Sure, what the heck, I'll play Research Agreement on Blend's LWD research. Blend, can you add it to your post?

[D'rek]

@Tatts - if you play WARFARE this turn, Blend has no CTs to do the secondary with. Gives us a lot more options/contingencies for stopping him from scoring if it's looking like he'll get his other SO this round as well / stops him from sending anything meaty out to claim that SO.

[D'rek]

And with that move from Twelve I think almost certainly Blend will go for his other SO in Quann/Twelve's homeworld with relative ease, so it's all the more important. Twelve, you really should have left the carrier and some fighters behind... not like I have any ships in Mallice to fight back against the war sun by itself.

Done. Figured you'd copy it!

[twelve]

He would have marched through my carrier if I left it so what was the point?

He either has the blockade a space dock SO *or* the ship-adjacent-to-a-HW SO. For the former, yeah makes no difference, but for the latter it would fight against him moving to Quann.

Could it not be the wormhole SO?

It's most likely the blockade a spacedock one, he could easily have occupied bereg lirta if it was be adjacent to a homeworld

Wormhole one he would have gotten when he had cruisers in the wormhole nexus. Agreed, more likely spacedock one.

Well I done messed up.

[D'rek]

Although...

Blend is at 0T | 4F | 0S right now.

Has 10 influence left to spend, and Leadership gives 3 CTs, so +6. But moving to get the SO would take a CT.

So unless he gains 2 TGs somehow, he can't get both the SO and PO, I think?

Tatts has ships in the area. Couldn't attack my homeworld and then protect my space dock from being blockaded?

[D'rek]

(or the whole Lodor move was a bluff and Blend is a supergenius)

True

[Tattersail_]

I wasn't intending on playing Warfare this early.

Blend Twelve does have a lot of infantry on his HW. Thoughts on giving me your racial and you researching a green tech next round?
If Twelve looks like he could win then itll be an option?

I would give you my racial and research X-89 next round if you promised not to move anything over Twelve's homeworld this round. I would trade the racial to you during the agenda phase to ensure you keep your side of the deal.

[Tattersail_]

Because then it would not matter? You'd have won?

[Tattersail_]

I'm asking for that as a contingency. I'm not going to try and let anyone else win but I had no plans of moving over Twelve's HW this round.

Drek's math is right, I can't win this round unless I somehow get 2 additional TGs. Kicking myself for not moving a fleet token last status phase.
