Tatts, how did Blend trade a trade good with you when he gave his only TG to me at the beginning of the round?

He also said he'd trade Speaker chip to me but liked Gnaw's PN better.
He said he'd trade a measly TG with me but liked Khell's offer better.
Seeing a pattern?
How many commodities would you trade with me this round to get a free trade deal?

To be fair, I made a couple of different offers to you for a Speaker Chip trade, but you're being too greedy for my tastes, plus Gnaw's PN is just more useful for what I want to do.
And re: the trade with Khell, yeah, I did like Khell's offer better, because I actually made a profit from it.
The pattern is that the Hacan always go where the profit is.

Well he said he use it if I research a green tech and their was one I was eying so there is a good chance I'll get it if I can get 2 techs this eound.
For the record, this is definitely still my plan.
My preference would obviously be for you to research Hyper Metabolism if you have the pre-reqs, but frankly, any of them that I don't currently have (i.e. any but Neural Motivator) is fine by me. I just want the prereq for my second racial tech. If you're planning to research both Dacxive Animators and Hyper Metabolism, please let me know so that I can make sure D'rek knows which one I want to copy.
Twelve and I are partners, I have no interest in trying to screw him over in any way, let alone outright lying to him.

Ah treachery. No more deals with the Hacan. It's all good. I'll swap the post back.

I mean, we had never finalized a deal, and frankly Khell was offering me something more attractive.
The Hacan will always take the best deal.
I get it, you want to suck up to your neighbours. We Ghosts have LONG memories. We will no longer negotiate with
Obviously you consider us no threat as we are light years away.
Please, I know you're not as far away as it seems, what with your racial abilities to jump from any wormhole to any wormhole. The Hacan are a shrewd people.

Not doing 2 green but if I get 2 techs then I will grab hyper metabolism for sure.

Have you noticed the fleet bordering that system? There is no deal to be struck here. That system is mine. We can make deals to stay peaceful, to cooperate, to decide on other systems to split, I am very much in support of that. I have commodities to trade, and PNs to offer. But the other side of that deal is not Arinam-Meer.

Gnaw/Nom we are now bordering, would you be willing to swap commodities/PN's? Are you averse to going second in picking strategy next round?
I will grant you the trade secondary if you let me take the speaker token and I will trade you commodities. Is there anything in particular that you'd like to take first in strategy?
Blend I will send you another PN and see if it interests you. If not then maybe we can work something around the original PN I sent you, like that PN for 2 TG's and the speaker token.

Mmmm, your fleet is very impressive. Lots of big bucks, very shiny. I wonder what it's going to fight in space? Certainly not me, I have no fleet to fight. You could just...buzz around, I suppose.
But anyway, I'm teasing you. I still would like you to tell me what you're thinking of exchanging for that PN, as it sounds like we will border each other imminently.

What do you need to get 2 techs? More TGs? Plans have gone slightly sideways for me, I may be willing to spot you a couple TGs to ensure you can get it.
