I was counting on that commander ability too.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

As d'rek said 9tg straight up is very different to this very complex deal, as I'm effectively washing your commodities and loaning you a stall.
I wouldn't even call it "washing the commodities" per se, since when we usually use that term it's not got the same time crunch that Mahact infantry impose (e.g. if, say, Tapper and Morgoth are negotiating to "wash" each other's commodities it doesn't typically matter if they do it immediately or a turn later). Twelve's desperation to throw the commodities at you before actually settling on a deal because of the last opportunity cost from him losing more infantry while commodity-capped makes it a whole other scenario with different leverages.
That said, I appreciate Twelve making that sort-of-a-gamble move just to keep the game going rather than leaving the game stalled while the negotiations go back and forth.

Wow. What an upset on that battle. Very cool prototype play though, Morgoth, I've never heard/thought of it being used on a ground combat before but fits perfectly with Sardakk doing it.

What is happening this round? Has the whole galaxy gone mad?

Twelve has found out a way to circumvent the stall so see what drek says about leadership stall now?
I am not so sure yet that he will actually pull that off. IH has not yet agreed to the deal so it's not settled. Furthermore, from the way Twelve phrased it, it seemed like he needed both IH to agree to his deal so he can stall with Fires of the Gashlai *and* Khell to play Leadership within 2 turns, so even if Twelve gets Fires of the Gashlai from IH that's not necessarily a complete circumvention of the Leadership stall yet.
Plus it would still be advantageous for me if he is forced to play Predctive Intelligence and move a token out of the fleet pool.
Tatts, you could use your last move to build in your home system, so not wasting resources, and then take Mallice next round (even exhausted, you’ll still get the 2TG, which you wouldn’t this round anyway as I’ve already used it). It’s not like I’m going to do anything in the meantime to try and keep Mallice as you’ll be keeping that dread fleet on my doorstep.
The likelihood you would still own Mallice if I did that us pretty slim.
If I only have one move left this round then I may as well make it count.

I’m as surprised as you are. I figured I’d take it back with my mech, but this is even better.

It was the perfect draw for my faction 😁

Drek and Khell, Leadership on the next turn or not?
Given the outcome of that battle?
If not then I don't think a deal can be forged.

Actually is that fine you'll play leadership or fine no deal can be reached?

Fine I will play it. As he said, with Twelve’s spectacular loss it doesn’t make much difference, and I’ll be much like Twelve otherwise probably.

So we are in agreement Khell, do you want to lay out your boundaries?
You agree to not use Vortex on me.
You agree to the 5 TGs and trade PN.
I agree to my votes on an agenda of your choosing. You'll let me know during status phase.
You play Leadership on your next turn.
Have I missed anything? Do you want to add anything?

No, that seems to be it. Except, when you say your votes do you mean ALL your votes this time?
