Mine is correct.

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

I would also like to confirm a couple of deals that I tried to make last night:
Twelve - I really want that action card you showed me. If you're not interested in the one I showed you, would you take the 2 TGs from my Production Biomes for it instead?
Gnaw - I know you said you want to have your Naalu token this round for yourself, but I'll reiterate that I'm willing to give you my trade agreement with a promise to refresh this round and a non-agression pact with you for this round for it. I've a plan for this round, and I'd really like to be at the top of the round to ensure I can do what I want to do before the opportunity is lost. If this isn't enough, is there something else I can do to sweeten the pot?

Fuck it. Ok.
And if you come through that wormhole at me my mission this game will be to end you...
Wow, I really didn't think I'd get it from you.
So deal made then?
D'rek, is it possible to do this trade now, during the agenda phase?
Yes, you can trade PNs in the agenda phase.

My Trade Agreement PN, a promise to refresh my commodities this round, and a 1-round pact of non-agression in exchange for the Naalu token PN.

Sorry no. But if you want me to use it for you the offer is on the table.
I now see what you were saying here... It probably WOULD work better if we worked in tandem for this. Particularly if you are right before me in initiative order.
Alright, you keep the card, and if you're willing to play it for me where I ask you, I'd be willing to give you the 2 TGs from Production Biomes in this upcoming round. How does that sound?
Cool I like this better. I assume you want me to use it as my first action but if you get zero initiative I don't see how I can go before you.
Yeah, I'm working through possibilities at the moment...
Would you be willing to throw 1 vote on FOR wormhole, trade the Action Cards, AND I'll give you the Production Biomes? I know that means only 1 TG for you when I use it, but it's still a TG.
If you'd be willing to do that above, I'd be able to use the Naalu token to go first, then use the action card immediately and do what I would be using that action card to do at the same time.
Thoughts?
No vote for but I'll trade the action card for the 2 trade goods and because you will have to discard an action card anyway, any card you don't really want would be nice but not necessary.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Well, unless I can count on you for one vote, then we might as well go back to you playing the Action Card on your turn in exchange for Biomes as I won't be able to do what I had hoped by having the card in my hand. It's basically gonna mean that I traded for the Naalu token for nothing, but whatever, I can save it for another round.
Are you planning to vote for everyone to get 5TGs on the Economic Initiative?

Why do you need the one vote? I'm sure you have enough already for it. If I thought my votes were needed I would add my weight to it no problem but I don't think you do and I don't want Morgoth to have access to any of my tech if I can help it.

Because I want to keep Thibah for a tech pre-req for the research, but if I don't use the Thibah vote, we may very well be tied for the wormhole vote.
I hadn't really thought of Morgoth's tech thing, though...
If you're putting all your votes on the Economic Initiative and so is Khell I guess it would probably be safe to do that anyway...

Alright, alright..
So, Twelve:
I trade an Action Card to you in exchange for the one you've shown me and will give you the 2TGs from Production Biomes next round. Agreed?
Gnaw:
I give you my Trade Agreement PN, a promise of non-agression for one round, and promise to refresh my commodities in exchange for the Naalu token PN which I promise to use in the upcoming round. Agreed?
