Pm Em

[twelve]

EM's Upkeep seems very straightforward. Though I could have totally screwed this up I think his upkeep is, because I'm addicted and would like to have another turn and want to see what the new technologies available are.

Money
Current Amount: 7
Income: 8
Upkeep: -10
New Amount: 5

Science

Current Amount: 4
Income: 6
New Amount: 10

Materials

Current Amount: 2
Income: 6
New Amount: 8

It's not a matter of his upkeep being straightforward, it's a matter of {a} I assumed he would influence/colonize - it'd be good to get confirmation of that, and {b} need to know if he will take the discovery as resources or points.

@IH - you too, actually.

[twelve]

I think it's a safe assumption that he would influence and colonize. He has more than enough money to cover that action and it gives him more of each resource with just one Influence disk. It's a very good hex to have.

As for the discovery tiles I can see why you would want to get their answer before progressing to the next round. If there is a tech that comes available before they make their decision it might change their minds on the VP versus the resources. Though with IH he gets 2 VP if he keeps the tile but only 1 plus the resources if he discards it, right?

Was I the second to pass? Should I choose a direction of play if so? And who was the first to pass? CF?

I'm fairly sure that you are the second to pass after CF so I'm assuming that you want the order of play to go counter clockwise this round.

I think we are probably done until Monday. EM didn't get on last weekend either.

It's too bad. I kinda wanted to see what new techs were available for round 3.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I'll check in over the weekend. I think I have a solid plan for next round, but stuff can always go awry.

I suppose I should have a look at the new techs too before putting in a provisional move.

Not that it matters too much to me either way, but yeah, counter-clockwise so it reaches me sooner.

[EmperorMagus]

I keep the hex and colonize all three planets. I will discard the discovery tile for resources.
Money 2
Income : 8
Stored (or whatever) : 4
Upkeep : -10
Remaining : 2

Science : 8
Income : 6
Store : 2

Material 6
Income 6
Store: 0

[EmperorMagus]

Plus that discovery card:
Money : 5
Material:8
Science: 10

I am not out for your weekends as they are beginning of my weeks, but i dont check here because it is mostly dead.
Any way, if it reaches my turn again PM me and i shall get myself in here ASAP.

[Imperial Historian]

I'll take the tile as VP. I'll check back on when I can.

[D'rek]

Alright, round 2 is done then. I can't do image updates at the moment (probably not at all today), but here are the new techs:

Orbital
Monolith
Positron Computer
Advanced Labs
Gauss Shield
Plasma Cannon
Sentient Hull
Distortion Shield
Phase Shield
Tractor Beam

[twelve]

D'rek,

If I remember correctly from the expansion rules, if you draw rare techs you still draw until you have, in our case, 10 regular techs as well. So with three rare techs drawn I think you need to draw until we have 3 more regular techs too.

[twelve]

Yep. This is what it says.

drawing technology tiles When drawing new Technology Tiles from the bag in the Setup or Cleanup Phase, place anyRare Technology Tiles you draw next to the Supply. They areignored in the Technology Tile draw count, so always drawas many regular Technology Tiles as the base rules say.

[D'rek]

Ohhh, interesting. Okay let me randomize 3 more!

[D'rek]

Advanced Robotics
Antimatter Cannon
Antimatter Splitter
Improved Hull

Also get drawn!

[D'rek]

Since I counted Zero Point Source as one earlier, I'll also draw another one to make up for that:

Lol, and Neutron Absorber comes up...

Then Quantum Grid, and we are finally done drawing tech!

Who's go is it?
