Drek would you prefer to leave me alone?


Of course! I just really wanted Vega, and then was hoping the last discovery would be the ancient orbital (it was like a 15%) chance. And then KHELL STOLE MY ARTIFACT KEY YOU MONSTER

...ahem

But yes, right now I would much rather spend my materials on orbitals for more science than on war.




Wow, yeah, 4 artifacts, you could have done some damage with that :)


I was going to put it all, or at least 15 of it, into materials and build 3 orbitals :)

I would do 9 money and 3 materials if I were you.

I think it's fair to say that IH is going to upgrade this turn again.

Maybe, maybe not.

@IH - any thoughts on what I should be doing? Everyone seems to want to hurt us :) (which, of course, if they do it will leave Khell free to spend his metric ton of resources on his last shrines and the shellworld for about +10 points)

oh shit yeah sorry...I 100% meant to say 9 money 3 materials. I typed in a hurry and didn't specify (sorry). There's no way I'd deplete that many materials in a crucial battle round.

CF

I agree with what D'rek is saying about Khell and I realize that attacking IH is a reallllly bad idea unless we guarantee inititive AND we can kill off all his troops in the first round. I think that would be hard to accomplish. So I think we should let Tattersail put the hurt on D'rek we let IH come to us and we attack either EM or Khell or both.

And I also hope that whatever is going on isn't too serious also.

Drek just wants to scare you Twelve. Even with 10 points EM will pull down his average down maybe. If they are worried then why doesn't IH attack Khell? Answer is they'll be stronger than you if you'll leave them alone.

In fact I will attack you if you attack Khell. Because by pulling out I get fucked I think. Why not mass attack Drek and bring IH to you?

Let's make this simple twelve. You attack EM or me and I am building an armada right next to that warp portal and sending it all through. Tattersail will attack you at the same time, and IH and D'rek will take advantage and maraud you from the north.

We aren't attacking Khell because we're a bit busy with twelve and CF's giant fleets massing on IH's border! Look at the resources and incomes and you see that twelve and Khell are superstars and the rest of us are a notch or two below.

And I'm not kidding about Khell's points. Right now he's at:

Sectors - 12
Technology - 0
Discoveries - 2
Reputation - 4
Ambassadors - 3
Alliances - 2
Shrines - 6

for a total of 29 points. If left unchecked, he gets 3 more points for building 3 more shrines, another 3 points for his shrine bonus, at least 2 more points from getting his middle and bottom tech rows to 4, and he has enough resources to buy the shellworld for 5, which brings the total up to 42 points!

As for EM, well he's already said he will betray Khell for the spite of it, so I wouldn't count on EM dragging down Khell's score at all.

Basically, it seems Lyra are the reverse of Planta. You need to hit Planta early before they build up and become unstoppable, but Lyra you need to keep an eye on at the end when they start racking in the points if left alone.

So by pointing twelve at Khell you draw them both into a battle against each other while you sit back and warm your hands on a tattersail bonfire.

The best thing would be for twelve to go against ih, me against you, EM versus cf and leave Khell alone. Nope because Khell would win. So the best option is for Twelve to take my homeworld before you take it off me. I'm not in a winning position, not even close

You need to be more positive!

Right now you should be trying to convince twelve and CF to attack EM, IH to attack their exposed center, Khell to take advantage by attacking IH and me to defend IH from Khell, burning down everyone else while you grab the undefended homeworlds and points.

Drek I would.build orbitals this round but you betrayed me with Vega, I cannot trust you to not attack me this round.

So instead we have to go through the dance of you building ships, upgrading them and moving them at me, then I build elsewhere and counter-move into your hexes, and then you move to try and counter those, putting yourself so far into debt you have to remove a sector or two and still can't claim anything you won, while I end up losing a bunch of materials to an elaborate suicide attack that accomplishes nothing?

Sigh... if we must...
