I know gnaw is difficult to predict but I did not expect the third placed player to just decide to hand the win to the second so completely...

Because I have no path to victory. As Tapper said awhile back, I have to telegraph all my VPs.

• 16 influence - no for me, doable for you
• 6 tokens - I could do that at the expense of doing nothing else for the round, yes for you
• 3 unit upgrade - yes for both of us
• 6 planets with same trait - no for both of us
• 5 tech planets - I could but only if Morgoth let me, no for you
• Control someone's home - yes for me, maybe.
• 16 resources - probably not for me, yes for you
• 2 techs each color - probably yes for me (unless I keep having shitty rolls), no for you

You will get there before I will. So I'll help my neighbor try to beat you. *shrug*

That's why you Morgoth and D'rek have ships near his home world so you can take it so he cant score the points.

There are 3 in that list that are feasible for you and not for me, plus 10 planets isn't impossible. 2 of those and an imperial play (which you can QDH) and you beat me.

I need one of those I can score or a secret objective otherwise I can't win.

And i have to withstand morgoth and drek trying to take my homeworld.

Yes i have a reasonably high chance of winning, but so do you. I just don't get the defeatism.

If you want a stall card twelve i can offer one?

If you are giving it without a pillage I'll take it.

If morgoth stalls I'll think about it. Tapper would have to agree as well.

I mean, you already own my homeworld, and the only way that is gonna change is if Nom decides he wants to take it from you, or the game lasts another like 3 rounds minimum, cause getting down to my home system from Silvano's gonna be a fucking nightmare, so I'd say that you already have that one in the bag if it comes up.

And it's all for not. Morgoth isn't going to end the round at 11 eligible planets.

If he has a stall card or two technically he still could.

I hold 9 now. I don't see any way I could acquire 2 more.

[Imperial Historian]

Ah you don't have gravity drive. You also appear to have an unsupported fighter in your homeworld.

[Imperial Historian]

Gnaw don't you have to declare who. You are targeting?

Also I'm taxing this.

The mentax is awesome I've gained so many TG this round...

[Imperial Historian]

What's the betting economic equality shows up now!

[Blend]

I would definitely say that Gnaw will have to declare who he is planning to use that action card on before anyone declares whether or not they will use a sabotage.

If I had a Sabotage, I may not sabotage the card if it was being used against someone else, but would definitely use it if it was being used against me.

Yeah I believe he has to choose a target first as that will help determine if it gets sabatoged or not.

[Gnaw]

Well crap. The only decent one left is Abyz. I though the strike through on Vefut was a mistake. It's not.


Sorry Morgoth. I want the option of QDH.

Also it looks like the map has 4 fighters on Morgoths homeworld but he only has capacity for 3. Is that a case where one was supposed to be moved or does one need to blow up?

[Blend]

Ah, Drek, I woulda paid you to make me speaker so I would have a chance of getting something useful. Ah well!

Yes, when he moved ships to New Albion-Starpoint, he lost capacity in his homeworld, so a fighter will have to be destroyed. I’ll correct it in the next update.

Any action resolution from me will have to wait until late tomorrow I’m afraid.

Now that the Speaker has been chosen D'rek, Tapper either of you looking to pick up Imperial?

Yeah, but I'd already made a deal with Tatts like 3 turns ago :shrug:

Nope

[Tattersail_]

Who are we stuck on?

[Imperial Historian]

Nom next, then you, blend and I have passed.

I'm not using any secondaries until logistics.

[Itwæs Nom]

Ah, sorry, didn't expect my turn so soon with the last time taking so long
