Either you're drunk again or your phone is.

That is the only easy out for my ships. I cannot get out any other way, choice its Shit there and do nothing or try and move them all out. Tapper and his interceptor bay! I knew I'd be needing it.

What I meant is that versus you could put your actions towards building new ships and using the ones you still have in your main territory.

I'm doing a pretty good job catching up here. I'll be busy tomorrow but should be able to post a move when things come back around. I guess you could consider this my taking the reins of the Rho Indi back IH. Thanks for the help last week. Good round.

Khell, I don't know if we're enough to stem the Twelve Tide, really.

If we chase, say, the dreads, he can really pour in the confold field cruisers to their aid. I'm afraid we need a concerted effort with the rest of the board participating to make any serious inroads.,


What did you have in mind?

This is what happens when IH doesn't put things in bold.

I shall ruminate and return forthwith with decisive decision in tow.

ruminate = rum() & ate

Or I could just slap on the three conifold fields onto the Dreads per what D'rek suggested and save the cruisers for the assault by Tapper. Oh and add more conifold hulls onto my starbases to keep Tatts at bay.

I feel as giddy as a school girl that you all let me have this tech. hehehehe

I seriously don't see why we shouldn't all just say 'fuck it' and hit the smarmy git him with everything we can.

[Khellendros]

If we were all sensible and for one round focused on twelve, this is what should go down:

I throw as much as I can into Arcturus.

CF goes to Iota Bootis.

Tapper goes to Capella.

Tapper allows SS to pass through his territory, and SS doesn't flipping stop there, but caries on to Zeta Herculis.


That would then leave Tapper, CF, SS, and Tatts all within one hex of the Galactic Centre, and it would be a glorious race to see who can muster up enough quickest to get to it first, whilst twelve desperately tries to cling on.

I could see that happening. It won't.
Since Tatts and D'rek are about to do a Wagnerian battle to decide who gets to crush Morgy, SS should go through the warp portal and straight up to Pollux. Khell does his attack on Twelve's southern front.
That gives Tapper and CF the ability and opportunity to coordinate a simultaneous assault on SS and Khell.

[Khellendros]

Yeah, except that won't happen either. There's been a great deal of paralysis this game resulting from players thinking that if they act, then someone else will take advantage of them from another quarter. Indeed, they might well be right, though half the time it hasn't happened (see twelve, and then Tatts; but it did happen when Gnaw acted, and when D'rek acted - heh, Tatts both times).


But I think we've now learned why these large games have alliances. It allows far more action because risk of attack from another quarter is minimised.

I suspect if everyone hadn't been quite so gung-ho with the warp portal explorations it wouldn't be so bad. Live and learn!

That's what I've been saying for months!

Didn't he do those actions last round?

[Morgoth]

Yeah, I haven't done anything yet

[Tattersail_]

I don't think it affects d'rek's move, i just checked the op and saw that he had two actions. You are right, he researched plasma cannons this round. My bad, he has been on thread since though, so I thought he updated the OP.
