Yes. Its great thanks Gnaw.

He's put several nicely done things on BGG.

[Morgoth]

I think you forgot to give Tapper a disk for his advanced robotics.

Eh. I won't react. I'll take my licks like a good little exile. Where the galaxy perpetually has it in for our people.

One day the Exiles will rise again.

Thank you. Fixed.



If you wish, PM a provisional?

I'll be here for a while, so no need

Okey. It looks like D'rek got caught up at work so it could be awhile.

I will enjoy seeing Morgoth, CF, D'rek and Tapper bite pieces off your alliance while you 'attempt' to chew pieces off me.

"Chmee Gnaw, the translator software we purchased from the Mechanema agree with out own translators. Stripped of the null content the messages says, 'Oops'."

"Chmee Gnaw. The linguistics department did as you requested. Using academic conferences as cover, we sent one of your security officers who posed as a grad student. The officer spoke with specialists from other species and came back with similar results. The semantic content of those messages all come out to some variation of "oops". He added that one Hydrani grad student was most helpful. They developed a rapport it seems, for the officer stated that "the beverage 'instant coffee' was prepared" for him as a celebratory drink upon elevation to the title "Honorary Member of the Adjunct Faculty for Biological Fertilizers at the elite Hydrani educational facility known as the Technical College of Agriculture,"

"Thank you Professor, the Chmee has had something urgent come up and needs to reschedule this meeting for another day. Our office will comm you with the details later."

In office:

"Secretary don't ever let that idiot in here again. All he had to do was send a summary. And find out who the security officer was; he deserves some attention for his excellent work."


In hallway:

"Professor, did it go well?"

"That idiot is in charge? Draco preserve us. I heard him tell the other idiot to promote the security fool. None of them realized they've been the object of a practical joke. Taken in like some back savannah freshman. If I'd have sent them a summary in plain Heroe's Tongue we'd have all lost our ears. And your idea! Excellent. My droning voice almost had them asleep by the third sentence just as you predicted."

"Thank Draco Professor."

"Don't thank him just yet. When you get back with my fresh cup of klaat we're going to have a chat about my "droning" voice."

I could use some cohorts. I'm taking applications.

Morgoth? CF? I can be your muscle (If I live long enough to be able to field any ships that is. (hint help a guy out why don't you?))

• (1$, 0S, 2M Upkeep-5)
• Exchange Ambassadors with IH. Both send monetary gifts.

Imperial Historian

• So upgrade cruiser with 2 improved hull over electron computer and in the blank space, and one positron computer over the hull.
• Upkeep -3 £0 S0 M9

Morgoth provisional Upgrade - Add fusion source and fusion drive to cruiser

CF - Upgrade starbases - Imp hull on blank spot and imp. hull over one regular hull.

Tapper - Influence.

• Flip a colony ship for 1 science. Remove disc from Aldebaran. Turn that colony ship face-up.
• Gnaw, I think you removed the money cube on Aldebaran to the material track instead? Fixed

Khell - INFLUENCE

• Epsilon Carinae and Lambda Serpentis. Colonise all planets (grey planet with science cube). Reveal the discovery.
• So what wondrous creation do I get this time, GC? A clapped-out interceptor? A tech I already possess maybe? Oh, a piece of lint from your pocket perhaps?

Twelve - Provisional Influence

No I will have one adv material slot not populated. Don't populate 304 with an influence disk and colonize the adv material slot and I'll be good.

• -remove influence disk on supernova
• -return all three population cubes to materials
• reset 2 colony ships 3 ships available.
• -move influence disk from player board back to supernova
• -populate 2 grey slots on supernova to science. use the last colony ship on the adv material slot on the supernova while we are at it.

  • @Rules:
  • Not that I have anything to do with an extra colony ship just now, but does the above constitute a use of 2 or 3 colony ships? In other words, does building an orbital require a colony ship to populate it or does it populate by default? Has to be populated
    
• I should add that my provisional move is incumbent on no aggressive action or posturing taken against me or my ally.

Tapper

• I think the money cube from Aldebaran was moved to materials, instead.
• fixed
  

• Research Positron Computer and flip 3 colonyships for science, please - it should come with a discount of -3, and +3 science gained --> 10 - 5 + 3 = 8.
• That also gives me a discovery tile, please - any ships/orbitals/warp portals et cetera are deployed in my homeworld should I keep them.

How exciting, just waiting on IH to no react, and then it's time for Morghy and CF to enact the other part of the master plan.


BAM!


Surprise suckers!

You didn't see that one coming, did you Dweebie Alliance?
