Yeah, probably a good idea to wait but its 50 50 between this or sarween tools.

You can change your mind until game actually starts. Once it starts, then your choice is your choice.

Who gets to put down the tiles next to my homeworld? If possibly maybe work out some quid pro quo?

We'll probably have to wait until tomorrow for Tapper unless he's left his choice with Blend.

He has not, but I've message him to let him know it's his turn. If he's around, hopefully he'll pop on!

D'rek, if you want to come up with something that would be mutually beneficial in our relationship that would be cool. I already have ideas.

Ah yes, the Saar well remember this sort of 'arrangement'. And next thing you know, our homeworld is gone - poof! - and all we have left are regrets and rampant alcoholism.

Well, obviously I get 39 and you get 25. Other than that, not sure we have much influence on our respective zones in tile placement. Looks like I'll be placing #3, which is pretty much equally between us. I could put a blank there so we don't fight over it? Or if Gnaw is up for it we could do a 3-way thing of I put something good in #3 and you get it, you give Gnaw something good in #30, and Gnaw gives me something good in #24.

Looks like Tapper puts down 27 AND 28... so in your case hopefully he's not upset about being stuck with C...?

Well crap. I pick Winnu. And I guess I pick the less crappier of my two choices F.

Crap. I get the most duplicitous, backstabbing player next door.

Well, he wants to go straight to Mecatol Rex, and you get to place tile #13, so... drop a supernova in his path?

Counterproductive. If I block his way he's even more likely to fuck me over.

I’m depending upon Tapper to do that in revenge for giving him the crappiest spot on the board.

Well then who gets to place tiles next to C? if it's not too late to switch that is?

I would assume not. You were the last to choose...

You do also have 41 right next to you placed by Morgoth, and you're placing 44 right next to him, so that could be a good deal for you.

The two hexes next to C are placed by Bliss and IH.

I had 2 crappy spots to pick from so I'm not exactly thrilled with what I ended up with.

Morgoth. Looks like we each get to place a tile next to each other. (Thanks for the map Gnaw!) I'll put a plant tile next to your starting home world if you do the same in return. Interested?

Well, the thing is most people are going to have 3 or 4 hexes with planets on them. Even without people making intentionally nice placements you're still going to get some good ones around you anyways simply because there aren't that many blanks and anomalies. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

[twelve]

Gnaw. If you want I can put my best tile next to your home world if you put your best in my line toward rex. Interested?

[Khellendros]

Both the Arborec and Xxcha seem nicely placed to turtle.
