit nothing I could have done at that point to save it in any lasting, real way. That being said, I honestly thought you were gonna let me keep the little corner of the galaxy that I still had.

IH - I'm back to really wanting Tatts' racial.

Tapper - any chance we can make arrangements to trade that through you?

You're up next, so I figure if you trade with IH for the racial and trade the racial to me in exchange for 4 TGs, IH could then trade with you on his turn to receive 3 of those 4TGs and you'd get 1 for being our intermediary.

IH/Tapper - thoughts?

It prevents Nom from taking Silvano without having to use more troops to do so, so I think it would be beneficial to both of you, and potentially allow me to stay in the game a bit longer/cause some more ruckus.

EDIT: Plus, Tatts has used his ST, so you wouldn't be breaking that deal anymore IH.

I'm also in the market for Tatts racial. I think it would be hilarious if he has to fight troops he helped me generate.

I don't see how unless I can somehow get a ton of trade goods so I can build a second warsun while still being able to score an objective. Would serve him right for trying to screw me over yet again.

Yeah, unfortunately I'd like to try to keep the bulk of my TGs for now in hopes that I can get a Space Dock on Silvano that'll survive the round so that I can build next round. Lots of "ifs" in that scenario, but I gotta at least try.
