And it would have worked, too, if that namby-pamby hadn't gone and gotten banned. I was so hoping for a useful idiot...

Except, if the shooting war with the sixth, that means ERTC war, that means your dead. Period, Fullstop, whatever you want to call itNephtys wrote:This puts a crimp in my plans too.

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.Ace Pace wrote:Except, if the shooting war with the sixth, that means ERTC war, that means your dead.

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.Ace Pace wrote:Except, if the shooting war with the sixth, that means ERTC war, that means your dead.

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.Pablo Sanchez wrote:You people really make this far too easy for Thirdfain.

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 notRogue 9 wrote:It doesn't just benefit Thirdfain.

Pablo, if it secures my survivel, I'll hop on whatever rat infested ship Thirdfain is piloting.Pablo Sanchez wrote: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 notRogue 9 wrote:It doesn't just benefit Thirdfain.

He was on the other side then. I'm not going to go and oppose him this time out.Pablo Sanchez wrote: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 notRogue 9 wrote:It doesn't just benefit Thirdfain.

The Commonwealth de Troix-Sols is not the Ousters. For fuck's sake, they are French. While they enjoy a great deal of clout in the ERTC, they are as beholden to the Trade Commission as the lowliest Minor power in it's ranks.
