Khell, you and I haven't had as much early contact as I expected, but we're getting very close to each other now. From what I can tell we both have several options that do not include fighting each other, and to be honest I worry that you'll leave the University alone to tech into high heaven. They border the Hacan whom have no reason not to turtle at gore themselves on trade goods. In addition, Nico's movements places IH on the defensive, which means as of right now the two races that need time to dominate the map will be left alone.

Is there a suggestion in there somewhere? Because if there is, I might be willing to do something in exchange for keeping the peace between us.

No. He just wants to throw people at blend and my way so they can completely ignore the fact that he is almost as scary as Tapper militarily.

On the other hand, neither of us will be easily fulfilling tech objectives, or be as versatile in adding to our planetary productions, like Twelve or Blend respectively. We're all good at something.

@D'rek:

Did you show my PNs to twelve as well?

@Blend:

Thoughts?

No, as I did not read your PM very thoroughly. I will do so now.



Khell shows Twelve 2 PNs.

[twelve]

Nope. She must have missed you asking to send them.

I mean, I'm not surprised that Morgoth and Tapper are the ones that are already starting to look our way with hungry faces. Neither of them said hardly anything to us during Round 1 - it seemed pretty obvious they'd be heading our way soon enough.

Frankly, I said it early game, and I'll say it again, I'm willing to channel my considerable resources into having them attack other people, and I'll continue working with Twelve to ensure that we can do that.

I.e. if I can get Morgoth to take a bite out of you instead of us, well...

Blend, I am happy to accept. What do you want in return? I can provide trade goods or another PN.

I think the real question here is what do you want to give me for it?

What kind of PNs you got? I wouldn't mind something interesting from your PN pile!

I'll consider TGs as well.

And if you don't think the PN I showed you is worth giving me a PN, I also have four Action Cards I can use to sweeten the pot.

I think the one I'll be offering in a moment is a very good deal indeed, and worth an additional, single action card of your choosing. On the word of honour that you do not trade it away.

I don't know, the only reason I'd really want that PN is to trade it off to someone else. My techs aren't very delicious, and aren't going to be for the foreseeable future.

[twelve]

Khell I have those pns as well. What are you looking for these? A straight swap of one or both pns or did you want something else?

[twelve]

Blend. When are you going to use that promissory note I gave you? I could really use it for trading purposes.

[Tattersail_]

All you chatty neighbours, negotiating good things and having the time of your lives. Us Ghosts must be see through, hardly any interaction with Gnaw/Nom or Nico. Maybe a polite exchange with Nico here and there but that's it. You're all awfully polite to each other.

That, Blend, is not exactly true. I have communicated clearly where my ambitions end (at Mallice).

Sure, but I believe that about as much as I believe the Nekro Virus don't want to destroy anyone's ships.

OH!!! LoL, I hadn't even noticed that you had sent me some.

Well, they're certainly PNs. The second one interests me more than the first one.

What you looking for in return? I've got Action Cards, I've got PNs, hell, I even have a number of commodities heading my way!

[Blend]

I guess we should be talking about some commodities swaps too.

Who needs me to swap their commodities this round? Aside from Twelve, with whom I will swap as many or as little as he needs, I'm pretty much open to negotiation!

You could have it for a trade good now and the speaker token as and when you pop the politics strategy card.

Unfortunately I can't give the speaker token to the person holding the speaker token.

Oh yeah! Lol. Ok, how about one trade good now and an action card of your choice.

My preference is actually to ask you to NOT do trades this round with someone else, rather than the action card, but I doubt you'd agree to that.

Consider it this way. That PN is a permanent incentive for me to look elsewhere in all my planning. I have played the Hacan before, I know how much tech you can claim from simply being able to afford buying one every round. Now though, moving in your direction will actively limit my development.
