.....so I don't think it would be that long.

I think we have said this about all the 6mo. long games so far...haha.

[D'rek]

Yeah, I don't think game #5 is going particularly fast so far, Khell, at least not compared to game 4 when it was add its fastest.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you!

[Morgoth]

Yeah, I'm all up for continuing the game.

Ha

Because you likely will win of course. Though D'rek has a good shot of surprising everyone when she ditches Khell and Tapper while crushing Tatts under her boots.

[Imperial Historian]

I could come back for this game, but my internet access may be sporadic. So far though I generally am finding internet at least a few times a week, so I don't think I'd delay things to much, though i guess coordinating alliance plans on thread may be beyond me.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I will play for sure, but unfortunately somebody else is going to have to step up to the plate this time for modding. i really don't have any spare time at the moment.

[Gnaw]

The physiatrist (sp?) did another nerve conduction study and has decided that my left arm should have surgery first. That means that I could mod this one from now until 6-8 weeks after Friday. That being the recovery period for the left arm.

*shrug*

[cerveza_fiesta]

I'm in.

glad to hear you can get things fixed up with surgery and not have to deal with the continuous anxiety anymore. And if you want to try to mod one-handed while you recover, we'd all forgive infrequent board updates for sure!

[Tattersail_]

Yeah if you can bring us back up to date that'd be great.

[twelve]

I third the motion.

Khellendros, on 29 January 2014 - 07:46 PM, said:

Ok, so your upkeep Venge looks like this:

15 money - 21 upkeep = -6 money = BANKRUPT!

Uninfluence Vega, and return cube to science track. Exchange 6 materials for 2 money. New upkeep:

17 money - 17 upkeep = 0 money.

2 science + 2 science in bank = 4 science.

18 materials + 3 materials in bank = 21 materials.


So Round 7 you will start with $0, 4S, 21M.

Morgoth, on 30 January 2014 - 07:34 AM, said:

So, this is tech for the new round, yes?

Monolith

2.Antimatter Cannon
3.Gauss Shield
4.Advanced Labs

Hm, I don't see my plans changing I don't think.

Tapper, on 30 January 2014 - 07:49 AM, said:

-13 upkeep, 15 income, 0 banked = 2 money.
6 science, 0 banked = 6 science.

Khellendros, on 27 January 2014 - 10:44 AM, said:

UPKEEP:

Money: 15 + 4 - 30 = -11

BANKRUPT!

De-influence Pollux, Epsilon Carinae, and Lambda Serpentis. Return 2 Science cubes, 1 Materials, and 1 Grey (place on Materials track).

New Money Upkeep: 15 + 4 - 17 = 2

Talk about the costs of war!

When did Grievance go and accept diplomatic relations with Tatts? I don't remember them doing that. Discarding two points for one and now passing up on another point because they couldn't take a three tile. As for the battle of 304; losing a Dread was about a coinflip but even still it will make the next round or two quite a bit more challenging.

Do not influence 304 after battle:

Upkeep:

-25+18 income+5 banked= -2
Bankrupt Supernova hex 391 return 2 grey cubes to materials
-21+18 income +5 banked= 2 banked

Science = 0 income + 0 banked = 0 Science
Materials= 2 income +2 banked= 4 Materials

Round 7 Starting Values (2$/0S/4M Upkeep -0)
Round 6 VP total: 17 (2 hexes, 5 tech, 8 Rep tiles, 0 Diplomacy tile, 0 Discovery tile, 2 Race bonus)

I did not accept Tatts offer of Diplo as much as I appreciated the gesture.

I am glancing at the thread. I have to go back and take a look at my notes from IH to see what I am suppose to Bankrupt or what not for the what ever the fuck you guys are doing in which ever round this is...

