I did and got rejected... presumably you're still not interested?

It would be more interesting to me now, since I have more of an outline of what I want to do and where I want to go :lol:


Well, what did you have in mind?

After everyone has done their Status update, I have a Construction Rider to trade. In addition, I still have a Support for the Throne available (can't believe no-one has actively made an offer for it), and this is the very last round I will consider trading it to players with more VP than me.


I would be happy to trade with you, but I don't know what I have to offer you in return. I can promise you trade goods, and a general promise to leave you alone both militarily and through agendas.

I'd be looking at 6 TGs paid before the next Status Phase starts, as a minimum.


I'll be able to provide 4 this round I assume, but that's the highest I can possibly go.

Your initial offer, iirc, was 2 TG, your racial PN and a promise to never target my ships with PDS (I'd rephrase that to: never target my ships with PDS unless I activate one of your systems).
Those terms would be fine by me.

I'm also still fine with those terms, but I don't have 2 TG to give anymore. What about {{ my racial PN + all my votes this agenda phase + my PDS will never fire upon your ships unless you activate one of my systems }} ?

Ie 8 o clock at night, you've been at it all day, had tea/dinner, maybe about to watch Netflix or go the pub. You know what, I got 5 minutes to post an update from my phone. Score home objective. Assign tokens, done. Right let's watch that/go out. It seems simple to me but maybe I'm a simple person or have manners.

Scrap that nitchy post. Add this one.

It's a week ago. Morgoth hasn't done his update.

So what, I'll create my status post now and save it in my inbox. I know what I'm doing. That way no one has to wait on me.

I'm on a foreign country. I don't have my computer with me. I'm still walking back to my hotel now, as I have at this time the past couple of days. I fall asleep as soon as I get to my hotel room. I was around constantly all of last week waiting to update so it's just bad timing.

Conferences: you listen to 12 hours of papers every day, and it's exhausting and mostly boring apart from that one single brilliant paper, and you hope no one boos your own paper. But none of that actually matters, because the reason you're really here is to make contacts and network and I really really hate that. You have to do all the scmooozing and the fake laughter, and that one guy who you really want to be in touch with because he could be useful to your project, but then after a couple of glasses he says 'aren't immigrants really ruining everything' and you're like UGH but have to suck it up and make a non-commital noise because this guy has PULL...so yeah, I normally don't have the energy to do anything after.

I’m sorry.

Thanks. I very much realise it's by no means the worst thing ever, and I am in a beautiful city, but you do just feel mentally drained and kinda dirty inside after, and it doesn't really put me in the right mood to do anything other than pass out.

I am sorry for making you all wait.

Also, as the only UK person there, all anyone wanted to talk to me about was Brexit, pretty much the last thing I'd care to talk about.

Rant over. I did have a tasty dinner.

That sounds hideous Khell. Be yourself, be confident and don't lose your values. Is it really important to YOU to suck up to these people? Hang in there, you'll be home soon.
