Crap. Morgoth I agreed to the 2 TGS as I thought D'rek took back the planets as well as destroying IH's ships. I wanted a net of 2 TGS but if I only net 1 I'm going to insist on 1 more TGS unless someone can remove my border with IH before we exchange TGs.


Alright, I'll make sure you get your trade goods, but I am not paying you until I have gotten my two turns out of MR. Consider it insurance on my part. We're in the end game and I am wary of treachery.

Understood.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

IH, I am interested in your Racial, now that you have it back. What is your price?


I'm interested in selling it. What sort of price are you thinking? Guess it depends on how long we think the game is going to go on for... I would likely be getting 4tg a turn off you from taxation. 5TG and always exchanging my commodities for tg would work for me. That gives you an extra 3TG if the game lasts 2 turns and 7 if it lasts 3, plus an extra stall.

I think 5 is a fair asking price, but I'd like your PN upfront and then a staggered payment - call it insurance against you winning the game this round :)
My suggestion would be 3 this round (production biomes, on my next action, or commodities if your next action is to pop Trade), then 2 in the next (again, from production biomes, used on my first action of the round).

An added benefit for you if we complete the trade on your next action is that I will not be able to take Mallice, which I have been eyeing since you evacuated the Beta-wormhole - I am holding a Flank Speed.

If you are paying in stages and by production biomes that changes the calculation slightly as I could potentially gain commodities from the other side of production biomes.

I'd take 3 in traded commodities this round, and 2 traded commodities next round or 3 traded commodities this round, production biomes next round and 1 traded commodity.

Plus continuing to exchange my commodities for trade goods whenever you have trade goods or commodities.

Tapper, you'd better somehow leverage this trade into an amazing rush to 12 VP and winning the game at the end of this round. Because otherwise... the hell?!

If IH attacks me back I’ll offer you my SftT, but i’ll need a guarantee that you’ll leave my systems alone, including the empty one. Sounds good?

Then stop feeding the person at 9VP!

It doesn't even make sense. If you were already thinking of taking Mallice, why not just do that? You wouldn't have any borders with IH after that so he wouldn't pillage you anyway.

I agree with what D'rek says. Just remove your border with him as I have a strong feeling IH won't have much left and won't be ever in a position to push back out.

IH - if I gave you TGs would you be able to turn them into a win this round?

EDIT - I also have my Support for the Throne in my hands. It's promised to Nom, but if you can use it and TGs to just win this round, then I'm willing to throw both your way.

If you are just giving them away how about sending them my way. The TGs especially would be very helpful.

I'll see what IH says - if I can help him win this game, then I'd rather do that so we can move on to a new game.
