I don't want the outcome of future random picks to affect what, say, khell or gnaw does.

Patience my son.



Hmm. I may not make up my mind today. :)

Khell is not sulking. Khell was at the theatre. Khell is going to fuck CF's shit up this round.

Debated whether to get advanced robotics, but gonna go with:

RESEARCH FUSION SOURCE AND POSITRON COMPUTER FOR 9 SCIENCE

That's the way to go. Kick him in the balls. And never, never hit somebody with your fist unless there are no sticks, rocks, or wrenches around.

I have a cruiser with futuristic cannons of death. Will that do instead of a wrench?

Uh. I'm fairly certain that all cannons are "of death". So you should be good.

I'm not sure you can do all that with one influence action. You can remove the disk from Epsilon Carinae and you can add a disk to Theta Pegasi but you can't also add back a disk to Epsilon Carinae too. You can move up to a total of 2 influence disks per influence action. Per these instructions you tried to move three....

And then I went and read the rules. I didn't realize you could move an influence disk from hex to hex as one influence action. I thought you first had to bring it back to the player board and then from the board back to the hex. Damn nice move there Gnaw. It puts to shame what I have planned for this round.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Yeah that was a nice move, I don't think I would have thought of that, but once it's done it's obvious.

Yeah, I read that section a couple times just to make sure it said what I thought it said.

you shame me with praise oh wise and kind master.

Looking at it again, I fucked up.

Edit: Maybe. If I had used the supernova hex instead of the one grey, I could have picked up two science. *shrug*

How? Unless you didn't want to swap money for science but the other way around. But then your low science would be even lower.

You can make changes. You just posted the action and if it's just a matter of switching around which cubes you want I don't see any issue with you changing it at this stage of the game.

Nah. I'll leave it this way. I'd lose the AE cube on the nova hex.

Please tell me you drew the discovery for Tatts. If you didn't we're done for today.

The discovery tile draw doesn't affect anyone outside Tatts so Morgoth can still take his turn. SS and Tapper can leave provisionals before they crash for the evening with someone State's side or on thread so it will be back to CF when he does the update in the morning.

Morgy can move. But D'rek might not.

Well, I guess I will build - A cruiser and a dreadnaught in Beta Centauri, spending all my materials and 9 in cash.

Nice use of that surplus cash you had there. Too bad you don't have any good tech to go on your ships.
