[twelve]

Holy Crap Tats actually won in Beta Hydra!!!

The question is did he royal fuck himself going for broke and doesn't have enough to cover his costs.

[D'rek]

I'll do an OP update in a little while so people can figure out how they want to post-combat influence and do their upkeeps.

tattersail, please indicate whether you want the destroyed cube from your orbital to go into the money or science graveyard.

[cerveza_fiesta]

yeah really hey? Can tattersail pull back from the brink of economic collapse?

Kinda didn't expect that. Also didn't expect to win in D.Corvi, even though I didn't get the population out of there.

Nice first-round murderification on IH's starbase too. Double positron computers kicks ass.

Fuck...need a breather from all the analysis. I don't think I'm going to even contemplate a move before tomorrow morning even if the next phase starts tonight.

[Khellendros]

Did Tattersail....win both engagements?! My word!

[Khellendros]

This game's title is hereby revised to - Eclipse: Rise of the Tattersail.

[Tattersail_]

I'm shocked. Shocked.

Drek you can keep capella. I'm speechless.

It'll have to be science Drek. Upkeep is going to be veryvery hard.

[Khellendros]

That was literally a one in one hundred chance. Backed into a corner, the mouse roared. I don't dare to even look at your upkeep.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Well, I think after this round's tomfoolery, I'm somewhere around

2 MONEYS
9 MATERIALS
8 SCIENCES

and I didn't depopulate any systems in the process so no new influence, and I'm still above my spending limit so I don't need to ditch any INF discs.

Yay!

Good luck tattersail. At a glance it looks like you are still in it for the moment. You only need to recover 3 influence discs. You get 1 from capella, suffer no penalty from taking 1 in zeta andromedae, and then I think you're basically stuck ditching Lamda Tauri, which sucks cause it harms your research, but it's the only option that doesn't have a moneycube planet on it.

Hurt her next turn Tattersail. The galaxy is counting on you!

[cerveza_fiesta]

Now I'm going to be pondering all night how to deal with the looming threat of EM on the border of Beta Leonis...and me with my fleet everywhere except the important spot.

[Khellendros]

No Tattersail. If you do survive, you have to form an unofficial alliance with Drek and IH, because where you are you can hurt twelve or force him to work two fronts at once, potentially. It's the only way you can retain influence on how this game goes down, otherwise it's all about CF/twelve rampaging.

[EmperorMagus]

My upkeep:

Money:
Current: 8

Hmmm, from what I see Tatts needs to recover 5 influence discs in order to afford upkeep, and he only has 5 on the map :/


Edit: I say 'afford' but of course with the removal of those discs comes the removal of money cubes too.

ah, mebbe he did more reactions than I thought since the last board update.

EM is going to be dangerous this turn Twelve. He has a LOT more resources than us to maneuver.

Though, his former ally *is* sitting with a bunch of lightly defended worlds to the north and with their alliance in tatters, who's to say he won't strike out that way??? With khell preoccupied building shrines, and low on influence discs, a coordinated effort could pretty much reduce him to rubble and put the Hegemony back in the game.

Who am I kidding though....he's definitely more concerned with ruining my day by any means possible...though I promise not to make it easy for him.

[D'rek]

Main map and player boards updated

[D'rek]

Let me know if you want to do any post-combat influences. Otherwise, feel free to do your upkeep phases.

No easy way for EM into my territories though - except through you

[Khellendros]

Bloody hell....EM, if you can afford the wormhole generator, you can easily go right through CF's and twelve's territories! You don't have to go through Beta Leonis.

[D'rek]

Am I dead Drek? If I removed all discs I cannot get it right. I'm on my phone so do not know for sure.

[Khellendros]
