Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 1: [Uncomfortable silence as he fondles his cubes]
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 2: Well, given that we are all equally matched in resources and technology, I propose a tweak to the incentive grid by offering a temporary mutually beneficial alliance that will last until it is no longer mutually beneficial.
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 3: What are the terms you offer?
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 1: [Uncomfortable silence as he continues to fondle cubes]
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 4: I propose a similar deal that includes the equal trading of diplomats, that way none of us benefits any more than anyone else.
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 2: I agree. Things should always be even and fair and balanced in every game or the game is imbalanced and therefore flawed and a poorly designed game.
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 3: I am uncomfortable with all of this table talk. I don't think we should allow metagaming here. I play games like Eclipse instead of Twilight Imperium so I can manage my cubes and not participate in table talk.
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 4: But it's not really metagaming if we all equally benefit, which is what I am proposing. What do you think, Reiner?
Eurogamer Playing Eclipse 1: [Scowls uncomfortably, and silently fondles his cubes.]
