Do what you need to do Gnaw. At this point if the game you need to do what you need to do to win


I *might* have a path to victory. Big part of that is IH giving up the SftT.

I’m tossing the dice.

And waiting for the howls of outrage from Scandinavia.

You know, if you win this round I’ll have done that for nothing. If you are a true friend to Morgy, you’ll make it go another round.

I don't think I'm a true friend to morgoth. Morgoth will understand.

Is there a secret objective with fighters or something that IH may be able to complete?


Adapt New Strategies
Form A spy Network
Master the Laws of Physics


These are the only 3 he can possibly score. That's right isn't it?

There’s a problem here, unfortunately. We still don’t know if Morgoth is retreating his Destroyer from the fight with D’rek in Thibah, and if so, where to.

Well shit.

Instead of you guys letting me build up with logistics and going all in to prevent IH from winning this round, you've actively worked to sabotage my ability to hold out and forced me to pass. Here we are with IH in all likelyhood winning this round while you guys fap about negotiating for all sorts of nonsense with twelve.

I can't pretend to say I understand your motivations, but I at least can blame myself from stretching myself too thin and leaving an opening for Gnaw and D'rek to attack me.


Gnaw, I will obviously hate you to the end of my days, but I would have done the same I expect.

Well that makes things simpler.

Edit: Although there's a problem with your requested Leadership usage.

@D'rek what would you want for me to borrow Nevant for a round and continued non hostilities between us. No retaliation? Gnaw's ceasefire, my Trade PN, or my racial. Anything I can offer you?

I would ask that people who’ve passed already be let to play the trade secondary on their turn before the next person plays their turn (otherwise it could get very confusing with regard to who can trade with whom).

Gnaw, you have a Dread and 1 Infantry remaining before ground combat starts. What would you like to do?

I don't think it makes a difference here, but technically the Nekro infantry aren't destroyed when the carrier is destroyed, and instead remain in the space area until the battle finishes, at which point Gnaw can decide which fighters/infantry to destroy until he is within capacity limits.

I mean... you put an enormous fleet in-between IH's homeworld and everyone else, locked it down with Diplomacy, and then didn't do anything with it. Did you really think anyone else was going to somehow get a bigger fleet than IH's homeworld force *and* somehow get it around your big wall?

We still removed his everything else :shrug:

With what timing? This round/turn or next? (and why do you want it, anyway?)

This round to score an objective. Move out next round back towards Jord.

Hmmm. That would certainly remove any chance of me scoring the tech planets objective, and add some risk to fulfilling one of my SOs but not too bad. And lose 2 votes plus 2 influence next round. Realistically, I won't be getting it back as the game won't go past next round, and there's no point spending a CT just to get a 2-influence planet back that I won't even use before the game ends. So with all that in mind... I'll do it, but I'm going to ask for a lot back

I'll let you have it in exchange for your ceasefire + Gnaw's ceasefire + Military Support. No retaliation, no misgivings, and you don't have to retreat back to Jord. You can even bring 1 dreadnought to bombard the infantry on Nevant. I withhold PDS when you take it, ofc.
