I believe it's the top option.

Gnaw before you bankrupt a hex to meet upkeep we should decide on a plan for the round.

I have limited moves, but can hit twelves homeworld, either of the ancients by the GC or any combination of the above (but will probably not be able to influence them).

Alternatively I could grab advanced mining, and ramp up the production, but then my attacking options are more limited.

Tatts I think you should grab advanced econ if it's available, otherwise advanced labs, advanced robotics or improved hull would be good techs to grab.

Have you done your upkeep? i'm struggling to keep track of how many moves you can do, but I think it is three right (and obviously a lot more if you get advanced econ)? If d'rek attacks you may be occupied defending. What are you thinking in terms of expansion? I can probably help you take out an ancient, or take twelves homeworld if you get a ship there.

Gnaw I think you need to concentrate on upgrading and laying down some troop to defend arcturus/keep the GC unoccupied/ready to take the GC later. Again I don't know what your move options are, but we could try and get you into twelves homeworld if you wanted.

I'd like to keep twelve contained on the other side of the hive if at all possible, as it will be a pain to deal with his ships if he gets them behind our lines.

So given that, what do you reckon is the best hex to deinfluence? There isn't really a hex we are definitely going to take next round, so maybe it's best to deinfluence vega, as it contributes least?

A plan??
We don't need no stinking plan!



Edit. Just got home. I'll give a real answer in a bit.

The real answer is I'm not sure.

Vega or Chi Draconus.

Morgoth's choice of free cruiser over VP is worrying as I'm sure he knew it would be. Twelve or Morgoth with a wormhole generator and we have problems. Rather large ones.

All these wonderful walls are about to come tumbling down I fear.

The "let's hit Twelve before he can get out" ship sailed. He has 20 mats. And neutron bombs if rotation is counter-clockwise.

Who was the first to pass?

Tatts

[Khellendros]

I was going to do my upkeep but none of the images are showing when I click on 'show'. Not even the question mark, it's just empty?

Anyways, from memory, I think it goes something like this:

Money:

Current Amount: 0
Income: 10
Upkeep: -13
BANKRUPT!

DE-INFLUENCE MY HEX WITH ONE GREY PLANET ON IT - RETURN CUBE TO MATERIALS TRACK.

New Upkeep: -10
New Amount: 0

Science:

Current Amount: 4
Income: 4
New Amount: 8

Materials:

Current Amount: 10
Income: 3
New Amount: 13

Diplo IH burn an extra cube??

[Imperial Historian]

I'd rather not do diplo tatts as I think we will need those slots for VP. Is an extra cube that important?

EDIT: If you really need the extra cube I can exchange diplomats, but it means we are stuck with those diplomats for the rest of the game

added a playerboard pic to the front page.

I'm sorry, I should have done that last night.

Round 3 Rep Draw
302

http://orokos.com/roll/148462#
Description
r3 302 Morgoth rep draw. 2 tiles. 27 available
Results
1#1d27: 1 # 1 [1d27=1]
1#1d26: 1 # 16 [1d26=16]

A one and a two. Keep the two?



I looked at the rules and I think I've been doing something else incorrectly.

Quote

You may not draw more than five tiles. Choose one of the tiles and place it face down on your Reputation Track. Put the rest of the tiles back in the bag. If the track is full, you may return any of your Reputation Tiles (including the oneyou just drew or one from the track) in the bag. The tiles are drawn in the order the players entered the hex, so that the player who first entered the hex will draw all his tiles first.

I've been drawing a player's tiles, picking one, putting those tiles back in the 'bag' and then moving to the next player in the battle.

So for 212:

26 tiles available. IH draws 4 tiles and takes one.
25 tiles available. Tatts takes 1.

It should be:

26 tiles available. IH draws 4.
22 tiles available. Tatts draws 1.

Which is correct?

Question I asked earlier: Can you move ambassadors around on your playerboard?

In specific: There are 3 of us with 3 ambassadors. If one of us were to acquire the Diplomatic Fleet development can we move an ambassador from the player board on to the Fleet?

[D'rek]

Upkeep:

Build a shrine for 2 money in beta lyrae.

money = 2 + 8 -10 = 0
science = 0 + 12 = 12
materials = 1 + 3 = 4

I've always played with the first rule. That interpretation makes more sense to me.

Thank you.
I'm on my iPad at a friend's house. If D'rek wants to do the rep draws I'd appreciate it. But no real need since we're waiting on upkeeps still.

Side note: I read some mafia spoilers last night. I had no idea that so many of you want me dead. We need an altless game.

Gnaw my income should be 15 6 4.

Gnaw there should be a positron computer on my interceptor. And I'm going to take the muon source as vp. Don't hate me!

Sorry I didn't get this in, forgot that I didn't do it yet.

Directorate Upkeep


Money 3-7+10=6
Science 0+8=8
Material 0+6=6

Turn order


I havent' gotten much input from my partner, but it is 5 moves to either myself or him, so direction is largely irrelevant for me. Probably best not to give the directly adjacent alliance their choice of new techs, so COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

I'm under the Impression that the tech draw might change.
