    eh, probably, there's been too much bloodshot in this galaxy-you all need to chill out.

    Take a tactical action, activating Mecatol Rex-Moving in 2 destroyers and 1 carrier w/ 1 fighter and 1 mechanized infantry from Lodor, Carrier picks up both GFs from Wellon on the way

    So @SeGaTai , looks like you won't be needing those trade goods what with the center, but would you be willing to send 3 trade goods my way and I'll target someone else with my pirate fleet?

    Probably Jol-Nar.

    You know half your TGs are currently coming from me right. If you need material to help reign in some of the other expansionist powers we might be able to help out later, not sure how much I'm going to need to build this turn to remove those dreadnoughts, holding the center doesn't actually do a lot of good besides getting me a VP this round.

  • Void SlayerVoid Slayer Very Suspicious Registered User regular
    Oh I wasn't talking about breaking any agreements or attacking, but I have immediate financial needs myself and taking 3 from you and 2 from Jol-Nar would be much better for me then just taking 4 from you and wiping out the rest of your trade goods.

    It's nothing personal, but honestly, if Jol-Nar is left alone to tech up you will steamroll everyone.

    Given that neither Caliber nor I have ever played before I have to say that sounds unlikely, but okay.

    So just for clarification, what is it you're doing, now? Demanding we and the Creuss hand over Trade Goods, or just trying to get some TGs from the Creuss before you go ahead and attack us regardless?

  • Void SlayerVoid Slayer Very Suspicious Registered User regular
    Oh sorry no, I will be trying to steal all of someone's trade goods with an action card, then I get half of it and the other half go back to the pot. It is rounded down so I will only get 4 from Creuss, but if they hand me 3 and I steal 2 from you guys instead I'll have 5 total.

    It's win-win for Cruess, well, compared to what would have happened if I just did it without trying to negotiate.

    Oh, I see. Carry on then.

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    I'm going to tell you straight up that your attempts at stealing from me via action card are going to net you a big goose egg so you will have better luck with Jol-Nar.

    It looks like you have enough resources to build a war sun or an equally sized force. You have one of the safest positions on the map so far with the empty space between you and the Yin and I have no interest in going near your space (as evidenced by leaving Tar'Mann to you) and L1z1x assimilating my space ghosts.

    Also if you allow me to stockpile some resources I will eventually get slave wormhole generator and put a nice B wormhole gate somewhere fun for you to continue burning the galaxy.

    If it's any consolation, we aren't so much assimilating your space ghosts as we are sticking them in jars and lining them up on the wall. Sometimes the Overmind runs a current through the jars to watch the gases inside change colour.

    Geez, just a little piracy and your all willing to break trade deals?

    Well never mind then.

    Muaat will play Privateers, targeting Jol-Nar.

    Didn't Muaat have 5 trade good before, so 5 + 4 = 9?

    Half of (what once were) our TGs go to the bank. Piracy is inherently inefficient.