Re-done reputation draws

In bag = 10 ones, 5 twos, 6 threes

On player boards:

Khell - [4] [4]
Gnaw - [4]
Twelve - [2] [3] [ ] [ ]
D'rek - [1] [2]
CF - [ ] [ ] [ ]
Morgoth - [2] [3] [4]
Ve/Gr - [2] [3] [4]
Tapper - [ ] [4]
Tatts - [1] [1] [2] [3]




hex 305:


(D) Khell - draw 5 == 3 2 3 1 1 == do nothing
(1) Tatts - draw 4 == 1 1 3 2 == keep a 3, put back a 1
(2) Gnaw - draw 2 == 2 3 == do nothing
(3) Ve/Gr - draw 3 == 3 2 2 == keep a 3, put back a 2

---

hex 304:

(D) Ve/Gr - draw 4 == 3 3 2 2 == do nothing
(1) Twelve - draw 5 == 1 1 1 2 3 == keep a 3

---

hex 239:

(D) Tapper - draw 4 == 1 1 2 3 == keep a 3
(1) Morgoth - draw 3 == 1 1 2 == do nothing
(2) CF - draw 1 == 2 == keep a 2

---

hex 203:

(D) Tatts - draw 1 == 1 == do nothing
(1) D'rek - draw 0

Now the reputation bag has:

11 ones, 5 twos and 2 threes



Player board reputation afterwards:

Khell - [4] [4]
Gnaw - [4]
Twelve - [2] [3] [3] [ ]
D'rek - [1] [2]
CF - [2] [ ] [ ]
Morgoth - [2] [3] [4]
Ve/Gr - [3] [3] [4]
Tapper - [3] [4]
Tatts - [3] [1] [2] [3]

Twelve, in the hex 305 draw they replaced their [2] with a [3]. Then they have two [3]s and a [4], with no empty spots, so they don't do anything with the draw from 304.

Lyra Upkeep

--Colonize 2 Science planets in Sigma Draconis and Delta Eridani

Bankrupt! Remove influence disc from 208 Iota Persei

Science = 5 +24 = 29

I did the supernova rolls using Orokos. If it's too early for this then we can consider it void, but otherwise the results are:

Need 7+ to not blow up.

391 (formerly twelve's): (3, 1) = 4 = KABOOM.

392 (Tattersail's): (2, 6) = 8 + 2 tech bonus = 10 = SAFE.

D, on 28 January 2014 - 03:51 PM, said:

With Gnaw's homeworld disc returning to his board he doesn't go bankrupt, so his upkeep would be: Money = 0 +10 -10 = 0 Science = 0 +6 = 6 Materials = 4 +4 = 8

It's going to stall when we get around to Gnaw though....

Anyway,

RESEARCH the 12 energy source for 11 science I think. Put it on the lower track please.

Morgoth, on 31 January 2014 - 01:38 PM, said:

Research - Antimatter Cannon and Quantum Grid for 16 science.

[cerveza_fiesta]

So as I recall Morgoth, we tried to take a hex to the north of our area and failed, right?

EDIT

Gnaw - it would be very helpful if you could update page 1 when you get a chance - even if it only shows the start of the current round.

Hex 304 - Twelve v IH

Slight typo in Gnaw's summary. Twelve's dreads have 4hp each, not 3.
Special orders from twelve - try to kill interceptors with missiles first, then cruisers. THEN go after cruisers in engagement rounds

304.0

IH starbase [3,3,4] 3 hits, 3 damage dealt to Twelve's dread
Twelve dreads [6,5][4,3] 4 hits 8 damage - 2 interceptors killed, cruiser damaged for 4

304.1

IH cruiser [6], 1 hit, 1 damage, Twelve's first dread is dead.
Twelve dread [6] 1 hit, 2 damage, IH's cruiser is toast

Battle outcome

Twelve keeps blasting away at IH's defenseless starbase until he wins the hex.

How are you doing?

Still unemployed. I thought I had the job all but in the bag but apparently I had some holes in my experience the other candidate they selected didn't. I won the consolation prize of being the first loser for the position. At the moment I have nothing else even remotely close lined up. I hate looking for work. Doing the work doesn't bother me but trying to convince people that I'm the right person to do the work they have isn't my cup of tea in the slightest.
