Damn you Khell. Oh well.


I was excited for you when I saw that you had rolled a 10 on your infantry roll, then winced when I saw Khell's 8. So close!!


Inevitability. Morgoth could tell you all about it.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

It's interesting comparing the two games. Game A looks like it has had a much more explosive start than ours, which has been pretty cagy so far. Everyone seems to be circling around rex still.

With the 2 objectives we've opened with in that game it was explosive in a very literal sense. Everyone except D'rek lost something.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

IH, that Spy card you have? Play it elsewhere or I’ll be forced to sabotage it.

Good to know, a sabotage card out of the hands of the yssaril is probably worth it.

Out of neighbourliness and because you seem to have a vagrancy issue in your backyard, I'll play it elsewhere if you make me speaker. I'll leave you the strategy of your choice of course. I figure a sabotage card in hand is worth it. Fair?

Gnaw, I have 2 paths to gain points, Rex or through you. If not paid to choose the Rex option, I'm choosing the tech specialty planets option. How much are you going to pay me to do the Rex Option?

For what it's worth twelve whilst i respect the saars right to roam freely, any concerted attempt to eliminate any player would likely result in retalliation from myself and I imagine others. A disruption in the balance of the board like that is bad for everyone.

I'm not paying you to win points.
And I've assumed from the start that you were after revenge.

And, to quote Robert Heinlein, “the person who won’t be blackmailed can’t be blackmailed.”

Who said anything about elimination. It would likely end Gnaws game and might as well be an elimination. But that is why I'm giving him an out.

And from my personal experience you would do nothing about any concerted effort to eliminate another player even when offered a sfft.

You might as well have said, "do it, do it, do it! I double dare you!"

If i was out for revenge I wouldn't be trying to extort you. Frankly every time I try to have a civil relationship with you I end up worse off than before. You don't treat me fair and I can't trust you. Hell even your recent offer to give me a free refresh was just a veiled way for you to research the tech to fuck me out of points.

Twelve, pick a strategy card and get on with it.

Huh? How did I attempt to fuck you out of points? I saw an opportunity to try for a PO that you weren’t after that round. If anyone should be annoyed it would be Khell.

I had a non aggression deal made with gnaw before he embarked on his campaign of elimination. I gave you support via trades and votes. I gave tatts and non support in the same manner.

I don't think any attempts at elimination have ended well for the parties involved.
