A couple more get played and I’m just going to go ahead and take Rex. No point in me playing Technology for CTs when all the secondaries are gone.

I can live with that, but I'll have to delay moving off Lodd Eru until you play Technology. I can stall a couple of turns, but that's about it.

You'll get 6 tokens with technology if you want, so if nothing else you'll be well placed for next round. And at least with diplomacy being played so early, most wont get that much of a benefit from it anyway.

Though I wont begrudge you MR. As Nekro it's fun being in the center where everyone wants to attack you.

Though I would very much prefer if you played it first round.

MacGnaw, I have a destroyer available for trade. Feel free to make offers if you are in need of technology.

Hmm. Seems like we have a deal to be made.

I can't quite believe you are letting d'rek keep rex for another round and claim 6 resources and a VP from it.. on top of the 4 resources she gets when someone does eventually take it.

It's there and empty!

[Imperial Historian]

And considering the fact the 8 influence VP is there you are practically giving her that for free as well.

Oh, no it's not that important to me. Go ahead and take Rex, as IH says it's 2 VPs for D'rek if she keeps it one more round.

So you’ll be taking it then? Mr. 8 Initiative and has 2 cruisers, 2 infantry, 1 carrier, and 2 fighters available.

[Imperial Historian]

I wish I could but she has my ceasefire. Otherwise I definitely would.

[Gnaw]

Seems like a good time to force her to use it right?

[Tattersail_]

It's important enough that she used an action card to get it, made a deal with Morgoth to keep it, her racial doesn't go for nothing. So Morgoth will get a good tech out of it. So making sure she does not get to use it first turn should be ALL our goals. IH forces her to use his ceasefire it opens up other avenues in were he can actually put pressure on her from the other side AND if she attacks him he gets his racial back and all those TG's D'rek will accumulate being attacked by players. So I can see why IH would want to do that. He also has logistics so can always remove the token that gets placed.

If that happens then Gnaw you could also put pressure on or take Mec Rex this round with a token force. Whoever takes it off you will be giving you a free tech. In fact you moving in first will then mean IH can pressure elsewhere. You go before him, and it is first turn that this needs to happen.

If he does then she'll still gain the point with Imperial. As far as I am aware right now only you can take Rex this turn.

[Imperial Historian]

I doubt she would with all my ships out of position she'd just take my planets and laugh at my inability to stop her.

I get the sense you are worried about me attacking you gnaw after you take rex. I will not move any ships to rex unless you pay me to this turn.

I could even be persuaded to trade you Tatts racial PN which would set you up well to defend it.

Or perhaps signal jam d'reks dreadnoughts in bereg lirta if that's what you are worried about.

[Gnaw]

What I’m worried about is losing a bunch of secondaries. I’m already shit out of luck with Diplomacy. If people want me to take Rex, I need a boatload of assurances that others won’t play their strategy cards until after I play Technology turn 2.
Except Tatts. Warfare would be helpful for me for this.

Blend - Construction
IH - Logistics
Nom - Trade
Tapper - Politics


Is it only Blend and IH you need assurances from?

[Imperial Historian]

I will not be playing logistics turn 1

So yes I'll play it after you.

[Imperial Historian]

Blends already said he's playing construction turn 1, so you would be losing out on potentially political and imperial secondaries.

Cool with me.

Your cruiser bravely flew in the way of the PDS shots directed at your carrier, Tapper.
