It's also not hard to make the leap from the Greater Good to Pandora.

Have people already forgotten that this entire crusade was a scheme by the High Lords to effectively remove us from power for a few years, so they could act unopposed? Every year we spend here is another year they have to prepare a way to corner us again, like they did here.

We dont know that it could just be a couple high lords with hate boner for them.
I think they'll get the message that this is perhaps not the best way to stop Pandora from accruing influence, after this.

Hi
Kaboom here
You've all made some damn good plans, plans that get both the Imperium and Tau relatively happy with the deal.
And that got me thinking.
What would the worst plan be?
So, after clearing it with Swordo, I'm here to announce the Burning Bridges contest!
The rules are simple.
Quote this message and post a plan that gets imperium and tau acceptance as low as possible. (Please don't put Xs in the plan)
The lowest total acceptance rating (say your plan has imperium at -4 and tau at -3. It adds up to -7, and thats the total acceptance rating) wins.
That being said, if either acceptance rating is above 0, you're disqualified.
The winner wins....
Something
We'll figure it out.
So, burn as many bridges as possible, and may the worst plan win!
Edit: You may use write ins, but only ones already existing or that Swordo has already vetoed
No new shit.

At it's core the Greater Good is about people working together towards a common goal. Incorporating aliens is a policy of the Tau Empire that grew from that idea. The Tau preachers are likely to excise the 'make friends with aliens' ideas given who their target audience is.
Edit:
The Greater Good was first conceived of as a way to unite the disparate Tau tribes. Making peace with aliens is not central to the philosophy.

-[][IMP] Permit the Imperial Navy basing rights
-[][TAU] Grant the Tau Empire full claim to the Damocles Gulf
-[][TAU] Allow Rogue Traders to operate freely within Tau space
Final Tally: -6 Imp Acceptance, -2 Tau Acceptance, +1 Pandora Stress

You could also add in the deathwatch fortresses for +3 Imperial -3 Tau as well if you want. Really, Its a matter of choosing every net negative you and then choosing the even ones to make sure both sides are mad at you.

2/2, not 3/3, but yeah I could. But since lowest total wins, not plan where the highest single acceptance is lowest, it makes no real difference either way.

[ ] Plan Declare Total War And Launch The Sneak Exterminatus Attack
No idea what is happening I just saw this notification and wrote shit. Bye!
If the aim is to piss off as many people as possible, then negative imperial favour is more valuable than negative Tau favour. There are also only two options that are net negatives, so -3 from the starting total of -5 is the best you can get. With that in mind...
[] Dear God Why
-[][IMP] Permit the Imperial Navy basing rights
-[][IMP] Deathwatch is allowed to build Watch Fortresses in Tau border regions
-[][TAU] Help the Tau establish a Telepathica Campus
-[][TAU] Grant the Tau Empire full claim to the Damocles Gulf
-[][TAU] Allow Rogue Traders to operate freely within Tau space
for a total of -7 Imperial/-1 Tau, (-8)

No, the Creed is not explicitly xenocidal. It was posted just above. It says to abhor the alien, not to kill the alien. If the Imperial Creed were explicitly xenocidal, the Imperium wouldn't have categories of "Xenos Horrificus" (Tyranids and the like, shoot on sight, an actually xenocidal designation) and "Sanctioned Xenos" (permitted to land on Imperial worlds for peaceful trade, and work in the service of Rogue Traders).
Games Workshop being the general mess it is, though, you can find one writer saying there's enough Sanctioned Xenos and acceptance thereof that Hive World Necromunda has a permanent marketplace for xeno trade, and another writer saying that the Cold Trade with xenos is so illegal that Rogue Traders have to be careful to hide even xeno goods from the Inquisition.
Swordo seems to lean towards the latter interpretation of the Imperium.

Actually, Rogue Traders can and do usually just sell their shit on the open market. The only people who can really stop them are Inquisitors, and in many cases those Rogue Traders are Inquisitors, so...
Can we get a non-canon side story about reactions of the winner being negotiated? Preferably with some violence to satiate my urge to purge which I am admirably holding back.

Huh. Good to know. That makes me feel a bit more optimistic about the "[][TAU] Permit limited trade and border access along the Tau-Imperial Border" concession.

If you want it, you gotta write it yourself, because I sure ain't
I'm not entirely sure I want to read various flavors of "Pandora wtf you ruined everything" but if it happens I will anyway, like looking up a Bad Ending when you're afraid to go for it intentionally.
