I think this is the date+time that will work best for everyone. Who's in?

It is almost 3:30pm now D'rek does that agree with the time you just posted?

Sunday is good for me

D'rek did you see the post where I got my calendar dates mixed up? If I'm going to participate it has to be on one of the two weekends after this date.

And a 7 am wakeup call.... Guess I'm not staying up super late that Saturday night if it gets pushed back a week or two.

I don't know about the weekend after. I am away on the 21st and 22nd for sure.

What about the 23, 24? The 21st and 22nd are a Thursday and a Friday.

That is why I said I am unsure, if we like the place we are staying we might stay an extra night or so. Count me in. I will let you know otherwise.

It's weird. You guys are on GMT/WET whatever now, but we still haven't shifted from EDT to EST, so the difference isn't the same as it will be on the 17th.


If the 17th works for a lot of people except Twelve, I would say we still run it on the 17th and if it works we can try it again on one of the next two weekends with Twelve and whoever else wants to and can play again that other weekend. 23/24 and 30/1 don't seem to work for everybody any better than 17th.

[Khellendros]

17th would work for me I think.

Our time changed last Saturday. So right now it would normally have been 16:40. It freaks me out

[twelve]

Well if I'm out I'm out. I can probably still pop on from time to time to talk smack/give advice depending on what honey do lists I have to accomplish that day.

[twelve]

And who else agrees that Day Light Savings time is totally and completely idiotic. Keep the time set and leave it alone!!! Hate it!!

So Khell, you were talking alliance before. I didn't reply then from uncertainty and I'm still weighing my options. I guess the magic question is what's in it for me? My position doesn't look to be very strong at the moment and the only way out is through you, and for now you have better ships plus better materials production. The safety of an alliance is all well and good, but in this position I'm not going to contributing much in the VP department now am I, meaning you'll probably be better off betraying me and attacking me around round 6 than having my low VP score at the end of the game drag down the alliance average.

I only see any value in the alliance for me if I think you see value in it, too. So are you willing to help that be the case? Maybe un-influence Delta Eridani next round so I can take it and actually get somewhere?

From round 4, you will have wormhole generators and go wherever the wind takes you. And even with just the alliance, you can safely go through my territories to wherever else. I think if we formed an alliance before round 4, then we could use up/save up our resources more efficiently without having to look over our shoulders at each other. Both of our races have potential to be strong end-game if we manage to avoid conflict - imagine what our two races together could do having made it safely through the first 6 rounds or so of the game.


If it takes Delta Eridani to make you feel better about an alliance, I'll think about it, but I may need something in return.

He did. It was back several pages ago, in green, IIRC.

I like having that extra hour in bed. That extra hour so cruelly snatched away in another part of the year.

Wormhole generators in round 4 aren't going to do me much good when I've accumulated a total of 9 science and 10 materials by that point. What am I going to do, send two Cruisers with nothing but improved hulls upgraded at yours or Tatts' homeworld? By round 4 either of you will have the tech and materials to withstand that, and I won't be able to rebuild those ships until round 6. So really my only choice will be instead to build orbitals, but I'd have to put all my science and materials into them and again then I'm not much threat.

Even the +2 science from Delta Eridani would be a big enough help, with that I'd be able to get 1 or 2 other tech *and* orbitals, or get to advanced labs quicker. Hopefully though, I could also exchange ambassadors with Tapper and get another small boost. Enough to actually have a chance at ending the game with a reasonable amount of VP, and maybe even enough to make some raids on Tatts.

Or I can be the scrappy little sister in the corner that can't help at all in points or in battle when shit winds up hitting the fan.

What do the magellans and earthlings make of the hex occupied by two ancients in tier 1. The mechanema seek expansion to the neighbouring hex, diplomatic relations, at the least, and potentially a future alliance with the person who holds that hex would only be logical.
