I guess I shouldn't be surprised but for whatever reason I thought the influence disks removed because of battle went on after upkeep same as the population cubes. Guess not.

So did Em kill any of my planets?

Nope. I was wondering that too but D'rek updated the battle post and he missed on both shots. Too bad for you. It would have worked out better if he had.

Did you perhaps want to colonize your shellworld at the start of the upkeep phase, too?

[D'rek]

Just waiting on Khell and IH to finish upkeep phase, then.

Also, it'd be a good idea for everyone to count up their points and compare it to my count for when I post the start of round 9. My current count (assuming IH deos not remove anything) is 31 / 37 / 20 / 23 / 29 / 37 / 20

This has been bugging me for a while. I think that the points for hexes should only count if you hold them to the very end. Tatts (Not going to call him anything else) should not get points for hexes that he doesn't own. That goes for everyone else. If you lose hexes in the final round you lose those points. Say Khell loses his homeworld to CF. How can Khell and CF both get the 3 points for the hex (not counting shrines for Khell)? That doesn't make sense.


And my point total looks good.

Of course you only get points for hexes unless you hold them until the end. Otherwise my points would not have just dropped to 23. I'm just doing a running tally of what the points are *right now* after every round, because for people who have never played before it'd be helpful to see how they are doing I guess and not go three months until the game ends and then realize "Oh darn I wasn't actually doing anything that gives me points?"

How does Khell have 37?

I count 12 for the hexes
8 for the shrines
7 for reputation tiles
1 for tech
5 for the shellworld
2 for the discovery tile

that's 35. What am I missing?

Ahhh. I almost missed the discovery tile the first time I tried to figure it out myself but could figure out what I was missing the second time through.

Well that then bumps up CF's total to 33 as I forgot to add his alliance tile when I double checked his point total.

CF we really need to figure out how we are going to get enough total points to leap Khell. I think we need you to take the ShellWorld Hex or Khell's homeworld and be to hell with the traitor card. The traitor card only take 1 point from our average so it's not that big of a deal. But taking either one of those hexes will drop Khell's total down 6 or 7 plus bumps you up either 3 or 6. Yes the Shellworld hex is definately the better choice.

Downtime in ten minutes so no move from me yet.

[Tattersail_]

So looking at EM's board we can help only a little in the Twelve/CF take down, I think if we all concentrated on mauling one of the two players then their average will come right down. I can create either 2 cruisers, or a dread, then move into one of their hexes. What are your thoughts D'rek, Khell, IH? I cannot research anything so my weapons are weak and I have low computers. I am prepared to lose 3-4 hexes

Tatts,

You should use this opportunity to get revenge on D'rek and leave CF and me to win the game. Mwhahaha.
