First note: Thanks for all the collection and summary.


Second not: all of the provisionals are wonderful.

Third. We are still very much on turn 3 waiting for Tapper. All actions for turns 4-13 are provisionals. That is simply too much work for me to put that all on a map and then have to undo it.

Turn 3 Upgrade 2 x Improved hull over hull on dreadnought and positron computer in blank space on interceptor

Turn 4 Pass

Turn 5 Reaction move dreadnought to hive hex

Upkeep -5 £1 S:5 M:4

Unless Tapper does something off the wall, but I think I'll be sticking with this regardless

Any particular reason for the pass? It gains you nothing but costs you flexibility

Gnaw on that quick map update I noticed that one of my advanced material planets weren't colonized. I have access currently to three and pre-upkeep round three my production is 15 materials but drops to 12 as I'm forced to bankrupt a hex in bankruptcy.

You'll notice on that map that you have a magic floating cube on your homeworld. fixed now.

So tatts can get his dread into the hive before me.

@Gnaw make sure you move that interceptor from by the hive hex into the centre. Let's make them sweat a little, if we get lucky with missiles they should at least lose a few interceptors. It's a shame you made the mistake earlier in the turn, and did two influences instead of one, we could maybe have thrown in more to stop them

If you guys made an actual effort early in the turn we would have just not entered the GC this round and let your ships die horribly, probably attacking Arcturuus instead, and then take the GC next round!

I'm still not convinced that tapper isn't coming for Aldebaran this turn.

Edit: Arcturus

[Gnaw]

IH, since you're still here: should I build 2 interceptors in Aldebaran or a single cruiser? Or not build until I see their ships actually entering my space?

Edit: Arcturus, not Aldebaran.

@Twelve Speaking for myself only, I'm content to leave you be for a while. I made the "let's kill the hive" proposal based upon needing to clear a route for Tatts and IH to come to each others support.

It's not you I'm worried about as you have problems elsewhere. It's IH and Tatts with Dreads right next door and IH saying let's take twelve homeworld next round that I have issues with.

Did tapper leave a "sorry, I won't be around" message? No biggie anyway. I can wait..................

Remember that the ancients in your way will be resolved first, meaning your retreat won't be blocked provided you win the fight.

Damn. a summary of summaries.

[twelve]

You forgot Morgoth's turn four where he moves his interceptor as well.

[Imperial Historian]

I'd hold off on building anything in Arcturus until someone attacks it. I'd probably build interceptors since you don't have any upgrades on your cruisers. Or upgrade your cruiser with missiles and build it. I think 3 interceptors firing 12 missiles, and retreating leaving those ancients behind is more of a deterrent than a cruiser and an non-upgraded interceptor though. I don't know how many moves you have left, saving those materials to potentially build starbases is going to be better long term though.

@Gnaw,


You put my starbases in the wrong sector. They should be in Formahaut , north of my homeworld.
@Morgoth,

Fixed. Anyone have a comment for or against the starbases as I've done them?

Crap! I never even noticed that. What were you thinking!!!!! I gave you the perfect opportunity to wall off your access to me entirely and you didn't do it.

Oh well. Now you are in a perfect position to F the other side but because of that earlier round oversighy you have to settle with the, I have to admit, honorable position to finally put the hurt on yours truly. But I'm not beaten yet. Let's see what tech I can get my hands on that might save my ass.

I can't believe I wasn't either the first or second person to pass last round. I have the worse economic situation of everyone and I'm the third person to pass?

Because of all this reaction nonsense. Team Doofus over there are desperate to go first next round.

Yeah an alliance of Gnaw and Tatts the two players that were near the bottom of the points pool last place as allies should make for a very interesting team this game. Can IH keep them in line or will he have suffered an epic blunder by allying with those two? Only time will tell.

Well, at least you've stopped whining about how badly you're fucked. That's an improvement.

That's my thought also. So far there is not a single ship in the GC. From where I'm sitting it's all bluff.

I'm trying to be optimistic. I'm not fucked just yet. I'm crossing my fingers that something useful comes my way. Also I'm trying to formulate a plan B if the vultures come circling my way. Cloaking devices can come in handy

[D'rek]

At this point, what is Gnaw's resources and upkeep like? I can't follow all the influences and de-influences.
