So did you guys organize that novaburst play off thread? I don't remember it being mentioned. Just wondering if the consensus was to allow that. I know Morgoth was against, but I don't recall an official word from anyone

As the mod I'll do whatever the consensus is. If that conversation with Tatts is considered planning tell me what punishment you'd like handed out.


I've been put off until 3ish, so I'm going to rebuild the SVG file and get a pre-combat board posted.

[Morgoth]

Three rounds of spanking should be enough I reckon. Administered by twelve.

[Imperial Historian]

Personally I'd prefer off thread communication but so far I've been avoiding it. I knew gnaw had nova burst, but was trying to avoid mentioning it and making sure he had a ship in the GC. I was pretty sure gnaw was of the same mindset, but was misdirecting as much as possible whilst encouraging the interceptor move. If he had started doing something different i woukd have said something on thread. Also I'm pretty sure that interceptor was the best play over a cruiser gnaw, it was a brilliant move don't try to make it better .

Its condition 2, GC fires twice. You may as well retreat though as its Max 5 rep tiles per hex, so staying gains you nothing whilst retreating gives slim chance of survival.

That alone proves we didn't plan this.

The cruiser with +2 computers and 4 missiles vs GCDS with 4/5 health. 2 hits kills it.

[D'rek]

Gnaw has nova burst?

[Imperial Historian]

Well 1. The gcds has 5 health nova burst only damages ships in that battle, not that hex as far as I know. 2. You would have scared them away and 3. Having the gcds stopping attacks through the gcds is an advantage for us at the moment, you be stretched thin if you had to defend gcds and arcturus.

Heh I wish I could have seen your face when you realised that. I thought for a while you knew and it was all misdirection, but then you went for it hook line and sinker, I was doing my utmost to distract you all so you didn't see he had nova burst. I was sure you'd realise (or twelve would and spill the beans) before he pulled it off. I have so many bullshit explanations prepared for my moves.

I think you guys vastly overestimate how much attention I really pay. As soon as it became apparent that I was not going to be getting any discoveries myself, I stopped paying any attention to who was getting which ones

You're right. I thought it was one point to every ship in the hex. *shrug*

I've discovered that Twelve and IH are the only ones of us that pays attention. The only reason I do is because I make the maps.

Rep tiles are per hex, not per battle I think. So you still only get 5 to choose and then keep one.

The cruiser sounds like the better option at this point. go for that.

Also, I settle both available money planets and the materials planet. leaving me with the following upkeep:

Round 3

$ 0 / +15
S 2 / + 8
M 3 / +4

Upkeep - 13

$ - 2
S - 10
M - 7
