Twelve what are you thinking of border lines?

[Galactic Council]

Alright, everything is set up! As noted in the game thread, we'll finish up the first strategy phase in here and I'll add your strategy card selection to the initial post I've done for each of you in the game thread. Once we get through the Strategy Phase, I shall open up the game thread and we'll get the 1st Action Phase going!

[Imperial Historian]

Thanks Blend

I'd pay you if I was asking something specific but was wondering what you'd like to determine early. I'd assume you'd want a straight run to Mec Rex? Border would be me having Arnor Lor. You having anything West of that. I'll probably need those two to fend off whatever IH is planning with his bully tactic.

Well, I suppose Leadership will be my choice then.


No, wait, Logistics is available?


Ah, we're on the standard cards now. I didn't realise. Leadership it is.


I am clearly incapable of making decisions, but I've changed my mind and will pick politics.


No, it's too early in the morning clearly. I had forgotten why I wanted to go for Leadership in the first place. I am Muaat.

As I said what will you pay for them? I am sitting on warfare so plan on picking up a good round 1 haul of planets. And that system is on my to do list, deal or no deal. And what you are willing to pay for me to vacate them after I exhaust them will factor in on us reaching said deal.

A bit surprised you didnt grab politics but as Saar I guess construction makes a fair bit of sense.

I'm not looking to be extorted. I thought you'd come to a friendly agreement this early to continue a good relationship throughout this game. Obviously you have other plans. No you are not getting my research agreement. That's what you are hinting towards. If anyone wants that they're going to have to pay me not the other way round.

You are the Jol-Nar sandwiched between two war races. Extortion is your fate this game I fear.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm a bit surprised you are being so aggressive tatts, the saar seek only to live there nomadic lifestyle. I don't want to get in unnecessary conflict or bully anyone but my fleet will be moving into bereg lirta, I hope we can enter into a productive relationship once we are neighbours.

And as your racial PN doesn't cost you anything to trade away, and you can potentially do it twice a turn I don't value it that highly vs you getting the resources you need to run away with the game.

Tatts, Morgoth, d'rek as likely neighbours I hope we can come to mutually beneficial agreements. I have an interest in yellow tech skips I hope that saar travel through lands you have interests in to reach one can be an example of peaceful freedom of movement and trade.

All the saar are hardworking so if you feel your lands are unduly threatened by rapacious marauders please apply for a force of hired hands to defend your citizens and we will quote very reasonable rates.

Do I sound aggressive? That wasn't my intention. Your post rings of flowers and happiness when you are a rolling death ball of a race. I'll never have your good natured destruction vibes.

Troubles of picking last in the snake ladder? Limited in location, hampered by choice. Next game I'd prefer to hide race choice from others until the game starts.

Nom any chance of a free refresh this round? I promise to return the favour.

There is no reason a rolling death ball can't have flowers and happiness! Peace to all!

I would also be interested in a free refresh and would return the favour.

It is kind of aggressive to tell your neighbour that you think the system equidistant between you should be all yours by default and they should just suck it up... especially when I think Twelve could simply take all of Arnor/Lor this round and there's not much you could do about it?
