Sorry about not doing upkeep stuff, I'm unable to see the player boards image from my ipad for some reason (I can see the map one fine - though not the high-res one).

Ah, sweet, blissful space coffee. When you get a tumultuous week like this one has been, it becomes a basic necessity for survival. The galaxy is heating up, isolated races are expanding and making all sorts of pacts and overtures. The future is so uncertain, and that means more work for me. The double shifts have paid off though. I never would've thought a month ago that this week I'd be reporting complete success on a project to-
-develop a new pico-material with double the blast resistance of-
-establish trade routes to a space-faring plant species-
-use psi-analytics to predict and avoid contact with the hegemonics-
-exploring through mysterious wormholes into a Pulsar system. Sheesh, and that was only the first half of the week. After that success, now I have to go through another one? Why is it always me?

I've got the "gnaw" browser closed.

I will not be taking an action until I see what Tatts does with that.


Switching computers. Be back up in 15 minutes or less.

I was thinking of running a chataclipse game now I have some free time and my thesis is in. Don't know whether we'd be able to run it all in one session, but I was thinking do a 6 player, with everyone around at the same time for at least the start, and run it like a forum game, but with set times where everyone is around so we can zoom through some rounds. 16th and 17th work for me.

That weekend works best for me.

Are you planning on going bat shit crazy again?

You've walled yourself off from everyone but me.

That leaves you with "attack" or "alliance". Which are you planning?

[Tattersail_]

I didnt plan on being walled off just like drek didnt plan on it. I should he able to connect to her too. Im not feeling treacherous. I cannot say though. I could gave taken your homeworld this round though. I decided against it.

Eclipse Expansion Rules page 12:

Rule for hex exploration:

Sectors I and II:

Once 6 and 12 hexes have been drawn the remaining 2 hexes of each sector are eliminated from the game and discards will become the new draw pile. (With Draco in the game there is guaranteed to be at least discard in Sector II.)

Discards:

• 212 Lambda Fornacis

Sector III:

The oh so clever D'rek has figured out a way to draw specific hexes without anyone knowing what those hexes are until each has been explored during the game. Two factor security. (A modification of Double Blind medical trials?) Nobody knows what hexes are "put back in the box", so no one will know which hexes are not in the game either. Her solution solves all issues with table-top to forum translation.

There will be 24 specific sector III tiles available in the game. Discards are set aside and are shuffled back into a new draw pile once the original pile is depleted.


The selection process:

• D'rek
  • generates a code for each of the 31 Sector III tiles in the game.
  • creates a text file for each of the tiles that contains the hex number and name. The text file is named according to the code she devises.
  • She sends me all 31 text files.
• Modgod
  • will use random.org to select 24 specific codes from her list.
  • when a hex is explored, the modgod spins the wheel for that sector and selects the top code.
  • I open the corresponding text file to find out what the hex number is.
  • reveal the code and hex number to the thread.
• Security
  • D'rek knows the code and which hex it corresponds to but does not know which codes were selected for use.
  • I know which codes are in use, but not the hexes they correspond to. I think I'll probably put each txt file into its own folder as added insurance against opening the wrong text file by mistake.

This Tier I exploration ruling stands.

There are 2 unexplored hexes in Tier 1.

Currently there are three tiles in the draw pil; 101, 103, 106. One tile in the discard pile; 104

The next Tier I explore will be picked randomly from the draw pile. The remaining tiles are removed from the game and the discard pile becomes the new draw pile.

Lambast away.

[D'rek]

I ran through the streets, heralding the woeful news. Hearing the cries from the street, I quickly turned on the gevuprompter. In the studio, my hands flicked and turned despairingly as I informed the populace of events unfolding in space.

Turning my Nimfolit-class scout ship away from the beautiful vortex, I steered back into the wormhole to Geminga. As the Pulsar's light filled my viewscreen, psi-drones bearing heavy cargo containers flew past into the wormhole. I turned the ship around to watch, and moments later was sole witness to the turquoise flashes of liozinium implosions, followed by the collapse of the wormhole itself.

Discard Beta Sextantis.
