• (1$, 0S, 2M Upkeep-5)
• Exchange Ambassadors with IH. Both send monetary gifts.

Imperial Historian

• So upgrade cruiser with 2 improved hull over electron computer and in the blank space, and one positron computer over the hull.
• Upkeep -3 £0 S0 M9

Morgoth provisional Upgrade - Add fusion source and fusion drive to cruiser

CF - Upgrade starbases - Imp hull on blank spot and imp. hull over one regular hull.

Tapper - Influence.

• Flip a colony ship for 1 science. Remove disc from Aldebaran. Turn that colony ship face-up.
• Gnaw, I think you removed the money cube on Aldebaran to the material track instead? Fixed

Khell - INFLUENCE

• Epsilon Carinae and Lambda Serpentis. Colonise all planets (grey planet with science cube). Reveal the discovery.
• So what wondrous creation do I get this time, GC? A clapped-out interceptor? A tech I already possess maybe? Oh, a piece of lint from your pocket perhaps?
  
• Discovery is Free Ancient Cruiser 02. He keeps as cruiser.
  

D'rek - Provisional: Research Advanced Mining (-9 science)

Twelve - Provisional Influence

No I will have one adv material slot not populated. Don't populate 304 with an influence disk and colonize the adv material slot and I'll be good.

• -remove influence disk on supernova
• -return all three population cubes to materials
• reset 2 colony ships 3 ships available.

  • @Rules:
  • Not that I have anything to do with an extra colony ship just now, but does the above constitute a use of 2 or 3 colony ships? In other words, does building an orbital require a colony ship to populate it or does it populate by default? Has to be populated
    
• I should add that my provisional move is incumbent on no aggressive action or posturing taken against me or my ally.

Tapper

• I think the money cube from Aldebaran was moved to materials, instead.
• fixed
  

• Research Positron Computer and flip 3 colonyships for science, please - it should come with a discount of -3, and +3 science gained --> 10 - 5 + 3 = 8.
• That also gives me a discovery tile, please - any ships/orbitals/warp portals et cetera are deployed in my homeworld should I keep them.

Wait what, how come you are on -17 upkeep? I don't necessarily think that attacking tapper is a bad idea, but it is a terrible idea if you can't afford the upkeep.

I moved a disc for the move action, moved the ships, then moved another action disc. doh

Hmmmmm, I don't think I can resist. Sorry twelve, you know when I said I couldn't promise not to attack your homeworld... well that counts double when it is virtually undefended. And you've passed. Really it's far too good an opportunity to pass up. Tatts maybe you should react and move your dread to 310? or the supernova, but i think 310 is better and there is always the chance the supernova will blow up....

So move 2 x crusiers into twelves homeworld Upkeep -7 £0 S0 M1

Return the diplomatic relations cube to the materials track, take the traitor card

Well my main goal with diplomatic relations was to eventually shift some of my production to money. You leaving your homeworld undefended made me accelerate things, especially since you got into the position to be able to grab gluon computers. Taking your homeworld next turn would have been much much harder.

Tatts, I'd much rather exchange ambassadors with you after you get the discovery tile from Vega. That will leave you able to move on to deal with D'rek and the Center. IH can easily deal with me without your help.

You won't be able to exchange ambassadors, you will be eliminated from your homeworld before tatts could take vega (vegas 204, your homeworld is 23 something) Maybe you can exchange ambasadors after tatts has taken 310?

@ tatts it will actually be quite difficult for me to take twelves hexes as they are to far away for me to move my ships to comfortably, I'm going to be happy doing just enough to reduce the threat level of twelve a notch, and then move on the centre. It's going to be interesting if twelve doesn't get neutron bombs though...

At this point I have to grab it if I want to have any hope of living to the end. Wait for the supernova to blow and then I'll be trapped on the far side of the supernova.

Yeah the supernova blowing or not blowing is going to play a key role in whether you survive.

Also I think you jinxed yourself earlier when you said +4 points this round... you might not lose any if you get good vp draws i guess...

Hi sorry not to post or confirm that provisional, but consider it officially confirmed now.

Found out the hard way (and I'll let your mind take you where it doesn't want to go) that my daughter got her first stomach flu today. It sucked, and I am only just now able to sit down at the computer. Holy shit...at least things are going swimmingly in Eclipse still.

I'll put in a provisional pass I guess. I have nothing to do that can't be done on a reaction, really.
