Blend/Tatts I'd be willing to enter into a 3 way trade for action cards if you want. Also blend I'd quite like the action card you took off me back :lol:


I asked this a while back, if there's anything you'd be able to help me with.

Hmm, I just remembered, when my action was sabotaged, I could choose to just throw away the command tokens I would have used in lieu of taking another action. Couldn't twelve have done the same thing, or was this a different type of situation?

Also, this is your main thing isn't it, action cards. What did Blend say, 1 TG to broker a deal?

Problem with this is that technically I can't show Tatts or you action cards that aren't my own, so you could show me action cards, but I wouldn't be allowed to privately show them to you as they wouldn't be my action cards.

And IH - I really like this action card, I'd really like to keep it! :lol:

So for the action card you showed me, you want wormhole placement? Or one of my action cards?


Honestly, of the two action cards you showed me, the first one is more interesting to me. But to be totally honest, I'd much rather have the Wormhole placement.

We will see what Gnaw does, if the ships move I won't need the card.

I'll speak to you about it soon.

My offer of my Trade Agreement in exchange for the wormhole placement still stands, so keep that in mind as well.

Different situation.

Your was an AC that had to be played during a Tactical Action. Sabotaging the card cancelled its effect, but the Tactical Action itself was not cancelled and had to be completed. Since there wasn't any tactical actions you wanted to do without that card you did a tactical action in the Supernova - activate the system and nothing else.

In Twelve's case its a component action from an AC that is played "as an action" so sabotaging the card stops it from being played, and hence leaves Twelve with no action yet performed in his turn, thus he must make a different action.

I realize that, but there's literally only one action card that I have and am willing to give up (even in exchange for your Trade Agreement) that he can even use, and he has already said he's not interested in it right now, but might be later.

Very sorry, but I can't do what I don't have the cards to do.

Coolio, thanks for the explainer!

What if I gave an action card to Blend to give to Tatts? Blend gets paid Twelve's TA PN as payment for being the middleman. I get Tatts' AC, whatever it is. And in exchange for this service, I get to be left alone for the remainder of the round by everyone involved (Twelve, Blend, Tatts).

I've no issues with the above agreement as there's nothing else I can do to Khell this round anyway. If there were, I'd definitely NOT be taking that deal, but there it is...

In case Twelve is unsure, the AC I would give Tatts is a particularly harmless component action.

Might be fine Khell but I'm going to try a different approach for a moment with Tatts.

Tatts, you want Abyz Fria right? I'm okay with that. Will you allow me to leave the system first without a fight? I needed the space port for my secret objective. With that done I don't need it anymore. This way you can have it without losing any ships. I don't think your odds are as good as you think but I'd rather not fight at all

I can't continue to leave my system open to the elements so you'll need to wait another turn I'm afraid.


Tatts, may I borrow New Albion? If Nico will play Diplomacy next round and then Morgoth Technology thereafter.

Instead of hemming me in at the start why didn't you just ask? I would've moved my ships and it'd have been easier on us both.

Now I only have 1 tactical action left to me.

Do you need New Albion this turn or can I move my ships out start of next turn. Gracefully
