On the map the Gluon computer and wormhole generator are in the wrong place.

Five official map updates. Two or three pregame. At least one in the temp forum.

And somebody just catches that. That's sorta sad.

I apologise, I was working out where I want to go in the future research wise as I don't have much science at the moment. Got to use it wisely.

Why apologize? You caught something that all of us had missed. Repeatedly.

Gnaw where are the tech descriptions and what they do? On the old maps they where on there and I found that useful but you don't have to have them attached to the map. Just a link in the OP to it, or if there already is one, I cannot see it.

[Morgoth]

I'd like to keep the tile With its current orientation.

With the approach to the galactic centre secured and enduring peace with the Planta secured, it is time for the Magellan to turn their attention to the East and the outreaches of the universe, even though L'association d'economique is warning publicly against over-extension and economic exhaustion. An exploration fleet was composed and sent out east, while L'ambassadeur Outan is sent out on behalf of the Fraternité pour la fermentation to negotiate trade relations with the human empire.

Explore Tier III from my homeworld in a north-east direction. Claim, don't colonize any planets.
Extend an offer for ambassador exchange to CF.

[Khellendros]

The ones known as Planta stretch their tendrils to their nearest bipedal neighbours. Ambassadors Cabbage and Lettuce are enjoined to open their flowers in questioning desire towards the discordant three-minds-made-one of the Lyra and the soothing, growth-inducing accents of the Magellan.

The Gravemind knows the possibilities of harmonious co-existence, from the ancient times when the ones known as Planta were but a few saplings struggling for survival. The Gravemind offers the succulent juices of the Planta without assimilation. Let us bury deep roots in previously arid ground.

The Gravemind speaks the word - "alliance."

Captain Karl Border of Columbus,

Terra Firma State Media respectfully requests your participation in a live subspace interview on our evening news program The World at Eighteen-Hundred. Subject of the interview will be on your first impressions of the "Keepers of Magellan" race. We, like many here in the Capital region are excited about SD C.Fiestum's decision to welcome an emissary from the keepers and the potential for trade relations that such diplomacy brings. There has been some controversy over his decision to send a ship full of omni-economy cubits instead of the military cubit strategy put forward by some in the Directorate legislature, and we'd like your thoughts on that too.

Please reply within the hour if you are available for the interview.

Sincerely

Anna Tongerson

Captain Tim Sabian of Cabot,

Your orders are to proceed through the newly-discovered northwest wormhole of Formahaut in the direction our scientists tell us leads to the Tier 1 sectors surrounding the Starforge. We know not what we will find so close to the Starforge, but it is a fundamental part of human nature to explore the unknown and find meaning in its vastness. Report to Directorate HQ as soon as you breach the wormhole's event horizon on the far side so that all of humankind may know the wonders you have discovered.

On a side note, ensure interviews with media sources here on Old Earth are with State Mediacorp only.

Godspeed.

@Gnaw

Please see my production at the bottom of my last post. I think you have 1 cube in the wrong spot.

I discarded a money cube at the start of the game, and put 2 money cubes on emissaries, and put 1 on my home system planet.

I also have 1 material and 1 science cubes on home system planets, so my production should be as shown above, not +6, +4, +3 as you have it shown on my board ( and after accepting diplo with tapper).,

[Tapper]

The Fraternité pour la fermentation is delighted to announce trade agreements have been reached with the honorable SD C. Fiestum of the Old World and its population, according to L'embassadeur Outan. A healthy trade has been set up, in which the Magellan acquire access to the local natural substances known as "opium", "'shrooms" and "coca leaves" and the refined goods of "tequila" and "beer" towards the floating pleasure city of L'Orbital Rouge, which welcomed the arrival of new ingredients for the Pan-Galactic High with a seven week orgy of stimulants, sports and sex.

Use the ambassador for money, please.

I told that to you ages ago and you said you fixed it. I saw that it wasn't but didn't want to bring it up again as they were minor errors. I'm sure you would have gotten around to fixing it eventually.

We might still be friends later! I actually do want a warp portal, just not so close and so soon!

I'm pretty sure twelve mentioned it in his pointing out errors in the very first map you posted. You just ignored him

Leader of the Keepers of Magellan,

We understand that operators of your cloud city have received a large shipment of what we consider to be strong intoxicants from black market dealers. Tequila in particular is known to have adverse health effects in the days following consumption. Please indulge cautiously as we have no idea how these chemical compounds might affect your unique physiology.

With respect and concern

SD C. Fiestum

Khell's go. Running smoothly. Maybe tie up round 1 by the end of next week. IH goes away in December so the quicker we make our moves the better. I apologise in advance if my contacting you through PM's, alt's, facebook to let you know it is your go, annoys you or not. It's not totally because I want to go again It's more to keep the game flowing as quickly as possible.

Khell is probably waiting to see tapper's results again before he'll post his move. Even though we all know and he knows that he's just going to double explore again.

Yes that could be true. He did post after Tapper made his move..

CF, Gnaw you might want to take a look at CF's player board. I'm not sure why he currently has 4 science. Wasn't the ambassador exchange between he and Morgoth grant him additional money not science? I may be wrong on this but thought I should bring it up in case I'm not.

Thanks Tatts,

I was just looking at the latest map and that stood out to me.
