@Hedgethorn How about 3TG, your trade note, and an agreement to not pillage us until after Trade has been played again (i.e. including not during the action in which Trade is next played)?

On second thought, I'll just lose the point. Not interested after all, @Ketar.

I believe it is your turn. Oh wait, you passed didn't you. This round, like the agenda phase, never ends.

In the end it opens my plays up a little -- I passed on a couple aggressive moves that round to avoid possibly losing a combat and giving away a point inadvertently.
This is a dumb reason to not sabotage.
Who is going to sabotage an Agenda phase card?
Every other card is going to happen in not-the-payee's turn.
Gee.
Claim Modernise Weaponry - Have two unit upgrades - 1 VP
and Claim SO Become the Gatekeeper - 1 VP But don't use a Creuss token, or teleport via MR, nooo you have to suicide into a Dreadnought with a Cruiser and Destroyer

I'm reasonably sure I need to discard them face up, but I've been wrong several times before so I'll hang on for confirmation. The rules reference doesn't mention it under action cards and there is no discard section

Seeing it's a three-way tie, I propose a N'orr/Mentak/Winnu alliance, where you two go pirating together, we do all the paperwork, and we just settle this whole nasty war business right now.
