Right, this is where the initial trade happened, which was earlier this round...

"Ragh!"
"What is it, Princess?"
"You've got to see this, Buddy. For Ragh's sake, you've got to see this!"
"See what? Princess, you're not making any sense. I can't leave my post, you know that."
"Buddy! Buddy! Buddy! Come on! Buddy! Buddy!"
"If I leave someone might take my tennis ball. I can't leave!"
"Buddy! Buddy! BUDDY!!!"
"Oh for Ragh's sake! Just tell me what it is."
"My toilet. Buddy. My toilet!"
"Just tell me"
"It's grown!"
"Your toilet has grown?"
"Yes yes yes! It was just a little one. I could almost lift my leg above it"
"Quite the embarassment. No wonder you never invited me over for treats"
"I Know I know I knoooooow! But now, Buddy, but now it's big"
"How big?"
"Really big!"
"How big? How big? Tell me!"
"It grew up through the ceiling to Max's room... It ate his toilet."
"It ate his toilet?"
"Yes yes! Pot and all. And now it's vibrating"
"Toilets don't vibrate"
"Mine does, and it feels amazing! Do you want to come over and try?"
"I'll bring my ball"

IH does not have his Trade Agreement, so the trade between Tatts and IH is NULL AND VOID!

[Khellendros]

Lookig back through, I think IH and Morgoth exchanged Ceasefire PNs, not Trade Agreement.

Edit: Never mind!

[Khellendros]

So IH now has 2 of his own PNs in his hand, correct? Rather than the 4 which has never been updated

Edit: Well, 3 as he has't actually givem his sftt to Tatts.

PSA for everyone: my PDS IIs have been and are currently set to "shoot everything" (including Nom's move to Mecatol). But I'm not averse to holding fire in exchange for trade goods (though obviously I won't hold fire if you're attacking me). I don't want to do things retroactively nor hold up the game, so I'd recommend making such deals well in advance... last minute attempts to buy non-fire moments before you make your move are likely to be ignored/declined.

Alright, so, because Nom moved to Mecatol AFTER Drek researched PDS II, and because Drek had told me she was away for a day, I will allow the PDS fire on Nom's move.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Going forward, if you have PDSII's, please provide me with provisionals for their firing (i.e. who you WANT to fire upon, and who you do NOT WANT to fire upon) in your Chat PMs, otherwise I will definitely ignore them. (i.e. if I didn't think to use your PDS II's as I'm very forgetful, and you didn't give me a provisional, you will not get to retconn that firing)

[Galactic Council]

Alright, game map has been updated.

I've included the Space Dock on Daemon for Gnaw that I missed. I did not include all the other crap you guys tried to sneak in!

I've updated Nom's attempt to take Mecatol Rex from Drek.

I think we're good. I'm probably wrong.

[Gnaw]

Uh. Given that retcon on Rex, I'm betting that Khell is going to want to invade it rather than pass.

If that is the case, I would encourage Khell to let me know as soon as possible.

[Galactic Council]

Another thing - PLEASE STOP POSTING BEFORE IT'S YOUR TURN.

So IH was the instigator, but a bunch of you followed. Not a huge deal considering everyone passed after IH. But at this point, if you want to do something different after Tapper posts his turn, well, it's not going to be allowed. (I don't think that's gonna be an issue, but just in case it is...)

[Gnaw]

I only did it because D’rek did it. She’s infallible so I figured it was ok...

Oh, hell. Can we all just agree that it’s Khell’s fault?

Told you my action cards suck Gnaw but you didn't believe me.

If anyone cares, Gnaw now has Tactical Bombardment.

[Tattersail_]

Once Tapper goes is it back round to me?

[Gnaw]

Yes. Maybe. Theoretically Khell might invade Rex.

I'll broker your deal with Nom this time for free. Normally there'd be a 1 TG cost per person for future reference.

Morgoth doesn't have my trade PN I have it, that refers to morgoth giving me his trade commodities for his trade PN which he gave me for my racial PN last turn.

I currently have my political secrets pn and racial Pn

Trade PN I have traded to tatts for his sftt, as far as I recall this is the first time it's left my hand.

Ceasefire I have traded with morgoth

Sftt I have traded with drek.

I think I deserve that trade PN because of how spectacularly wrong my attack went.

You deserve that result for the spectacularly poor wording of that post where it looked like you took IH's Trade PN rather than taking back your own

Now let me see what this Mecatol business is about...
