You never know, we could be allies! You trust me don't you?

Me

Yes! I am well excited about my first foray in to TI.

I believe that's us full... Any reserves? I'll sort out random races later this week.

Race choices are live...

KarlB: Emirates of Hacan or Shardak-Norr
Steve: Ghosts of Creuss or Embers of Muaat
Player 3: Federation of Sol or Nekro Virus
PaulG: Yin Brotherhood or Mentak Coalition
Jamie: L1Z1X Mindnet or Arborec
Aneurin: Barony of Letnev or Universities of Jol-Nar
JohnH: Xxcha Kingdom or Winnu
TomW: Naalu Collective or Yssaril Tribes

Player order (and seating position) as above...

So Jamie/John shall we discuss the terms of our alliance now?

I'm leaning towards Winnu, but I'm going to hold off on making a decision until I see what other people pick

Is that the player order with Karl #1?

I'll ally with you if you attack Jamie

Seems reasonable! Jamie... I need all your trade goods every turn or it's war

John - you are responsible for stopping Tom winning again... you do realise that...

Greetings space friends! Seems some peeps just can't let go of the past!

Well, if they want to force a blood bath, looks like you're right in the middle of it Aneurin. That's not my choice of course.

Also, you mention trade goods...

Generally, I am happy to bribed if I'm getting a good deal. However, bitter experience has taught me that some people cannot be taken at their word; and so naturally, I will require my end of the bargain to be secured, before making any payment. This naturally applies to those of you who have proven yourselves untrustworthy.

Have a nice day!

Never trust a Lannister

Nice to be sat between my good buddies Aneurin and Paul G. Looking forwards to this.

Good buddies who need tributes in the form of trade goods... Ask TomC what happens if you don't

Interesting to see the 4 'experienced' players (myself, Paul, Steve and Tom W) separated...

Sorry, we're fresh out of trade goods here good buddy; maybe try extorting some from your other neighbour?

But I trust him...

I'm gonna need to do some research...

Wow, good to see negotiations have already started. Of course, I would like to reassure you all that my intentions are completely peaceful. Peaceful, peaceful pirates.

Ill be the Mentak.

See Jamie - if you don't give them to me Paul will just steal them

You trust me too...

I trust that at some point you will back-stab me... so in a way yes.

There are a few good video tutorial series on YouTube Karl.

This one isn't too long: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL31B6F4B63F5E406A

Or you could try: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdy1qRpPZSuQyUKjvGZmsCz4tCve5V_nD

I can upload my SC secondary tracker sheet; so you know which TC's have been used, and also, what the secondary ability on each TC does. Or I can just print a few out and bring them along, if anyone wants one?

I'm shocked and saddened my good buddy would think such a thing!
