Yup, just waiting on khell,

Unless he's put in a provisional without updating page 1. I didn't see anything though.

EDIT - @d'rek

That's what I was thinking. That and round 1 was very tough for me to keep ahead of....with explore orders being issued and then trying to remember who wanted which orientation.

I predict with reduced explores as the game progresses (there are 10 tier 3 explores left I think, unless the homeworlds count as part of the total tier 3 count), player actions will be much easier to process.

Pace of the game is fine with me. Besides most of the delay can be blamed on Khell. .
Actually I'm going to change mine from provisional to action. Explore NW. Show me what I've won CF!

@ CF. it might be useful for me to have a file containing 1 each

• Influence disc
• Population cube
• Interceptor (white)
• Cruiser (grey)
• Dreadnought
• Starbase
• Something
• Something
• Something

Each item should be one of the player colors. 9 items, 9 colors.

@All

how is the pace for this game? I'm doing the best I can to keep up but weekends are unplugged for me the the sprout guarding and all.

I'm happy to turn things over if somebody else is interested and thinks they can do better - and I don't mean that in a challenging way...if you really want to mod then I'm happy not to. I just did it cause nobody else seemed like they want to.

Well as I'm super mister impatient I wouldn't mind a faster pace but as I am realistic enough to understand this would be a beast to mod I'm not complaining. I'd be willing to mod at some point in the future but I understand the time commitment it takes to mod even a simple mod job like Diplomacy where I only have to do two simple map updates each week I can't imagine the time it takes to update the game map and all the little pieces involved in this game.Frankly I just don't have that kind of spare time. Plus the basic fact that I wouldn't even know how to mod this game at all due to my frankly piss poor tech savyness pretty much eliminates me from every being a viable mod for this game.

Besides I think you are doing a good job when you do the updates and we are only in early round 2. By the time the game hits round 4 where most of the map updates will be just ship placements and player boards I think you will be a pro at it.

Now we just need Khell

@Twelve

Yes, it is already a big relief not having everybody making explores. Last action round took about 20 min to update. 5 minutes to update everybody else and about 15 to figure out what the hell I wanted to do.

Get the Spoiler Heaven password for the mafia game and then PM his game alt. I'm pretty sure he is ignoring us so he can get his mafia fix in.

Twelve is probably right.

[Khellendros]

Goddamn it, I am trying to sleep!!! Bank holiday weekend, AND a miracle - 3 hot sunny days in the UK, on a long weekend. I haven't slept in almost all that time, because sun and warmth and fun and weekend! So exhausted, amd I have little to absolutely no idea what's going on in this game or in mafia.


EXPLORE north-east of homeworld, in that weird gap CF and I have left.


I hope you all appreciate the effort I have just gone to to satisfy your addicti...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Morgoth]

My provisional is to move the Dreadnaught into the single ancient tile.

[Tattersail_]

Back round to Solid Snape, everyone else has a provisional inc Tapper. So that leaves Twelve and CF I think.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Khell - you find Epsilon Hydrae

Hilarious tile to get for that cramped spot. An ancient hive! You going to keep that? It could cause us some grief, though I'm not massively upset about it either way.

@Gnaw - you find Epsilon Carinae

I'll need orders on whether or not to colonize, and if so, what to colonize with. I have influenced the tile already.

@GP - upgraded dread with fusion source and positron compy - but you need to tell me what slots to put them in.

@Morgoth - dread moved to single ancient tile

@D'rek - Dread constructed in mu herculis

[cerveza_fiesta]

Once I get responses to my lingering questions (see post above), I'll post a board update up to and including D'rek.

I thought it obvious, I have a blank spot. Upgrade the source with the source and the blank spot with the computer.

I have edited my first post.

Ah, ok. Sometimes folks put the power in the blank spot to have extra power, and cover up hull in favour of more computer.

There's a lot of possibilities. DO BETTER NEXT TIME OR YER OUT OF THE GAME.


FAAAK ALL YOU JERKS EXPECT ME TO MOD THIS SHIT???? I QUIT!





joking....I don't really quit, nor am I mad.

@Khell

In the expansion rulebook it says that the ancient ships have WH generators for the purposes of exiting the hive hex, so all 6 hexes are potential targets for their movements.

I doesn't much matter to me what you do. It will keep me mulling around home sectors for a few extra turns, but I get money from combat so it's no biggie. It offers a good VP boost, but not much in the way of planets as a reward. I don't have much more to offer than that.

[Morgoth]

Don't be a pansy, Khell. Keep it!

[Tattersail_]

1 in 3 chance of it moving towards him, CF and unclaimed. It'd be funny if he claimed it, went after the double ancients only to land a third in his midst.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Ha, I know. I can take down a single ancient without much effort so I'm not overly worried.

Given what's left though, I can see him wanting to ditch it in favour of a better hex. A lonely material planet and advanced econ is a shitty reward for slaying 3 ancients. For everyone's reference, including the 2 recent explores by Gnaw and Khell, there are 15 tier 3 hexes on the board. Here are the remaining Tier 3 hexes:

EDIT, note the warp portal hex in the 2nd column has a wormhole on its North side; the scanned image I was working wasn't complete.

EDIT EDIT - same for the warp portal hex in the 3rd column; it has a wormhole on its SouthEast side.

That is not many explores left

[twelve]

I'm putting in my provisional in case SS shows up today.

Build 2 Dreadnaughts in Capella.
