Ok, I think that's us sorted for this turn.

Unfortunately, there's something I now need to ask Tapper ;)

@ Tapper: I will entirely abandon Tar'Mann for you this round if you do not take it until next round. If you can't agree to that, then I'll have to leave behind ships/GFs you'll have to fight through if you want that system and potentially the ones above it.


Sounds like an obvious intentional setup of a nonbinding agreement rapper would agree to and flop on, so you can pretend to get angry at. But no one is going to believe your anger and everyone will empathize with tapper on this even if he doesn't hold his end of the deal. Obviously.



...I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

You want Tapper to say "of course I won't take Tarmann" but then do so anyway at the end of the round (because of course he would). And then you'll pretend to be surprised.

Oh I see.

So I want to lose a planet I need this round.

And I want Tapper to go back on an agreement.

So that I can...express anger?

Yes, yes, I see how that would benefit me both strategically and materially in the long run.

Agreed. Especially considering after asking me for an arm, leg, and firstborn child you’re offering to sell it to him for 3TG??

Along with it I offered not to pillage you and asked that you do not blow half a dozen or more tgs worth of my fleet to pieces and take a system of mine and asked for 4 tgs that I was willing to negotiate

So, Gnaw, if Nom won't see reason sounds like you're seizing Lodor and I'm seizing Tura Nora?

And I was intending to offer that to you but decided not to as compensation for putting up with my bs for 3 and a half hours on a saturday night

Actually, I mean, if you maybe got Tapper to throw in some tgs too and got to, uhm, 6, I'd be willing to reconsider...

My honest advice to you as you being a newer player is to keep it. With everyone knowing you have it, it's a great deterrent to anyone messing with you anywhere adjacent to your space docks.

Nom, I am not paying enough attention to understand what it is you’re negotiating for, so I’m not going to comment on that. What I think you should keep in mind though is that in this game you and D’rek play as the strongest military races, at least in space combat. Your race is a terrifying enemy, and no one wants to give you reason to hold a grudge.

Anyway, that’s enough advicing from me. Advice is like pollen. The only one whom enjoys its release is the tree.

Aye, he’s making a calculated risk. you’re by no means undefeatable, that would be boring. It’s just a serious serious pain fighting the mentak.
