He probably meant the last tier II sector left to explore.




As if you can read Khell's mind!

So with Khell's track record for self inflicting wounds for him and his team, does IH really even want him on his team.


Does Khell really even want IH on his team, or want to be in a team at all? Khell has so far blocked off EM quite easily, so there's just one person who can touch him for now. If things heat up and people are at each others' throats but Khell isn't involved he can just sit in his corner building shrines, exploring and researching, racking up points. If he joins an alliance and can't contribute ships to it, his partner just gets beaten down and Khell either loses points from betraying the alliance or gets his own points dragged down by averaging with his partner.

Hmmm, Very good point.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I've PM'd EM just in case he hasn't been following along. I think it's safe to say that he can make his move notwithstanding IH's decision and Khell's clarification on where he actually wants to explore.

You mean exploring NW from hex 318. You have no half-wormhole on the SW side of your homeworld to go through to get to the empty spot. Anyways, you uncover hex 201 (Alpha Centauri):

So Khell, you've no choice but to arrange it to connect to EM. Or you can discard it.

The Enlightened have been blinded by their own glory. I don't think I've taken one action yet where D'rek hasn't had to say, "Um, do you actually mean something else?"

Excellent. Before I decide on placing it - EM, would you like to have diplomatic relations with me, like we talked about earlier?

CF, feel free to take your action now since EM can't possibly impact you with his, yet (and I imagine you're going to explore on the west side).

Anyone else get a tad nervous with Khell, IH and EM all diplomatic-ing up?

One of the reasons I placed the offer with you. I'm not liking what's going on, on the other side of the board.

I don't mind everyone getting warm and friendly with peace pacts, but I don't want the game to split into one side vs the other side on round 2. That just seems like it will make the game less fun. Like how I didn't build a 2nd interceptor and move through the ancient to attack Tattersail in round 1 - seemed like it would just escalate and de-fun the game.

I was thinking you might do that. I would have had to build ships early.

I want to wait and see if he's going to research something. I have a few ways I could go with this turn and I want to know his action first.

I wish I was next to Khell. Then me and him could just explore our backyards, building shrines and orbitals and staying out of the rest of you's way while you fight over everything :)
