Gnaw/Nom if we create a border in the system I mentioned then we can trade commodities 1 for 1.

Nico if you want to exchange PN's then that'd be cool and gives you options seem as you are quite near a wormhole. Morgoth has already stated he would rather attack players as far away as possible and is being friendly with both Khell and Tapper for now. You can hold my PN as a deterrent.

Thoughts?

Twelve similar offer to you regarding my PN, as you look quite limited in your movement. I like the look of your PN but it depends on what you'd research first. We can discuss that when it comes closer to you making a decision.

Are we even playing with PNs? And if so, where can I see them?

Yes we will be, and i've been google searching them

this link has a list of them I think

PN's

To Gnaw and Itwaes:

The Envoy of the Sardakk offer you a pact.

1. Corneeo-Resculon is yours,
2. Zej Rajja and Mehar Xull are mine;
3. You stay out of Sardakk space and we stay out of Naalu space;
4. I will not move ships into the empty hex between Zej Rajja and Mesculon as that could threaten your homeworld;
5. We trade 1 commodity with one another each round.

Agreed-upon borders and mutually beneficial trade will make the N'orr strong. And a strong Sardakk N'orr will look for opportunities far away, instead of coveting our neighbours possessions.

Sounds like Tapper thinks you weak Gnaw.

He gets better of resources with those planets.

I on the other hand extend friendship and movement.

I want Star Point because that's right by my homegate, and possibly plan on taking Mansa for one turn to get the yellow tech.

How many commodities do you start with?

In Sardakk society, it is extremely rude to meddle in private negotiations, especially when they concern territory next to one's own termite hill, which are therefore paramount to the tribe's safety.

[Nicodimas]

Tatts I accept your terms for an early game parley, I will take thee racial promissory note and offer you commodities a one for one, or three way trade if D’rek so alllows. I will offer a cease of any pirating until hostilities are forth established...as equal barter.

(D’rek: for the sake of streamline should we be PMing next person up after each action?? we usually nudge next person up in heavy board games—also is PMing of alliance goals allowed we usually allow cells phones on this game due to time between turns, however some houses ban the idea of this)

[D'rek]

Sharing of Secret Objectives is absolutely not allowed by any means.

Aside from that... you guys can discuss what you would prefer. I'm okay with the idea that you guys are allowed to PM each other privately and such as long as you all agree to it.

[Morgoth]

I prefer communication to be here to be honest. Boardgames are not ment for secret communication, it’s all about the social fun of arguing over the table.

[Tattersail_]

I'm not okay with pms for strategy/alliance etc because it breaks the spirit of the game.

Pming next person who's turn it is should be okay.

Obviously Gnaw can see what I said for himself 😁 i was merely pointing out I'll be more friendly with my neighbors. He hasn't stated what he'd like to do yet

I'm open to trading goods with you, the pn exchange may need to happen a different round depending on Twelve's response.

Same with me.

[D'rek]

It's not like there any actual alliances in the game that need coordinating anyways. Any cooperation will be shaky at best.

[Gnaw]

The Consul Gnaw has been busy with food rehab homework. Open to any and all discussions and pacts. But need to understand more what we’re entering into.
I’ll be more informed in a few hours. Day is over in 2 more.

[D'rek]

Alright folks, your homeworlds have been populated:

Spoiler

For home systems with multiple planets, I tended to put the PDSs and Space Docks on whichever planet had more resources. Let me know if you want them moved to a different planet. For Infantry, same thing, though bear in mind that almost all of you are going to pick up all or almost all of your Infantry into Carriers in the first round so it might not matter at all.

[Blend]

Alright, so it looks like I'm wedged between IH and Twelve.

IH - if you leave the hex with Ensapta alone, I'll leave Teq'uran and Torkan alone.

Twelve - what are your thoughts on Lodor? I'd like to eventually take it, but would be willing to allow you free movement through the hex for 1:1 commodities trade?


I think we're waiting on Twelve to choose his Strategy card, yes?

[Blend]

By the way, D'rek, there are 9 players, but 8 strategy cards, right? What happens to player 9?

There are nine strategy cards in this game.

[Blend]

I'd be willing to pay someone who hasn't chosen their strategy card yet 1 commodity to take the Trade card. Any takers?

Scratch this - I just realized there are 9 strategy cards and only 9 players, so it doesn't matter. No commodities for you!

Huh? I see that Tapper has taken Leadership, Morgoth has taken Logistics, Khell has taken Technology... That means Twelve chooses next, then me, right?

Or are you just saying nope cause we're not at the strategy phase yet?

Wow.... Brain fart on my part. Sorry! I was going off the rules that I was reading - where'd the 9th card come from, aren't there usually only 8?
