Can we add player names to the banners/map? Not always easy to tell who is who!

Yeah, I will try and add them to the map.

For the banners, well most of the time it'll be you guys posting those anyway... but I can specify who I'm posting for when I do so from here onwards

Mallice on the left of the map proper - is that twelve's or something else?

It's the wormhole nexus - a system that can only be reached via the alpha or beta wormholes. But otherwise it's a totally normal system and Mallice is a normal planet, which no one has claimed yet.

Oh cool!

The spend 8 resources public objective - does that have to happen in a single round or is it cumulative?

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.

Not heard much more from you guys yet. I'm planning on taking Starpoint planet first and opening trade with you Gnaw so if you move into Vefut ii we can open that up. We can swap commodities at a rate of 1 to 1.

You can, if you wanted move through asteroid hexes, just depends on what you want to do afterwards. I don't think I'll be moving again this round.

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.

Yeah, likewise.

You have to spend all 8 resources at the moment you claim the objective.

Ok, so we have a very firm "no talk outside this thread" consensus. That'll be a rule then.

However, there is one thing you can do (and this is following the game as-played on a table): you can ask me to secretly "show" one of your promissory notes to another player. It will be public that you showed the player a PN, and if you trade one that will always be public, too, but this allows you to pass PNs without revealing to everyone else exactly which card it was, which is the same as how the game is played in-person.

[Gnaw]

Ok. So I’ve watched the video and read the book.

And it’s clear as a North Carolina red mud pond after 3 days of rain. I used to be the reader learner; apparently as I’ve gotten older I’ve become the type that learns by doing.

[Gnaw]

Anyone mind if my fellow Consul and I communicate through WhatsApp? Faster and easier than PMs.

[D'rek]

Just send me a pm saying what you vaguely want to do and I'll help you out

Gnaw, on 15 April 2018 - 07:20 PM, said:

Agree in principle. Have to confer with my fellow Consul to confirm.
Not certain about the PN. I don’t like that they can be traded to other players.

Wrong thread. Copied here and removed from the other thread.

The whole point of PNs is that they can be traded to other players... they're pointless otherwise.

[Gnaw]

Oops Sorry.
And what I mean is that Tapper can trade the PN I grant him to another player. I don’t mind giving giving player X a hold on me not certain that I want player Y to gain that hold over me.

[Gnaw]

Hmm. How many resources do we start with?

Tapper, we might be interested in trading 2 commodities rather than 1.

Khell could theoretically gain an advantage by using his technology card right now and I'd like to have the resources to use the secondary ability.

Edit: make that we would prefer to trade 2 commodities.

Nico are you going to border me this turn? I have 4 commodities to trade, not sure how many you start with.

[D'rek]

Tapper, on 15 April 2018 - 06:40 PM, said:

Since I now border the Naalu:
I offer the Naalu 1 Commodity in return for 1 of theirs.
We thereby also agree that Mehar Xull is my system, as is Zej Rajja (both border my home world). Corneeq-Resculon is your system, and I will not move ships into the empty hex next to your home system, too.

If you want to exchange Promissory Notes, we can do that - depending on which PNs.

Not a problem. Recognition of borders and the establishment of trade is most important to me.

Also moving these here to the Chatty thread.

Also note how I'm updating your posts to use the banners and to include your latest status after each action... it's growing pains right now but I expect y'all to be doing this yourself soon

Well, that's just how they work. You're not obligated to ever actually trade away PNs at any point during the game.

Just the planets in your starting home system and nothing else.

We can trade two Commodities, sure. I previously agreed to trade one to Morgoth, so I won't go higher than two.
Are we agreed?

[D'rek]

To be clear, no one actually has any commodities at the moment (hence zeroes in the "Goods: 0/x C | 0 TG" part of your statuses) but you will all have the opportunity to acquire some via the Trade primary/secondary in every round.
