Ha, nice discussion.

I am still in for a concerted attack, but two things have now changed.

Twelve stands no chance of losing those dreads and we have nobody that can successfully attack the GC. Income damage is meaningless unless it comes with some material damage too. Right now, he can just bloat back out from the GC and retake every single system we win this round with superior technology.

What do others think about this? I can still go after the home system but I get the sneaking suspicion he'll just build a fucktonne of interceptors there and blow me sky-high out of spite.

Doesn't seem there is a lot we can do...

So tapper, about that 2 pronged attack on SS>?

That doesn't even make sense. Even with all of SS's territories, Tapper still wont have as many points as twelve. the only way for anyone but twelve to win is for twelve to lose a lot of territory.

Agreed it makes very little sense at all. The only person aside from twelve who it makes any sense to attack this turn is Tats, because he is wide open.

It makes much more sense for a coordinated attack on twelve, losing systems this turn will hurt him in the long run, the more systems he loses now, the harder it will be for him to come back. Realistically at this point killing his ships doesn't make much difference, as his amount of materials means there is little difference between a build and a move.

Still can't believe you guys let him grab conifold hull. I was sure khell was going to grab it and the 9 power. Then twelve would be in trouble.

The one person who doesn't gain directly from an attack on twelve is SS, so maybe you should be thinking about ceding some systems to him, to let others attack twelve.

Attack Snapey?
Help Snapey?

Please make up your mind, I don't know wether I'm supposed to shitting myself or not.

[Khellendros]

SS gains from an attack on twelve by not having CF or Tapper attacking him instead, which also leaves him free to attack Tatts' territory and gain hexes there.

[Tattersail_]

Where do we stand, I know we are working this out and I had a provisional in, but I am here now and can do my move when it gets to me. Probably the same as my provisional.

[Tattersail_]

Khell I WILL hit Twelve next round, IF I have something left to do it with.

So D'rek how upset would you be if I researched Plasma missiles when it comes back around to me?

What makes you think she's not going to take them this turn?

Shitshitshit.

I've fucked up someplace. That plasma missile shouldn't be there.


NVM. One too many SVG files open.

CF, the file is uploading. It'll take it another hour or so. I'm on adsl because my telco has no competitors so they can get away with highway robbery for dsl.

so I can pull it from your ftp and continue modding then?

I'm cool with that. Just let me know when it's up there and ready to go.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Frig, what to do??

I don't think there is anything lost in me doing a build action, since I'll have to do it anyway.

Build 2 interceptors in Rho indi

My problem is that I will get the shit end of the stick in the move against Twelve. He's already said he's blow me out of the sky to spite me, and I think he could reasonably accomplish that by simply building a few more interceptors in his home system and making an upgrade to the blueprint. He's got money and hexes to burn this turn, so I don't think he's too worried about throwing a few more action discs around.

Every other system is expendable in his view I think and he's happy to let us stretch ourselves too thin in taking them, then hammering us for it next round. You know....use this round's remaining actions to vaporize the Rho indi fleet and let the mechanema do what they want. Then next turn tackle the Mechanema. Without an allied attack I don't think we can reasonably take him out.

But then again, I hate to see somebody just run away with the game without a challenge, so I'm cool with heading for Eridani home system next action.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Everyone just don't block Capella since it's my only way in.

[Khellendros]

What do people think, shall I just move to Arcturus or further afield? I have fusion drives so can move one ship up to four hexes.

We can wait, as far as I am concerned, and Tatts helping would be a boon (IF he finally is honest), BUT, where does that leave D'rek and Khell for next round?

[cerveza_fiesta]

Fear no attack from me if you want to bite the bullet of going for the homeworld. You'd have a much better chance of surviving it to be honest. I will come in and nuke as many undefended hexes as I can in your wake and leave them for you to take afterward.

[Tattersail_]

This is the one and only game I have actively been dishonest. I thought i'd give it whirl seem as you are all pro's at it, look how it has back fired.

So you admit that you are in fact a liar, o "I, liar"?

Would you really? What benefit is it for you to have Tatts, currently in 2nd place, stomp all over me, gain more hexes with more points and more artifacts, and still have his dreads next round to fight you with?

It's always a possibility. If the conifold field hadn't fallen to my lap I would have grabbed these for sure as they were my only hope to fight back the hordes. I mainly wanted to gauge your interest in the tech. It seems your best bet to win a fight against Tatts especially since you are lacking in additional power to utilize the gluon computers.

this is why I am not confident on my victory.

I'm so proud of you. You are finally growing up to be a good little imperialist in training. Why the fuck don't you do the same in mafia?

[twelve]

And I just realized it's my turn. CF hid his action buried in his post. Give me a few to think on it and I'll post my action shortly.

And I'm too drunk on my own power to realize I go before CF not after him. Oh well. Lets see what the squidies do. Pretty sure there will be a party in Arcturus but maybe he'll surprise me.

You know I go through spells. I just realised if I lied a little more in mafia that I would be a better player but I don't like to lie when I am town. For example if I lied in the game where Khell was Vord he wouldn't have killed me and I think the game may have turned out differently.
