That's more or less what I've been going for. I can see how Tapper plans to pull ahead of me anyway. Cap my 4 points down south and put a single interceptor in Epsilon Eridani to take away that too. Even if he can only influence a homeworld in the end, he'd be ahead of me in points.

Ahh

Found memories of our past glories.Though of course you scurvy pirates have probably already plundered all of the cultural artifacts and sold them off on the cheap.

And everyone please double check for accuracy. The double-check the double check.

That's probably the last version before the battles.

Found a mistake on the Map. D'rek's Dread should be in Altair instead of Pollux.

I was just commenting on the kind of arbitrary nature of what everyone except D'rek and Twelve are doing. None of us can make up the point deficit so we might as well just batter each other right?

Whatevs, I'm up for it

Chances are my ships aren't going anywhere even if I wanted them to as it's a very real possibility that all of my ships will be pinned if Tapper decides to make a play for Zeta Hurculis and Tatts joins more of his ships into the GC.

all my ships are joining you twelve

yep. He was wanting a board update to look things over that's why he didn't post an action when he was on earlier. But I see that he is around so hopefully he'll take his move.

SOmeone should poke mr Khellendaros to let him know he will be up soon. I nominate you for that task. You are quite accomplished at it.

Move 2 interceptors from gamma valorum over to Pollux via the SE wormhole - ie up through Khell's territories.

Hmm.

BUILD 1 Cruiser in Arcturus.

[0, 1, 2]

[twelve]

This game has turned into a head scratcher. Most of you all banded together to knock me back so someone else has a chance to win and just when you guys nearly accomplish that goal you turn on the one player that still had a realisitc shot.

Crazy.

You were never of any consequence - your activity was merely used as a pretext for a greater aim.

Correct, since there was never a point where I didn't have ships in it.

It makes sense. I think I can oust you for 1st place, so I am trying to do so. Khell and CF don't think they can oust you from 1st place, but they think they can take over 2nd place, so since that's the best they think they can do that's what they are going for.
