Yes!  Purge the Thinking Machines!

No!  I love our robot overlords and support the inevitable uprising!

BEEP BOOP DOES NOT COMPUTE [¤_¤]

I sometimes think about the Emperor kissing my neck and putting flowers in my hair.

[Nirur Torir]

Being not poor is easy. Simply lead an attack on half the galaxy to plunder a single planet.

[evictedSaint]

Great idea!  I think I'll institute a tax on being poor next turn.

[Criptfeind]

I'm seeking mutual consent to amend the alliance attack contract in the following ways

The House of Sands will launch a full scale invasion of House Durin with 9 fleets. > The House of Sands will launch a full scale invasion of House Durin with a sufficient number of fleets to have 5 more fleets then are defending House Durin.
The House of Sands will launch 8 armies at Durin world Refinery 1 for 2^ + allied funds.  > The House of Sands will launch an attack with a sufficient number of armies to have 5 more armies then are defending at Durin world Refinery 1 for 2^ + allied funds, excess armies may be allocated to undefended worlds.
+ Unused attack funds will be returned to allies in proportion to the fleets and armies that are unused
+ More planets that are sized will be parceled out to the allies via negotiation next turn (we'll just have to trust Nirur here, but there's no way he'll do a backstab)

The timers coming up fast and frankly I'm too exhausted to think much more today. If the defensive alliance doesn't materialize, there's no need to commit everything we have.

[Kashyyk]

I'll support that edit.

[FiveBalesOfHay]

The edit works for me.

[Nirur Torir]

The Forge will loan 3 fleets and 2 armies to the House of Sands for this turn, and pay 17^ for attack fees.
House Harrak will loan 2 fleets and 2 armies to the House of Sands for this turn, and pay 12^ for attack fees.
House Sinister will loan 2 fleets and 2 armies to the House of Sands for this turn, and pay 12^ for attack fees.
The House of Sands will defend The Forge, House Harrak, and House Sinister if any are attacked attacked this turn, and promises not to attack either The Forge or House Harrak or House Sinister this turn.
The House of Sands will launch a full scale invasion of House Durin with 9 fleets.
The House of Sands will launch 8 armies at Durin world Refinery 1 for 2^ + allied funds.
Initial casualty distribution will be random. After a fleet or army takes casualties, that player's forces will be protected by the others, until all casualty counts are even.
If the invasion is successful, planet Refinery 1 will be given to the House of Sands.
All fleets and armies will be returned after combat.
This  contract can only be signed by houses named within it.
This contract can be dissolved by a majority vote of it's signatories.

Signed onto both.

Amending turn because I'm too poor, having not yet had the joy of pilfering this small planet at the cost of 50^+ in army fees.

Current attack:
No attack. Insufficient fleets to meet contractual demands.

[Criptfeind]

I don't think ES is going to let that fly, forcing him to parse the contract.

[Criptfeind]

The currently legal set up would be for you to post

7 Fleets attack House Durin
6 armies attack House durin landing on Refinery 1
1 army attack House durin landing on Refinery 2
1 army attack House durin landing on Farm 2

[Criptfeind]

Maybe Evicted saint would let you ACTACTACT link to that post and I can keep it updated as needed?

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Really guys, really. What can I offer you to not attack me?

[MonkeyMarkMario]

The Forge will receive 7^ and 1 alloy from House Durin.
House Harrak will receive 7^ and 1 alloy from House Durin.
House Sinister will receive 7^ and 1 alloy from House Durin.
The House of Sands will receive 7^ and 1 alloy from House Durin.

I'll consider this complete when all four players have signed it, or when three have and the fourth has explicitly refused.
