I can't say I noticed that little incursion of Blend's. The price of being distracted I guess. What do you imagine you're going to do with that carrier, Blend, and why shouldn't I swat you out out of the sky?
The carrier was moved there to clear the path for Gnaw to come through and take Lodd Eru and Mansa III, and help keep a bit of a screen between yourself and Gnaw. My plans, at this point, are to move it through the asteroid field back towards my currently unprotected planets (though I ain't gonna lie, if you hadn't reinforced Torkan/Tequ'ran, I probably would have taken a shot at taking them).
Heh - just noticed you moved all those ships outta there...
Well, I'd rather not lose that Carrier and stuff - can we come to an agreement?
I can easily take it out with a Dread and a fighter, the advantage of all my red tech. So that would have to be a pretty iron clad offer from you at this point.
A dread and a fighter vs my carrier and 2 fighters only gives you a 56% chance of winning. I wouldn't say that's "easy"
And yes, I've taken into account that it's a Dread2 with Duranium Armor and Non-Euclidean shielding...
I think you might have gotten something wrong in your battle calculations there.
I’m showing Morgy at 93%
Yeah not sure what I fucked up earlier.
Oh well, Morgoth, if you would rather waste a CT on that than let me retreat back to my systems, go for it I guess.

IH just pointing this out to you, if you could purchase Blends unexpected action card then you could take Dreks home system this round.
I'll destroy her dreadnought she has just moved and attack her fleet in Arnor Lor. I've got great odds of destroying her flagship even if she does retreat.

Gnaw's got first dibs on it if I can convince him to change his mind and take Silvano and leave me Lodd Eru, but if not, then it's all yours if you're willing to pay for it (at least 3 TGs or equivalent + Tapper's fee)
If you are selling unexpected action for 3tg that's a no brainer I'd buy it just to have.
And tatts you are really misunderstanding how PDS work if you think I have any chance of taking d'reks homeworld.
Twelve I've not decided my move next turn, regaining tar'man is tempting if only for the route to the beta wormhole and looting through it. Are you looking to stay there long-term?

I'm looking to move out 1st or 2nd turn next round. It all depends on the strategy card I end up with but no later than my second action.

*shrugs* You could just put a ship on Tork/Teq as a deterrent rather than destroying the carrier, but hey, you do you boo.

Blend thoughts on the unexpected action card? Keeping it yourself fora surprise may be better than 3 Tg's, but otherwise would you consider IH over D'rek? If you keep hold of it then I may be willing to purchase it off you down the line.

Why would Blend want to feed the player who is halfway to the goal versus the one who is at 2VP, for the same price? If IH outbids me that's a different story, of course.

The goal is 12vp isn't it so I'm not halfway
Honestly am shocked blend is even contemplating selling it for 3tg, the card itself gives 3tg of value by giving you a CT, plus a stall on top of the incredible opportunities for unexpected attacks afforded by a double move. Easily the best action card in the game in my view.
