Alas poor twelve. Here's hoping for twelve's dice luck to suddenly turn!

[Imperial Historian]

and why didn't you take those empty planets Khell?

A few reasons:

- Originally, I wasn't even going to take Ashtroth before D'rek pointed out Twelve could still diplo it if it wasn't taken (my generous spirit wanted to leave him those 2 resources).
- I'd need to take more infantry and that means bringing a bigger fleet to an out-of-the-way place (it's still a War Sun after all!).
- I'd be taking the other planets from D'rek, something which I doubt would sit well.

I'm not even going to bother reading why Khell did what he did. I was just set to sell Tatts my racial for an attack on A homeworld but whats the point now. Adios

I'm sorry Twelve. I don't have any morally good answer, it's pragmatism. I figure a War Sun might give me a better chance to still be in the running in the late game.

I mean the entire grand plan of eliminating Twelve fails because Morgoth can't take both planets before twelve takes his go and plays diplomacy so he is still in the game.

Twelve's dice have been great in the last half a dozen battles of his. So you're hoping for him to get terrible rolls now?

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how prepared Morgoth is.

Am I missing something? Sardakk commander would only let Morgoth move in one infantry, and he can't move a ship through the nebula, so how can he take both planets?

3 hits but Khell got one.

Your assessment of those factors are correct, but there are other ways.

[twelve]

Morgoth any chance you would wash my commodities and buy my racial or trade agreement?

[twelve]

Oh and Khell. I'm highly disappointed in you. I expected that kind of backstab from Tatts. I never expected that from you. And for the love of all that is holy why didnt you at least take all 3 planets? D'rek is doing the Mentak thing all over again. Why are you all helping her?

[Morgoth]

Taking the war sun makes sense, but I don’t understand why you wouldnt take those planets too. Oh well, too late I suppose

[Morgoth]

I’m sorry to say I am also going to join in on this, twelve. I’d be a fool not to take your system for my own at this point.

[Morgoth]

Though I am only able to take one planet (I don’t quite get what d’rek is refering to), I will take the one with your space port

[twelve]

Can you wait until after I build my Warsun that you are going to fund and I throw it at Drek?

[Morgoth]

I don't expect you do anything but use Diplomacy next turn. I don't really see a scenario where you'd be able to convince me otherwise. Mind you, if I wash your commodities and you sell me your SFTT, say for 2 TG, I can leave you your port. On the understanding that you leave me alone too.

[twelve]

Yeah forgot about that. Can you at least wash my commodities?

Oh deal. I wont be bothering anyone other than D'rek the rest of the game. I would like access to your commander at some point though.

I am sure we can work something out, as long as I see that you make an effort to stay in the game. If you suicide yourself into oblivion your sftt wont be worth much after all.
