Cosmic Encounter - PBP: Deep Space Water

So the choice you're asking me to make here is to sabotage myself and thereby not win the game, forever tarring myself from allying with the laser or reactor in anything because it would be a really stupid self-defeating move, after using up people's good cards, so that I can gain some kind of moral high ground?
It would be unlikely that I would win via cruise ship in the next few turns unless you decide to recolonise yourself (knowing that it would cause me to win the game alongside nobody else), and the reactor flare is still in the game meaning that any future random defensive encounter with the yin-yang still ends with this same deadlock I intentionally set off except that this time he'd be more likely to win (again, without me).
Maybe you don't have shit-all for cards and I could ally with you and win but we'd basically have played all of our reinforcements and the Laser still has their flare and would also probably join the defence to stop me from winning in revenge unless also invited, which you've implied you wouldn't want to do.

...then again do the tourists want to live in a galaxy that they chiefly share with lasers and radioactive waste?

...then again my two fellow allies would probably be a little justified in being IRL angry with me if I threw the game now >_>

If you had said pretty much any of this when I'd asked if anyone had any persuasive rhetoric to put forward I'd probably have gone with you but right now I think I'd kind of feel more like a dick for stringing people along than I do for forcing the game to end in a three-way tie.
Besides, neither of them did anything particularly unpleasant to me! Well, besides sending me plagued grain for absolutely no reason.



I'm going to play Reinforcements +2!
On my side.
Because I'm a disgusting winner.
