Whereas Maximum Spin wants the ability to backstab people, but is willing to pay a high price to do so;

The following changes are made to the SLGPASA:
Removed: "You cannot un-sign"
Removed: "Violating this pact gives all remaining signatories a casus belli against you (that is, they will be justified in attacking you, without suffering a prestige penalty)."
Added: "You can withdraw from this Pact only by giving all remaining signatories a casus belli against you. That is, they will be justified in attacking you, without suffering a prestige penalty."

To be adopted, this Amendment must be approved by all existing signatories:
-NUKE9.13: YES
-C2M:YES
-Rockeater: YES
-evictedSaint: YES (I have the right to sign on eS's behalf)
-EuchreJack: YES

Also open to joint attacks versus rebel scum.  I can contribute fleets.

Ignore my offer to hire armies, I missred the rebel forces

[EuchreJack]

The Emperor is seeking nobles to wage war upon the Rebel Scum on Rock, Plough, and Naboo, and Blacksand Industries has extra ships to assist in escort duty for any forces seeking to invade any of these worlds. Blacksand Industries offers one (1) fleet to aid a force consisting of a minimum of 1 fleet and 1 army in exchange for 2 prestige if the planet is successfully conquered and bequeathed to a minor noble, or 3 ore compensation if no bequeath occurs. One turn rental only.

I think this could use some clarification. "one (1) fleet to aid a force consisting of a minimum of 1 fleet and 1 army" sounds like there must already be one fleet, making a total of two; but I don't think that's what you mean. If it isn't, I'll be happy to join with my contracted army.

I am also interested in asks for newfound planets.

Re: the contract: Now I'm not sure what to sign. a1s, can I just do this:

Whereas sneak attacks on planets or fleets are hard to defend from, as you may have already deployed fleets/armies elsewhere, or be unable to acquire them at short notice;
Whereas I think it would be more fun if everyone had at least one turn's warning before being attacked;
Whereas I just want to write contracts because that's what the genre is supposed to be about;

All signatories to this Pact agree to refrain from attacking each other without giving the other party one turn's notice. This notice must be given at least 24 hours before the turn changes, cos giving it just before the turn changes wouldn't give the attacked party time to react.
This Pact does not cover those who have not signed the Pact. Those who have signed the Pact are encouraged to shun those who have not, as by not signing they demonstrate untrustworthiness.
You can withdraw from this Pact only by giving all remaining signatories a casus belli against you. That is, they will be justified in attacking you, without suffering a prestige penalty.
This Pact may only be modified with the consent of all signatories.
Anyone can sign this Pact at any time.

-NUKE9.13

-evictedSaint

since everyone has agreed to the amendment?

Uh, no.
I was specifically offering a second ship to accompany a ship + army combo.
Due to the combat rules, a single ship has a 1-in-3 chance of encountering the rebel fleet, where there is a 50/50 chance of a single ship losing to the rebel's single ship.
By adding a second ship, those odds get better.

If I were to commit to transporting your army, I'd be asking for more prestige.  And I'd probably commit both my fleets if you had no fleet to contribute.
I'd accept 3 prestige, leaving you with 2 prestige, and remove the ore contingency in favor for an outright commitment to donate the world rather than keep it.

MAXMAXMAX: Amended contract! I've decided to only ask for 2 prestige, since I can't get prestige without your Army. I've also kept the ore compensation, in case your Army is unsuccessful in the invasion, or the statistically less likely (but possible) event of both my fleets dying occurs.

You know I don't have ore, right? At all? If you want to contract with me you should probably make it food, to be delivered from my food gain next turn.
I am otherwise totally willing to sign on. I don't know why nobody else showed any interest in contributing a fleet.

Accordingly, ACTACTACT: dispatch fleets and the People's Liberation Army to Naboo, to be conquered and given away for prestige.

[a1s]

TURNTURNTURN

Blacksand Industries dispatches 2 fleets to Naboo, They encounter 1 enemy fleet. After a short battle, Blacksand Industries emerges victorious without losses. The sky cleared, Djugashvili & Associates deploy the People's Liberation Army to Naboo. The local militia is no match for trained soldiers. Naboo is conquered and bequeathed to a minor noble. Blacksand Industries receives 2 prestige and Djugashvili & Associates receives 3.

Cancer Planeta and Chia Interstellar dispatch 2 fleets to Plough, who secure the planet's orbit without a battle. Cancer Planeta deploy an army to Plough. The local militia gives a pretty good showing but are still bested by a professional army. Plough is turned over to a minor noble. Cancer Planeta  receives 3 prestige and Chia Interstellar receives 2.

Count of Two Marches explores the great unknown. They discover a mineral rich asteroid field (potential mining world.)

The Emperor is pleased with the way the war is going.

Enemy holdings consist of 1 planets:
Rock: a mining world
They appear to have no fleets and no armies.

For each of the rebellious planets conquered you may either:
Transfer the planet to a minor lord (effectively removing it from the game) and gain 5 prestige.
or
Keep the planet for yourself earning you a demerit worth 5 prestige.

In other news, a merchant needs some machines

Provide 5 machines for up to 125 M₣

And finally, it's everyone's least favorite time of the year- tax season.

Provide 10M₣ per planet owned or lose 2 prestige
