Another reminder to everyone - if you want to go first next round, all you need to do is buy the speaker chip from me! I don't mind going first next round, but I'm not married to the idea - I'd much rather give it to one of you, for a small fee, that is!



You have to assign the speaker chip anyway and it benefits you to go near the start.

I think that if Nico connects to me then we can trade 2:2 he'll possibly want to trade 1:1 with IH or vise versa, so if you can open trade with me that'd be cool.

I can trade 1:1 or 2:2 depending on what suits you.


Honestly, I don't really care what order I get to choose my strategy card in. I'd rather sell it to the highest bidder.

At the moment, I've got potential agreements for a 1:1 trade with IH, a 1:1 with Twelve, and a 1:1 with ItWasGnaw - that's 3 of my 6 commodities. I'm not saying I'd be against doing a 1:1 with you, but you're not an immediate threat to me at the moment, I don't think. I'm much more invested in keeping my neighbours happy, so they can shield me from the rest of the alien scum in this galaxy.

To that end, Tapper, what are you plans for that wormhole? You thinking of staying on your side of it? Are you interested in the Hacan's purple sheep?

That being said, should ItWasGnaw get out of hand, I'd certainly help fund you in shoving a nice little fleet up his backside.

Our larvae are very fond of the purple sheep. They make great breeding grounds for new Sardakk legions.
My interest in the Alpha-wormhole is mostly going towards the control of Mallice, and less so in ending up in a five-way fight for Lodor, Silvano or other nearby planets.

EDIT: so yes, I would be interested in a trade, but it needs to be under good conditions: I already have tentative agreements with Morgoth and ItGnaws that I want to honor, so we are looking on a 1-for-1 basis.

Tapper - I'm happy with a 1:1 trade of commodities.

Tatts - would be willing to do a 1:1, potentially a 2:2 if no one else wants to get some of my purple sheep?

Anyone else want a 1:1?

Then we have a deal. One space freighter load of purple sheep for our offspring to feast on, in return for a freighter full of Hit the tarmakk with the Sardakk workout videos - on VHS tapes.

Also the command pools and planets aren't updated. I've asked him to edit it, accordingly.


Twelve is up next, don't have a provisional from him.

I'll pay you 2 Trade Goods for that. Thoughts?

Blend shows Twelve two Promissory notes


Twelve - the more I think of it, the more I think a strong, game-lasting alliance between the Jol-Narr and the Hacan should happen. That second PN I showed you could be yours if you have something equally useful to give me! :D Just a thought, I can use my considerable resources to help you rule the galaxy, and you can help protect me from those less savoury elements of it!

Alright, action posted in Game Thread.


Reminder to everyone, I don't need to be your neighbour to trade with you. If you think I might be interested in making a deal with you for some reason, please, do bring it to the table! Know that I'll have 6 commodities as soon as I can activate the Trade secondary.

Another reminder to everyone - if you want to go first next round, all you need to do is buy the speaker chip from me! I don't mind going first next round, but I'm not married to the idea - I'd much rather give it to one of you, for a small fee, that is!


Note to Twelve - I would appreciate if you would stay on your side of the empty space south of Lodd Eru. Willing to trade a promissory note, in addition to the straight up commodities trading that we've already discussed, in exchange for peace with the Jol'Narr.

In exchange for peace trading and not entering the now agreed upon neutral zone I will gladly accept that second pn. The trade will commence when I use the trade action. 4 for 4 commodities correct?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I thought we had just discussed a 1:1 trade of commodities.

At the moment, I have a 1:1 agreement with IH, ItWasGnaw, and Tapper, with potential 1:1's with you and Tatts (or potentially a 2:2 with Tatts).

So, I could say too bad to Tatts and go 3:3 with you, I'd like to retain the other trades.

Sounds good - will confirm one way or another once D'rek has a chance to send me the PNs.

Khell. I've asked drek to show you a pn. If you use the strategy action tech as your first action I will give you a free replenish of your commodities and this pn and be a regular trade partner in the future. Will this be acceptable?

That's fine. I need at least 3 to 3 right away. I can get the last one with Khell later.
