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 didn't even notice

But you did try to jump the gun with the commodity/TG exchanges... have to wait until Tapper and Gnaw actually have the goods to trade.

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.

If there is a need to physically take the system then I could allow for a larger strike force with the following conditions. Absolutely no Dreads. No more than 3 ships, preferably only 1 cruiser but no more than 2. Looking at what Khell can place there I don't think you would need more than that to take the system. Would this still be acceptable to allow for a stand down of my pds?

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Nah, I am just at work. if you're taking it first I'll have to reconsider my plans for sure. I assumed you'd be focusing on strenghtening you rhold of Mecatol Rex.

I just don't like the idea of being cut off from it. Still, I could be willing to let Tor whatsit go uncontested if there are some assurances you could throw me.

I love how people have 'plans.' Plural. My whole approach to this game has been

1. Gather ways to make Command Tokens
2. ?????
3. Profit.

I think I did okay on 1, but I will confess that I'm stuck on what 2 ought to be.

Anyone else able to trade with me, Gnaw? 1:1 or are yours all gone?

Still, I could ~~be willing to~~ let Tor whatsit go uncontested if there are some assurances you could throw me. (I seriously doubt he'll wait that long so maybe I can get something out of this impending disaster.)

Fixed that for you Khell.

Oh. Shit. I'm so disappointed by that revelation. My approach has been:

My plans initial were to suck up to my neighbors so they don't attack me until I can defense up then try and figure out how to get points. Think I did okay with part 1 but not so sure about part 2.

There's also the interesting conondrum of
1. Listen to Morgoth and Nico, they know this game...
2. Don't listen to Morgoth and Nico, they know this game!

Yes, agreed to the 1:1 before I refresh.

Yeah, mine are gone. You snooze, you lose. Or, you know, if you’re on a Brit bank holiday, you lose.

As I noted while we were initially discussing the agreement, I don't intend to use the Production Biomes ability until later in the round, but yes, my intention is still to give you the 2TGs from that use of Production Biomes.

To make it clear, one of my racial abilities is called Production Biomes. It allows me to use a Strategic Token to exhaust the ability in order to give myself 4 TGs and to give someone else 2 TGs. So, the deal that we made was that when I use the ability, I will assign you as the person who receives the 2TGs in exchange for you not pillaging me until I use it.

So you still should not be receiving 2 TGs from me just yet. My plan is to use the ability after about 3 more turns on my part.
