“The true horror, which none had suspected, let alone expected, was that the Mahact would be so sickeningly polite in their maniacal quest for galactic domination and enslavement of all other races.”

Why the heck do you guys keep sending lone carriers next to the Mahact?!

Tapper I'm looking to unlock my commander. Unfortunately this requires attacking and winning a fight. I'm going to attack the Rigel system but I'll only bring in a cruiser so you can retreat your carrier and I'll pay you a commodity for your trouble if you retreat. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I am not amused and it is more than an inconvenience.
We made a deal where I'd get Rigel under the stipulation I'd send only a carrier and occupy only with Infantry.
You breach that deal in almost the same breath. You go through with this, and I'll start taking what I want, when I want it and burn everything else.

Because he and I made a deal, that amongst other things saved him a dread, I might add. That he is now breaking.

I suspect he was going to do the same with me regardless of me putting down a PDS on Siig or not, and he just used that as an excuse. He's looking to hoover up easy fleet tokens and commanders, and I say we put this greedy little piggy on a spitroast between us.

Give credit to Twelve, he has tricked both Khell and Tapper into sending lone carriers into his nearby systems that he can pick off and unlock their commanders. For me to unlock mine I have to build 4 dreads, and he can just eat a ship and have that ability for himself. He's playing the damsel in distress routine, but within he is excited things are going to plan.

I think he's shooting himself in the foot, as he only had beef with D'rek until breaking deals with you guys. Now D'rek is laughing all the way as she has no direct threats

We do have a deal and I'm not taking the planets. Nothing has changed. I'm also trying to do this in a way that you also gain resources. If there was a way to unlock my commander without doing this I would love to hear it.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Khell broke the deal by placing a pds and I'm not breaking the deal with Tapper. The deal was for the planets. I didnt say anything about not trying to unlock my commander with the ships he brought in. But I also dont want to piss people off too much hence why I'm offering to do it in a way that could save his ship and gain him the planets and resources.
As far as I'm concerned the system is still his. He needed 2 actions to take them all anyway. This doesnt change anything in that regard.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Ah, I see. Well, good to see his true colours so early, I suppose.
And now he'll have his commander, so he can do surprise attacks late in a round using fleets that were already activated, so he can do all sorts of even more unscrupulous deal breaks in future rounds.

Fine by me, I will definitely contribute.

On the other hand, I'm now the only one of the 3 that Twelve hasn't stolen a CT from yet, so he's going to be gunning hard for me.

:doubt: ... else, why wouldn't you have just negotiated for that in the first place?

I still have a commander/alliance token to trade. Anyone interested?

And the deal was for the planets. I made it clear I didnt want ships or structures anywhere near my homeworld. And as of your last action you have taken the planets. My goal is to unlock my commander not to destroy or deprive you of what has been agreed upon. I am frankly offering to do this in a way that hopefully let's you keep your carrier and gain a trade good while also making it harder to unlock my commander and doesnt stop you from taking Rigel III next round. If my efforts to mitigate your ire isn't appreciated then I'll understand I'll still give you the trade good but I'll send 2 cruisers to guarantee the victory. I'm not laying claim to the planets but the same conditions apply. The system planets are yours. The space above them not.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

That is nice for you, didn't know that one existed! I don't think I'll be playing trade, but if you want to give me your commodities I'll trade them back to you.
