As of now I have zero chance of winning.


Not true.

Well let's just say my chances go up significantly enough to be worth extending the game.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

It’s your turn Blend.

It's funny how everyone gets all bent out of shape when THEIR games are on the line... Didn't seem like anyone really gave much of a shit when it was mine.

So what, I'm supposed to just sit here and let you guys play because I have next to nothing left in the game? I'm supposed to just stay in my corner and stop playing the game I'm still a part of? I'd say maybe yall should have a look at yourselves before you start talking about how it would be an asshole move for me to use my resources and TGs however I deem fit.

Blend, when you put Nom's game into survival mode, it was also perfectly okay with you. You can't claim exceptionalism here.

Here is my price to prolong the game: a shields holding action card, a morale boost action card, Morgoth's ceasefire, 8 TGS non pillaged and the Imperial strategy card for next round.

Okay. I can deliver the TG, according to my PM alsobboth action cards and I am willing to pass on Imperial.

A PN I do not possess I cannot deliver - and unless you are okay with waiting on the TG until after I've traded all of them, that PN and my Trade Agreement cannot be traded in 1 transaction, anyway.

IH, for bearing the brunt of this deal, I will want your racial.

(Technically, Twelve, I have secured you at the least 1 free refresh, likely 2, so semantics say I've already fronted that part of the deal, but you're running an extortion racket here and semantics won't do).

Twelve is virtually last pick, don't see how we can guarantee him imperial unless d'rek makes him speaker or someone takes his racial. And are you asking not to be QDN?


I'd consider giving up my racial PN to you tapper for this, but I think Gnaw should contribute stuff of equal value, if I'm contributing equivalent of 5 TG otherwise the just gets a free ride to victory.

Gnaw, Morgoth may choose not to use ceasefire.
Tapper what's the possibility of you using Flank Speed this round?

Would you do a swap deal with me for another action card?

Edit, I can affect the game differently then, I can either move a large force to Mallice or to Tar'mann

Would you really be willing to sacrifice your own game to potentially damage me? That seems a little extreme. Not to mention you'd open yourself to D'rek gaining points from your now once again vulnerable systems.

You don't own Tar'mann or Mallice do you?

I don't see any reason you'd have to attack Malice, so I assumed you were sacrificing your own chance at getting points to try to prevent me from getting points. Maybe it's the megalomaniac in me.

At the risk of making another controversial decision ™, Morgoth does not have to use Gnaw’s Ceasefire.

Gnaw activated the system without any move orders, then told Blend it was his turn. I had Blend’s instructions, so I posted his turn. Gnaw’s turn is now gone and you can’t go back and add in move orders.

Looks like the price for me to attack Morgoth just went up. IH see if you can get those TGS off Blend so you can funnel a good many of them to me. And I'm going to need a Morale boost action card.



You made an agreement with me last turn, with all the pieces available to see on the board, that you'd hold off attacking MR for two turns. The following round you're asking for offers of a better deal to break the one you just made with me? That's a particular level of dishonesty. You knew my score and my position when you made the deal, you can't use the excuse of my points and position to turn around and break the deal.

Gnaw on the other hand has been entirely honest in his dealings with me, and in his inevitable betrayal.

I didn't even notice that Gnaw activated my system until Khell notified me. Too busy staring at MR I guess Posted Image

That's being a bit petty I think, both IH and D'rek have placed a similar order in previous rounds, they said activate system, wait to see if they activate the ceasefire.

And did they say it was someone else’s turn? This should be a lesson to post your full order, or emphasise that you want to wait till something by another player is fulfilled. Morgoth was smart enough to point it out (once, uh, he was aware enough that one of his systems was activated).
