Congrats on the exam pass!!

[D'rek]

The "Solve for X" kind of exam or the "that's not a tumour" kind of exam?

Yes, I've been preparing for an exam, and I took it today and passed. I'll post my move ASAP.

Well done!

[Khellendros]

D'rek, got any action cards to help with ground combat which I might purchase?

I do, but there won't be a ground combat since you have no units there, right? And also, neither of us is the active player so can't make transactions at this time.

Not right now, but when I counterattack on my go.

Edit: A flank speed or some such would be equally useful!

I'm prepared.

With what you can bring to the table I have to be.

You know, I let you do that rather than taking Mallice last go, because I thought, who knows, maybe this time Tatts will be reasonable and see the bigger picture. Never mind.

[Imperial Historian]

I was very surprised you didn't take mallice khell.

My thinking was: if I take Ang now, clearly I’m going for the own 3 attachments VP this round, rather than waiting for you to pass me Quann for next round. And if that’s the case, then obviously I’ll spend my tokens on a sudden yet inevitable betrayal of our deal this round, to the benefit of the whole table. So leave me to that.

But now I have to spend my tokens against Tatts instead.

I'm sure it would have been a great betrayal khell

[Tapper]

So, here's my dilemma.

I could burn a token and target Mecatol, see if IH is willing to burn the Ceasefire, or if he lets me try to take MR and just retakes it next turn and then uses Fleet Logistics for a Turn 1 Imperial score.

Or I could just go MAD against Khell in Ang, who, after all, sort of put me down from outsider to likely loser.

Now, the table (D'rek, cough) would advise A, not in the least because B is just suicidal and makes a Khell intervention against IH less likely, too. But... man, it's tempting.

[Tapper]

And yes, I know it is my turn.

[Tapper]

So, Khell, return my dread, pretty please with a bow on top.

Will do, you can put it into your post now if you like.

I have played this round horribly, a lot of small dumb mistakes. Maybe it's the amount of time between turns making my brain fuzzy. Maybe it's always been this way.

When I saw you had Transit Diodes, I thought, 'oh great, Tapper can just retake Wren Terra that way this round without needing to activate and move into his homeworld.' But no, you can't actually do that, because you have to control Wren Terra in the first place - I would not have played Diplo on your homeworld had I remembered that. Urrrrrggghhh.

[Imperial Historian]

I'll play your ceasefire Tapper. You are clearly a noble soul taking actions for the good of all at the expense of yourself.

It will totally not boomerang back into my face...

I will sabotage D'reks theft of one of my action cards

As it turns out, no, I don't have anything useful for you, sorry. The one I was thinking of would only work on defense.
