Morgoth, to confirm if on my first turn I use Technology you will give me a free refresh?


Yup, that's the deal.

Anything in particular I can do with regards to a free refresh?


Nah, you're set. I appreciate our friendship and wish for it to continue.

I would suggest though that we change our trade deal to 1:1, now that we've established our borders, and you find yourself in the safe control of what looks to me to be the largest collection of systems on the board.

This armistance would involve a stand down of PDS 2 for something in both our interests so to speak.

I won’t pillage you also if you choose to parley .This should give a turn to research what you must.

By the way, in the interest of sustained friendship, I will give you a free refresh as long as you give me your word not to steal from me.

Who are you giving the free refresh to? I would appreciate one.


I am sure you would, but I don't see how that would benefit me.

Even though I gave one to you earlier? Figured you would at least teturn the favor once before cutting me off.

I still need to hear him out. With how the strategy cards are likely to be played and with Nico getting warfare I won't be able to get 2 tech this round.So if we can work out a deal where I can get my 2 tech and still accomplish my primary goals I need to hear what he has to say.

Just as a reminder to everyone, for those early trades anyway, Nico can't pillage you unless you already have 3TGs.

Also, Morgoth, I assume the fact that you have ignored my offer to do a 1:1 commodities trade with you means you're not interested? I'd very much like to put this last commodity to good use before we get too far into the round.

Are all 6 of your commodities assigned?

None of my commodities post-refresh are assigned yet.

As always, I'll likely ensure that Twelve gets a good swap outta me, but am otherwise open to swaps!

ItWasGnaw - Given I'm stuck with the Diplomacy card which means I'd go 2nd anyway, I'm thinking of holding on to the PN you gave me for now. Any issues with this?

you'd get an equal benefit from a card I chose though. I'll allow you a free refresh if you are willing to trade 2:1, otherwise I'm happy to go a 1:1

twelve, sure you allowed everyone a free refresh, and that was kind of you and I will keep that in mind when choices fall. A free refresh in turn is hardly something I think you can expect thought without any sort of previous agreement. In the end , this game is not a good vehicle for altruism. Honesty sure, I strive to be honest and dependable in all my dealings, but that's where it ends for me.

No, I mean, pre-round - you still have a commodity from last round, right? So do I - wanna swap them?

I get the free trade secondary whether you like it or not, it's my racial feature, so I'm not going to negotiate that with you.

We can discuss post-refresh commodities swaps, but I'm still going to give precedence to those around me and anyone who can/will do something about Nico.

Tapper are we trading commodities? How many? I'm up for 3 for 3 for simplicity's sake.

We said a 2:2 as standing agreement last round, and I have 1 commodity committed to Morgoth as well, making 2:2 my only option.
