Sorry, I was thinking more your sftt and your trade PN don't really want to antagonise blend.

I'd do your trade PN, your ceasefire and 1 commodity alternatively.

I would have done this whole round different if I knew I couldn't use 2 of the same action cards at the same time. Such a dumb rule.

Do what Morgoth and D'rek do and don't discuss your moves?

Throw in a no-pillage promise on the first tg that you could pillage from me as a sign of good neighboury relations and it's a deal

Blend, what will you offer me to sabotage IH's card?

Alternatively, Nom what will you offer me not to?

Good point. Problem is I sorta like having a War Sun watching my back. Right up until it stabs me, but that’s just the Imperium political structure at work.

IH, you’re getting a great deal off that trade. What’ll you give me not to sabotage the card?

All I can offer you is my Trade Agreement and a continuance of our non-aggression pact. If you let IH do that, then I'm going to lose a majority of my fleet early next round, which would effectively boot me from the game, which means that the Arborec will then be YOUR problem, not mine.

If you sabotage the card, then I'll likely be able to muster enough of a force to make a run at Nestphar and effectively knock Nom out of the game. But yeah, all I really have is my Trade Agreement, though I'd be willing to throw in a Political Secrets if you want?

Trade and Political Secret? Deal as long as you promise to refresh.
Edit: well Blend is here. Let’s see the counter offer.

Frankly, I'd rather continue working with you than against you. If Nom takes M/Z back, then I'm going to have to strongly consider what moves I might make to stay within the game, and that includes potentially renegotiating the second half of our tech planets swapping deal, including whether my Racial PN ends up in your hands, or, say, Morgoth's? I don't like threatening you with that, but Nom taking back M/Z would have serious repercussions on my game as a whole which would require me to rethink how to get to a potential win.

I can't make a promise that I'll have an ST to refresh, but as long as I get the free refresh I wouldn't really have a choice anyway! :)

I was going to sabotage it anyway. I could have saved an hour and a half just by saying, “if you play that, I’ll sabotage it.”
