    *May change because:
    @ketar We are now neighbours. Unfortunately Hedgethorn can pillage if you pay your debt. Would you be interested in adding an additional 1:1 commodity swap on top of paying me the commodity for last turn's refresh? If not, I'm happy to extend your credit until I spend some of my trade goods.

    Also, it's your action

    Pretty sure you clear your debt by paying Hedgethorn, Ketar, unless Mojo_Jojo decides he doesn't want the trade good after all.

    As written, as agreed:

    OK, so here's what I've got for transactions for this period:

    Mentak 2 C <--> Naalu 2C: Completed on both sides.
    Winnu 3C <--> N'orr 3C: To be verified by @Preda. (N'orr)
    Letnev 2C <--> Naalu 1C: Completed on both sides. 1 TG taken by Mentak via Pillage.

    I'll post a game state update once Preda chimes in / after his turn.

    EDIT: No, actually, I'm just gonna post the update. I'll edit in the transaction results afterwards once confirmed.
