Long shot doesn't quite cover it, what are the odds? Certainly less than 5%? I don't think you can get 5% odds even if I send in my cruiser!

[Khellendros]

Please can we get to the next round already, this is taking foreeeeeeeeeeever. Just pass you maniacs.

Oh god what madness are you going to come up with this time.

Being allied with you and tatts is no good for my mental health, you keep doing crazy shit! But since drek has almost inevitably won at this poone (I'm expecting absurd point totals of 50+ vp) at least it will be entertaining, just don't let twelve finish above us.

I'll do no reaction for both I think, though I reserve the right to change my mind if someone does something crazy.

MWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

That has been my master plan all along. Let your mistake of allying with Tatts and Gnaw be your own undoing. Maybe next time you will ally with me. Just think how kick ass we would be if you hadn't attacked me all those turns ago. I'd be your defensive back while you would have marched through Morgoth and CF while I would have been building orbitals and monoliths with what should have been insane material production. Wait this sounds strangely similar to a pitch I threw out at EM. That didn't work out too well either.

Coming from you who we have been waiting all week for you to make your move in the other eclipse game. Sheesh.

Really? I didn't realise. I tend not to check until someone PMs me, and no one has!

I completely agree we would have been an almighty killing machine, but then you'd have pulled a d'rek . Plus it's been genuinely a privilege to match wits with you in our little encounters, the game wouldn't have been nearly as much fun if you were on my side.

Hmm. It's a dim memory and I'm too lazy to go look, but I seem to recall blackmailing you into our alliance. Are you saying you're glad I did that?

Round 9 - No Reaction
Round 10 - Provisional: Move int Epsilon Indi -> Kappa Volantis Take traitor card; put cube on money.

Tapper, move a ship to Pollux damn you! You get the traitor card for all of 30 seconds.

[Morgoth]

What decisions?

[Gnaw]

Whether or not to do reactions.


I put you in the PM just so you'd know. you're out of discs and can't do any.

No reaction

[Imperial Historian]

Just had an epic 5 player game of eclipse, which ended on a 3 player draw with 34 points each, and me on 32 pts (but with the traitor card so 34 before the traitor card). Ridiculously close. I'd have won with 35 pts but rolled snake eyes in the crucial battle, when any other roll would have won. Really enjoyed playing as pirates though, trashing everyone's fleet at least once in the game before I got ganged up on.

First real life game played with all 3 mini expansions. Supernova was loved by all, pulsar and nebula weren't as popular, but nebula definitely is interesting.

[Gnaw]

I'd love to play this live. But boonies == no gamers I know. Short of putting an ad in the paper.

[Gnaw]

And should I betray Morgy this round or wait for him to do it to me next?

Edit: That is assuming Tapper gives me the chance.

Pass.

noooooooooooooo

[Gnaw]

Of course, I was really going to go to Si Cygni and leave you with the traitor card. So you probably did the wise thing.
