D'rek are you particularly attached to mallice?


This round, yes. next round... I could be persuaded/bribed to leave.


How much are you looking for? Activating it would give you 4 TG?

If anyone has a sabotage then I offer my Trade PN for it.


I have one, you going to give your Trade PN to me?


Yes. Would you like to do that?

Offer open until my turn,if anyone other than D'rek has one and would like my trade PN then let me know.

Blend thoughts on the unexpected action card? Keeping it yourself fora surprise may be better than 3 Tg's, but otherwise would you consider IH over D'rek?


Why would Blend want to feed the player who is halfway to the goal versus the one who is at 2VP, for the same price? If IH outbids me that's a different story, of course.

If you keep hold of it then I may be willing to purchase it off you down the line.


That seems doubtful.

The goal is 12vp isn't it so I'm not halfway :p

Honestly am shocked blend is even contemplating selling it for 3tg, the card itself gives 3tg of value by giving you a CT, plus a stall on top of the incredible opportunities for unexpected attacks afforded by a double move. Easily the best action card in the game in my view.


Yeah, not to mention he's Muaat. Getting two attacks in one round with the same war sun megafleet is amazingly potent. Very strange he is considering selling it, even moreso giving it up to macgnaw.

Well, there's at least 2 rounds left in the game, I'd say more likely 3... or even 4 rounds if the stage II POs are the harder ones. So if I were to keep Mallice for all that time, that's 9-12 influence spending ~=~ 3-4 CTs ~=~ 1 VP with the spend CTs PO, plus 3 more votes in each of the agenda phases. Not sure how exactly to value the votes in terms of resources, but I'd say it's vaguely worth 15 units right now (and that's without consideration for, say, dropping a PDS2 on it and asking for more fees like before). About 12 units next round, 8-9 the round after that, and so on.

I think you are massively overvaluing it there, as I don't think you can seriously think you will retain it for that long... Will have a think about what I'm willing to offer.

No one else tried to take it from Tatts when there was just the 1 infantry on it for a while. Doesn't seem like there's a big desire/positioning for it, so why shouldn't I retain it for that long?

The card does not give you a CT, it just removes one from the board.

If you had any fighters left, by that point. Destroyer 2 is a hell of a drug. I'm really happy you Warfare'd a fighter, y'know?

@ D'rek:

my suggestion for your Racial PN, going by a valuation of 7 TG for the racial:

I offer my Trade Agreement PN and I will throw my 9 votes on an agenda of your choice this round - believe me when I say either one is very much worth your while.
We can trade 2 of my TG for your 2 commodities (one of which IH will pillage from me, so I pay 1 for the privilege).

If you prefer an agenda phase trade: I am more than happy to wait until then, but I will spend some TG on the Influence objective.

@Drek

If you're planning to research a red tech next round, I'd be very interested in your racial PN as well - I'd be willing to give you the Unexpected Action card and my Trade Agreement for it. But only if you're going red tech.

What the actual fuck. That would give you Assault Cannon and Duranium Armour and one step to War Sun upgrade. So you'd be super powerful militarily wise.

D'rek I'd snap his hand off for this deal. 4 TG's and that card?

Sounds good, Tapper, I agree to the above.

My preference is to make the exchange on your upcoming turn, if that works for you.


@Blend - sorry, but Tapper asked first. But let me know if you're still interested next round when the PN comes back to me.
