What makes you think twelve will get nanobots? There are more than enough people to research and stop him.
I don't think the result is certain by any means yet, where do the VPs stand? Twelves only on 34 VP, which isn't game winning by any stretch. mid 30's is a fairly average score.
Materials in the bank are just that, materials in the bank, if he can't use them they are worthless. I've lost count of the number of times someone with a huge bank of materials has ended up coming dead last, because they couldn't use them effectively.

I'm loving the sense of despair everyone else is giving off. Plus, you giving them hope just isn't very fair to the poor huddled masses as it is a false hope.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Is it me who's choosing direction of play? If so, I'd like to go anti-clockwise.

I still think it's pretty certain, but I'm in to the bitter end anyway!
Board is going up soon.

Board is up.
Morgoth first, direction counter-clockwise.
Please have a look at your playerboard and have a quick glance at your hexes. I'd like to try and catch any mistakes asap this round.

SS lost his Dread in the fight against Tatts. And shouldn't the supernova tiles be flipped over to show they blew up? I think that was the only things I saw that needed fixing but I didn't take too close of a look at things.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I'm going to put a provisional.
research artifact key
Spend 10 science, flip 3 colony ships for science, convert 3 materials for science.

SUPERNOVA ROLLS
Khell's supernova [1,1] + 4 = 6 (less than 7) KABOOM!!!!
Before I post the pre-round-8 board I need to know from Khell where he wants me to put the 2 grey planet cubes lost in the supernova.

And that leaves this for the last draw I believe:

Oh come on, no fucking way. COME. ON. Two 1s, the only score which would have wiped out my supernova. I am so depressed right now, if we had a physical board I would totally upend it and scatter all the pieces everywhere in a fit of rage.
I don't know CF, all is lost. I can now do absolutely nothing in the final round. Fucktastic.
Not true Khell. "...result is equal or less than..."
So a 2,1 would have done you in as well.

So it has to be me and you, CF, researching those nanorobots. As Tatts has said what he's going to do, I will:
RESEARCH Nanorobots and Advanced Economy, for 8 Science.
Colonise advanced money planets in Epsilon Hydrae, Delta Eridani, and Arcturus.

Khell if I could afford them I would've grabbed them asap! Where is D'rek when you need her. How do we get a different winner to Twelve? I don't mind throwing everything I have at him, let him have the centre, but only the center.

I will take 1 for the team then.
RESEARCH - Nanorobots for 2 science
also, thanks Gnaw for the SN tiles. I have added them to the board and they will show in the next board update.
SS's dreadnought has been removed.
Thanks for the corrections Twelve, I was cross-eyed by the end of that combat / upkeep.

Boo about you taking one for the team.
And you are welcome. I should have looked at the board more closely but I just did a quick scan.
Research neutron bombs
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

You can still get them. Just be the first to pass.
