And there's the reason I wanted Khell to hurry up. Tatts, Morgoth and D'rek were here. Now they're not.

I'm staying home sick, so I'll be on and off all day (and tomorrow) (and the day after that) (and every day after that until I die of this woodworm plague)

Announcement: As part of a continuing effort to increase efficiency and game flow I will be discontinuing the request that players post their actions on the first page as they take them. I will be keeping a running total in this thread and in the Eclipse Game III Action thread.

This alone would increase the likelihood of mod errors going uncorrected. However, if players posting their actions in this thread would also post their running resources, the odds of errors theoretically drops substantially.

For example, the last three action orders would be:

The enormous doors to the Aquatic Chambers slide open with the satisfying hiss of superior technology. For long moments, nothing happens. The entire ocean seems have drawn its, uh, water breath. And then, out floats...a head.

The head of the Hegemon diplomat.

Before the shoals can even voice a scream or a cheer, a figure hurriedly swims out - or as hurriedly as its ridiculous stumpy legs can take it. The Eridani diplomat, wisely deciding that no more needs be said and he should probably see how his wife and lizardbug-children are doing anyway because he hasn't seen them for quite a galactic space-month.

The K'rish languidly swims out. And he burples:

"The Cruisers SS Drowned Rat and SS Whale of a Time, currently stationed in Arcturus, shall MOVE. They shall fly through Pollux, where they shall update the systems from scout to fighter of the SS Fish out of Water, before splitting. The SS Drowned Rat shall carry on to Vega, to meet their main force of the Hegemon scum, while the SS Whale of a Time shall go to Psi Capricorni. Let us realise the fears of the Hegemon, and they shall know they have only themselves to blame for their impending doom!

And the shoals were hidden from view by the bubbles of their screamed delight.

During an influence action you may do whatever you wish with 2 action discs.

So, yes, you may continue your secret plot to allow Khell to attempt to win the game by moving into high value hexes while allowing CF to fly up his backside.*


Edit: The CF part I assume was not part of your plan. But it's a likely unintended consequence.

Tatts, You know the answer to this question already. What does the influence action allow you to do?

Come on....
Come on....

I know you know this.

I believe in you. I really do.

I wanted him to have to utilize an (aparently) underutilized piece of his anatomy.

nope

Quote

By selecting the Influence action, you may move up to two Influence Discs. These moves may be:

• from your Influence Track, or
• from a hex where you have an Influence Disc
• to a hex that does not contain an Influence Disc or an en­ emy Ship and is adjacent to a hex where you have a disc or a Ship, or
• to a hex where only you have a Ship, or
• back to your Influence Track.

There is a minor chance that my continuing RL family issue will erupt again shortly. So I may not be around for 3 or 4 hours this evening. Please do not let that interfere with game play. Unless everyone was to pass, there is no need for the mod to be monitoring the game for a while. I apologize for the interruption anyway.

influence remove disc from psi capricorni

If you're going to do that may I suggest

• Influence action
  • flip a colony ship for resource X
  • Remove disc from Psi Capricorni
  • flip colony ship face up.
• ($0, Sci 6. mat 3. -0 upkeep) Of course those resource totals would be raised by the 1 resource you gained doing the flip.

Edit: nvm. Morgoth took his turn.

I have come to the conclusion that many of you are smoking substances considered illegal in most countries.
