Khell has said he's putting his votes on the other agenda, so if he was telling the truth, that means that we're down to 27 potential votes AGAINST the Wormhole agenda, which is 1 less than FOR if we all actually put the votes we said we'd put there...

I'd still be willing to assign my Production Biomes next round to buy a couple of extra votes on the FOR side of that agenda, just in case there's some treachery. Anyone interested?

I would also like to confirm a couple of deals that I tried to make last night:

Twelve - I really want that action card you showed me. If you're not interested in the one I showed you, would you take the 2 TGs from my Production Biomes for it instead?

Gnaw - I know you said you want to have your Naalu token this round for yourself, but I'll reiterate that I'm willing to give you my trade agreement with a promise to refresh this round and a non-agression pact with you for this round for it. I've a plan for this round, and I'd really like to be at the top of the round to ensure I can do what I want to do before the opportunity is lost. If this isn't enough, is there something else I can do to sweeten the pot?

Sorry no. But if you want me to use it for you the offer is on the table.


I now see what you were saying here... It probably WOULD work better if we worked in tandem for this. Particularly if you are right before me in initiative order.

Alright, you keep the card, and if you're willing to play it for me where I ask you, I'd be willing to give you the 2 TGs from Production Biomes in this upcoming round. How does that sound?

Wait - IH has 3 space docks already built, that means he's out of Space Dock tokens, right? Doesn't that mean he can't build another one anyway?


Huh, I had not realised that we had a limit on the number of each unit we could build but that makes total sense.

So yes I can't build another space dock. I guess I can't move it either?

I guess the rider is played now unless I can discard it instead of my regular discard Drek?

Chalk it up to the learning experience.


You only have 3 "plastic" space dock pieces, but you can still choose to use the card effect to build one - if you do, you'll have to destroy one of your existing space docks to free up the plastic piece to place the new one.

(Same goes for anytime someone builds a ship and they don't have any pieces left to build it with)

So deal made then?

D'rek, is it possible to do this trade now, during the agenda phase?

Blend - 6 votes
Khell - 12 votes
Morgoth - 11 votes
IH - 11 votes
Tapper - 12 votes
Tatts - 7 votes
Twelve - 17 votes (!)
Gnaw - 11 votes
Nico - 3 votes


-----

If myself, Gnaw and Tapper throw all our votes at FOR the wormhole agenda, that makes 6+12+11 = 29 votes
IH can't vote on it, so that leaves...
12+11+7+17+3 = 50 votes that could go otherwise...

So, Khell, Morgoth, Tatts, Twelve, Nico - what are your plans?

Morgoth can't vote and with me putting everything on the economic agenda you guys get your for vote to go through regardless of what everyone else is doing.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Sure. Give them to me so I can't sway the vote.

I'll do it for the action card as Nico would get half of trade goods even though I want the trade goods more.

At work so shouldn't even be texting. But whatever. I'm willing to use the card when and where you want Blend just let me know and I'll pull the trigger. I'll gladly take the 2-1 trade good for the service of using it on your behalf. (Damn pirates)

Yeah, I'm working through possibilities at the moment...

Would you be willing to throw 1 vote on FOR wormhole, trade the Action Cards, AND I'll give you the Production Biomes? I know that means only 1 TG for you when I use it, but it's still a TG.

If you'd be willing to do that above, I'd be able to use the Naalu token to go first, then use the action card immediately and do what I would be using that action card to do at the same time.

Thoughts?

I am in no way desperate, I was just trying to figure out the best way to play it properly.
