You had Warfare round 1, you don't get to complain about round 2 :p

One lucky person could get 1/2 way to this valuable victory point by buying a top of the range warsun. Please submit your bids for this superb example of muaat engineering.

Khell, why don't you go for Loki/Ab/Ash instead of Kraag/Siig? You'd get 3res/2inf out of it each round rather than 2res/2inf from Kraag/Siig, plus an additional explore, plus 2 of them are cultural so don't need to worry about losing the infantry. Puts both you and me in a more flexible geographic position, that way, too - like if you want to use the beta wormhole in the future I can clear the airspace for you to fly through it.



You make a strong case, but I'd prefer Kraag/Siig because it's a potential extra command token, whereas Loki/A/A is one short.

Khell if I leave you your choice of strategy what can I offer you to make me speaker?

A use of my agent?

Because we can't trust you to actually keep your word, you will have to overpay. My choice of strategy, use of your agent, your racial, your trade PN.

Hey Twelve, I plan on moving into Rigel next turn. I only built/brought 2 infantry, I will not invade the tech specialty planet you landed on.

If you move your dread out of the way, I'll trade you my trade agreement as compensation for the CT you spend on the move. Not entirely equal, but hey, you save the dread.

I was looking at the map yesterday and with the distribution of planets it makes sense for you and Khell to have 1 system each near my homeworld unless you opt for Everra instead of the Rigel system.

However these systems are right next to my home system. So while I dont have objections to you moving and claiming the systems I do have conditions to a peaceful arrangement and 1 request. Khell the conditions apply to you as well and please let me know which system you prefer.

The conditions are: you only bring in enough infantry/ no mechs to claim the planets. No structures are to be built and if anything other than a carrier is used to bring in those troops its cleared with me in advance and they vacate as soon as possible.

The 1 request for you, Tapper, is since you have only 2 infantry that you allow me to move the dread and infantry out but save the tech specialty until a later round to claim. I would like to use it on tech this round. And how soon do you need me to move out?

That's an easy favor to grant: sure, I will take the tech planet during round 3.

How soon is more difficult: it depends a little whether I act before or after you, Strategy wise. I plan to have at most 2 Tacticals, unless I take Warfare.

By the way I'm interested in buying action cards if anyone's pulled anything decent or better than they don't want themselves. Sabotages and flank speeds are top tier, of course. War Machine is also something I'm very interested in since my home space dock is on a measly 2res planet. Ghost Ship would be good since I have wormholes nearby, too.

By the way, if any of my neighbours attack someone (who is not me), you can say in your combat provisionals to Blend when/if you want to buy the Letnev PN for the measly price of 1 TG.

This keeps the speed throughout combat and won't require any waiting for negotiations with me.

My only other requirement is that the PN is then also played immediately.

What are your standing offers for those action cards?

Ahhh, I see how it is. You're more afraid of them than me, I guess :p

No. I literally added up the value of non home planets that would naturally be yours Tappers and Khells. Your value with what you currently at exceeded that of Tapper and Khells. I then added systems around me to Khell and Tappers count then added up what was left over for me and your three totals were roughly equivalent and what was left over for me was slightly higher. Since my homeworld would be in greater danger this seemed the most equitable distribution for all parties. Feel free to do the math yourself. If you find a better distribution feel free to point it out to me.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

2TG or a use of my agent is probably the standard rate for most decent cards. 3 or 4TG for the really strong ones like Unexpected Action/Signal Jamming. But I'm open to other non-TG-based deals, too.
