IH, as D'rek is actively trying to engineer us having a tete-a-tete, perhaps that's another reason why we should not. I've made no secret of the fact that I'll be moving on anyway.


I don't really care if you tete your tetes or your culs, but obviously it benefits me to have your "moving along" be not back my direction.

How come you never offer me things to not tete our tetes?


To be fair, I'm offering to IH the same thing I offered you. No fights and everyone gets back what they once had.



Nothing to offer me?


We haven't got to that stage of our relationship yet.



I'd prefer our relationship to be a long distance one.

You’re playing the rolling stone. You can take any system you want from me. I’ll retreat and let you have it.


And then I’ll park destroyers and cruisers all around you. You’re rambling days will be over for a few rounds then, yes?


Then I guess I would just have to settle down on your planets, leave my wandering days behind me.

I still have 3 commodities available for whomever is interested and has something to offer.

Considering I will likely be pirated, my gain from such a trade would be insignificant.

That's the thing isn't it. I do only have 2 Tg's.

My trade PN (I get a free refresh anyway) for your 3 Commodities + 3 TG's.

That's 6 for 6, I know you get pillaged but that's not my fault.

Unless you can work something out like;

My trade PN (6 TG's) for 3 of your commodities + 2TG's and your racial PN as i'd like the infantry. (to be popped as soon as you're out of strategy tokens, can I play your PN when I have passed?)

My thinking is you get 6 TG's for the cost of 3 commodities and 3 TG's but I only get 5, to compensate I get your racial PN and won't charge you a ct for using it. We both come out even.

I understand, but considering I am having huge issues shifting my commodities each round so far, sitting at 3/4 means I am not going to have to take any refresh other than a free one next round. As I plan to score Establish Trade Routes this round, a trade of 3 will not be pirated then, which would make this same trade already yield 100% more.

I cannot score Establish Trade Routes then... so that's a no.

My thinking is you get 6 TG's for the cost of 3 commodities and 3 TG's but I only get 5, to compensate I get your racial PN and won't charge you a ct for using it. We both come out even.

Except that I will then more or less need to spend my Strategic CTs. Keeping one or both Strategics sets me up for Fleet Size 3 and/or saving tokens for scoring Lead From the Front next round. 2 CT in hand are more valuable than spending 2 CT on Infantry now in a situation where I do not have an obvious planet to reinforce.

My offer would be:

Your Trade PN for my 3 Commodities and my Trade PN (4 commodities). That's 7 TG for you, 6 for me. I will cash your PN next round on your free refresh. The one TG extra you gain is interest, just in case I do not get a free refresh next round.

I agree to this deal. Do you want to add it into your post? As you have just gone?

I will add it to my game PM so that Blend sees the deal.

Blend, originally I said I'm moving 3 infantry to Wellon but I edited the post seconds later to take 1 fighter + 2 gf instead, if that's not allowed then fine, but otherwise you put 1 more gf on the map instead of the fighter

Nope, I have posted so I won't add it now - we can do this trade during your next turn, assuming you will have one - you did say you wanted to take 5 actions or thereabouts.

I can do the trade and pass. Originally I was going to use 15 TG's to buy 5 command tokens, and only up my fleet to 4, I changed to 4 tokens and upped my fleet to 5 so less turns this round as I didn't need to accomplish anything more than I have done.

How many times is IH going to (be allowed to) pick Leadership this game?

Posts re-ordered to be initiative order. I left the copied ones in quotes so its obvious which were moved. Blend can adjust to whatever he prefers after he sees them.

I want Motgoth to take Leadership because that's what Gnaw wants and if I recall Gnaw didn't strike a deal with Motgoth to get his first pick is he made Motgoth speaker so Motgoth isn't required to not take it.

Blend, the map shows that Morgoth Invaded Quann. I'm pretty sure the deal the Morgoth and IH worked out didn't call for him to do that and Morgoth's post doesn't specifically say that he invades the planets just that he builds using his infantry production ability.

Thanks, I've PM'd Morgoth to confirm one way or the other and will update as appropriate.

Thank you D'rek for doing that.

Tapper - apologies, I keep forgetting to ensure that people are playing in proper initiative order when I'm doing map updates. Will try to keep a better eye out.

Rest of you - STOP PLAYING BEFORE IT'S YOUR DAMN TURN!

Game map has been updated to the end of Morgoth's most recent turn (though may need to be updated again based on Morgoth's response to my PM re: Quann)
