Morgoth and ItGnaws - I would like to set up some sort of scheme to keep us in the top half spots for the Speaker token for a while longer - without it falling to me allthe time to take Politics. Are you guys game?


Oh, I likes that idea.
Guess that means morgoth or I take it next?



Preferably one of you, yes. Speaker to you this round and you taking Politics next, promoting Tatts to Speaker is the easiest way to success, but I think it's important the three of us plan.


I'm agreeable to this. First and last pick is not bad at all.

Glad to hear! Means we essentially have a rotation that can only improve in quality if the Nekro are prepared to participate in occassionally taking the Politics card, like any species with the intelligence and reasoning of a biological being would.


We are indeed a collection of decomposing cells and waste products just like you. We are perfectly pleased with the plan as stated.


Would you be amenable to doing the politics card this next time? I would really like to have construction next. I’ll take politics the next time around.


Yeah, I can go for that. Still up for that 1:1 trade?

I still have this 1 commodity that I would love to swap before it comes back around to me.

Morgoth just sorta never really answered me when I tried to clarify our deal.

Huh, yeah that must've passed me by. The week end was rather busy. I don't really see the advantage of such a deal, so I'm not accepting that.

24 weekday hours and no show. I think that's enough. I'm going to take his turn for him.

Edit: Done. Now over to Gnaw



Except it was a holiday in the UK. Holiday, beach trip, and a friend's birthday.

If no one minds I am going to edit the move D'rek did for me. They are not massive changes so shouldn't affect anything for anyone else. It was fairly close to what I was thinking of doing.


I'll allow some minor changes, but frankly every single other player managed to send it at least some sort of provisional or idea of their plans in the last five days and you didn't, so don't expect any such guarantees in the future (especially if several other turns have since gone past). It's only round 3, we're trying to finish this before we all die of old age unlike the last Eclipse, remember?

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

If I refresh on my turn, I can do 1:1 for the old commodity right? Then when you refresh you can also trade again with me 1:1?

Hey twelve, I am considering making a claim to Tar'Mann, though with a minor and non-threatening force. I would be happy to both trade and provide a free refresh for you, if you chose not to use your pds when I activate that system.

I can deactivate My pds if you only bring 1 transport and infantry to claim that system for a free trade refresh. Are these terms acceptable.

Nico, who are you going to trade goods with? Need to swap any with me? I could do either 2:2 or 1:1

Blend are all yours assigned or would you like to go for 2:2?

Gnaw/Twelve would either of you like to trade 1:1?

Im pretty sure blend and I won't be able to trade this round as we will be both using each others trade agreement pns so won't have any commodities to exchange.

Hey D'rek, I had forgotten that politics had been played. I edited my post now to add the secondary, seeing as how no one have played since. Hope that's ok!

I'm trying to do a deal here. go away! You are ruining it for me. now I have to allow him to bring a larger force to get the free refresh.

Morgoth, anyway we can still salvage a deal now that his high imperial majesty went and ruined my first proposal?

Yeah, let's rather specify a minimal sized fleet? Enough that I can hold the planet, but nothing that will be able to threaten your dreadful armada of death.

hahah, a little back and forth here I guess. A deal is a deal, but if the state of the threat changes I hope you might be amendable to a larger force. At any rate, the deal does not depend on that last part either way.

Now when you say 'hold', do you mean 'take from me'?

I can take it on this go, then if Morgoth still wants it, he might be able to forcibly take it from me, but he will lose his Support for the Throne VP for a 1/1.
