This puts a crimp in my plans too. I was going to get him in a shooting war with the Sixth, then join in to take the credit and property rights. Oh well.

Except, if the shooting war with the sixth, that means ERTC war, that means your dead. Period, Fullstop, whatever you want to call it

Geez, I'm caught in a Machiavellian hell-hole. Wonderful.
According to wikipedia, "the Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle."
According to Starbound, it's a problem solvable with enough combat drugs to turn you into the Incredible Hulk.
Considering my empire has the strategic worth of a banana, I think anyone plotting over it is probably missing out on bigger things going around.

You people really make this far too easy for Thirdfain. I mean, he doesn't even have to go through motions of turning the ERTC into his patsy recruiting front, you're more than willing to do it for him.

Pfft. It's not like /I/ would be caught starting it between the two. I'd be more of gesturing for him to take a crack at the Sixth, and then watch in glee as the ERTC jumps in.

It doesn't just benefit Thirdfain. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got an ambassador to meet, a fleet to dispatch, and a few systems to conquer.

I would have thought that the previous few games would have established the Thirdfain was clever and enjoyed manipulating people (especially you) but I guess not

Pablo, if it secures my survivel, I'll hop on whatever rat infested ship Thirdfain is piloting.

He was on the other side then. I'm not going to go and oppose him this time out. Well, unless he goes really evil on me or something.
Oh, and last time he wasn't manipulating me. He manipulated Monacora and assorted idiots and hangers-on thereof. I just got steamrolled.
I personally try to not meddle around with Thirdfain. It's far safer
Anyway, is there a new map around? I'd like to see where the new players are around... Might want to come, eh, say hello

Have you considered a job in a diplomatic corps?

I should start making alternate plans for life should he get anywhere real power in my lifetime. Somewhere safe... A nice little hole in Russia I think...

Interesting observation as to Cabwi Desco: The posts which got him banned have much better grammar and spelling than his usual dreck. Or is it just me?
