You're being an asshole over two techs that everyone might not even get. From here on out in this game ask me for nothing. I want nothing from you in return including Destroyer 2s that may help against the Saar threat. Such a weird move I cannot get my head around it.

It's not just your fault though. Twelve was silly to make Drek not vote on this agenda. For how many tgs? Which he will probably give to Drek anyway.


Typical Tatts move - "I didn't get what I wanted, so I'm just going to retaliate by hurting my game just to hurt yours!"


Nothing to do with the agenda now. It's your tone. Entitlement.

We wouldn't be having this discussion if you voted hours ago seem as you're so set in your ways.

But fine, you're right, I'm the one that started calling anyone an idiot outright... Still, it's not very difficult to understand the subtext of everyone's posts following the above two. I love how it's okay for you all to make me feel like an idiot just because you didn't outright call me an idiot. You guys are paragons of fucking virtue.


Frankly, I don't think anyone has used language that ought to make you feel like they were insulting your intelligence, rather than just trying to make persuasive arguments that will change your mind.

Guess I must be a sensitive overreacter then.

I voted about 3 hours ago. I got up, saw the new PO, checked to see if anyone wanted to actually do anything to encourage me to vote elsewhere, figured out no one would and then voted, but continued to talk to you guys about how I think it's a shame that none of you are actually very invested in seeing things go any specific way given you don't want to actually do anything to encourage me to vote against the way I would prefer the agendas go.

JFC I'll give you 2 TG to change all your votes to FOR and we all stop talking about this immediately.

To be fair I got paid for it and I thought the votes were tied but it looks like a miscalculation/misinformation that lead to that mistake.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Turns out Blend taking Quann off me is making a big difference right now.

And Blend when I take Trade I'll throw you a free refresh in too on top of D'reks 2 tg

I will change my votes to FOR in exchange for 2TGs from Drek and a free refresh from Twelve.

Post the trade, Drek, and I'll switch my votes.

Wow this blew up.

At best it's a 50:50 shot between destroying my ships and empowering me. I expect to be left with maybe 3 planets by the end of the next round. I'm in a good position but not THAT good a position.

Twelve has the most points, and both blend and d'rek have positioned themselves well. This is still anyone's game.

I've left a provisional with Morgoth to move my votes to FOR if Drek posts the trade, to leave them at AGAINST if she decides not to.

Right, I enjoy a little aggressive negotiation as much as the next lawyer, but this stuff here on the last page is uncalled for. We argue, we push, we struggle and we curse, but we're not mean. We're all friends here, even D'rek though she's a dirty pirate, and we do not talk to each other in this way! Had this been around my table I'd tell you all to take a time out and have a beer, but as things are different here online I'll just ask you to remember that our behavior directly impacts the game and every players enjoyment of it. The way we act decides the quality of the game, for the others and for ourselves.

Well said morgoth.

I've left this complicated provisional.

If no trades are done in game thread all my votes against ixthian artifact.

If blend accepts 2tg from drek switch all my votes to twelve for minister of commodities.

If blend accepts 2tg from drek and tatts posts accepting deal for his votes on me fot d'reks racial PN switch all my votes to me for minister of commodities

I also love you all despite this and apologize for allowing it to get out of hand, whether or not I felt justified.

You're not assholes, but should still eat a bag of dicks. <3
