I am extremely confused about what's going on

I had plans to score 3VPs this turn but didn't realise I need 6 influence to take Rex, if Gnaw took out my ships on Lodor turn 1 I would lose the ability to score 2 of them, and his ominous silence to my assurances that I meant no harm to him didn't exactly assure me that he won't do just that. I definitely have a pretty skewed view of values of all the different things in this game but my deals weren't for nothing.

Was trying to adjust them to make it work but I can't find a way so I guess they're out the window and I'm going off probably for good today. So if you need to advance the game before I'm back please act as if all my deals are off and I'll review them in the morning. Tommorow I'm also going back home where I've some work to do, plus dealings with starting uni and I'm back to work on monday too so I probably won't be that active in the following few days. Thanks for your concerns and help and sorry for your wasted time and all, I wasn't supposed to be playing this week at all. Having slept an average of about 4 hours a night and not having smoked once for the past week(that's the longest period since either Christmas or possibly a year ago, and yes the 2 are connected) and my health state today didn't help I guess.

Oh and I totally didn't realise what my ambush racial does, when I read it I didn't have much of an idea how exactly combat works and I hadn't looked at it since.

Nom, don't worry about it, you're not wasting anyone's time or slowing the game down, this game is 50% making deals! And you're not the only one still learning things either!

Twelve, when are you thinking of using trade?

Immediately. Would like for you to use warfare first turn as well... maybe. Still torn about bringing my dread to the middle or use it to take thiabah for the blue tech. Would love to do both but that ain't happening.

[Khellendros]

And I like the ambition of 3VPs in one round as well Nom

Tatts we still good for 3 for 3 trade?

Yes BUT D'rek has my Trade PN.

Hmmm, gnaw can I trade you 3 for 3 this round if Tatts is unable to trade with me this round?

@IH what about you pay Tatts for my action card trade with Gnaw so I can agree to the alpha wormhole placement on Mehar Xull? Or use your good relations to not have to pay anything or whatever, obviously I wouldn't be pillaging this particular trade

Where's the turtles again

I think that's a few too many steps to be agreeing a deal. Tatts needs to place the wormhole and gnaw needs to agree (and be happy having the alpha wormhole there which I think he isn't, in which case the deal is off anyway)

I've not had any other offers

I have nothing to offer, but think you should put it on Arinam-Meer just for funsies.

I might not have a problem with this if I was closer to my other racial tech.

[Khellendros]

Also also Nom, hope you manage to get some sleep and feel better.

[Imperial Historian]

Nom this game is super complex, I am constantly learning new rules and everyone else has had a game and many weeks to learn. You are doing a great job stepping in for bliss. Hope you get some sleep and rest. The joy of this game is negotiations, I'd happily have negotiated for a week before anyone made a move

I have 4 trade goods for trade, morgoth gnaw either of you up for a trade?

I will if Twelve doesn’t. Even if he does, I’ll swap you the TGs. I won’t use them turn one.

Hey IH, I am sure that system looks tempting to you right now, but in the interest of friendship I’ll be happy to make you speaker in return for leaving it alone. Or to male gnaw speaker if that’s what you prefer.

You'd really make Gnaw speaker, and put yourself at last to pick a strategy card? Seems like a pretty bad deal compared to getting the planet + 2nd speaker pick, or even if you did put yourself as a late pick you could probably get a more valuable deal like Nom not pillaging you, etc

No, I forgot about the seating order.

Morgoth, hi, how's Indonesia going? Say, can I have the Speaker token?

No, you’re too far away

I am happy to trade with you. I have three potential commodities. On that front, twelve, how about a free refresh in the interest of friendship?

[Gnaw]

A hungover Viking going for an easy VP huh?

[Morgoth]

IH, I’d be willing to give you the speaker token if I am guaranteed by both you and Tapper to get technology.

The wedding was yesterday. I compensated for being in a three piece suit at an outdoor celebration in 30 degrees celcius by drinking cold beer. Thankfully I managed to stay at a low key buzz, that is until the bride challenged me to a vodka drink off. That woman can hold her liquor

Are you up for another trade when the time comes?

I pick nowhere near IH (or you) - either you mean Twelve instead of IH, or you have me confused with someone else

Jesus, I am too hungover to function. You’re right, it’s just IH.

[Khellendros]

So you're iust going to move the Speaker token one over? Why not just put it on yourself in that case?

Also, that was not the move I expected you to make. In touch with the Mentak and not the planets nearest you which would be best for achieving the new PO.
