I have updated my post accordingly, I was going off the wording of the card and assumed it was a valid move.

D'rek I have offered to trade your commodities 2:2

That means I have 4 commodities available, first come first serve.


I'll trade 3 for 3

Well, if Tatts is going to gobble up all excess commodities, refreshing doesn't make much sense for me, unless he has enough excess capacity to spare and/or Gnaw and D'rek are also open to trade.

Gnaw, why should I give you my racial PN for nothing?

Khell what are you doing with that increasingly threatening fleet sat by bereg? Can we come to some sort of agreement?


We certainly can, your fleet isn't exactly giving me comfort either. What do you have in mind? I was actually wondering if Nom perhaps had designs on Bereg via the wormhole.



I mainly want the peace of mind that if I move you won't move straight in. Do you still have your ceasefire PN?

Or raghs call and promise not to use it unless you attack me, that way if you attack me you know you are leaving mecatol vulnerable.

If it helps I'd be moving against d'rek who seems like the most likely to get warsuns and super bombard rex.

How about I do a 2:2 trade with you Tapper, and a 2:2 Trade with Morgoth

That way you and Morgoth can do a 1:1?

That would be a neat way for Nom to steal two more of our trade goods.

It involves one of the coming agendas. You’ll like it.

You just really don’t want that alpha wormhole in Bereg.

That would be a neat way for Nom to steal two more of our trade goods.

A 2:2 would with Tatts would not hurt me through piracy (I spent my TGs on purpose), but a 1:1 with you would have to wait to the Status Phase since we don't border. I am not sure you'd like that - and it would be a delayed break even for me best case scenario (getting my CT back in TG). I think I'd rather sit on the CT for Lead from the Front or its 2 pt big brother.
On top of that, Tatts already promised you a 3:3.

Tatts, I have an action card for sale you might be interested in. I'd want 4 TG for it - will ask Blend to show it to you.

Ah, sounds like the dreaded 'destroy every ship in a wormhole hex' agenda. But then why shouldn't IH just move the wormhole himself rather than giving it to you?

If I can do a 4:4, yes - or first a 1:1 with Tatts and then 3:3 with you. Otherwise, no.

We certainly can, your fleet isn't exactly giving me comfort either. What do you have in mind? I was actually wondering if Nom perhaps had designs on Bereg via the wormhole.

I'm afraid that Nom has my Ceasefire.

The deals you propose give you peace of mind, but they don't really give ME peace of mind at the same time. There's also no way I can let anyone have Ragh's Call while I only have one planet, that's just not happening (and that's probably not going to change either, sigh).

You're looking for security as you plan to leave your systems a little more vulnerable. You can certainly pay me off with a Trade Agreement, if you have it, and I'll promise not to try and take advantage while you're off on space adventures. I'm also a little closed in where I am. Moving the destroyer off the beta wormhole might open up other options for me later on down the line (but if you take systems off D'rek, I won't seek to mess with that), and would certainly be a friendly overture.

Oh, and this would be a must for any deal we end up making: No placing wormholes in systems with my ships in them this phase (or status phase, whichever phase it is again when you can move them round), if indeed this agenda coming up is what I think it is. And that goes for if you give the wormhole token to anyone else to place, you have to have them promise not to place it in systems with my ships in them. My ships are, after all, all that I have.

How are you doing this? I've claimed your commodities already.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.
