And Tapper you must be on your phone as well. You have a pm.

Off thread comms?

I joke, he received my PM about confirming provisional. So maybe he doesn;t like you as much?

I hope not. It will make for one awkward visit this March otherwise.

Ha ha. I am visiting him in March too with Khell, maybe we could have a board game night?

I am? Why am I never told anything! I hate it when you make decisions without informing me first Tatts, it's like you don't appreciate or respect me at all!

Seriously? When? That would be great to meet you guys.

The airfare hasn't been purchased yet but it's looking very strong that I will be flying east on the 8th and returning on the 21st. I'm trying to get a long layover in Amsterdam but I'm not sure how it will work out. Final destination is Israell

Well it sounds like we can make an impromptu meet up for a few hours especially if Tatts and Khell just happen to be there the same time as I. How hard will it to be to schedule a Friday or Saturday for a road trip some 4 months in advance?

[Khellendros]

As cool as that would be, unfortunately Tatts is yanking your chain (at least about me). I'll be in Germany in March, so if you want to take an impromptu road trip that way...

I'm thinking I'll have 12 hours max and some of that time will have to be spent going back through customs at the airport so I think a long road trip would be out.

Are you sure about that? I may be able to prevent it. How much will the artifact link help him? He will only have 2 now once you take those hexes. IH do you think Khell is royally screwed? I may have done something about his sneaky build that I could see a mile away.

Took a look at it and I have to say putting a background will be needed. It's too hard to read without one. I use the grey skin to view the forum. Also for some reason the default orbital on the exile's homeworld doesn't show up on the map either.

The default orbital isn't there because i didn't add it.

How's this work:

This looks fantastic Gnaw. Really good!

The grey is a nice background colour. Makes the dark black lines and lettering not quite so high-contrast and it is easy on the eyes.

EDIT - apparently the picture doesn't get added in quotes. I'm referring to the simplified board layout he posted a page or 2 back.

Yep,

My Mom is having some issues with it as she raised us Roman Catholic but after having her daughter and one of her sons get divorced and remarried I think she is finally slowly coming around to the fact that her kids are going to do what they want not what she expects them to do based on her faith.

Thanks. I've saved each hex in its own svg file for easy re-use. It dropped the size of the game file by 10%.

I won't get it done today but I'm going to get all this uploaded onto my server so you and anyone else can copy it. Redundancy
