Tapper you going to confirm no reaction after D'rek Passes

SolidSnape can you do the same and I thought you were going to do your upkeep yesterday. I still see that some of your actions haven't been updated as well.

[Solidsnape]

Done.
Just a question.
Can I flip all of my colony cards as I have done in my upkeep? It's quite a bonus really.

I've just got a glimpse at the board update too, it's looks like an influence disc is missing from research for the fusion drive, leaving my upkeep at -10.
Who's doing the modding then? Gnaw?

Anyhow I've got me a whole load of upgrading to do in the next round.
Drives on all ships and 2 plasma cannons on dready.
5 all in all. Mmmmmmmm

Yes you can. You can gain added resources every round above and beyond your production. It's a pretty sweet race special to have.

Not yet. Still CF.

Everyone here plays Mafia with varying degrees of frequency. Would you like to know how that last part translates in Mafia speak?

"I'm attacking Tapper Turn 1"

In case that is not your intent, you might want to modify your statement. Or even if that is your intent.

I've been checking out tappers ships. They look pretty nasty. Those missiles will fuck me over. Do shields work against attacking missiles? He's got a lot of initiative goin on there too. Not sure if I can compete.
I know I've got a chance to spend lots in the next round, my extra coin will help, I should be able to get up to 7 upgrades if need be. And still be able to research.
On that....
Did I pass first? And when are we getting a draw?

The shields don't work on them do they? I need extra hull points to withstand missile barrages. He's got a log if initiative goin on there too. Not sure if I can compete.

yes. after the combat and upkeep.

[Solidsnape]

Haha I edited the post to make more sense, you copied the original! It'll be worth money some day...


So I get pick of the lot!???

I know I've got to come out my hole sooner or later, but I was honestly expecting to have been attacked by now. And to have repelled all unruly and uninvited visitors to my space with force. That way I'd have gained VP and expanded probably a little bit through a kind of counter attack, outward reaction. Then settled there, and waited the game out.

This?
This is just madness......

[Solidsnape]

Tapper does look threatening. It's those fucking missiles man. What happens if no 6's are rolled at the missile stage?
Does go into the next round of engagement (cannon)?

That. depends on whether you have enough armour on your ships/enough quantity of ships to have any surviving the barrage.

[Gnaw]

Good news. Tapper only has one missile battery per cruiser. Bad news. They only miss on 1s and 2s.

Good news. You have more ships than Tapper. Bad news. You don't have the initiative to go first in cannon rounds.

Good news. Your ships have some armor. Bad news. Those antimatter cannons on Tapper's interceptors will shred one of your ships every time it hits.

Good news. I don't think Tapper really wants to fight you. Bad news. You've made yourself a large enough threat that Tapper may not feel safe turning his back on you.

Good news. You have two pulsars which give you free actions. Bad news. Those free actions work for whomever has the influence disc on them.

[Solidsnape]

So I need advanced hull. And to put another positron computer on my dready for the initiative. The drives too.
To stand half a chance. I could attack someone else. I've thought about that too, because I don't want to lose the income of the ambassador. That might appease him. I've have another look at it tomorrow and see. Going to bed now.

If SS and Tapper Pass then I'll do my Influence action but that also gives everyone one more opportunity to react if they want until it's my turn yet again before I have to pass.

I can confirm the pass, unless anyone attacks me on their own reaction.

Research the wormhole, send some ships through, and we get along just fine.

[Imperial Historian]

I'll be standing in for CF while he is away.

@SS if you buy the wormhole, your coming at CF... I'd be careful about that I need some decent ships to destroy to get some cash

Also Gnaw don't automatically influence any tiles after combat, depends on the combat results but I doubt I'll want any of them.

Edit: Aw crap, the board updates are a round behind. Well that makes things a little more difficult.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@IH

The only one I was concerned with influencing was the grey planet over in Gnaw's former territories for the extra money production.

[cerveza_fiesta]

SO Twelve, you going to finish up this round or what?

I can still resolve combat today, but this afternoon I'll be uploading the board to Gnaw and won't be back on except a short while tomorrow morning.

I said that once Tapper confirms no reaction to influence 107 and settle all three slots. Everyone else has one more chance to react before I'm forced to pass. You aren't waiting on me.

[Tattersail_]

No one is reacting. D'rek has passed, you are the only person not to pass.

Right, didn't know for sure that was your move.

Done.

Though I'm not sure why you are "forced to pass". Maybe "smart to pass".

[cerveza_fiesta]

Right, so we're down to one more time around the board until Twelve finally passes and ends the round

I pass.

Will check back in a bit and if there are no objections I'll hand it back to Twelve to wrap things up.
