I feel like we can go ahead and assume Nom's turn is just a pass as there's literally nothing else he can do? So Twelve you could post your turn now. Blend can re-order them later if he wants.

I went ahead and finished up my round but technically if Nom wanted to do a trade with, well, I guess, you D'rek he could still do it before he passed. Though I'm pretty sure that isn't happening.

Being the first round status phase do we need to worry about the order?

Seems doubtful

[Galactic Council]

It's fine that everyone went forth with the start of the Status Phase given we haven't unlocked agenda phase yet, but I'd appreciate someone leaving me an extra post that I can stick my mod post in to separate out the phases. I'm now going to be moving a bunch of posts around so that I can stick in the mod post.

Well, we figured you'd be reposting them anyways. But noted for next time!

[twelve]

Isn't status before agenda anyway?

[Tattersail_]

Agenda only opens after Mec rex has been occupied.

(He wanted a space before we did Statuses)

[Galactic Council]

Yes, but I like having a mod post between the action phase and the status phase so that when I need to scroll through the game thread quickly, it makes it easier to find a specific round and phase.

Anyway, no biggie!

Just as a heads up, I will be going to visit the family from Thursday to next Monday (tomorrow's my birthday!) - will not be able to do map updates during that time. If we don't get through the status phase by tomorrow, I'll send Drek the next Public Objective so she can start the next strategy phase (no agenda phase yet as no one has unlocked MR).

Yes but after the action phase dont we the do Status then agenda?

I have 4 commodities begging to be traded.

I can probably swap some out next round when we come to some sort of agreement re:teq/torc, you've been pretty quiet about your intentions though.

I can probably switch my moves around so we are neighbours before you have to do the trade secondary if required.

[Morgoth]

We can make that work. I haven't got access to the map right now, but I'm taking the system between Nom and I this round, as he and I agreed earlier. Teq/Torc, I want that in the long run, but don't mind you taking it for a round on your path elsewhere.

[Imperial Historian]

Considering that the system is equidistant between us, and you'd struggle to take it and arinam/meer this turn anyway, that's not very generous of you

I'm not against you taking all of teq/torq, but I'm not going to cede it you in it's entirety and swap out your commodities without some quid pro quo.

Especially considering that if you follow that route you'll likely have a war sun on my borders.

I would like to take teq/torq, and wellon and be able to use there resources at least once before you take them back.

In return if you agree to leave my 'home' systems, quann, my homeworld, bereg lirta, and centauri gral alone, the saar ball won't contest you for your own core regions of arinam/meer, teq/toq, your homeworld and vefut(i'm happy to negotiate exceptions for scoring objectives), and I will swap out your commodities as much as I'm able to without being mentaxed.

We could do a ceasefire swap if that would help secure a lasting peace.

What are we waiting on? Should I do a placeholder?

We are still waiting on Nom. He needs to post his last turn (a Pass) and Status Phase posts.

[Galactic Council]

Nom hasn't done his status phase post yet.

Nom. He hasn't done his status update yet. Once he's done either D'rek or Blend will reveal the next public objective. Then IH can start the Strategy phase.

[twelve]

Hahaha. What are the chances all three of us do a cross post?
