So attack Khell or attack twelve?

Or both, with tatts attacking Khell, and me attacking twelve?

[Tattersail_]

Okay if I am going up against khell I'll move both ships against him. I thought about spreading then out but I may as well make sure I come out on top.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I've gotta say, I really like all these plans that involve attacking the other players and not us.

[Gnaw]

Twelve is going to be a problem. I think putting a ship over there is worth the effort.

I was planning on putting an interceptor in IH's homeworld and Khell's homeworld.

I'm hoping that Tapper decides to do something about you. But it's a forlorn hope I'm sure.

I've got no ships and no money. How am I going to be a problem? Plus I'm going to lose a bunch of resources due to a hex spontaneously combusting thus sticking me behind this huge black void with nothing else to do but suck my thumb and cry for my mommy.

How general


I too would like to move unspecified ships from an unspecified location to a likewise unspecified destination to annihilate an arbitrary enemy. GC, please record

[Khellendros]

And poor Tatts, he worked so hard on his attack the GC plan, probably shivered in anticipation over its reveal for the last 4 days, only to be shot down so casually by his allies.

[twelve]

Sounds like I should make preparations for an attack but I'm sure if I did make said preparations that impending attack wouldn't happen thus hurting me more next round with precious lost resources so therefore I shouldn't make preperations for an attack thus inviting an attack which will cost me precious resources thus I should make ........


Looks like I lose either way

Pass

Vote Twelve

[Imperial Historian]

Gnaw, if I move a cruiser to 105, do you think you can do an influence action (probably will need to be first turn so morgoth can't move in) to vacate it, so I can claim it and build starbases and guard against morgoth?

You can claim the other two warp portal hexes (and presumably my homeworld), or I can vacate one of my hexes for you to claim.

Or I can kill ancient and you claim the tile for vp? Either way I think one of us needs to remove the discovery tile so morgoth isn't tempted to claim it.

It's the only thing I can think to do with my spare move if I attack twelve.

[Gnaw]

De-influence this round or next?

[Imperial Historian]

Next round I was thinking

[Gnaw]

Ah. Okey, yeah that's fine.

We probably made a mistake in going with 108 instead of 105 this round. *shrug*

Ok

MOVE cruiser from 101 to 105 and move cruiser from twelves ex-homeworld to 304.

Hmmm considering my initial plan for this round, was sit tight and beat up Khell...

I've now moved all my ships, and am largely leaving khell alone, how plans change!

See the mechanema show their strength! By beating on our allies ancients chums... um... well they were annoying anyway.

Yeah i was surprised when you vacated 108, as I didn't really want to move there. Ah well
