Oh, lol! I was frantically searching through everything trying to find something that matched the initials GF. No wonder it didn't make sense - they're called Infantry on the race sheets.

Ah sorry guys. I had to go back to the office rather than straight home and it turned into a long evening at work. Making decisions now!

Tapper - you sent med a PN, but I cannot remember what it is you want in return? I would suggest like for like, it is a solid trade I think.

Also, as we are neighbours I suggest we commit to the trade we already agreed upon, 2 of my commodities for 1 of yours.

Tapper wanted your Ceasefire PN in exchange for it


Also Morgy, I believe something is off on your command tokens in your action post:

You were at 2T | 3F | 2S before.


Diplomacy - refresh Daemon
Construction - No action
Trade - refresh commodities
Warfare - No action
Technology - Exhaust Daemon for 3 command tokens, placing one in tactical and two in strategic


Trade is free. You pay 2 CTs for activating Diplomacy and Technology secondaries, then you gain 3 CT. So you should only be up by 1 from your previous 2T/3F/2S. You've got an extra one in your stated 3T/3F/3S, should probably be 3T/3F/2S.

A yes, you are right. I forgot to count the technology token.

Eh. I should double check a definition here. Control is == having infantry on the ground not just ships in the air, right?


Controlling a planet is, as Blend said, having infantry or a control token on the planet.

There's also controlling a system which means:

{a} if the system has any planets: you control every planet in the system and no other player has ships in the system (it's a bit ambivalent, but we'll play with that if you control all the planets and there are no ships at all in the system you still control the system)

{b} if the system has no planets: you (and only you) have ships in the system (in the middle of combat, no one controls the system)

Tapper, I do not agree that the Ceasefire PN is worth what you are offering me in return. It is a powerfull tool, and something that can be sold on to other players and cause me great problems later on. A like for like on the other hand provides us both with an incentive to leave the other alone.

Nope, I'm wrong after all. I wasn't counting Logistics. Forgot that that token removed from the board goes back in your pools rather than just into the reinforcements.

I would think it an even and good trade, but per its own text I couldn't accept it to have a long term benefit until after I get control over Centauri-Gral.

I am happy to trade your Ceasefire for said PN now, then trade you back the Ceasefire for your version of that PN after we switch control of C-G.

Oh, Tapper's here after all. I already posted your provisional :p

If you guys work out a PN exchange we can add it in.

D'rek should I wait for Nico to see if he is going to want to exchange PN's? He hasn't responded yet but I can post the rest of my turn.

Yeah, he never answered you about that, did he? It's your call whether to proceed or not. His turn is shortly after you, so he could take you up on it and exchange them on his turn.

ItWasGnaw - is it safe to say that you're not interested in the PN that I showed you guys? Still looking for 3 TGs if you want it and can afford it!

Tatts - I thought I was going to be doing a 1:1 with Tapper, but it seems he has already tapped himself out, so I have a commodity up for grabs. You wanna do a 2:2 instead of a 1:1?
