But, sure why not. Bliss and I can work something out I think.

I am expecting this to be a genuinely very good system, and that you will place it where you promised, and if unable, at an other advantageous position for me.

We can consider this an early, friendly overture, one hivemind to another.


I'm always open to friendliness since I stil don't understand what I'm doing.

Ah I have misunderstood this placement rule I don't place the 4th tile I place tile 4. Hmm maybe should have looked at this more. Ah well hope I don't get too screwed


That wasn't' how it worked? So you can essentially place the 4th tile anywhere you want?

No, each of you have received 5 tiles. You will then take turns placing tiles in the numbered order on the current map in the OP.

So Khell will place any one of his 5 tiles on hex # 1, then Bliss will place any of her 5 tiles in hex # 2, and so on and so forth. When it gets to Tapper, he'll place a tile on hex # 9, then he'll place a second tile on hex # 10, and it goes back down to Khell from there.

Well, we'll have a problem as neighbours quite quickly, because one of my traits is gaining trade goods, and one of yours is stealing trade goods. So unless I get your racial promissory note which means you don't pillage me so long as I don't attack you, the only option I will have is to go after you, because I will get nowhere fast if you continually steal my trade good every time I get it.

I mean, Bliss can just choose not to pillage you whenever she feels like it/to keep you on your best behaviour. She doesn't *have* to pillage you every time.

@Bliss so if you ever decide to trade Khell your Promise of Protection card make sure to charge him a ton for it :)

Don't fall for D'rek's evilness Bliss. The beauty of Promise of Protection is that you have a permanent peaceful neighbour in me. That's what you get out of it. Because if I do much as activate one of your systems, you can start stealing from me again. Meanwhile, you could still attack me whenever you felt like it.

It's not like anything bad happens to you if you do decide to attack her when you have Promise of Protection. It just lets her start pillaging you again. So you could enjoy building up peacefully with Promise of Protection and all the TGs you get uncontested, and then immediately turn around and attack with the ships you bought from them.

Don't trust anyone, but I'm across the map from you so it's not like I can extort anything out of you even if I wanted to, while Khell is right next door. Have fun with that!

I could, but it's not like the Mentak stay static in all that time. Bliss would also have the time and opportunity to build up her strength and make herself an extremely unattractive proposition to attack - unlike the picture you paint of her staying in exactly the same position as at the start of the game :D

Easier for her to build herself up if she takes some of your plentiful trade goods, though

I wouldn't count on it...

(And if you're going to propose to him to let you have tile 31... I also wouldn't count on it... but then again if you're Muaat you can just park a War Sun there and what's he gonna do about it, I guess)

edit I take it back, he's here!

Are you going to be as trustworthy a neighbor as I suspect you will? And what race would you suggest at this point? You and Morgoth control my path to Rex.
