I never saw this cunning play coming. I am shocked and outraged at the saar claiming to be both ships and not ships at the same time.

When is a ship not a ship?

When it's a saarlboat.

Also fun fact I just noticed. Half of the players in this game have only researched blue technologies, the other half have not researched any blue technologies (tatts has one but he started with it) .

Twelve - any chance I could get you to name me speaker somehow? With a promise to leave you whatever strategy you want?

Sorry I just cant risk ut.


I mean, I have spent the entire game cultivating our friendship, and have given you free access to my Aether abilities throughout. I don't think it's a big ask, I just don't want to be last to pick strategies. As I said, I'll leave you whatever you want. You have no reason to believe I wouldn't keep up my end of the deal given I've done so throughout this game.


As a follow up to this, and a general note. I have changed my orders with Drek. As of right now, no one gets a free use of my Aether abilities without getting explicit permission for EACH action on here.

Twelve, you can turn your free use of my abilities back on if you make me speaker. Otherwise I see no reason to help you with anything going forward.

It's been a great friendship. I've got a movement buff and you have been getting free troops. I think we both have benefited greatly from the arrangement. However you are saying that if another stage 2 objective comes up that I can score you will still allow me to take Imperial and win the game on my first turn next round and all it would take to stop me is you denying me Imperial you wont take it?

If you were in my shoes would you risk it?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Does this also mean I cant even use the pass through ability that you agreed to to allow you the use of the Ledgendary planet? Breaking a deal now and you want me to put my game on the line and put you in a position to do it again? This is actually hurting your chances if gaining the speaker token.

It's pretty simple - continue working with me or don't. Just know that choosing not to will ultimately cost you the game. :)

You are the one saying you don't want to work with me by breaking a standing deal because I may or may not give you the speaker token. Speaking of which you have offered me nothing in exchange for the speaker token nor have answered my other question of what assurances I have that you won't break the deal while at the same time possibly breaking a deal with me. You aren't painting yourself in a very good light. Help your case don't hurt it.

And now that I have to ask for permission until we possible work things out. Will you allow me to move a ship from Rex to Winnu this turn?

I actually asked you what you wanted for it, reassured you twice that I would let you choose whatever strategy you wanted and you said there was absolutely no way you were going to give it to me. So I resorted to a strategy I prefer not to resort to, aka threatening to fuck up your game.

I think in terms of the full game, I've done a lot more for you than you've done for me, and asking to be made Speaker in exchange for me not standing in your way of winning combined with the various uses of my Aether abilities, both previous and going forward, is not really that big of an ask.

Get off your high horse, I'm not impressed with your high and mighty bullshit. I can probably mess your game up as much or more than anyone else on the board right now.

Will you make me speaker? Pretty sure I said above that your using my abilities was now dependent on that.

Again tough spot. If Khell still held Rex and asked for Imperial it would've been a tough choice.

Morgoth, you still interested in relic fragments? I've got an industrial here for 2TGs if you want it. Also, would you mind flipping my commodity?

Ah, ifs and buts.

I’ve had a couple of big moments spoiled at the eleventh hour. IF Blend hadn’t dropped that ship in the alpha wormhole on his first turn last round and thus blocked me, I’d have invaded Twelve’s homeworld.

IF you hadn’t taken Minister of War, I’d be holding your homeworld right now :)

Sure, I'd be happy to on both accounts.

IH - it feels wrong somehow to be without any blue tech. Still, my faction kind of demands a different path.

IH, I was hoping that was not going to be your first action. Now I'm going to struggle finding 7 structures I think. Meaning I'm not going to be in a position to win or affect the outcome next round, as it looks like I'm being penned in. I applaud the action though. I am already forced to do an action I don't want to do but needs must. I think my next turn will be a surprise to all.

I also don’t really see how you’re going to struggle getting 7 structures seeing as neither tokens nor not having Construction are an issue for you.

I think I'm going to be at least 1 short. I have to activate a system twice to place one.
