IH if you wait until next turn to use my racial, I'll give you it back to use another time this round. Fair?

So you're just going to kingmake IH then?

Why on earth do you think that? I want to win this game as much as anyone.

How about a peace deal between you and me?

You give me your racial and Ceasefire in exchange for my Ceasefire and not taking one of your homeworld planets on my next turn.

You won't be able to score while I'm there and you've tied up all your ships.

[Tattersail_]

I was going to wait a turn before hashing out this deal. Yet that would be me being greedy looking for both planets. I'd only have a 67% shot then. Right now though it's a cert.

Blend what are you scoring this round? The only thing left that you even have a glimmer of scoring is intimidate council but you just locked down the only fleet that could have kicked the last of my ships to dust. I'm not complaining but not scoring anything at this point of the game looks to be akin to just giving up. Am I missing something here?

Yep, you are.

I dont see how. Unexpected action has already been played and you only have 2 trade goods. And now Tatts is threatening your home system.

[Tattersail_]

At least I'm giving him a choice. More than he gave me

Dude - you want to continue ensuring you lose this game go for it. The only ships within reach of my HW that aren't locked down are the ones over Mecatol Rex. Go ahead and leave it open for Morgoth or IH to take. I can assure you it will be a bigger mistake for you than it will be for me. I still act first next round and you can rest assured I'll just continue making your life as miserable as possible if you continue to do the same to me. But you don't care, do you? Given you're just continuing to give IH more and more so that he can win this game.

[Tattersail_]

Why do you not want to hash out a deal?

Ceasefire would bring you peace from my side and racial would be a sort of apology for attacking me in the first place.

[Tattersail_]

Think on it Blend. I'll play my turn in the morning. If you are still not wanting to bend a little then that's up to you. You started our quarrel I'm hoping to end it so we can focus elsewhere.

[Tattersail_]

If you think about giving your racial for nothing, how about I leave you your choice of strategy?

So Ceasefire swap, racial for the strategy pick.

No attacking each other.

[Tattersail_]

That includes me or you not going for each others homeworld.

Tatts. Blend already stated he isn't giving his racial out and if I were him I wouldnt either.

[Blend]

I told you. No deal. Ruin your game if you want, I'm not giving you my ceasefire so you can hand the game to IH.

I can accept that.

Morgoth you look like you are stalling in order to score intimidate the council, which means fighting me or blend.

I'd be willing to move my ships/agree to retreat for a price. Attacking blend will cost you at least 3 resources (ie a CT), I could move for 2 TG or equivalent.

Maybe he wants to fight you to thin out your huge armada.

I also can't see it, I assumed he had the refresh all cultural planets and he was going to score the 8 influence PO, but he has already scored that so I'm clueless.

Probably but then my armada won't be as huge!

My biggest disappointment this game is that blend stealing technology off me stopped me getting warsuns last round.

I did the same thing. Even combining both economic and mining initiative action cards with his 2 trade goods only gets him to 7 production to score Erect a Monument. Those are the only unaccounted action cards that can gain him the resources to score as intimidate council is off the table now.
