I hope that doesn't change your turn twelve.

Provisional? I've only really got moves from my pulsars left I think. Can't build anything with them. So I could just shuffle some ships around that warp portal of mine before passing. See if I can end the round on a cliff hanger.



The only thing that would change my provisional is if Tapper does a reaction against me.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

That takes care of the legs.

But you're still glass. And tired.



Glass, glass, glass.

As long as you handle with care then there is nothing to worry about.

Glass is okay when you've got missiles! And if by 'tired' Gnaw means lower initiative, well he's wrong and also again missiles!

This is going to be a tense next few turns. Tatts has enough materials to build a few interceptors or starbases, but he hasn't really upgraded those yet and he can only make them so strong. And he's obviously going for a huge artifact bonus next round, so it'd make sense for twelve to try and grab the undefended high-VP+artifact sectors like Pollux and Altair while Tatt's dreads are up north to reduce Tatt's bonus and bump up the amount of points he gets per sector so he can prioritize defending them easier in the final rounds. Or, twelve might decide to just sit and do nothing since he's still in the lead for now.

We'll all be watching... :p

Yeah,yeah. War, bloodshed, explosions in space. My translator/bodyguard/spy and I got a bit intoxicated last night. His pod-sister had to come and pick us both up from the bar. After helping her put him into his float bed, I got to chatting with the pod sister. I learned that a pod is something like what we Terran's would have referred to as a Moose club or Elks Club. Only this pod is an experimental one researching inter species cooperation. And they are very inquisitive about Terrans, and have a wide open definition of 'cooperation'.
Anyways, I've been invited to one of their pod group social events. I shall see y'all late.

So if I pass after my next prov. then in round 7 I can use the pulsars to build/upgrade and move/build?

Correct?

If the rulebook says they also count as reactions, yes. If it says pulsars go instead of your normal action, no.

I guess my dodgy patchy wifi didn't transmit this message yesterday across the star system:


"Unless it's of vital financial importance, no passing until you have completed your mission Gnaw.


So speaks your god.


And twelve, the Hydrani saw your diplomatic fleet offer before D'rek did. We refused to acknowledge it."


Alas, too late. I shall return to my throne in 15 standard galactic hours or so.

Seems my dreadnought has exceeded power production by 1. I shouldn't have been able to make that last move really. Do I need to amend? Or can I just put a new power source next round?
I could change it back to a drive upgrade if need be and the next board update can just deal with it.

What say you?

Wow. That was a quick turn.

Turn 5.
UPGRADES dreadnought with new drive over old,
And interceptor new drive over old.

That is all
Thanks.


You are right SS. The dread is an illegal build. You can take a plasma cannon off or the positron off. Or not upgrade the drive.

Ok. I'm going to assume IH is no reaction.

Gnawkhell: no reaction

Tatts: build 2 interceptors

Morgy's turn. Again, I'm assuming no reaction, but could be wrong.

So with the knowledge that IHCF could show up and make a reaction and/or Morgy do the same: it's D'rek's turn.

If you hadn't passed. *sigh*

You could still do it with reaction moves. It would be slow motion though.
