Is my money right since the start if round 9? My upkeep said I should have ended up with $7 but tge update showed 15 then I used 3.
I should only have 4 money left.

[Tapper]

For months, the Galaxy has been questioning where the sentient battlefleets of the Technocracy of V'odka will be deployed. Today, the Technocracy's Hyperreality finally convenes.
The massive carrier 010 00 11 / 101 01 010 100 01 00 0000 00 01 10 011110 000 / 01 000 000, is the first to propose a suggestion. "It is clear our diplomatic and covert attempts at creating a peaceful hedonistic society governed by our AIs, as envisioned by the Banks of Ideas, have failed. It is time for a forceful approach."
"I dispute that notion vehemently," the cultural anthropologist unit 11 010101 of the Banks of Ideas replies, delivering enough scientific evidence in the force of graphs, statistics and research in a single nanosecond to silence everyone for exactly 0.000453 full seconds, which feels like an eternity for all present.

Then: "79.83196960894768720% of all statistics are made up on the spot," is put in by the fighter + 00011 / 1010 111 11 0110 001 1 0 010 000 110011 / 0010 001 101 101 / 1011 0 01 0000 !
And: "Numbers can be interpreted according to one's liking," the cruiser 0 0100 0 0110 0000 01 10 1 / 00 10 / 01 / 0110 111 010 1010 0 0100 01 00 10 / 1010 01 1000 00 10 0 1 puts in.

"In the absence of empiric evidence, any answer should be philosophical rather than statistical," the teaching unit "Morse Code Is So 18th Century" says.
"Philosophy proves a moon is square, I would hardly take that as a firm foundation for policies," 1000 00 10 01 010 1011 / 010 001 0100 0 000 snipes back.
"With such a name, I'd say that too." Digital snickers go around.

A quick vote is taken, and the fleets of the Technocracy will sail. But where? The assembly remains divided, and a decision is postponed until more analysis has been done on the merits of fleet composition and spread. Victory in battle is never questioned, because as is said succinctly by the cruiser 1010 01 10 / 111 0010 / 011 0000 111 0110 0110 00 10 110:
"We can calculate our chances in a fight through a simple 21st century browser based tool,"
The biggest question is what the AIs will occupy themselves with while their drives propel them towards distant battlefields...

Yeah, indeed - R --> K. It would otherwise be quite the case for Freud.
Didn't realise I had made that many translation mistakes, though.

Is there an action order in there somewhere?

Hey Solid. Before Tapper goes have you put any thought to building that Interceptor in Altair?

Ah, Nevermind. CF still has materials to build his last interceptor and/ or starbases. I thought you could free up your cruiser in Altair to help with the fight back in your homeworld but CF can block you easily from doing that.

Not to mention that starbase in zeta chameleonitis.

My thought was he could use his interceptor to pin the starbase so he could move his cruiser through. But to counter CF could build another ship to keep them both pinned so that is why I said nevermind.
