I'm here. I'll respond to things soon. I cannot fix my post in game as I'm not on a computer.

@Tatts - we should probably figure out this Tar'mann situation, yes? Like I said before, if you want it I'm open to the idea of letting you have it if we can find a deal that we're both happy with. I get that you giving up Ensapta to Twelve and therefore might want Tar'mann for getting through to the middle. If not, and you are happy with using the wormhole instead, then that's fine, too, and I'll likely be moving to Tar'mann on my first turn.
Obviously it's a planet that I'm looking at that may help me fill one of the public objectives and also achieve hyper metabolism so it is a planet I want. With everyone else offering each other SFTT then maybe I'd be willing to swap SFTT with you which should give you further peace of mind.
I'm not sure what the best play is here between these planets as it's the only direction I can go in.

As far as I know he hasn't given up Ensapta to me. I think we haven't fully discussed ownership border issues as of yet.. I just need to have a clear path to Rex. If he blocks it by taking Ensapta before I can get past we will have issues. Otherwise he can claim it without much objection by me as long as he is a good neighbor.
How many more moves/turns/rounds before you think you can get to Rex without logistics for example?

I know, as I said upthread I was hoping you four would take Leadership through Construction so I could take trade. No biggie though! Additional CTs is never a bad thing!

Nom your racial allows you to place one infantry on one planet you own, not all of them.

Blend, what about the PN trade(s) we proposed?

Thing is I would still like to borrow Lodd Eru for a turn. I would rather do it peacefully, but am not married to that idea.

Well, I'm wanting Mansa III for the same reason you want Lodd Eru. The PNs are only returned upon activating a system with units so that could be arranged. Assuming you’re actually going to attack Nom, that is.

Cool.
Edit: we would be wanting Lodd Eru back after your use of it though. And no parking a war sun or dread there.

So you're suggesting I give up on the planet and we swap SFTTs? That seems rather one-sided...

If you really don't care about Ensapta, then you hopping past Ensapta for MR, him getting Esanpta, and me taking Tar'mann sounds great. Though obviously I'm getting the best deal out of that in that I get a planet without giving up anything.

Currently binging SG1 on Amazon video. I wonder if the developers of this game named the Jol Nar after Jolinar the Tok’ra?

Understandable. Plan is to move my carrier and infantry to take Mansa III then we can negotiate the swap. Maybe you can take it this round so you can use it then I can take it back after Tech is played?
