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.

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.

Not that you even need them but Blend stealing tech was a mistake. He should have saved it for an Imperial for the win play.

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.

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.

Holy shit...........

This is definitely what I was planning to do, having completely forgotten that I already scored that PO. Wow. Welp, there goes my game. Fuck.

I had an action card for that before Morgoth stole it... Twas a shitty turnout.

It's those little details that get you.

[Blend]

So angry at myself, lol. Ah well, guess the name of the game is gonna be fuck with Tatts as much as possible at this point.

[Tattersail_]

I was bluffing anyway Blend. Good call.

[Morgoth]

hey twelve, I realise this might seem like an agressive move, but it's a defensive choice to block a potential access to my homeworld.

[Imperial Historian]

In good news, I am not redundant and in fact have had a promotion and a payrise!

Waiting to see what card IH steals from me (that damnably employable scoundrel) before I do my next move.

I'm pleased at my ability to read what you are doing, but understand quite how frustrating that mistake was.

If it helps I had to double check you had scored the 8 influence PO because I thought you had very cleverly set yourself up.

Definitely wouldn't have wasted all those action cards hanging on to Corneeq had I realized my mistake. Hell, this whole round would have gone very differently. I'm still so fucking upset with myself, I thought I had a real chance at pulling out a win, but now I'm completely fucked, there's no way I can pull enough points out of my ass to compete with IH or Morgoth. Owell!

Why not help a neighbour out then? I'd love for us to make a deal for your racial.

Eh. I figure you are just scoring a secret objective.

NO!! I don't know how many times I need to say it, I am no longer giving out my racial. I will continue to take advantage of being first in initiative and do what I can to prevent IH or Morgoth from winning (even though I'm not in a great position to do that)
