Move:

Dreadnaught in Zeta Hurculis to Epsilon Eridani
Cruiser in Zeta Hurculis to Delta Corvi

Sorry Khell but I want my homeworld back.

Tapper I want some more points and that was the only hex that I could take and afford the upkeep outside my homeworld.

Move everything in 311 to 223.

If I am not mistaken, this means I lose my diplomatic relations with SS as a result. Remove the cube to the Science track, please.

@Tapper and/or D'rek, may I requisition one of the game alts?

If I do the in-thread turn updates with one of those then people scrolling down the page will see the updates more easily I think.

[Galactic Council]

Please stop.

At the time of every move on this page, neither D'rek nor SS had confirmed "no reaction" for turn 7.

So we are back round to CF again.

D'rek and SS can react in between Morgoth and Tapper's move.

Tapper has done turn 8, so has twelve. CF next then Khell.

Nice Crosspost.

Well the other game is starting, we are at the final round, final stages of this round. let's get it done. I have PM'd Khell

No, the other game is not starting. It won't until we have a winner here. Just doing setup over there.

Yeah I was eyeing that move for a while, the move to Delta Corvi was something very recent when I realized that I could settle two money slots to afford a second hex beyond retaking the motherland. Clearly Khell didn't notice your comments when I was mentioning the plundering of my homeworld and sent off yet another one of his ships to die.

@ Gnaw

My moves are not dependent on if any of the passers does a reaction.

I will also Provisionally pass for action #10

I don't blame you. I blame Tatts for not putting up enough of a threat that you can actually afford to send a dread and cruiser in another direction

Still, you won't win. The Progress forever advances.

Like it had anything better to do than that anyway.

Everyone needs goals - I couldn't win and my chances of even finishing 3rd were slim. So I decided I would try and go for owning as many homeworlds as possible, coz why not? It's kinda sorta bragging rights

Isn't that the point of the Galactic Council alt? If you switch back to Gnaw for all the chitter chatter and only use GC for official mechanics stuff it'll stand out more.

But if you need a second game alt, they're easy to have created, and it'd probably be easier to just get a new one made for Eclipse than to have all the mafia players/mods remember not to use one of the mafia ones. Better thematically, too.

Well there looks like there will be a many player tie for that distiction unless D'rek can somehow keep her lead. I'm surprised noone is trying to take Tatt's homeworld from her. There are no ships there so it's just a matter of being able to bombard the population.

I wanted that one too but stupid CF's stupid ships got in the way (also, I wouldn't actually have enough influence discs).

[Galactic Council]

Ok, this is what I think the current state is. I'll start work on getting these into the board.

@D'rek I would use a game alt for one thing only - these in-thread updates. I'm trying to make sure I know what (and when) everyone is doing and communicate it in a manner that works. These updates are apparently not working but I want to try making then more noticeable before giving up on them. CF's page one player updates didn't work. I don't think a separate action thread is going to work, but I'll give it a shot. As for keeping the chit chat off of GC, I'm trying. But there are other posts that have to be done with the GC alt.

Suggestions are welcome.

Gnaw, you're making it too complicated for yourself! You've got to remember to keep separate posts from GC, your own avatar, and now a third one? There's no need. The regular updates with GC certainly are working as far as I'm concerned.

[twelve]

Gnaw,

I really like those ingame updates. It's just when the majority of players have passed, we got into a habit, in Game II, of assuming no reaction and proceeded to the next player that has actions available. I'm not sure if we will ever get in the habit of breaking that habit. Things move so slow as it is when players can essentially skip other players to speed things up they tend to do so.

I don't mind the skipping at all. It's the "not knowing if the player knows who is skipped, when they were skipped, etc". But Tatts gave me an idea up thread for game IV Action order format:

PlayerX said:

Turn 6: Move aircraft carrier to saturn corvette to uranus. -13 upkeep $8, 3 sci, 0 mats.

They are indicating that they know: what turn it is, their upkeep, and their resources.

Thoughts?

Another thing I can do is make the updates in a different font and size 3.
