Tapper said he will be passing from now on upthread if you want to put a placeholder and continue.

Seriously, what are the odds of double merchant station, yeesh. It was supposed to be just in case, I didn't actually want this!

So I didn't define a limit on our mutual commodity swap pact, but now you've gained a frankly ridiculous 25 commodities this round, I'm calling a limit I can't in good conscience continue to swap your commodities for the single TG you gave me.

Awwwwwwwww

Sorry but you'd be yelling at me to stop trading with you if you were anyone else. I'll still swap them out, but I want an additional TG.

It's okay.

[D'rek]

Third time's the charm... right?

[D'rek]

If it's ion storm I'm eating nothing but ice cream for supper as consolation

[Imperial Historian]

Well this is a frankly terrifying start.

And twelve has nicely pissed off your neighbors to distract them from you.

[Imperial Historian]

Is twelve the only other player who hasn't passed?

@Tapper - Clearly Twelve is attacking me on his next turn to finish off his CT set. Can I have your War Funding PN for the battle? Might help me score at least a little bit of damage against him. If he doesn't end up attacking me I'll give it right back to you.

Agreed.

At least make her pay one of her billion Tgs!

She washes my commodities for free. I will also note that this is my first transaction with her: I have certainly not had a hand in her ballooning to that "frankly ridiculous amount."

Fair enough I did offer to wash your commodities as well as part of the free refresh you bought.

@ IH: can you move the destroyer to MR from Abyz/Fria?

Yes? Destroyers have 2 movement.

My bad. I never noticed that... I thought Cruiser I was the only ship with an initial 2 movement.

Yep. Back then it seemed likely to be an agenda-phase only thing, whereas I already bordered D'rek.

You have the most planets, a solid economic tech base with hypermetabolism and dark energy, an awesome relic and the TG to start putting large amounts of plastic on the board without aggressing on anyone but twelve, who has pissed everyone off so you look like the good guy. It's just all very well played.

I'm surprised Twelve expected any other response.

I didn't. So I'll leave it up to the board. Here is a poll. Follow through with my threat and take D'reks homeoworld next round or no. What is is going to be?

Twelve I would love to see you try and take d'reks homeworld next round, but I expect you to fail terribly.

[D'rek]

Pfft, next round? You coward, Twelve, do it this round! I just opened up the air space over it for you.

And I have 3 commodities that no one seems to want to swap with me.

I lack infrastructure and none of the objectives are spending-based, though.

Meanwhile, you have a legendary home planet, an upgraded war sun on mecatol rex, and it seems quite peaceful relations with all your neighbours.

I'm not doing badly but you are doing better!

Pfft, all of you claiming each other to be the strongest. Yet you all exist inside those feeble, puny carapaces!
