Tatts since it's officially my turn: Alliance?

Orion, Draco, & Mechanema? Since Twelve is persistent in turtling.

What did we say about Alliances? I am definitely keen. That is why I have opted not to attack the ancient.

Fine, I will take them out in a later turn. I have a very good plan in place at the moment, that lasts 4 rounds. From there I will have to figure out what to do but my plan is great I think.

[Gnaw]

Hmm. IH are you interested?

*shrug* in that case I'll probably run an interceptor over there. I can use the planets until you want to take them out.

Orion, the Descendants of Draco offer formal Alliance

"Captain Ryan, reports have come back though the Galactic council. Chmee Gnaw has offered you an alliance. What do you say?"

Accept.

When I do take them out after you did something like this would I still get the discovery?

Also I have two ships in the hex next to it.

The AI minds return from after a few 100 megaseconds, contemplating the wonders of quantum leaps to find the galaxy much changed. Word reaches through the ether of races not yet met uniting in alliance. Diplomatic relations forged now seem set to have far reaching consequences for the races of the galaxy.

The impudent descendents of the ancients, after promising friendship have reached through and claimed territories rightfully ours, war is urged upon the consensus with a great ship constructed ready to lay waste to the fragile forces ranged against it. The mechanema need no allies amongst the flesh peoples.

Wiser heads urge rapproachment, perhaps agreement can be reached between our peoples, though agreement must inevitably depend on the descendents surrendering some of there ancient cousins to allow the mechanema to expand and agreement of the hegemony. The mechanema minds also express confusion at the actions of both descendents and orion, they are unsure how the two expect to match the victory potential of the planta and lyra with the talk of peace. For one to become strong, some must fall underneath.

[Gnaw]

IH, two dreads and 3 interceptors. We could take the center this round.

Your interceptor and Tatt's cruiser take out the ancient in Mu Cassiopiea.

Both your dreads in the center. I put 3 interceptors in for ancient target practice.

Members of an alliance can fly through each other's territories. no pinning.

When you beat the ancients, I'll pull my disc. You place yours getting the discovery.

Out of roleplay:

Seriously WTF are you guys doing? I thought this was all some grand plan of betrayal by Tatts, but apparently I'm wrong since he accepted the alliance. I'd be interested in an alliance if I thought it had some chance of winning, but I'm not sure I'm not going to have a better chance on my own. How on earth are you planning to get any points if you aren't taking hexes to build up your military tats? Your not going to be able to hang on to that supernova hex for long with orion (or not with certainty enough to build a solid plan around it). Gnaw it's all very well grabbing all the ancient hexes, but your ships are just going to get crushed in any sort of encounter without some serious upgrades.

Convince me there is some sort of plan here please, otherwise I'm probably going to have to resort to bombing Gnaw back into the stoneage.

Yes, I think Gnaw would have to remove from one of those hexes, Delta Corvi I think. Gnaw I don't think Alliances work like that.

I've said 3 times that I'm just passing through. You'll notice I didn't colonize the planet.

I don't want to give the long game away but give me some credit. I plan very good production. Gnaw can remove to let me come through one way or I grab the wormhole generator and go other ways. Gnaw defends his ancients and you go for the center. I haven't planned past the first 4 rounds.

[Gnaw]

Orion, Draco, and Mechanema.

Exiles.

D'rekhelper.

Morgoth and CF.

Twelve.


I don't care about surviving ancients. You and Tatts can have the things. I'll use them for production until either of you decide to do so.

We can hold the center. Take out CF and Morgoth before they get too dangerous. Take out twelve at our liesure.

Then it's us against them.

[Gnaw]

Tatts, what do you say ref IH?

The other option is he's going to join Morgy and CF.

[D'rek]

I love how you guys can make this big elaborate plans and believe that you'll somehow manage to get all the way through them successfully without any of the rest of us messing them up!

No plan survives first contact with the enemy.


We're all dancing to Tapper's tune. He started the explore domino. Now he's pushed the alliance domino.

I know right.

I've been doing a lot of this





while reading the last couple of pages.

You guys are great. Keep up the good work.
