Back round to Naalu

Ok, who else is going to be using the Politics secondary? I will get a 3rd-party person to randomly draw and send you the ACs, but I don't want to ask them to do it 9 individual times after each player's next turn, so if you don't mind stating here ahead of time if you are/aren't going to be doing the Politics secondary it will make it manageable for them.

I am going to do be doing it.

[Jazzarm]

L1Z1X will not be following Politics.

Hey guys. Given the reason for Blend's absence, it feels extra weird to write this, but earlier today my grandmother passed away. As such, I am very unlikely to undertake any modding stuff over the weekend.

Hugs, Tapper! Go do what you need to do, don't worry about us we'll manage.

[Khellendros]

Thanks for the updated map, D’rek. Just to note that my dread and fighter should be in each other’s positions.

[Jazzarm]

So my next turn is about to be up and I was planning to just go ahead and pop Diplo, since delaying it doesn't really help me. However if people benefit from a later diplo timing I could be persuaded to wait one turn in exchange for 3tgs - 1 each from three different players. Since I don't have any neighbors yet this would be obviously a nonbinding deal, but it would be a fun and profitable way to test people's trustworthiness. To be paid during agenda phase, or whenever we're neighbors.


In addition, I'd need assurance from Arborec to not pop Tech until after diplo, but seeing as that gets you two techs this round, plant people, I think you wanna wait for Diplo anyways. Please, correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm waiting for dip before I use tech as I'm planning on getting 2 tech instead of 1 so pop it on your next turn please.

I am not going to use the politics secondary.

Tapper so very sorry for the bad news. Losing a grandparent is horrible. + Take care of you and the family.

Clever play getting two techs as arborec round 1! Arborex tech path is interesting too, lots of options. You still wanting to do a 2:2 commodity swap round 1?

[Jazzarm]

Upon further inspection, Arborec couldn't stall tech without burning a token, and that's too much to ask of them. Wish Sardakk had moved Qucen/Rarron first so we could've traded earlier, but oh well.

Oops, yup, I'll fix that on the next one.

We can still trade but I couldn't risk construction being played before I had control of Everra.

Khell may not even pop trade on his next turn so no swaps would've been possible.

Ah, space dock on Everra* makes sense. I was holding my fingers crossed for an opportunity to not waste a resource following tech on account of my resource distribution being so awkward, but you can't always get what you want.

I did the favor that was asked of me. Confused the shit out of me but I think it was for this lol

Thank you BK!!!

[Itwæs Nom]

Uhh did we stop using banners?

@Naaaluuuuuu soo are you still open for trading and would you mind if I sent a cruiser to the empty hex south of Thibah so we can become neighbours?

[Morgoth]

That’s a fantastic Arborec start, twelve!

[Morgoth]

My slithering friend, how did the AC draw go?

[Jazzarm]

While we're gushing over Arborec start, the XXcha start is really cool, too. Peace Accords to grab a system without activating it, then Construct a dock which can be used right away. And leadership got stalled long enough to benefit from the 6 influence from Diplo?! Well played, my turtley neighbors!
