I object greatly to this plan but with D'rek giving strategy advice on how to squash me and Khell getting bought off things are looking mighty bleak for the rightful successors of Rex.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Uh, no, the rightful successors of Rex are already occupying Mecatol Rex. Don't get any strange ideas into your big purple heads, you public servants, you.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

So just FYI, only Khell is getting a free refresh. Tapper and Gnaw won't. Gnaw for obvious reasons and Tapper only because he gave his trade PN to Tatts. For everyone else to get one they first have to agree to not trade with Gnaw or Tatts for any trade goods or commodities (this condition is non negotiable) and something else. Thinking 1 trade good and 2 votes or 8 votes or best offer.

That seems fair.

Why Khell though? Hasn't he now gone and made a deal to not help you?

Ah right, makes sense. Well, I'll promise you 4 votes and I won't give my commodities to Gnaw or Tatts. Anything more than that isn't worth it for me for just the 2 commodities I get.

If your plan is for Gnaw to take LEADERSHIP and hold off on playing it as long as possible to limit Twelve's options, then wouldn't it make more sense for Tatts to take LOGISTICS? Otherwise LOGISTICS is the obvious choice for Twelve to take to counter the delayed LEADERSHIP play.



I’m not really planning that. I need the CTs myself so Leadership will almost certainly be played turn 2. By taking Arinam I limit Twelve to gaining a single CT.

How about Tatts takes Politics and makes you speaker? You, IH, and Morgy would just have to agree to let Tatts and I have the cards we want.


IH, do you agree to this? Gnaw what Strategy card are you after?

So to clarify, we are not going to hit Twelve this round?

Not certain which card yet. Have to see how this round shapes up. Leaning towards technology.

Yeah. Damn Everra for being a nebula.

I have my reasons but I'd really appreciate it if you do.

Not sure if you are trying to pull reverse psychology on me here or not but it doesnt much matter as It's not like I have a lot of options as to when to play it.

Unless he has an AC that lets him stall, he has to do so. He needs the TGs to build.

So you are saying each commodity is worth 2 votes only. Hmmmm.... if the others agree with this price I'll accept it.

I'll accept it as the plus portion of the refesh just to clarify.

twelve, I gain no benefit from my commodities since I gave IH my trade PN, but I would like to fullfill my deal with him. Would you settle for 4 votes for a free refresh from me?

I'll guarantee you these two votes Twelve, regardless of what IH does.
