What I see here with both Drek and Gnaw is a reluctance to let go.


Two big differences.

I changed my mind.

I didn't have plasma missiles.

Gnaw said that as long as he kept his income from that hex that round he would have let me have his homeworld and got back the next round.



No, I said I needed the income from that world.

LATER you said all you wanted it for was the artifact so you could buy the key.

LATER yet, after I discovered that cubes would go into the graveyard and I would have kept the income that round, I PMed you to say that IF I had known that at the time, I probably would not have fought for it.

You guys figured out what you are going to do yet? I'd like to proceed with my inevitable victory so we can get the next game started.

I wonder what d'reks play is here. Gluon computers presumably? Or maybe plasma missiles? She seems pretty confident. Tats has no real choice to go all out this round, things are only going to get worse for him next round.

CF, since you're waiting on Tapper to say whether he's in or out on the "let's kill Twelve" bandwagon, you could always punt this turn. Do something that doesn't really commit you to anything.

Move an interceptor to the unoccupied Twelve world. It takes you 2 move actions to get there.

I did too but was nervous about my chances. That was until y'all gift wrapped the conifold field tech for me. Now I can sit back and enjoy being the rightful ruler of the galaxy. Now you all start practicing.

I would rather destroy my entire civilization fighting you and all cocksure tyrants of your ilk - which, incidentally, is pretty much what I intend to do.

Ha, nice discussion.

I am still in for a concerted attack, but two things have now changed.

Twelve stands no chance of losing those dreads and we have nobody that can successfully attack the GC. Income damage is meaningless unless it comes with some material damage too. Right now, he can just bloat back out from the GC and retake every single system we win this round with superior technology.

What do others think about this? I can still go after the home system but I get the sneaking suspicion he'll just build a fucktonne of interceptors there and blow me sky-high out of spite.

Doesn't seem there is a lot we can do...

So tapper, about that 2 pronged attack on SS>?

You could at least wait to see if others respond with thoughts before embarking on a second proposal!


Okay, how about this:

Anyone out of CF, Tapper, SS, and maybe even D'rek (possibly can reach) who doesn't make some push into twelve's/Tatts' territory gets me invading their territory. At the least I will be an annoying nuisance you don't need, at worst I take some vital hexes of yours. :doh:

It seems I'm going to be fighting Tatts' entire fleet this round. Literally every ship he currently has and every bit of materials he can spend. I think that counts as a solid contribution? It sure makes attacking Tatts easy for you guys!

So D'rek how upset would you be if I researched Plasma missiles when it comes back around to me?

Shitshitshit.

I've fucked up someplace. That plasma missile shouldn't be there.



NVM. One too many SVG files open.

CF, the file is uploading. It'll take it another hour or so. I'm on adsl because my telco has no competitors so they can get away with highway robbery for dsl.

Would you really? What benefit is it for you to have Tatts, currently in 2nd place, stomp all over me, gain more hexes with more points and more artifacts, and still have his dreads next round to fight you with?

That doesn't even make sense. Even with all of SS's territories, Tapper still wont have as many points as twelve. the only way for anyone but twelve to win is for twelve to lose a lot of territory.

Fuck me D'rek, I go to bed and I dream of our battle, so many variations. The simulator won't even work for me. aaargh. 4 interceptors better to have plasma missiles or plasma cannons? Hull good for my dread or plasma missiles and leave them with 4 hp? upgrade acruiser and throw that into the mix with plasma missiles. Also are we sure there should be plasma misslies left for you to take? I've been mulling all this over. I think I will explode.
