Hey Gnaw,

You might already be counting on this but Tatts requires 2 reactions to build and move his second dread into your homeworld. If everyone passes before the gets a chance at the second reaction that improves your odds greatly.

Heh. Yeah, the reaction thing is a factor in my planning. It allows me to be a step ahead and broadens my options oh so slightly.

The pass thing had not occurred to me. I'll give that some thought, though I doubt CF would play along; he needs me to get stomped by Tatts.But for the moment, my Turn 6 is provisional only.

Twelve tou're a fairly nice guy and clever to boot. And I don't believe a contrary word that those others say behind your back.

Not even from Tapper.

Or Veng.

Or any of the commenters in the HHM forum thread dedicated to you.

I have a HHM forum thread dedicated just to me? Seriously!?! I would be (if true) completely honored except that I can imagine some of the stuff said about me so.... no, not so much.

Also, if we ever get another game of diplomacy going remember that I'm a nice guy and clever to boot sentiment when I try to give you advice on moves you can make. Just food for thought.

K, so we are back to SS and no provisional is in for him right?

No, no provisional but I think it would be safe to assume that if he did have one in it would be for him to use a move action to get his wayward cruiser back to his starting hex. I'd put the odds in the mid 90's percentage wise.

[twelve]

So Google you reading up and wanting to get in on the next game? Feel free to ask questions if you have any. Who knows maybe we will get enough players interested to get two games going simultaniously. MWHAHAHAHA I'm an addict and I don't care.

Ok. I'm hereabouts.
I'm going to take an upgrade action.

[b]Upgrade power source on cruiser for tachyon power source. And put positron computer over a hull spot, also on the cruiser.

I'll update my OP in a mo.

[Tattersail_]

When did you research tachyon power source? Do you mean fusion source

Yeah he probably meant fusion source, or wishful thinking about the tachyon power source.

What time is it there twelve?

Three in the afternoon, thereabouts.

Why?

Hmmm, I thought Solid was updating his OP? Must have got distracted and forgot.

[Solidsnape]

That's exactly what happened. Yeah I meant fusion.
Sorry.

Gnaw, how about I only take your homeworld and then we form an alliance again?

hmm. how about you promise to retreat w/o firing? I won't kill you. You give up my system. and then you can form an alliance once somebody else has the card,

He can't retreat. You are both pinning each other. Best you could hope for is for him to murder your interceptor and then not make an attempt at bombing your planets.

Not that I think he will, but that is very much possible. He retreats before firing a shot and I retreat all my forces. Obviously the star bases can't move, but a retreat order keeps them from firing.

Snape didn't update his OP but then most aren't bothering too either..Tapper and Twelve pass so it's your turn CF. Then the Siren.

@GP

Rather than build another dread, you'd probably be better off tossing a third plasma cannon. You have the initiative and the chances of you missing (and him hitting) 2 rounds in a row are vanishingly small.

Reason I suggest it is that the third plasma cannon would give you a much better chance at removing his population cubes without really endangering your ship at all.

GP, I don't think CF has your best interests in heart.

Since starbases can't retreat, I don't think you can order them to do so, either, so they would still shoot.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Gnaw / GP

Yes, that third plasma cannon advice was not considering a starbase. If it's only 1 interceptor then you're probably better off leaving your kit as-is.

@All,

Just going through the provisionals and making my move. Back in a minute

[Tattersail_]

What is happening with Gnaw? Is he able to do anymore moves? I don't want him to bankrupt himself completely.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Morgoth - moved cruiser
@D'rek - upgraded your cruiser and Dread with hulls in place of shields
@SS - upgraded your cruiser with posi comps and fusion source
@Tapper - no invasions so pass
@Twelve - Moved both dreads in GC to Arcturus

@Rho indi - Move cruiser from B. Hydri to Z. Draconis, interceptor from Kappa scorpii to Rho Indi.

Diplo - I think Khell has agreed in principle to diplo if I move out of B. Hydri...so done. I will place a moneycube

[cerveza_fiesta]

Back to Khell - I think he actually gets to carry out his "kill the rho indi vermin" provisional order now!

@GP

Gnaw's option is to either do an influence action and gain some extra actions to fight you, or to do a tactical retreat and regroup for next turn. I don't think either bankrupts him outright...he has lots of resources and can de-influence 3 systems without removing himself from the game.

So if he wants to build three star bases he would have to do an influence action first?

So he influences, I build another dread, then he builds star bases and I move dread. Just moving the interceptor may work as well but I have better odds with my dread. I just don't think it is worth Gnaw doing this.

[Khellendros]

The Hydran plans are vast and complex, and of all species, only the Lyra have any chance of comprehending their goals. And they're not here.

Accept diplo with CF, use money cube.

Convert 3 money to 1 materials. BUILD interceptor in Delta Eridani.
