Well this is a frankly terrifying start.

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

How so?

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.

Well she started painting the target on my back from the get go. And with her play with the Mentak I'm not letting her get away with the huge economy and plan to curb her as quickly as possible. And frankly the only one that should be annoyed, not even pissed, is Tapper and I did try to pay amends for my faction needs. Khell broke our agreement and D'rek has been a greedy bully.

I do like to point out that Morgth, Tatts and you are doing your typical circle jerk trying to keep all the focus centered on the other side of the map while you all quietly go about your business. When will people get wise to this BS and punish you all for that style of play? I think that is why I get targeted in that regard because I am wise to your style of playstyle so you all deflect the attention towards me. Moreso this game for sure as I picked a hot spot of activity but it is still the same play book.

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

I don't have a flank speed. If you give me one I'll gladly do it.

[Imperial Historian]

Morgoth, tatts and I will continue our very effective circle jerk thanks

I will swap out your commodities in the agenda phase though

It'll cost you 9 TG or equivalent.

Morgoth I'll swap alliance tokens with you if you agree to leave me wellon and keep your units out of the blank space next to my homeworld and the supernova.

I expect to unlock my commander later this turn.

I don't particularly disagree with any of this (though how you're supposed to punish others for working together I'm not sure) - but at the moment it's a case of if the target is on you, then it's not on me.

Ya we're all aware but what can you do. When we reach end-game whichever two are not quite as in-the-lead will bemoan all the exchanges they've made that make it so hard for them to contribute towards stopping the one most in the lead, just like the last few times.

So then lets work together or at least not against each other. If you agree to not pds me anymore I won't try and take the pds planet off of you and we can exchange supports. You can go play with Tatts and I can play with D'rek.

How does that sound?

I'll exchange supports if you agree to let me fire the PDS till I take down one of your fighters (to make up for taking my Commander and one of my Carriers), and you give me your votes on an agenda of my choice.

@ 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.

To be fair I spent an awfully long time convinced destroyers had 1 movement as well!

[Khellendros]

D'rek, I've just realised that you went into the alpha wormhole asteroid belt (you didn't call it that ) - does our agreement extend to automatic PDS fire?

Oh, I didn't realize you had a PDS on Lodor, too.

We never specified earlier, but I think that would be mutually beneficial for us. I am going to try and build up some PDSs on Atlas and Ashtroth, and getting PDS2 would be a no-brainer to help resist Twelve.

I agree. I might need at some point to get access to the wormhole, and I hope you’ll be amendable to an agreement at some point regarding that.

I totally missed Khell's PDS on Lodor as well - Khell, let me know if you want me to fire it.

If I’d realised at the time then maybe I would have - carriers are always great to have but annoying to spend resources on - but as it’s been another turn since I think just leave it.

And D’rek I’ll deffo consider your PDS ceasefire suggestion.

If you only fire when there is a fighter available and 5 votes as my counter.

Happy to agree to the former. But still all your votes - but not on anything directly harmful to you is my counter counter.
