Whoa!!!!

I just took a look at the Map update. Is Aldebaran (hex 107) really uninfluenced? I don't remember Tatts abandoning that hex to pay for his upkeep.

[Tattersail_]

I didn't want to get in the way of D'rek moving in on you

[cerveza_fiesta]

So twelve, feel like making a better offer? I can be of assistance in your plan to crush the opposition.

We pirates are so fond of temporary alliances to meet short term ends.






*just joking guys...just lulling him into a false sense of security...I will betray him!

*just joking about that twelve

not really. But yeah, totally joking about the joke.

EDIT

Or possibly joking about the joke about the joke about the joke.

IT's ANYBODY'S GUESS!!!

This game is being influenced by the lack of drives available or is that common for the first half?

@CF - I think you forgot to move my science marker down from my research.

You have a clear path to go that route, we need IH to go back door and CF and I to go other ways. Would you sacrifice a cruiser for both of twelve's dreads? I am going to beef mine up to at least 14 HP.

Yeah, You don't move against me I won't build a starbase with gluon computers on it on my homeworld to blow you out of the sky. Your fleet is already looking mighty beat up as it is. You can build one interceptor or cruiser this round. The cruiser suffers from slow drives yet your interceptors are easily beat. Plus you won't get as much support as you think you will. D'rek has to deal with Morgoth still especially now that he has access to improved hulls and Tapper/IH has to be carefull of SS with his 3 cruisers and Dread right on his border. Solid could have built the Warpportal yet opted to join the arms race so that leaves him only one option, through Tapper/IH. Khell will consolidate the Hive hex and Zeta Draconis so that proably won't leave him much room to move on me and why would he want to throw ships away against me anyway when he can grow south through you. Tatts is the only one that you have any realistic hope of attacking me yet it will be just his two dreads as he opted not to artifact key. With my starbases and or Dreads versus his Dreads I'm thinking that will be enough to thwart any attack from him even with his improved hulls.

Then again I could be wrong......

I might have to relook over my options this round after all.

As it stands Twelve I have done nothing in the simulator. I see you are going to be invincible pretty soon, but I don't see D'rek disengaging from Morgoth, I think IH would love me to go into battle with you whilst he does nothing but that isn't going to happen, I need to hear more from him and what he plans, I am open to diplo with him, and have sorted some agreement on Gnaw's hexes. I just don't want to be trying to take you on o my own although I think I could, and I will force you to go for Artifact key over the computer because the computers could make you very strong. Yet if you get computer this round you won't have the materials to do much against a few of us.

[Tattersail_]

IH would need to hit a couple of your hexes to trim down your production is what I mean.

[Tattersail_]

I don't think SS is ready to make a move on IH/Tapper. It would require too many moves this round. A couple of interceptors from Tapper/IH into the two connecting hexes of yours would be great. I'd place his cruisers to beat solid's this round if that is what he chooses to do there.

Really? If you were in Tapper's shoes that would be the move you'd make?

[cerveza_fiesta]

Everybody is going to have to cooperate for anything vs. Twelve to work out...and to really beat somebody back it requires two turns of aggression. The first to oust him from worlds and the second to actually hurt his production.

Can we really stop our petty squabbles long enough to make that happen?

I'm sure I don't have a vote. So I'll be the bookie: even money that no one else will nay. and 3:2 that anyone attacks twelve with 10:1 that all cooperate in doing so.

@D'rek - science marker moved. Thanks.

IH still flying? The game should pick up pace again after the weekend.
