OK I'll explore ne from my home world.

Is this a two or 3 person alliance?

It would be a 3-person alliance.

I will probably be out for a few hours within the half hour. Is IH settling the hex?

Also, D'rek, will you be drawing the tile for Tattersail for his explore provisional soon?

[twelve]

Actually I'll just go ahead and put in my provisional as well.

Explore SW of Eta Cassiopeiae Hex 225

I forgot that he had done such a thing.

I'll go ahead and settle the hex and populate the advanced money planet. Attach the wormhole to 225 so the wormholes are facing NE - SW.

D'rek,

The main map looks a bit off. I think IH's interceptor was destroyed and the money planet on that hex was populated. IH can correct me if I'm wrong.

That's what you guys are for! You tell me when I forget stuff! Interceptor deleted for the next map update. I already have the money planet populated, and I don't think IH ever colonized the materials planet because at the time he needed his last colony ship to get +1 money. He can colonize it any time this round, but there's no downside in him waiting until the upkeep phase.

I meant the materials planet not the money but I wasn't sure if he had a colony ship available or not. i couldn't quite remember.

Okat claim hex please. Colonize

I'll be honest right now, I have no direction to where I am going or what I am doing. I keep thinking this would be cool, or this would be. Everyone else seems to be building ships and readying themselves for attack. I've been researching and exploring. I could build a Dread this go or next and Upgrade it with Fusion drive, advanced hull and computer.

The thing is up until today I was playing with the mindset that I could take any research at any time. So I was planning my game around that, advanced materials and conifold would both be mine. So now with that option taken away from me I am thinking of exploring and colinizing money planets, maybe build an orbital this round or a couple of them next round and put money cubes on them.

What are monoliths? What do they do, what is the advantage of them?

If I do explore and research does that leave me open to attack from D'rek or others? Any experienced players want to lay it out to me?

I am more than likely going to explore again and hopefully get something cool. Would anyone attack one of the ancients near me? So should I build a Dread, upgrade it and attack this go or leave it one more round?

As an experienced player, i'll have to be honest with you. I was too polite to say anything before, but maybe I should have. You, my friend, are royally screwed. Fubared, as they say. There is simply no hope for you, you may as well put down those influence discs you've been licking (and what is with that anyway?) and go home. That last move...I mean, what on earth were you thinking? Insanity! You colonise when you should research, build when you should upgrade, explore when you should pass. Have you learned nothing from watching me?


I despair, honestly I do. Frankly, you've wastec all of our time. As an experienced player, that is my advice to you. Sweetcheeks.

Back to me then,

Build 3 interceptors


sorry bout the lack of computerized roleplay. Too busy the last couple of days.

That sucks!

You watch me transform my game around.

[cerveza_fiesta]

BTW, how many tiles are left to explore?

[D'rek]

Guys, when you submit actions or respond to hex draws or w/e, please give me all the relevant details. We've now gone almost all the way around the board back to IH and I have no idea how he wants to orient his hex, whether he wants to influence it or discard it, etc. Tattersail, you even made a seperate post indicating you want to to influence+colonize the hex, but not mentioning how you want to orient it? CF, build 3 interceptors where???!!!

Whomever owns the hex they are in at the end of the game gains an extra 3 VP (basically it is like they make a hex worth 3 more VP)

8 draws left

Any hex I draw I will let you decide how you want to orient it. Is that okay?

[cerveza_fiesta]

ha, just realized I didn't give the deets just before I read your post. Sorry modulator.

Build all 3 in my home system.

Not really a good long-term policy. ie it might make a difference for twelve if he sees you setting up tons of half-wormholes towards him vs not doing so. By me deciding twelve or I don't get to try and read your intentions.
