Marriage? A fine institution, very fine.

Congrats, Morghy! Although I've heard some really awful things about this marriage lark - just ask Tatts, he'll tell you all about it.

[Imperial Historian]

Congrats morgy, God knows how you managed to trick sarah into that

I'm confused too

I'll have to do something not to hold up the game though.

move - cruiser to system 104 from 281, and fighter to homeworld.

[Imperial Historian]

Gnaw I highly recommend you influence 281 and 382, as that is 4vp, and decent resource options and khell will likely influence them otherwise (and it is 6 VP for him!). I'd focus on production and money. I'm freeing up your cruiser so in the unlikely event khell or drek come for you, that should be sufficient defence, but I've got enough resources and ships to weigh in if I need to.

Morgoth is likely to leave you at least Procyon and spica for the same reasons as before.

Build 2 interceptors in 234 and 1 cruiser in 212.

[Gnaw]

Hmmm. IH married. Tatts married. Tapper married (almost). Twelve married. CF don't recall. D'rek don't know.


@ D'rek and Khell: do you notice that the married men all think that they tricked their wives into the idea? As if it was their idea all along? In either of your experience, whose idea is the marriage thing?

I'd like to see what twelve does, so Provisional here.

Influence

• Psi Capricorni and Spica
• colonize both planets in Spica with mats
• flip ships.

I'm not married and I still think delta corvi and zeta chameleonis is a better play

Edit: Also neither of those hexes has two material planets, you can only put money and research on orbitals.

I claim no such thing. It was her doing 100%. I even had mother nature trying to get in the way in the form of a ice storm that shut down the airport so that we missed our flight and shut down the airport for the rest of the day and it didn't deter her only; delayed it by half a day.

upgrade

interceptor with plasma cannons and gluon computers

Married? Almost? Urgh. You guys definately have a different view of my relationship than I do.

My lovely wife had a long term relationship before I come along, 6 years (I think), that did not progress into marriage. I never wanted to get married until I met her. After 2 wonderful years I decided it was time to propose, and I have no regrets, I only get happier with each day spent with her, she makes the world a brighter place. We have been married for over 2 years now, and I am so in love.

Urgh, how gross do I sound

Which, ehm, doesn't mean you're wrong. I guess.

[Tattersail_]

IH do you suggest moving on this turn?


If so I will be moving both ships into my ex homeworld.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Just had my 5th wedding anniversary on Saturday. Married life is a pretty fun time. I recommend it!

My 3 pieces of unsolicited advice:


Don't let fester issues that can be overcome with a simple (though sometimes painful) discussion, come to an understanding about money immediately, and get all your serious travel destinations checked off before kids.

[Khellendros]

Marriage is something that my circle of friends appear to be starting to get into now, which makes...hmm, worry is the wrong word. Bemused, I think. But then I still struggle not to think of myself as a student, so that perhaps says more about me than it does them.

Also my girlfriend said on like the second date that she never ever ever wants to get married, which is currently very much fine by me.


Erm, it's not my turn, is it?

[twelve]

I think it's IH's to be honest unless he posted his action ages ago and we just forgot. As I put in a provisional if IH had submitted orders it's our good Mods turn then. You are off the hook there Fiber One.

[Imperial Historian]

It's tatts/gnaws turn, I built 2 intys and a cruiser.

Gnaw wanted to wait on you, and his submitted influence move is illegal. I will again strongly advocate for delta corvi and zeta chameleonis. I'll be able to defend them from khell if required.

Tatts, I'd maybe grab fusion source first but up to you. Drek can't stop you moving, but she could deprive you of fusion source.

[Morgoth]

So, I'm finding this week to be rather busy, and we'll be going on a two week honeymoon straight after. CF, would you feel comfortable working with me for the last two rounds of the game. You know my position pretty well and should be able to make more or less the same decisions I would.
