No, you're not. You're trying to overtake him. Beat him. Outlast him.

Tattersail is the only person currently who is actually trying to oust him.

Peacefully oust from the #1 spot by accumulating more points. Ousting doesn't have to mean blowing up in a fiery explosion!

Though it's certainly more fun if it does.

Tatts what is the hold up? Move some more of your ships already. We can get this done this week if we put a little effort into it.

[Tattersail_]

iT ISN'T MY GO MATE. i HAVE HAD A PROVISIONAL IN SINCE BEFORE YOU MADE A MOVE.

[Tattersail_]

Shit, Caps Lock attacked me. Sorry I have just checked and it is my go. I apologise, i've been checking all day as well. Sorry. 2 minutes.

[Tattersail_]

Move two interceptors into GC.

@D'rek

Aldebran, once all my ships are out would you like to influence the hex and occupy the money planet? Unless you think Khell is going after Rigel, he may destroy Mu Herculis but then you'd have a better hex in Alderbran, swapping a 1vp tile for a 2vp tile.

Nah.

[Tattersail_]

Okay. I have my moves as,

Quote

Round 9

turn 1 = move dreads into gc. upkeep 0
Turn 2 = Convert 21 money into 7 materials and Build Shell World in PSI Capricorni upkeep -1
turn 3 = influence remove disc - 2
turn 4 = build two interceptors -3
turn 5 = move two interceptors. -5

I hope this is right.

Gonna bankrupt yourself on the last round eh?

I could only take Aldebaran if you remove your influence disk from it or if I move a ship there and conquor the hex. But since you are going to put 8 ships in the GC and I currently only have 5 in the GC I don't see how I can get a ship over there to conquor the hex. Especially since I am waiting for Tapper to invade Zeta Hurculis and tie up all those ships.

[Tattersail_]

Tapper looks like he is going to attack CF.

Oust is the active voice. It requires X to do something to Twelve directly or indirectly. You're are actively pursuing the same goal as he is and hoping to collect more points which is not "ousting" him.

*ducks*

Meh. Anyone who thinks they know what the mysterious and elusive Tapper is going to do next is almost certainly wrong.

But I think he has to do something this next turn. And he can move 6 ships, so it should be interesting.
