I'll pay you 4 TG to attack Thibah with your flagship


4TG seems a measly price for such an endeavour.

It would cost me a CT, a VP and probably my flagship, plus the inestimable cost of my loss of friendship with morgoth.

For such a bold attack on a trusted ally the mentak would require significantly more compensation.

By my back of an envelope calculations it would require as a minimum your racial, your sftt, your ceasefire, your sabotage card and 11tg (offers may be subject to change without notice).

@Gnaw

If you managed to take Blend's hw in the future somehow, I'll compensate you with my sftt and let you keep it as the rightful owner


I'm going to use QDH to grab Leadership. Was always going to do that for the CTs. Now the initiative will be beneficial as well. Turn 1 I take Muaat, turn 2 I can take Dal Bootha/Xxehan as long as I'm not pressured elsewhere.

If you take a low initiative car, turn 1 you take Mellon/Zhobat. That will leave him with no docks to build with.

If IH takes Quann, which he's stated he wants, then Blend will be down to Silvano and the War Sun and cruiser in the fire ball.


I like that

@Morghy, IH, Twelve, any of you planning on taking Diplomacy/Politics/Construction if it gets to you?

Oh, and should he take Nestphar, I have the repeal law action card.


How'd that help? Ah you mean Vefut?

Tbh I shouldn't have much problems taking Mellon/Z while leaving enough of a force to destroy his warsun should he decide to take Vefut so that likely won't be neccessary at all

Not to mention cementing your status as an absolute dickhole.



And here I thought Morgoth was going to be the one I'd end up in conflict with....

And, btw, the missteps I spoke of earlier? The first and biggest was thinking that a War Sun was a big enough stick to make Nom do what you wanted. D'rek tried to warn you about that but you didn't listen.

I am now at the point of having to seriously consider taking Lodd Eru back by force next round just to fuck you, cause if I dont there is no way I can beat you.

We could have had a peaceful, mutually helpful alliance, but if it's only one-sided what is the point for me to keep helping you?


Blend, you started this by that threat. Which seems to indicate to me that what you really wanted all along was to keep Lodd.
This has escalated to the tipping point. I can move them to Everra next round (no sooner than turn 3) or I can use them to fuck you. My preference is the former.

I am not going to use your racial this round. I'm holding it hostage for your continued good behaviour. And, before you get all pissy about that: I never said I'd use it and you never made its use part of the agreement. Further, I actually said very early on that if I got it there was a damn good chance I'd never use it.


Until you use my PN I am 100% doing everything I can to ensure you dont win the game.

Yeah, I guess facetiousness doesn't translate well over the internet. I figured the :p was enough to note that I had no real intention of doing that. *shrugs*

I dunno, for me actions speak louder than words. I've done exactly what I have committed to doing in every situation. I've said much more than what I've done, but never have I done something I hadn't said I was going to do. *shrugs*

Anyway, good luck with your games. Hope you all beat Gnaw.

Depends what reaches me. My preference would be for politics to sell the speaker token back down the line.

I don't know why you're still arguing with me - I've legit said several times that I don't blame you for doing what you did. You could have done elsewise and had more of a game during the first couple of rounds, but that was your prerogative. Don't know why you have to be an asshole about it - what I did was simply a game move. What Gnaw and you are talking about doing to me is just being assholes. Neither of you needs to knock me out of the game, Tapper and Gnaw have already effectively neutered me as it is.

Morgoth, tapper, nom and gnaw would you be amenable to a deal where I take politics, and make gnaw speaker and between you, you pay 6tg and leave me trade? I'll leave it to you how you split that cost up and who gets what card, but saves tapper and gnaw having to pay 3tg each to use there quantum data hubs and leaves the speaker token on our side of the board once more so nom and morgoth would both get good picks as well.

Neutered? There's a war sun I can't even touch parked in a hex neighbouring all of my current and potential planets, I just want you to fuck away from me

You completely fucked me game no matter how I decided to deal with that situation... blame me? Why do you even think of that as an option :p

But I don't blame either and since I don't really have a shot at winning I'm just now going to do all I can to fuck your game so I can play the rest of the game in relative peace and because revenge will feel good and maybe next time you'll think twice before fucking with me

And before so naively trusting your competitors

I'd been waiting all the time for a suitable situation to offer Gnaw or someone else my sftt to take your hw fyi

This is still a game of deathmatch, I don't think there's any room for blaming anyone for anything

Just my pov
