Action 3: Influence:

• Remove disk from 391
• -Return the 2 grey cubes to science
• -Place influence cube back on 391 colonize two grey slots with money
• -Reset two colony ships 3 available
• (5$/0S/18M Upkeep -5)

Is this legal? It would mean placing a cube on the 2 slot.

Yep. It's a slot on the board that can be filled. That would mean that my science output is now zero!!!!

[Tattersail_]

so this is D'rek's turn 4?

Dr. Grievence, don't take an action yet. I have an idea but need to check boardgamegeek to make sure I'm reading the rule correctly.

Since we've got new player(s) taking over, I'm going to ask rather than just do something.

Does anyone see a chance for bullseye alliance as formed to win?

[D'rek]

Which one is the bullseye alliance?

I assume he means Vortex

Sure. Keep in mind we're only on round 6, still 3 and a half more rounds to go and a lot can happen in that time.

FYI if you check your pms you will find my itinerary. I have a 12 hour layover on March 8th. Now I just need to figure out what the hell I want to do for the day.

Dude. It's Amsterdam. And you'll be climbing back on an airplane for another 5? hours.

It's not trafficking if you've smoked it all.

[Tattersail_]

I don't see our alliance winning though, other's are in a better position and we are thinly stretched with poor resources. We can influence who will win though. I think he means bullseye alliance because everyone wants to do us harm even though we aren't in the best position. Morg/CF should want us to win more battles against Tapper, Drek and Khell but they seem content to let us fight. Twelve is going to keep us busy and D'rek is a major pain in the ass. This game hurts.

[Gnaw]

Nova, Flare, Vortex. Two circles painted on a shield is a bullseye.

Tatts, are you going to stick with the kill lichen or are you going to move your ships back to defend your worlds?

Dr. Grievence: Get your dread out of my warp portal. And prepare to make friends with Twelve.


Rules are rules and argue with Sampo Sikiö if you wish.

Anyone can leave an alliance and join another alliance. They cannot re-join the one they were in. If there were three players in the alliance, that alliance cannot add another person because all of the tokens are in use. However, if somebody bankrupts out of the game the token is freed up.

I propose, since I really hate playing for third, that I leave the alliance. As part of my bankruptcy plan, I will attack Dr. Grievence so as to take the traitor card.

Grievence replaces my ambassador with one from Twelve. After I bankrupt out, Twelve can join the Bullseyes.

Meh, they're going to rip you off selling it to you, then rip you off when they notice you're high. It's the Amsterdam business model for tourism.

I will reply tomorrow when back at the desk - the gf is leaving for Poland tomorrow so tonight is date night.

[Gnaw]

Actually it would work even better if Grievence moves his cruiser out of Twelve's way. Twelve builds 3 interceptors and moves them to 304, his homeworld, and the hive.

Grievence moves his dread to my homeworld and a cruiser to his homeworld.

They make friends at the end of the combat.

I don't know about the rest but I was pretty certain that the bolded is not correct. The only 'normal' way to leave an alliance is to take the betrayer card - which then means you can't join another.

I also don't think it would be in the spirit of the game to purposefully bankrupt out. Think of it this way - you're an actual galactic civilisation. You want to do what's in the best interests of your people. Is it in your people's best interests to destroy yourselves?

As D'rek says, there's still a third of the game to go too.

[Imperial Historian]

What are the scores? I still think dr griefance can win, there is a hell of a lot of the game to go

[Khellendros]

My current VP score is 33...but unfortunately that will likely be halved by the end of the round

[Galactic Council]

new maps going up. but my internet is very flaky.

And I dont' have a VP count but will get one.

[Khellendros]

Ten posts away from 2000 posts...to think at the beginning of 2013 I had something like 400 posts.

Damn discovery tiles. mumble, mumble, mumble. slam dunk turns to rejection, mumble, mumble, mumble.

Not sure what to think of Gnaw's plan but I'm pretty sure IH or grievance will veto it.
