Ok, I think I have it all. Update will be posted in 2 minutes.

Only thing I wasn't 100% sure of was orientation of Morgoth's new hex and which cube I'm putting on diplo for Solidsnape. He had asked for a switch. I'm fine with it since it doesn't really matter anyway.

If the board looks good I'll continue on with provisionals.

@CF:

I haven't been ignoring your requests for diplo, I just haven't decided what to do as yet. To be perfectly honest, I think it would be best for the both of us if our territories remained unattached in other regions - we've already got a potential conection once those ancients are cleared out. I think it would be best to discuss diplo once that happens, and in the meantime, explore in different directions to the south if possible.

[Tattersail_]

Explore North of Pollux.

I don't think it is as big a foothold as you mention, I already have two players connecting to my hexes. If I do explore I can orient it away from your tier 1 hex and you'd have to explore south of hex 232, that could also be an ancient or you may not be able to connect to the hex I draw.

Well I think it is, and will act accordingly. I won't necessarily pursue into Pollux, but I'm not going to leave a big orange hex right on my doorstep, either. Especially considering you probably don't care about anything except obliterating me, this game.

As for orienting the hexes, good luck with that. The three tier 1s left are two 5-wormhole hexes and one two-and-two hex, so you're guaranteed a northern wormhole, while of the tier-2 hexes left there's only two hexes left that if I explored there would not give me a southern wormhole. So your hopes of avoiding a N-S wormhole is extremely optimistic.

Not to mention, you have a 66% chance of getting ancients when you explore north, so why even bother wasting the influence disc?

I am not focused your way at all, in fact it is only because i'm in this position that I am discussing things with you. I am not Anti D'rek, I just wanted to explore that way rather than leave you with all the good hexes whilst I have to expand into tier 3.

Haha, that's such bullshit, but w/e

[D'rek]

@CF - I'm pretty sure Morgoth said he wanted wormholes pointing S and NW on his latest explore.

That was me asking for the switch. Not snape.

That'd be why I couldn't find the posts relating to switching cubes. Scanning posts for the wrong name.

Thanks!

Hey now, you need to shift the system one more step clockwise. Also I asked not to settle the planets

I will explore south-east of starting system. May the great bozki bring us great gifts!

I'm always grumpy when I'm being accused of being daunting from someone with 9 (well, 7, but he has 2 planets he's planning to claim) cubes off their board when I have only 5.

The great Khan declares you daunting. May you forever carry this mark.

You must always be grumpy then. You would be daunting if you had taken the Lyra and passed on your first turn. You're just going to have to accept that you are scary good.

So what hex did I draw

[cerveza_fiesta]

Awfully busy day today. Hardly any time for modding.

@ALL - tier one hexes have all been drawn.

@Morgoth, last round hex's rotation corrected, pop cubes removed, 2x colony ships re-flipped.

@Khell - PASSES

@Gnaw - PASSES, selects same turn order as last round.

@GP, your exploration yields: Aldebran

Number of downloads: 0


@Morgoth, your exploration yields: LAMBDA FORNACIS - oooooh ancient hive! Not much to be done for extra instructions from you. Kinda has WHs on all sides!

@D'rek, you're up!

Ouch. That's gonna sting.

I will wait and see how GP wants to orient.


edit: after all, he did say he was trying to avoid the center

Why? It doesn't really matter does it?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that his strategy is going to be somewhat changed after the hive draw.

Morg can refuse to place the card though, right?
