Well that's a shame. I was hoping for the opportunity to force you into bankruptcy.

I panicked a bit when I realized that somebody could force me into bankruptcy. But he missed the chance.

[Morgoth]

Panic can be fun.

[twelve]

So we just waiting on Tapper? I'd like to get the next round up and running so I get to build ships and kick some ass. Get a little revenge.

Waiting on Tapper's turn 7 and turn 8, and then on my turn 8. I think everyone else has passed?

Then we see if anyone wants to react to whatever actions Tapper and I have done.

[Gnaw]

dammit. I shouldn't have passed.

[D'rek]

Gnaw, on 06 December 2013 - 05:12 PM, said:

Why not?

Given that Tapper hasn't confirmed his turn 7, and there hasn't been any actions submitted after your pass yet, I'd be okay with you changing it.

Yes there have been. Morgoth did a no reaction. Unless Tapper does something utterly different than moving ships into the GCDS for his turn 7 my action is locked; to use him as an excuse to change my mind is an abuse of the "skip players" system we're using

I wasn't counting the non-reactions, since they are... well non-reactions! But w/e works. You could always react, yourself, if it would accomplish the same.

[Galactic Council]

Somebody text Tapper

[Tapper]

move another 2 inties into the centre. .

For the next action, I will need the combat calculator - basically, see the chance I have now, and then calculate whether I'd better
A) pass
move another inty in
C) upgrade with shield instead of computer
D) upgrade with ion cannon instead of computer.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to do so for the next 9 hours.

I don't think I'll need another action after that.

I'll do the calculations for you. Stand by.

[Tattersail_]

I wish drek was on my team :-)

[D'rek]

4 ints as is == 54%

5 ints as is == 72% avg about 4 survivors when you win


4 ints, change PC to GS = 87% average of about 3 surviving ints when you win

4 ints, change PC to IC = 74%

[D'rek]

Tapper, what do you think for my action? Options are as follows:

1) Leave interceptors where they are. Gnaw will probably only have Phi Piscum on our side of the board from here onwards.

2) Move the Delta Eridani interceptor to Phi Piscum. Gnaw is at [+15 -21] right now. He loses Aldebaran, probably not his HW, and maybe Zeta herculis. If he only loses Aldebaran, or loses 2 discs and chooses to place one, then he also has to remove Delta Eridani, anyways, so good on me that I moved the interceptor out.

3) Move both interceptors to more profitable places. If Gnaw retains Zeta Herculis, he has to remove 3 hexes in upkeep, one of which has to be Delta Eridani and Aldebaran is a very logical choice since it only has money on it. On the other hand, if Morgoth wins in Zeta Herculis Gnaw can keep one of those hexes and pester me/us with it next round.
