Whos next? I havent seen Tapper around today.

CF is up. He was on shortly before Morgoth took his action but it seems he left before it was posted. I'm sure he and hopefully Tapper and Khell will get their action in while I sleep and then D'rek will get up to place her action and I'm sure you will be awake and available to go before Gnaw gets up. I have left a provisional with the GC as I'm going to likely be out and away from the internet by the time it gets back around to me.

CF's options are limited.

• can't research.
• can only explore Tier II or Tier III.
• pass.

So if Tapper were to do a research or Tier I explore, we could skip CF.

But then I think we'll be stuck on Khell. He say's he's not going to explore Tier I, so that leaves research, explore Tier III, or pass.

Fresh updated boards posted.

Check for errors please. Swapping to and from the other forum is bound to lead to a mistake or six.

First mistake: none of the colony ships are flipped.

Hm, very well. In the words of the famous prophet, I will rotate the hex one step anti-clockwise from its current position. This will connect one wormhole to the main campus, and have one wormhole pointing south, and one south east.

Alas, though It would have been nice, the hex also has an ancient.

Don't forget to shoot a PM with your provisional. D'rek, Gnaw, and Twelve are all < -5 UTC, so as long as we have a provisional from you we can get some moves while you're asleep.

And thanks again for those summaries. The post with the collected diplo exchanges was great

In a controversial move this morning, the SD ordered emissary ships to proceed through the wormhole north of Sol (procyon) system, and explore the void beyond. At this point, few doubt our SD is on the wrong course. It is only a matter of time before all this fraternizing with foreign species comes back to haunt us.

[D'rek]

Tapper always seems to do a really good job of cutting himself off from the world. Last game that was more understandable because he didn't go to tier 1 at all, but with the way the wormholes are now he can use Aldebaran to shut out Gnaw and Tatts, despite it having 5 wormholes. At least CF getting Fomalhaut means those two are definitely connected at their homeworlds through Fomalhaut.

"Have you been doing your reading Gnaw?"

"Get on with it Klzaargh."

"Testy? That's not like you Chmee Gnaw. You need to get an embassy team out to Cassiopia. The Magellans may make a wormhole connection."

"Now that would be good news Kzaargh."

"I've got my fastest courier ship standing by. Tell your team that packing light is not an option; tail, claw, and tooth room only."

"They'll be there. Tell your pilot the ship lifts in two hours."

"You have been doing your homework Gnaw."

"No idea what you're talking about Admiral Kzaargh. But I am good at my job. Oh, and tell your courier pilot that my team is being told that tail, claw and tooth applies to the door."

"You're spoiled Gnaw. Courier ships pilots are notorious for lifting from ports and leaving behind gambling debts and passenger tails."

"And once the ship lifts all debts are paid. I'm not as spoiled as you think Kzaargh. Good day."
