Uh. You can't either. You are only allowed 3 ambassador exchanges. You are already maxed out.


Pardon?


You currently have diplomacy with GP, Tapper and CF. That is three. You only have 3 diplomacy tiles so you can't enter into another diplomatic relation with anyone else until one of your current relationships become severed.

Re Vp tiles, you get 1 for being in a battle, plus one for interceptors, starbases or ancients destroyed, 2 for cruisers and 3 for dreads.

So twelve would draw 4, CF would draw 2, D'rek 2, Morgoth 2 and SS 3



Sweet!! That would mean that I would get two more draws to get the 4 unless we have to back up and redraw for everyone prior to my battle again.

I'm having a problem with my OP. when I look at my turn, it's seems that I never populated Sinies the pulsar system with a materials cube. Yet at the end of round 2 I had a materials income of 4. It should have been 3 really.
To be honest, I'm a little bit confused. As far as I was aware I had 2 science cubes and 2 materials cubes on the board. Giving me an income of 4 each.

Can anyone take a look at it for me please?


By my count your production is at 8,6,6. Don't forget you discarded a cube at game start.


This is what I thought. I'll knock an upkeep up now to reflect that. Still something amiss though.

Not that it'll matter really. I'm fodder in this game.

So Gnaw is first player next round and who is deciding the rotation? GP?


Yeah i'll be going second, it'll reach you quicker.


Well, I think you get to decide that at the very end of the cleanup phase (or, you could say, at the very start of the round it affects), so you can wait to see the tech draw and supernova/hive stuff before deciding.


Meaning if what I actually want is not there then I can just rotate the other way


Why would you want the rotation counter clockwise?

I checked. CF already backed up and redrew for the correct number for everyone prior to me. All he needs to do is draw 2 more tiles after accounting for the 3,2 he drew initially and the 2 from my board that he replaced. If there is no 4 then I just stay with the three otherwise keep the 4.

On the latest update I can see 2 material planets populated and yet 3 cubes are removed from the track.
Whereas there supposedly 3 grey planets with science cubes on but only 2 cubes removed.

Will I just amend my OP so that I've got 3 of each? That Would bring me to 8,6,6.

Yeah something's not right. I'm really sorry guys.

I think it may have stemmed from the first round when I was allowed to swap a materials cube for a money cube, and that hasn't been adjusted on my board.

I'm not bothered though. I'm happy to go with my current state.

But I need to establish what those grey planets are populated with.

I went through your posts and it looks like the material planet on sineis should currently be unpopulated.

After tracking all of your colony ship actions it looks like your money situation should be 12 actually. You discarded money at the start of the game. You exchanged money with Tapper using the dip tile. You ultimetly settled Gamma Velorum with money on the grey slot, Spica's grey planet was $ as well, You have a money slot on your home planet. That would put you at an income of 10. If you settle Chi Draconis's money slot that would bring your income to 12.

Science is 4, 6 if you settle Chi Draconis. One cube on the homeworld and one on the pulsar hex.

Materials should only be 3 as only your homeworld is populated.

How did this get so off? I just looked through the actions listed in the OP and didn't read through all your other posts. That is probably where the disconnect happened. But regardless that is a big difference from what you have been going off of and what it should be. I'm not sure what we should do to get this right at this point.

Any suggestions anyone?

I'm sure it's somehow intrinsically connected to SS' upkeep.



Speaking seriously (for just one minute), can SS not just go with what he should have cube-wise, i.e. 12 money, 6 science, 3 materials? If it turns out he overspent some materials/science that he didn't actually have in previous rounds (is that the problem?), just deduct it now from his current amounts. Not a perfect solution, but hey.

This was the first time I double checked the colony ship deployments to what was actually settled and showed up on the player board and map. As a correction I'm thinking we either go with the 8,6,6 distribution (It's possible for him to have this based on the grey planets he has) and that was what he based all of his actions this round on or do a true up and have it prior to colonization of Chi Draconis as 10,4,3. That way if he wants he can use all three of his colony ships to settle one science and 2 material planets to get him to 10,6,6. In either case the population cube on Sineis needs to be removed as he never actually settled that. (Unless he decides to after we determine how we are going to correct this)

You are right RE tile draws, and I already corrected everyone up to you.

Your 2 additional draws are [3,1] and you already have 2x 3VP tiles on your board.

I dunno why you can't see the material planet in Sineis. It's plainly settled in the latest board update.
EDIT

And every board update in recent history.

EDIT again

Ooooooh, sineis should be unpopulated? I'm sure that was asked for when he influenced it. SS's first page posts are pretty bare. Maybe it was mentioned in the thread and not elsewhere?

Just sort out what it is and tell me so I can fix it and draw techs.
