Would you let me move my ships before taking Tau Bootis? Or at least exhaust the planet?

Let you spend 4 resources and save 9 resources of ships, or destroy them all with probably 0 losses... purely out of the kindness of my heart, since you offer nothing? I am the Nekro, Tatts. I do not have a heart, only steel.

It'll be good to see you move all those ships 2 spaces on your first turn and it'll be good to see what ACs you have to counter mine. All I know now is you cannot be trusted. I'll plan accordingly. I've tried the carrot.

Wow, those were supposed to be carrots?

Have you won a game yet D'rek? Morgoth and IH have. I dont see them playing as hostile towards their neighbours as you do. Look at this game, the more successful VP gatherers have negotiated well. You think I cannot grab a lower initiative and build my flagship and dread to match yours? If you think I won't literally play the whole game planning to destroy any hope you have of winning then you dont know me well at all.

@L1Z1X decided on your strategy card?

Did you give thoughts to taking Poltics?

Jazz wanted Tech

Toaster what would you like for your racial PN?

I've given some consideration to other cards, but in the end I'll stick with Technology.

[Khellendros]

Nom, do you think you'll be picking Leadership?

I'll be taking Trade again

Okey dokey. Tatts, do you think you’ll be taking Leadership?

So here is my last ditch effort to not get even farther behind in the planet count. Is there anyone out there willing to vote for a target of my choosing? And what is the cost for those votes?

Well you already (emphasis on 'already') gave away your SftT, so I'm not sure what you have to offer me and my 9 votes.

@IH: How's the status phase looking for you then? Have you thought about the 3-planet-for-minister-of-law offer? It also means that, presumably, you get to keep Twelve's votes for another agenda. If you did agree, I would like you to place some votes for me for the second agenda though, just to hopefully avoid shenanigans.

Definitely interested, though it's not going to be easy for either of us to claim that system with how we are setup. I'm not looking for conflict with you.

How many votes would you be looking for? Would an exchange of ceasefires as part of this deal be acceptable to you?

[Imperial Historian]

Twelve now riders and such have been played, if you want me to throw my votes onto another planet we could reach a deal if you agree not to build, move or place any additional infantry on rex (if the number of infantry you have is reduced you can replace them), and you give me your stymie card. I promise not to use or trade it unless you build more infantry on rex or attack me. You also give me a share of any tg you gain from losing infantry on presumably nestphar?

You keep rex, i keep good relations with my neighbour and we both gain tg. I'm pretty sure you'd keep your word regardless but me holding stymie should reassure everyone.

Would this be of interest?

[D'rek]

You're suggesting he do all that not for you to move the target to another player, but just to move it to Nestphar instead? Seems like it'd be a lot easier for Twelve to just take the hit on MR and ask me to move so he can send more infantry to it...

This is unexpected. I am definitely interested in working out a deal. My stymie card would only be given out if none of my planets are selected. I think is possible to word a deal to make it binding. I have zero interest in losing any of my infantry. This though sounds like it might be a sticking point as you want trade goods from me losing infantry. I also want a higher ceiling on allowable infantry on Rex. 4 is too few and 8 is probably too high. 6 sounds about right. My racial out in the wind is a huge risk to my game so I'm not much interested in sweetening the pot much beyond that.

I'm not interested In fighting you on territory. We've worked out planet borrowing in the past. There is a hazardous planet I would like to borrow next round as well but we can work that out later once we finish our current negotiations.

This is more likely what I am going to do. As once my dudes on Rex are dead I have only nevant as the path and you are clogging the works.

[twelve]

And D'rek there is no way I'm likely to do the deal for Silvano any time soon because of the current situation I'm in. Feel free to let, who was it? Nom? Borrow it for the skip. But down the road if the opportunity is still open I'll still take you up on it.

Yeah, I figured that'd be the case now. Though let's see, who knows maybe none of your planets will get disarmed after all.

Odd choice. Doesn't everyone except me owe you a free refresh now? So you're basically only gaining 3 trade goods from taking Trade, as you'd get the 4 free commodities regardless. Seems like a weak choice compared to 9 influence worth of CTs from Leadership; or a refresh of 6 influence from Diplomacy; or using Logistics to take Daemon, get a space dock on it, remove the CT, and build...

Or I declog the beta wormhole and you go through that and Silvano.
