And I'm not leaving. Unless Morgoth and CF make it worthwhile.

[Gnaw]

But I'm tired of dicking around

I thought you couldn't take an alliance token if you already had another, and even if you betray an alliance you will still have one alliance token

The way I learned it was that {a} you can't get rid of an alliance token, only flip it, and {b} you can only have one alliance token face up at a time.

I have been away all weekend. That flu I mentioned that my daughter caught back on Thursday....well we all got it. Stuff flying out of everywhere for 2 days straight. I feel hungover now but am noticeably on the mend.

Gnaw, you are to ship-jumpey for the likes of the Flare alliance. Your alliance is hardly in hot water, and yet you are seeking to join ours?

[cerveza_fiesta]

also, pass until end of round unless something obvious happens that would make that a bad choice...i"m going to bed.

Wasn't asking. Just floating the options. I'm spread thin. I'm going to have to contract soon I fear.

What I'm afraid of is now that I've brought it up, Tapper might start thinking of it.

[Gnaw]

The other thing is if I did jump, Twelve would get let off the hook.

As you are not involved in the pinch on me I doubt anything you did would get me off the hook.

  • @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.

Note: I have an appointment with a physiatrist tomorrow morning. Hour and a half travel time each way and was told to expect a two hour visit. The hospital/clinic I'm going to does have wifi but I'm not able to take my laptop. So no chance of resolution before late afternoon UTC -5.

Late afternoon UTC - 5. Hmm, by my reasoning that means around 4pm his time, that is late afternoon, not yet evening. So that would be 9pm my time here. So at the very least if we could all get actions in we could end the round tonight?

[Tattersail_]

Turn 5

• Morgoth - Not passed yet
• Tapper - Not passed yet
• Khell - Not passed yet
• D'rek - passed turn 4. Reaction?

[Morgoth]

So you moved your dread, eh?

I'll have to think for a little.

I am no where near you, our territories are across the board from each other

[Morgoth]

Actually, I think I will

Upgrade - Add improved hull over hull on cruiser, add improved hull over empty slot on starbase.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Still seems not to be much happening that would cause me to do a reaction. Continue passing

[Khellendros]

D'rek, Tapper, shall we discuss the master plan which I am about to initiate and which will seal our victory/doom/make no difference?
