Thanks

When I post a trade with someone in a game post the trade doesn't actually take place until the person's turn, correct?


The trade happens at the exact moment that you post it (even in-between parts of your turn).

However, all the bullshitty "offer _____" bits that people stick in their game posts don't mean anything.

Nom, don't forget to pillage Gnaw, if he finds someone to offload those commodities of his.


We have an agreement.

What agreement? And why would he pass up stealing from you when you are clearly occupied elsewhere?

An old one that I've never really benefited from, alright

I'll humbly accept your Support for the Throne to cancel said agreement

Just cancel the agreement. Declare it null and void. Also, can you redistribute CT from the secondary of leadership?

Damn. Hard to argue against that deal.

No, nor from the primary. The only strategy primary/secondary that lets you do that is LOGISITCS.

In Nom's turn it's just bad phrasing though. He went 1/4/0 --> buy 3 --> 2/4/2 so no redistribution necessary.

Didn't really redistribute anything, bad wording, will edit

I've been considering it tbh but I'm not doing it this round since he was kind enough to send me a tg for something I was going to do anyway

Tatts, that destroyer north of Thibah is there to help keep Khell out of it. I wanted to put it in the B wormhole but that would block IH.

I think Khell would be more likely to go for Tatts' home system. 3 planets = 3 trade goods :p

I was seriously considering it at one point. I really wanted the racial PN, too. But when the price went up to having to destroy 2 ships specific whole fleets and my options became more limited it was too much of a hassle.

I know. But I couldn’t reach that blank hex. Did what I could.

His home world doesn't have a large fleet and that is one of the options.

There is a nice wormhole nice and close that would get you in range.

But there's a Destroyer in the way. Would take two turns across 2 rounds, with a likely counter-build in-between meaning it requires a whole fleet of substantial force. At that point it's more CT and resource investment than the 1VP warrants.

Basically I will give my sftt to whoever puts substantial pressure on Gnaw to allow me to actually get to play the game. If someone does something to him that allows me to attack his damn flagship I'll give it to you. If attacking his destroyer gets him to pop his racial tech and I have a CT that I can use to attack him it's yours. I'd prefer the attack to destroy some of his ships but being able to move off my homeworld is more important. Putting pressure on Tatts would be helpful too as I haven't tried attacking Gnaw because he still thinks I want to attack him. All I wanted out of this game was a straight shot to Rex and turtle up. I guess I get to do the turtle thing without being able to score any points.
