Star crossed enemies across the ages. It will certainly liven things up!

Always the perils of the winnu, they have to make a bold play for rex to challenge... But then they become a target!

I've been self debating on if I should lower my infantry count on Rex to 2 dudes to take another system or to just reinforce Rex this round. I honestly was more worried about Morgoth making a play instead of Tatts. I thought a pds and 4 troops would be enough. Fucking Sol.

Morgoth do you really want Sol on Rex over the Winnu? I'm only going to have 2 total systems as if you block Tatts I'm 100% reinforcing Rex. This will leave Berg/Lirta IV available to you to take. You will also gain my support for the throne. Lots of plus for you. Even keeping Rex just barely keeps me in the game. With me losing it I'm done.

Ah, don't count yourself out if you lose MR - you still have some pretty sturdy systems around your HW, you could come back from the rear if you tried!

I just wanted to do a quick check of the game before going to bed. Did not expect this, or the turn being back to me already. Sure having the terrans get there would be a pain, but so is the Winnu with imperial. It seems unlikely that I, even fully awake, would be interested in saving the winnu’s position on Rex. And besides, I wouldnt have known if not for tatts mistake. So, in the interest of letting the game move rather than sleep on it, and because I don’t particularly want to be the deciding factor here, especially considering how I received the info necessary to interfere. I’m not getting involved.

[Morgoth]

Though I will let you be speaker, twelve, if you leave me tech.

Sure. I'm probably going to need trade to recoup from my spending disaster anyway.

[twelve]

Tatts anyway I can dissuade you from wrecking me?

[Tattersail_]

I have little other options. If I leave you knew more turn you will have action cards and the option to build on MR.

I deliberately didnt neighbor Tatts so I could avoid him attacking me this game and even that didn't work.

Don't take it personal. You know how rolls go anyway. My plan was always, from the start to take Rex round two. Without your amazing play round 1 I'd have politics into leadership and beat everyone there.

I was posturing with IH about AF but my goal was always Rex.

[Tattersail_]

Theres a 20% chance I don't remove you and your turn after me to reinforce. If that happens my game is over but this was the only window in which I could do it. Like you said, one more turn and you could reinforce and be impossible to remove. Forcing everyone to take Imperial.

[twelve]

I'm assuming my racial will be played. Does anyone else want a command token free secondary? I'm looking for trade goods or trade agreements primarily but will be willing to float options.

Tech secondary - my green racial

You should be specific, seeing as you have two green faction-specific technologies

Well, if you'll allow me to chose either Mageon Implants or Transparasteel Plating as I wish I'm not going to complain. However, I wonder if the others might protest considering the different prerequisits.

[Morgoth]

That was a cool move tatts, but I fear you've placed yourself in a very precarious situation.

[Tattersail_]

I understand but with good relations with my neighbours and the promise of not taking Imperial I hope not as bad as it may seem?

[Morgoth]

Hey twelve, I would be happy to exchange Sftt, and to promise you that I will not seek neither Quann nor Bereg Lirta. You're down now, but looking at the map and tatts' position, this is hardly the end for you. And with that exchange you wont have to worry about me along your flank.

That remains to be seen. IH is a hungry wolf, and you look very much like a lamb with a limp. Or so it looks to me, but you are Sol and can rebuild quite fast.

[Tattersail_]

That's why deals were made. I'm still wanting to trade with IH.
I trust his word.

Blend care to swap racials?
