@D'rek if I leave a path back to Nevant for your carrier and infantry will you move it on your first turn?

In return, I'd like a free refresh. That way you keep your ship and infantry and we can move on with no hard feelings.

Realistically, there's no response I can give to that question that you *should* believe. I could say yes, I'll totally move it to Nevant, and then not. Or move it to Arnor/Lor instead, blocking your path to Jord. Sure, *I* know I'd be honest if I were saying yes to that, but it's not a risk you should take.

I won't fully believe you but if I am offering it then I'd like to try to fulfil this. I will strengthen Arnor/Lor, moving ships there from Ensapta and building fighters. Then it's up to you whether you want to move that ship.

The offer is to move your ship back to Nevant on your first turn. I get a free refresh. This a deal?

Tapper 4:4 trade?

IH if I move my ships from Mallice turn 2 and let you park in the space for a round will you not pillage me for the amount of time the ship is in Mallice?

Why the head shake, I fully realise if I take my home system back then you can just move a dread into Arnor and destroy my spacedock again.

Free refresh for your friendly Mentak neighbours?

Tatts you are offering me nothing. I know you are evacuating mallice anyway, you can't stop me moving a ship there. You aren't letting me do anything. So no I am not going to excuse you from the mentak tax for this. I'm still 50:50 on whether I move to the beta wormhole anyway and block you.

If you do indeed block the beta WH (on turn 1) as you perused aloud/threatened, I would indeed find that amusing enough to reward you with a delicious free refresh gateau

You are also up for actions my floral friend.

It looks like D'rek is going to continue to be aggressive towards me and taking my homeworld back this round looks very problematic. Firstly I'll have to protect my space dock, if IH does indeed block me after this then i'll have to look to move ships that way. Which won't require infantry.

[Imperial Historian]

Tatts I'll do you a deal, you continue to respect my ownership of tar'mann, and give me your trade PN.

I won't use your trade PN for at least two turns so you can still use the goods to build up your forces once more.

I'll move my cruiser on tar'mann out of the way so you can rescue your carrier on bereg.

I will not move my cruiser to the beta wormhole and interfere with your efforts to retake your homeworld.

I cannot accept this deal. With Gravity Drive D'rek can move a dread and infantry from her HW to destroy my spacedock. So taking back Jord to lose that would be bad. When she researches Dread 2 which is beneficial towards the new objective she could actually move both dreads and destroyer into Arnor/Lor, Corneeq/Rescullon. So first move would have to be for me to make Arnor/Lor pretty strong to make sure I have good odds of defending her off.

Next move would be to take my HW but if you have ships in the Beta wormhole then I'll have to move my ships there. So no taking my HW back and D'rek gets stronger using production and influence at will. You cannot do anything to stop her as she has your ceasefire and other people are too far away right now.

I respect your ownership of Tar'mann, and it's up to you if you want to screw me over.

Macaw/Tapper - can I count on either of you for commodities swapping this round? I assume Nom will not want to swap with me.

Well, we have to be neighbours for that to happen - where do you think you're gonna end up neighbouring me?

Say what? I thought you still had to be neighbours to trade during agenda phase, no?

How could you not know? You modded the game where I was only able to survive by trading during the agenda phase.
