Khell, if you didn't know it's also your go for a strategy card selection.

I did know, I was just waiting on your response before deciding, as it might change what I take. Uh, also I then got distracted by other stuff. I'm deciding between Imperial and Logistics.

[twelve]

All I have to offer is my sftt and I've already laid out what I require for it. I was hoping you would go through the wormhole and attack his homeworld. Nom can hit it right away but I doubt he would do it. Even just forcing Gnaw to use his ceasefire card would be a big help. Forcing him to do that I'd be willing to give up my racial pn for it. Or votes. I have 6 currently if that is an interest to you.

[D'rek]

Darn, didn't think you would take DIPLOMACY Twelve. I was really hoping I might get it (unlikely, but I could hope!) and use it on Tura Nora first turn (and Khell got LOGISTICS *again* ?).

[D'rek]

@Tapper - I'm guessing you're going to first-turn grab one of Khell's systems before he can move anything back to Tar'mann and cut off your movement. His home system is probably the more tempting one for its resources, but I'd like to try and persuade you to nab Wellon first, instead, so he has a harder time affording the 6 influence for the Custodian Token if he goes for Mecatol...

Was my top choice actually. Thanks Gnaw and Tatts

I want someone to take Rex this round. I don't care who. I have a rider I would like to play to make Gnaws life Oh so fun.

Speaking of Gnaw, how is your genocide plan working out for you? I see that you and I are still both sitting at zero points apiece. Real effective strategy you got going on there. At least Tatts, has managed to score some points.

[Morgoth]

It’s easy to forget this is a game of points, not area control.

I am surprised the Mentak didn't go for Wellon yet. Yellow tech for their faction research and within Cruiser range from their Home System makes it a very good planet for them.

[Morgoth]

How much I would give to be in Noms position at the end of round two. It feels a little like my position as the Necro last game, just without Khell holding Mecatol Rex

Gnaw would you like to trade 3:3? Free refresh

D'rek 2:2? Free refresh

Would you IH 1:1? I'll offer free refresh to you and Twelve for an additional 1TG instead of giving 1 back to Twelve you'd give it to me.

I am currently subject to the mentak tax, so not interested in 1:1, I'd be interested in a 4:4.

What gave you the impression I was going to give twelve a TG? I'm not. Give us both a free refresh so I don't get involved.

IH, looks like Tatts is going to charge you for my refresh. And Gnaw is stating once I'm gone he won't attack Tatts which leaves you and Khell (who I assume will be parked in the asteroid field next to Rex) as his likely targets. If you pop Leadership first I'll have the ability to pay for the refresh but I would like some additional things to go with it that would be mutually beneficial to you as well.

Nom, Khell how much will it cost me to get one or both of you to hit Gnaw's homeworld?

What do you want? I think gnaw will probably turtle after this but you might be right. Since tatts is trying to extort me now though...

IH I am not going to attack you. I suspect Twelve wants you to take Daemon for your 4th unstable.

I thought you said you'd be giving Twelve a TG, must have heard wrong, if you are not giving him anything then Free Refresh for both is sound. I was going to give you a free refresh anyway, it was Twelve who I was going to charge for it.

[Morgoth]

If I am to pay gnaw, tatts, you’ll have to give me a free refresh.

[Imperial Historian]

Ok tatts that seems reasonable.

Tatts/Gnaw either of you interested in a 4:4?

I have no intention of moving back toward my systems, they're there for whoever gets them first. I would, however, appreciate it if Wellon was not taken on the first turn by either Nom or Tapper. Tapper, taking it would put you in touch with the Mentak and pillaging, which I would have assumed you'd want to avoid till you have your TGs this round.

Nom, Wellon's all yours if you don't go for it turn 1. Is there also any way we can agree for you not to take Centauri turn 1 either?

[Tattersail_]

Free refresh


Khell = 1 TG or racial PN
Nom = 1 TG or promise of no pillage on first trade if we link up
D'rek = Free
IH = Free
Morgoth = 1 TG or play technology early
Gnaw = Free
Twelve = Free
Tapper = Racial PN to be used once your strategy counters are used up.

I think these are very fair terms.

Anyone have any issues?

[Khellendros]

Tatts, any chance of a free refresh?

What are you paying Gnaw for?

An early research (round 1 or 2) sound amenable to you?

[Khellendros]

Ah, just realised Nom took Imperial so he'll go after me, never mind. Tapper, were you considering Wellon?
