Just get the impression you'd like things to speed up, along with a few others, but when we're playing across multiple timezones not much we can do.

I agree.

However, if I was actively seeking to speed things up the moment Khell passed and Tapper posted his provisional I would have made my reaction move and called end of action phase.

I don't see it as a problem, really. Just don't get too hung up on it.

If there's something you know is going to be an absolute round-breaker without perfect coordination between you and your allies, then yeah wait....but unless we're talking Round 8 or 9, you probably can just go and fix any screwups as you go.

That's why I'm waiting on Tapper to confirm. Although D'rek passed knowing that she was likely to get invaded I think it's only right that Tapper get the opportunity to retract the pass so that D'rek can defend her hex.

I pass. It sucks for D'rek but if I burn discs to intercept you, you might burn more discs to avoid me some more. Right now, you're mostly a contained problem (but a problem nonetheless).

If you're still up for an ambassadorial exchange, so am I (dropping the combat tile).
I'll go for a science cube.

Gnaw why are you doing the rep draws in reverse order?

You haven't even completed mine and Tatts battle in 310 yet you have drawn 2 rep tiles for battles that should by the rules happen after those as they are closer to the center.

Those odds can't be right. He had inititive and he hit at a 17% better rate than I did. Our HPs were the exactly the same. My odds had to be better than 10%. I'd say in the 25-30 range sounds more reasonable. But either way I was a big underdog. This is what Tatts must feel like when he stunned D'rek in game 2.

Remember this day, twelve. This is the start of your glorious march to victory.

So Morgoth interested in doing a pinch on IH? D'rek can you keep Tatts occupied up North? Attack the Axis alliance on three Fronts and they should crumble under the pressure. That is of course the supernova doesn't blow on me. Otherwise I'll just be on my own private galactic island.

Yeah, that was said a bit tongue-in-cheek. It would take a suspicious amount of luck to win that one, unfortunately.
