It is tempting to stall though and hang on to starpoint for another round.

2 actions, 1 action card I play warfare on turn 4, if I used pop to stall it would be turn 5.

Ah yes, total brainfart

You've already exhausted it this round, probably I'll have an earlier SC than you next round and take it first turn, so the only benefit you'd get out of this would be 1 vote in this agenda phase. Really worth it?

IH - how would you feel about my coming in and taking Gral without you coming in behind and swiping Mehar Xull?

I'll post the trade of my racial for your SftT on this turn if you'll do the ceasefire swap on your next turn. Does that work for you?

I pick before you so I would likely be higher in initiative. And I don't think I'll do it, I'm just saying it's tempting!

I thought we'd already agreed that I'd take centauri gral, and that we would work out a deal once I'd scored the PO for you to move in and use gral to score?

I'm not keen on this and I could see this resulting in conflict. The path of my nascent saar ball pretty much has to go through that system. I'm happy to work out a deal where I leave it empty so you can move in later and score that PO without losing my sftt.

1. I don't think it would get round to me
2. I don't want to encourage twelve to send a warsun my way
3. I likely wouldn't be able to take full advantage of it and score 2 POs

Oh and those details of the trade work for me. I will ceasefire swap on my turn.

Yeah, I figured as much, just thought I'd see if it was something we could do - do you think you can actually score the PO this round if you take it? I would definitely move out of there next round and leave it to you, but if you absolutely must take it this round, then so be it, I'll stick to our agreement.

[D'rek]

@Twelve - did Tatts ever actually confirm he was accepting that trade? It's not the same as what he proposed previously.

[twelve]

It amounts to the same thing and was my counter proposal but you are right. It isn't what he stated. I'm leaving it as is and if he pipes up to the contrary then I'll amend my post.

Yup, sounds good. I edited in the pillage assuming it'll stay unchanged as well.

[D'rek]

@Tatts - you've been ignoring me after my last reply to your suggestions. And now you've presumably agreed to trade all your commodities to Twelve. So are you still trading 2:2 with me, or was that all a big lie after all?

[D'rek]

It's been a slow progression today, I don't really wanna wait around another 6 hours for Tatts to get back and reply... IH, are you still up for washing my commodities? You could edit 0:2 into your turn and then I'll put 2:0 in mine right after?

[Tattersail_]

I'm here reading up.

[Tattersail_]

So so I am on 4 tgs after the deal with Twelve?

So Drek, I will wash your commodities only if you do not pillage. Otherwise there's no point.

I have not broken deals with you so far and acted in good faith.

That's fine. Will you use my racial when I pop leadership next turn.

Agreed

Yup, the first two deals stand and they are being resolved to my satisfaction, and I hope yours.

Shame we couldn't work out a mutually beneficial third deal at this time, but I have no ill will from you trying to arrange one.

Yes. I'm using it right away to drop 2 more dudes on Meer

IH you have Zohbat listed in your planets do you mean starpoint?
