No, we cant. It’s a different order of players this time around

I was catching up on all negotiations before making my move and struggling to read a planets name

Zej Rajja is the one you're invading. And the red tech planet is Lodd Eru not Daemon.

Do you think IH is focused on Daemon for any particular reason?

That thought has crossed my mind...

Thanks Gnaw. I've been getting them confused all game for some reason. For what it's worth.

I am not going to attack Daemon unless you attack me first.

A rare categorical IH statement

We could as the three of us are directly next to each other, but much more difficult as tatts will likely have quantum datahub allowing him to buy politics and stop it. Also we can't do the Sftt exchange anymore.

Oh yes, we can. The rotation is D’rek > IH > Morgoth > me
IH would end up getting shafted every other time but thems the breaks. We rotate speaker back and forth between you and him.

Or we rotate it between D’rek and IH.

I’ve got a solution for that as well. Morgoth needs to swap his with Nom to keep the Mentak off his ass. So Tatts gives you his and you give me yours. 3 way swap that keeps Tatts interested in keeping the status quo.
Convoluted but workable.

[Morgoth]

I like status quo, it grants me peace to spread my seed evenly in every furrow. To launch it to the galactic winds for it to clog your sinuses and impregnate your Pategonias.

Also @D'rek, after some oversleep, uhm, pollination, I'm gonna keep the battlestation to myself for now if you stay off Tura Nora for this round, how's that sound?

What's in it for me?

PRODUCTION: [pause to find out if the Carrier made it through the Gravity Rift]

It didn't. We mourn the loss of the foolish rat like creatures infesting that brave ship.

Technology secondary, exhaust home system and Daemon for 4 resources and a red tech, research dimensional splicer

I assume you meant Lodd Eru rather than Daemon?

[Galactic Council]

Gnaw - can you confirm that you agree to trade 3 TGs for 3 of IH's Commodities? Or the 1 commodity you have left and 2 TGs?

Gnaw - please also confirm that you agree with trading 3 TGs for Morgoth's 3 commodities.

Confirm. Keeping my neighbors happy.

Thank you sir!

I've left a message with Khell about his production. Am about to post a map update and Khell's updated player board.

[Gnaw]

And now Blend has skipped Tapper's turn. Tapper are you feeling insignificant?

Shit, for some reason in my head Politics was 2 in initiative order rather than 3! Oops! Will remove until Tapper goes.

[Galactic Council]

Alright, I've removed Morgoth's move that I accidentally posted.

I've updated the map up to the end of IH's turn (minus whatever production Khell will do - in future Khell I would appreciate if you provided me with some sort of provisional off thread when you do that - i.e. if it gets destroyed, produce this, if it doesn't, produce this).

I've also updated Khell's player card in the game thread.

[Morgoth]

Tapper is playing Sol. All they’re good for is breeding with each other anyway.

Morgoth, did you know that the Solarians invented RoundUp?

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.

If you keep it empty next round as well, we have a deal. I will not touch Tar'mann this round.

This deal doesn't say anything about khells homeworld right? Which is also empty and in range of your ships.

As implied in my first post, he'll be able to take that next round without fuss as well if he wants. If he wants to jump ahead and take them this round, I'll raise a quizzical eyebrow but otherwise shrug. I might be slightly more loth to continue trading, but also maybe not.

I'm more interested in why you're constantly piping up every single time I make a move or strike a deal, trying to drive a wedge into it.

Because you are scary smart, you've had a good start and I think you are the most likely to win and I'd like to stop that

This has feels of last game of IH pointing eyes of everyone elsewhere so they aren't looking at him, mister points leader.

I'd actually would like to swap my support with IH now that Gnaw and Tatts have traded theirs away.
