Drek you big bully leave gnaw alone!

Do you want me to help gnaw? Or are you OK?

I'm fine. It's a trap. If I do the reaction move into Twelve's hex, she'll use her last disc to move out of the warp portal and cause me to have to bankrupt both hexes.
If you move your cruiser into your warp portal, she could move her interceptor from the GC into the hex you leave open. Or move both interceptors to your warp portal, leaving you with a single cruiser vs three of her interceptors.
I say we do nothing and see if she uses that last disc. But YMMV as always.



GC mode: given that move of the Lyra I'll need confirmation of 'no reaction' from Morgy.

Morgoth, it would be funny if you went and pinned her interceptor, allowing Gnaw to foil her plans up North.

I don't think it works like that - if I and Morgoth have ships in Delta Corvi that's then 2 ships that can pin Gnaw if he tries to fly through it.

[cerveza_fiesta]

yeah, I'm not sure what I'm talking about upon reflection.

Not sure I totally understand the trap either. I guess not much is gained from us helping out IH/Gnaw

[cerveza_fiesta]

Also *nudge nudge*

d'rek, I think it's your go in game V.

Oh yeah, thanks.

[Morgoth]

So wait, D'rek has a fighter in Delta corvi? And there's no other ship there?

And just to make sure for my sake - even if I use all my discs, it still goes around the board one more time until it comes back to me and, with no discs, I pass, right? (meaning there are two potential reactions left from everyone, if I do one more action)

As it stands right now, I'm at -10. $bank: 0, 3 sci, 0 mats. Income: $8, 4, 4.Moving my cruiser to help pin Twelve means I have to bankrupt my warp portal to get to -7. One cube on mats and one on science. -7 with $8 income.
Now D'rek is sitting on my warp portal. If she takes it I get to put those cubes into the graveyard. So theoretically, I could now afford another reaction to move my fighter to nuke Twelve's last hex this side of the nova. If I did, she c/would move off my warp portal forcing me to bankrupt it and lose the production of those two cubes. I wouldn't be out of the game, but I'd have nothing at all come next round, just a couple of ships and 2 mats.
I knew I was giving up the warp portal when I moved the cruiser. Now she's giving me the 'opportunity' to take Twelve's hex.

Yes. When you use that last disc, you've taken an action. You have to Pass however, so everyone gets one last reaction before you officially pass. Which you have to do because you're out of discs.

MOVe the Sigma Draconis interceptor to Zeta Chameleontis and the Epsilon Carinae interceptor to Delta Corvi.

Pass.

Noted and noted.
Morgoth, any reaction?

[D'rek]

Those foggy academics can never get anything published on time

[Gnaw]

No reaction unless Morgoth, IH, or Twelve do one.

"Foggy" is probably right. Sources say that with the record harvest of Planta leaves last round, prices have dropped dramatically.

[Morgoth]

Hmph, so no murdering of Khell then. Well, I might as well block you from doing other shenanigans.

Reaction - use cruiser to pin D'reks fighter.

Also, if I understand it correctly that you only have one disc left, D'rek, then there will only be one reaction for everyone coming after you.

[D'rek]

Awwww

[D'rek]

MOVe the interceptor in Zeta Chameleontis to Procyon (through the warp portal, not pinned by Morgoth, to Alpha Centauri, etc)

[D'rek]

And then everyone gets 1 more chance at a reaction before I pass.
