Twelve, your disco tiles are Ancient Tech and +5 Science

Khell hasn't said but I'm assuming that the order of the round will go counter clockwise this time as he was the second to pass.

So the ancient tech translate into Nanorobots correct?

I'll take them both

I'm assuming EM will influence and colonize - there's no reason for him not to. He'll get a +3 Money/+2 Science/+2 Materials discovery tile to take or keep for points.

IH, I don't think we can decide for. His upkeep is affordable right now with flipping his colony ships, but if he influences and colonizes he'll go bankrupt, so we need to let him choose. He said he'd be gone all weekend, but he might still check in a last time today, hopefully.

Dear machines,

Thank you for making your intentions clear. The Union Leadership had cast an eye on that sector for our use but with your transmission we will now only enter it to prevent the Orion Hegemony from taking it instead if they so choose to do so. We of the Union appreciate your offer to use that sector as a passage to the center but that option would only be available with the acceptance of an alliance between our two people which at this time is not in the Union's plans.

The Union would like to experience continued peace and prosperity between us and the Machines. May we both grow and prosper.

I'm kinda running around all over today, so I don't know if I have time to update all the boards at the moment... if you need your board updated to do upkeep let me know and I will do it, but if you don't that's great!

You colonized two science slots on that latest hex of yours, so your science is now actually 16. Everything else was good, so you don't need to re-post it.

THE MECHANEMA COLLECTIVE THANKS THE TERRAN UNION FOR ITS PROMPT REPLY. SHOULD THE ORION HEGEMONY ENCROACH ON THE COLLECTIVE'S ONLY ROUTE TO THE GALACTIC CENTRE, THEY SHALL BEAR THE FULL BRUNT OF THE MACHINES' WRATH. NO NEED TO DEFEND THE ZETA HERCULIS PARSEC IN OUR STEAD, FOR THIS COULD GRAVELY ENDANGER OUR THE STABILITY OF OUR DIPLOMATIC RELATIONSHIP.

THE COLLECTIVE IS PLEASED THAT THE TERRAN UNION HAS REALIGNED ITS PLANS TO ACCESS THE GALACTIC CENTRE SO AS TO MERGE PEACEFULLY WITH THE COLLECTIVE'S OWN.

I'll influence and colonise, to see what disc I get. Not checked the maths but I think if I colonise the two money planets and flip a colonyship for money I'm not bankrupt.

Otherwise take the disc off when im bankrupt, colonise the money planet and turn the extra colony ships into production.

Your current money in the bank is 0, income is +8 and upkeep is -10.

If you influence, upkeep goes to -13, which you can't afford by flipping colony ships.

If you use one colony ship to colonize the money slot, you go to 0 +10 -13, and can only flip up two colony ships to get yourself to 12, so you will have to remove a disc somewhere.

He has two money planets he can colonize doesn't he, the one on 306 Beta Centauri and the one on Castor 101? Wouldn't that put his money at 12 production then flip the last colony ship to cover the upkeep?
