Hey Tatts - would you sell me your racial for 1TG?

Tatts?

What for? You're secure. I'm pretty pissed at the misuse of it so no. Sorry.

Well, I'm planning to put myself into a position to prevent IH from immediately winning the game next round, but to do so I'm going to have to leave Torkan pretty undefended. I just want to add a couple infantry. I'll use your racial right away! I'd even be willing to give you 2TG for it. Watcha think?

Unfortunately, to prevent IH from winning next round I'm going to have to ensure that I go before he does, so I need to keep my 0 initiative.

By right away, I mean literally your turn is right after mine, I'd use it then. You're already out of STs so it wouldn't hurt ya, and it would actually put you 2TGs up.

This will give you a chance at winning. I can't really do anything about Morgoth, but I should be able to prevent IH from pulling an Imperial win off.

I'll make it binding then. You have to use it straight away.

2tg is a deal.

So I should post it on my turn, or you'll do it on yours? I think by making it binding you mean do the trade on your turn, yes? Can you trade before I have to use it? I do believe that it has to be used at the beginning of your turn, so we would have to trade on mine so that it's in my hand before your turn starts. Not sure though!

[Tattersail_]

Trade on yours. Go for it. If Morgoth or IH does not win it this round then it'll be a very good next round with everyone stopping each other

[Imperial Historian]

I'm not planning on taking imperial blend, so it's probably falling to Tatts fyi.

IH will be able to claim the 1VP tech PO but neither of the 2 available 2VP POs that he hasn't already claimed, so the only way he wins this round is if he has an SO he can score. He has said he doesn't, but we'll have to wait and see I suppose!

Morgoth will only be able to claim 2VP max this round given he's already claimed 3 SOs, so I'm pretty confident we're going into next round.

Yes, well, I'd rather be safe than sorry!

Tatts can't score either of the 2VP POs, and the only 1VP PO he has left is Intimidate Council. Assuming he puts himself in a position to do so (not sure why he didn't just retreat his ships from Mecatol to Bereg/Lirta), he could score a max of 2VPs this round, assuming he has an SO he can score.

He still has Mecatol, so if he gets Imperial next round, and manages 2VP this round, he'll still be one away from 10VP.

IH will be at 9, Morgoth will be at 8 or 9, Twelve will be at 6 or 7, and I'll be at 6.

I *should* be able to impede IH, it'll be up to you guys to do something about Morgoth, and the win will go to either Tatts or Twelve. Should be interesting!

Of course, all of this is assuming there's not a surprise VP in the Agenda Phase, or someone doesn't get an Imperial Rider through.

...or my plans all fall to shit, which is still certainly a possibility.

I think your maths is making some assumptions, with 2 TG tatts just needs to gain one more resource from somewhere and then he can score 3vp, or he can score whatever the new vp agenda is he should easily be able to score at least 2 of them.

He drew a new secret objective so its possible he can now score it now. What secrets are still out there?

How? All of Tatts planets are exhausted (except for a 1 resource planet) and he has no STs left to use the Dip secondary, and 0 TGs, so how exactly can he score 3VPs this round?

[twelve]

Blend I'm insulted that you think I'm only scoring 1 point this round. I have 17 TGs. Those alone let me score the 2 vp resource VP. I just wish I could score a secret object to make things interesting.

Honestly, after having analyzed Tatts, IH and Morgoth I sorta slacked off on ya - so 2VP puts you at 8, and 1 SO would put you at 9, right? Puts you in an interesting place too!

Not this round next he scores 1 pt this round then can score 3 points next round with imperial.

And don't think I've not noticed that you can score 3 vp this round and next if you score an SO both rounds Blend

Everyone is still in this.

That's all your accumulated luck used up in one battle I think, twelve!
