Which means Buying 1 Food off the market. Eh. How much will that cost me?
Two, actually - you need to feed your other planet too. "First-come-first-serve" seems like it should mean "first to actually come up with the resources", so, the contract is still live if you want to save your money!

Incidentally, you didn't put a price on food in the OP, but I infer from the pattern it must be 50M?

Planet defaults to sustenance farming, so no. Just means I don't get an army this turn.

Can Prestige be spent on anything?

I thought it was a "First one to actually cough up the goods", not "First to say yes".

Will be interesting to see what happens to someone who fails a Levy though. Unless you'd like to buy a Food from me for not-quite-gouging prices?

100M₣ (which incidentally is exactly as many as you currently have)

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Food is sold for 5M₣ and bought for 100M₣. Because it spoils or something.

No, Prestige is "victory points" (useless but determines who wins.)

Ahhh, so I was supposed to read that as "both at 100M₣", okay.

Well, this is a great outcome as far as I'm concerned.

I'll sell one food to you for 80 MF, or 50 MF and half the Prestige you receive from the Levy. Gouging? Yes, but not quite as bad as the League Market.

Nope.

No clue what this means.

I'd rather that money disappear into imperial coffers than give my foes for the throne that much money to use.

Sell my extra 1 food to the League for 5M₣. I'm not a "cooperate with defectors" kind of guy.

Kashyyk, what do you say to
Quote from: Awesome Fun-Time Contract
Kashyyk agrees to give three (3) ore to Maximum Spin. In exchange, Maximum Spin agrees to produce one (1) fleet to be used for mutual benefit. For insurance purposes, Maximum Spin will be the controller of the fleet, but agrees that the fleet will only be used for mutual profit unless re-organized by future contract accepted by both parties.

Very well.

I sell one Food to the League for 5 MF, and feed my mining Planet, to get three Ore.

I'll thrn agree to the Awesome Fun-Time Contract, and thus give three Ore to Maximum Spin.

Perfect. I send the ore to my shipyard and produce one Awesome Fun-Time Happy Fleet as per contract.

In case no-one wants to sell 1 food(price negotiable, including 2 prestige), end of turn will include me buying the extra food from galactic market.

Turn will be processed in about 8 hours, unless anyone wants an extension.
