Frankly, working with Twelve gets me closer to a win right now.

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

Alright, agenda phase is on. I will be placing all my votes on FOR the Wormhole Initiative. I'd like to know who else is putting their votes there to see if we have enough to ensure we win that.
My preference re: the Economic Initiative agenda is for AGAINST to win, but I don't particularly care either way. I could certainly do more with the FOR than with the AGAINST, but I think that it would still be good if AGAINST won.

Me with 10 votes FOR for the wormhole.
11 votes FOR.
Don't you have 12 votes? Or are you holding back the one for the blue tech prerequisite?
Yep.

I've offered my undying friendship but you didn't seem interested
Seriously I have a hand full of action card goodies,and I'm more than willing to add my troops to the stop twelve bandwagon. Between you, myself, Nico and anyone else who joins in I think even twelve will struggle to hold on. Just let me know what you want!

Do you have any action cards that you think may help me next round? I'll give you my trade PN for a couple of goodies? We able to do that in the Agenda phase, or do we have to use a proxy (Blend)?

I will be out for the day - annual work outing with all the usual highlights such a day brings: team building games under direction of a manager, group activities in the mud and sand, and people getting food poisoning from outdoor cooking.

Twelve and Khell that is 26 votes roughly, they both need the wormhole objective to fail, Twelve because it means I only have him to attack next round and riders are missed and tech not taken, and Khell because he's got a deal with me and other reasons. It will be interesting. I think Twelve may abstain though as he doesn't want to spend a CT

I guess losing a token to help you save your fleet might not sit well with them. Or maybe not. It didn't look to me as if Khell and twelve appreciated a gate in their backyard either.

There's pro's and cons, and I'm not bothered either way. I offered IH stuff to veto the agenda true, but i've got my plans in place should either one come to pass.

I'm honouring our deal, I will not put any votes into For the Wormhole Diective.

So here's our deal, All your votes against wormhole directive and a truce for the next round between you and I and my 3 TG's (greedy bastard) - yep? Not confirmed but that's what is on the table
Yes, that is the deal we were already discussing. But I want it to be agreed now (as I said, not interested in the other haggling you want to do). As a bonus, I'll be giving you more votes than I appear to have.
So deal?
I upheld my part of this deal Khell.

Uh, why are you posting this now? I'm not trying to get into another argument. I was confirming as people were questioning.
Besides, yesterday I was just trying to guilt you into moving the wormhole, I know we never specifically discussed it (though I do genuinely consider it aggressive), but you were not to be moved. Who knew that this game would bring out the true cold, dead-eyed Tattersail hiding beneath that warm fuzzy exterior.

What? Ohhhh, no. I put them all in the other agenda, as I thought that was the deal (that was what I initially said - I will not vote against, but I can be bribed to put all my votes in the first agenda). I thought that's what we were always discussing as I never even considered putting them in against.

Hmm, this is a pickle. Had I understood what you meant, I would never have agreed to it. And yet, I've already taken a part of our deal in the trade goods, and it now looks very clear what you meant. I was blinded to it because it was so far from my consideration and I thought that was understood from my initial proposal.
I will understand if you want to break the truce part.

We'll see, if you reneged on the deal that's part of the game too but people will see you break your deals. Nothing I can do about it right now in any case.

This was genuinely an unintentional renege. We were talking about two different things but the final 'letter' of what we discussed sides with you.
