D’rek, I took a Carrier from you as I said I wouldn’t do anything further to IH this round and Tatts has nothing left worth taking. If you want it back I’m happy to give it back.

I don't need it for now. If you've got a use for it, go ahead and hang onto it.

I would like to get my dreadnought back from your sheet, though, if that's possible.

Yes, I don’t need it (he says, optimistically). Just put it in as a trade on your next post.

[Tattersail_]

Khell, is that the same for any ships you have of mine? I can trade them on my turn?

I actually do want those. But when I build you will have them back.

[D'rek]

I drew the "alpha and beta wormholes are adjacent during this turn" action card, yaaaay. I am queen of useless action cards this game. If anyone's got any actually useful ones they don't need I have plenty of TG with which to buy them.

Sorry for the delay, I'm also on holiday.

I've got a technology rider I'm willing to sell if you are interested d'rek.

Sure, why not. How about I'll use my agent on you + swap the commodities to TG in exchange for it?

Sounds good

IH ou are in strongest position to win at the moment. I can see you on 12 VP by the end of this round, Morgoth on 11VP. It could be too little too later for the rest of us.

I wish you'd tell me how, I'm struggling to see a way to get 2vp this round never mind 3!

Tatts two rounds ago: "Hey guys, IH is looking really scary, we should do something about that!" *proceeds to invade the Hacan homeworld and do nothing about IH*

Tatts now: "Hey guys, IH is still looking real scary because we never did anything about him!" *uses Reactor Meltdown on Hacan instead of on IH*

[D'rek]

And yes, it is "too little too late" for you Tatts. You yourself said the time to act was 2 rounds ago, and then you didn't. IH is speaker, he'll pick IMPERIAL next round and won't even have to wait until status phase to win. You have handed it to him on a silver platter.

Probably the only way to delay him even to next round's status phase would be for me to research Quantum Datahub Node and use it to swipe IMPERIAL from him, but frankly you can go suck a bag of dicks.

[Imperial Historian]

This game has been lacking in bags of dicks. Good to see them making a comeback.

Uh, yeeah, why didn’t you knock out one of IH’s or at least Morgoth’s space docks? I think we’re at the point in the game where ‘oh they’re my neighbour ally’ doesn’t really cut it any more.

Tatts has his eyes on the prize, he doesn't want some ships in Vega minor blocking him off.

There's nowhere those 2 crusiers could go of any value that would be blocked by Vega but not blocked by Rigel. And the system is already activated, I can't build anything there anyway. There's no justification for it whatsoever.

Hey what's all this? Tapper IH Morgoth all have 2 or more spacedocks in systems and this move would not affect them. It would Khell as construction had been played but he has a good enough situation were he can affect the big three if needed.

Dreks Hero is massive and a threat to me after what has transpired so taking out that spacedock had self interest in terms of points and protection.

Maybe my next action card can affect another player as I'm not singling out Drek alone.

Tatts right before he invades the player with the fewest VP: "I'm doing this to set myself up for a winning move against the top player later"

Tatts later: "Now that I've invaded the lowest-scoring player, I have to commit everything to continuing to bludgeon that player and can't make a move against the top player because I'm so afraid of the hypothetical consequences of my own actions"

I love how my *hypothetical* ability to build ships is more of a threat than all the players who actually already have ships

[Morgoth]

It is a common refrain from tatts. I at least have kept Imperial out of IH's hands several rounds in a row.
