Yeah drek was really the one who needed positrons.

Can't see what Gnaws proposal could be to change this order, so:

RESEARCH: cloaking device (trade 6 money in for 4 science), put it on the top track

I'm shocked that everyone has left that tech for CF. Positron computers wasn't even on my radar in terms of techs I'd like to have.

Seriously?!

That was the tipping balance of why I took it so I would keep it out of CF's hands.

[Galactic Council]

I'm here. catching up.

Damn I wanted that device. never thought it could get that close.

IH/CF. I have vague instructions on a very specific goal. You were only mentioned in so far as "try to talk him into going elsewhere.

[Imperial Historian]

Yup, sure it would have been ok, but if cloaking field wasn't available I'd have gone for gluons over positron computers. Only reason I'd have taken positron computers would be to stop d'rek getting them... and I don't really care if she does.

[Galactic Council]

So research Gluon and leave the cloak for me?

actually that should have com from this alt.

I knew you would have been able to go after Gluon but it would have required you to convert materials to science and I'm all about keeping you from being able to build ships if at all possible. Plus I needed a computer upgrade even if it's not the best option.

[Gnaw]

Well, PS is cleaned up. Mafioso animals are safe enough for the moment.

So. Shall we decide how to kil Twelve?

[Gnaw]

On a side note I found the conifold field tile in the draw stack. But it would appear that Point Defense and Tractor beam were never included.

whaaaaaaaaa? Do we need to do a full tech audit...?

I'm working on it. The one very nice thing about the SVG file that CF uses is that it gives every object a unique id. And I can search for that id. If I know what id I'm looking for. But CF sent his origianl game setup file to me, so I can cross reference where each tile ended up.

But in the case of PD and TB, those two are not in the original file. I couldn't find them in the latest file because they were never there to begin with.

[Gnaw]

So IH, any thought on reconsidering your draw. With my hand across my heart and third tentacle on left side wrapped around me and it's damp tip stuck in my right ear, I won't use the cloak against you. (Yeah, I don't have any tentacles but they supplied me with a translator/culture guide/spy.)

Is there something/somewhere that has what the tech pile was originally and see if they were in there with all the other tech before any were drawn?

edit: it should match this, which is what I posted at the start and I thought what CF was using to make the pile

Nonono, none of this crap. Yeah, we allow mulligans if the next person has gone, but let's please not get into the next person asking the previous player to change their action before they go... or else it'll take months to go through all the "You just moved your ships to attack me, but what if I tell you bla bla bla so pleeeease undo your action and move them somewhere else bla bla blah"

[Gnaw]

Starbase power can only be upgraded by putting a source inside the blueprint or can it cover the one on the ring?

Like any other ship, you can only put a ship part tile in one of the slots.

Yeah I did it with Tapper back in round two so i didn't have to fight his interceptors before I fought the ancients.

[Gnaw]

And, I left a note saying I wanted to talk to IH.

But his lack of response combined with D'rek's desire to speed things up wins.

So, is it me?
