I said that once Tapper confirms no reaction to influence 107 and settle all three slots. Everyone else has one more chance to react before I'm forced to pass. You aren't waiting on me.

Jesus, you're really stretching this out aren't you, you sadist.


I think I can safely speak for everyone when I say there are no reactions (anyone who now contradicts me gets a Hydrani fleet - or at least a menacing glare - their way next round).

Right, didn't know for sure that was your move.

Done.

Though I'm not sure why you are "forced to pass". Maybe "smart to pass".

I'm forced to pass because with that last action I used two disks one to use the influence action and my last disk to claim hex 107 Aldebaran. I don't have any more disks to do any more actions so therefore I'm forced to pass.

I'm not a sadist. Everyone should know by now how impatient I am to get things moving. But you still have to allow everyone a chance to do a reaction before I can officially pass. You never know if someone wants to do something sneaky so you have to give them the opportunity to actually do it instead of just blowing by them.

ah, I have one of your inf discs screwed up then. Will have to go back and check your turns and see.

I'll give a few more minutes in case anybody up to twelve wants to chip in a reaction, and after that we're done the round.

I picked up advanced robotics this round so overall I have one extra disk. I have 7 hexes influenced, I researched 4 times, I built twice, and I influenced once. 7+4+2+1-1=13. There are only 13 slots on the player board so maxed out.

[D'rek]

Morgoth didn't react before, I'm sure he won't now. I don't react either.

[cerveza_fiesta]

OK, everyone issue your combat orders. Round 5 action phase is over

We have

308 - Rho Indi v Ancients
306 - Orion v Exiles
23_ - Keepers v Orion

@Twelve

I forgot one of your research actions. Your playerboard is fixed now.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Tapper, would you mind updating your page 1 post with all your actions? I have something messed up in there and I want to make sure it's sorted out before I hand the board off to Gnaw.

[cerveza_fiesta]

D'rek, I know you said already, but what was the pop cube you wished for your diplo with Twelve?

I'm pretty sure she said science.

Research Diplomatic Fleet (-6 materials)

D'rek, Khell are either one of you interested in joining me in diplomatic relations?

I am indeed. What do you propose?

Exchange ambassadors with you and you with I. Are you interested?

I was before and I still am. Are you planning to descend upon GP now, or just sit steady?

I accept. Exchange ambassadors with Commodore D'rek of the Orion Hedgemawhatsits. Place a money cube on the ambassador.

I'm the Hegemon, not some lowly Commodore!

Send angry, drunken ambassador to the Eridani accountant /> and put a science cube on the Eridani ambassador.

CF

Here is the post where D'rek states she wants a science cube.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Ah, ok, good.

Well, the only combat orders that mattered really were GP vs. D'rek and she posted her desire to retreat if both cannons of GPs did not hit in the first round. D'rek v. exiles was fight to the death because of no retreat options and my ancient battle was also fight do the death...cause...fuck them.

Assuming Morgoth would target the most dangerous ship first (d'rek's dread) considering they had equal hit points, I proceeded with combat.

Will post results following.

So...good luck for D'rek, big time.

Nail-biting battle for me, but end result was victory.

Shit result for Morgoth, though even with the loss of that system he is still in the game (technically). I sense some spiteful retribution in later rounds unless d'rek cleans him up quick.

Annoying result for GP all around. Didn't get the ship or the system.

EDIT


And if you haven't already, do up your upkeep please. I'd like to pass a clean board to Gnaw if at all possible so he can manage the cleanup and tech draws without having to sort out the last round's actions.
