D'rek, I'd be happy to move my fleet away from your systems.


How do you propose to do that...?


Hey IH, I'll make you speaker if you leave Leadership for me and give me your racial PN.

At the moment I am torn between IH and D'rek.


...really?


Before you choose, might I suggest confirming that we'll get the cards we want.


We went over that already? IH was the one haggling about it, not me. I was affirmative from the get to.


^^^

I suggest you find the post with Tatts wording of the deal that D'rek agreed to. If Tatts changed his mind later and D'rek never confirmed the change, well, then, she did unto Tatts, what Tatts does to everyone else.

Also as you are very fond of saying its too late to change now.


if we follow a strict legal interpretation of the process, the original understanding becomes void once a new offer is made. Or to put it differently, a new offer shows that no binding contract was made.

Well, I'm alright with that I guess. But {a} it has to be on your first turn, and {b} I pick whether it's the alpha or beta wormhole token moved. (I'm not sure which I actually want... but probably beta... 2 adjacent wormholes seems silly)

Tatts, the problem with any card I take is D’rek can now bleed me dry of tactical actions. I adjusted my tokens on the basis of getting leadership.

if we follow a strict legal interpretation of the process, the original understanding becomes void once a new offer is made. Or to put it differently, a new offer shows that no binding contract was made.

Which at that point D'rek has no legal obligation to honor any part of the deal as she never agreed to the new terms yet was given the speaker token regardless. At that point it would be a courtesy to Tatts to give him what he wanted instead an obligation.

But we can argue who is right and who is wrong until we are all blue in the face. It doesn't change the fact D'rek still took Leadership and now Gnaw is faced with having to choose something else.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Exactly why IH, your main rival, should not agree to the deal ;) And not giving you that wormhole token also leaves your fleet stranded.
