Oh wait, I see, Aetherstream which gives the +1 movement, not Aether Passage.

IH - you're welcome to use it if you give me the free refresh!

Khell when are you planning on playing Politics? Have you given much thought to letting me have speaker token?

Like I said I'd let you get the strategy you want, and willing to offer my votes to an agenda of your choice, maybe even throw in a TG too?

I definitely have not dismissed your offer, and I'm sure you'd keep to your word of letting me have whatever strategy, though if you come and bundle in on me along with everyone else that would be immediately off the table. I'm not planning on playing Politics any time soon at the moment (though this round is in a bit of a flux!), so we have time before decisions need to be made.

I'm not paying to take Khell out, if you guys aren't interested in taking Khell out, guess I'll accept Khell is going to win and accept Khell's deal and go off and score some points elsewhere.

Khell I'll take your trade agreement to leave Perimeter alone and take my warsun elsewhere.

Dealio. If we don't neighbour I can pass it to Tatts? - I'm sure he'll pass it on to you.

[Imperial Historian]

I think we neighbour on rex, I'll give the table last chance to reconsider since me attacking you on perimeter is the best chance of this game going on longer.

Either I get 3TG and blend aetherstreams me to perimeter, or I take khells trade agreement, move my warsun to quann and you guys can deal with the fact none of you bothered to build a decent anti saar fleet by yourselves.

[twelve]

IH you have amass wealth locked up for this round already. I find your attempts to blame us for losing to Khell insulting. I'm doing the most to stop him from winning and you still want more. And you are in a position to slow him down without hurting your scoring opportunities. If Khell ultimately wins you have no further to look at who let this happen than the nearest mirror. And your comment about taking your Warsun elsewhere makes me wonder to where? I'm the obvious target as you have Tatts wrapped around your finger. Or you could go through the wormhole which would hurt someone who is in a position to help you against the points leader.

[Tattersail_]

I'm with Twelve here IH. Khell is obviously offering the world because he knows that War Sun can dent his opportunity to win.

He's the closest right now to winning next round.

At first you asked Blend if you could use the +1 ability he offers.

Now you're pushing your trade agenda into the mix.

I was not planning on using trade this round, but if you want I'll do similar to Blend in that I'll pay 1 TG for a free refresh and only exchange commodities with you.

Stop trying to blame us for the fact that you don't want to negotiatee.

Free refresh gets you the use of my Aetherstream ability. If you're cool with just letting Khell win because I want something in return for your use of MY ability, then fine. It's a bit childish, but do what you gotta do.

[Imperial Historian]

Shrugs, I'm in the game to get points. I think this will get me the most points ultimately, and I can't see myself overtaking Khell or stopping him winning before I score more points, so this move makes sense to me.

Right, don't expect to use any of my abilities for the remainder of the game then. There's absolutely no need for you to make this move besides being an ass given you are already set to gain a PO this round without having to do it.

And considering you've just spent the day complaining about how we aren't doing enough to stop Khell when you're the one in the best position to do something about him, then turned around and HELPED him, not to mention taking out some of my ships, thus making me less likely to be able to do anything about Khell, well, bit hypocritical no?

I have my reasons. I'm in the game to win, I'm not willing to spend resources to kingmake. I couldn't see much chance of stopping Khell winning so I'll follow my own path.

[Morgoth]

There's so much going on I struggle to keep track of it all. So IH just attacked Blend? That's a choice to be sure.

[Imperial Historian]

I don't see why my not wanting to pay blend to risk losing 15 goods worth of investment to fight khell to allow other people to take better planets off him is such a surprise. I'm not operating a charity.

[Tattersail_]

I wonder whether you gave Blend a choice of Quann or Perimeter he would have made a different decision?

You gave Khell foresight of where you were moving to.

You have your reasons.

[Imperial Historian]

I had to give foresight as the whole move was irrelevant if blend didn't agree. And I did tell blend it was perimeter or quann.

[Imperial Historian]

That said that new action card blend just played was cool research at the start of a battke, that can really throw out people's calcs.

[Khellendros]

Tatts is fully halfway to winning, everyone get him!

I had to pick Imperial, so may as well make use of it. If I did not you'd be on 7 points this round already.

[Khellendros]

You know what I just realised: Terraform also makes the planet every type - Cultural, Hazardous, Industrial.

Which means that when I played Industrial Initiative last round, I should have claimed 3 trade goods, not 2, as I didn't include my terraformed planet in that count. Doh.

Oh no, I did let you know that
