Alright, at least I can plan accordingly.

So IH, how do you want the wormhole shenanigans to work? FYI, I'm not interested in competing with you for D'rek's homeworld, which is what I assume you'll be going for this round.


As I have been executed the wormhole action card which would allow you to jump to d'reks side of the galaxy is no longer in my hand so unfortunately I cannot aid your travel to said side of the galaxy <_<

I need to spend a bit of time once I have a strategy card figuring out what on earth I am going to do now my plans have been so drastically changed.

I would be quite pleased if you did play diplomacy on the first turn however. I am the only player whom will benefit, and I am probably the player (other than twelve) least likely to end up in a military conflict with you.

Ah, of course. I haven't figured out what to do this round either (just in case D'rek's paranoia was ratcheting up that I'm dead set on moving toward her - I am not :nuke:) You could always move that destroyer out of the beta wormhole and give me more options (although my limited movement may make even that moot).

I guess my main priority is just to protect Mecatol. So frankly, I'm also pretty tempted to just build and pass straight away.

Edit: Of course, my other notion is to throw all my movement towards Gnaw. Why? What would that achieve? Who knows. Nothing. Fuck it. Why not.

Yeah, I thought about that, but then I also thought, hey why don't I just do this thing which will achieve nothing for myself and actually just set me back even further?

It's an option anyway.

My body? I literally have nothing to offer you except a Political Secret PN (and you already have 4 of my votes). That and a trading partner to trade 3/3 with you if I had commodities to trade for yours. Perhaps you have ideas?

I'm feeling generous, so how about a pick out of your 3 remaining action cards?

You ask Blend to PM me the 3 action cards, and i'll pick one.

You get your Trade PN back.

Under normal circumstances, that would be pretty fair. I wish I could but I can't - the ones I have are all pretty useful for defending Mecatol, my one remaining home in all the galaxy. How about you just give it because I won't ever refresh while you have it? <_<

Or keep it, I refresh, and you give me 1TG to thank me for my generosity. I can then invest that 1TG in some great stock tips I heard, and not only get rich, but reward you for helping me out when I was flat broke. What do you say?

I'll think about it. As you can see with my offer I wasn't intent/planning upon the 3 TG's your trade PN gives me but you'd rather have it back regardless of whether or not I give you anything to refresh it. It costs you nothing to refresh if the situation arises but costs you more if you don't as you will not have it to offer in trades, nor have it to acquire your own commodities.

I don't even need the action card, but I rarely do something for nothing. You said you had nothing and I thought what could I do for you in a fair trade. I personally value most action cards at 2/3 TG. I do not remember where that figure come from, ones that stall a turn or get TG's, research etc may be valued at more.

So assuming your AC's were worth 2 TG as I did, I was paying the extra TG for the choice.

So what do you say?

If its similar again, I'll think about it.

Well if Gnaw doesn't allow me to take the 3 planets he stole from me without pds fire or counter attacking in exchange for my ceasefire pn I will gladly help you take him out. Actually, if he doesn't deal and peace accords Lodd Eru, I'll give you Nom's trade agreement PN to attack him with me this round.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Sorry, just fixed that for you a bit <_<

As I said, your offer is fair, it's just not feasible to me specifically should the situation arise where I need to defend Mecatol. As for me not refreshing - well, I really don't have that much to lose by not doing it at this point. But what's 1TG for a trade rich Hacan like yourself, eh?

Tatts, looks like I'll be before you in turn order. What's your timing plan? You want to grab New Albion first turn? And what's happening with Mansa 3?
