Did we ever roll the supernovas this past cleanup phase?

if not at this point I think we need to give them a free pass. we're already once around the board.

[Imperial Historian]

We did the rolls are up thread.

Tapper, what are you planning to do with all those materials? If you are feeling penned in let me know, I only took that hex because I didn't want D'rek there, I'm sure we can negotiate my exit if need be.

With that number of materials, I don't think Tapper needs your cooperation to negotiate your exit.

I have some aliens to oust, so it will come in handy there, but yes, a dread at my doorstep in a very juicy hex that's also a road to the rest of the galaxy does't really make me feel safe, so your presence in that hex was a prime motivator for grabbing those mats.

Hmm....tatts. I like where you are going with these bristling missile ships of yours.

I've more or less canceled my plans for attacking the ancient homeworld -- you with your missiles and me with my hulls. Our current layouts are more or less direct counters to each other, which is not particularly exciting. Combined they are threatening as hell though.

What do you think about an alliance once you take that hex? I bring to the table my already-secured 4VP reputation tile and whatever I manage to net this combat round. We would have quite the walled-off little area if we cooperated and could easily push for the GC next round.

I've thought long and hard about alliances and you and Tapper would be great I think.

I'm not opposed to the idea at all. I'd prefer it.

That's me replying on way to shop. I'm in shop now. It's not hard to post here.

Well that's not terrifying at all....

[Imperial Historian]

I like not this talk of a CF/Tatts alliance on my borders!

Tapper would you be interested in an alliance, I could help you take the ancient homeworld and it would prevent the CF/Tatts alliance forming.

There are only two entrances to our territory at the moment so it would be relatively easy to defend. We are both in a good position to build up vp and research for a strong end game.

[Tattersail_]

Why aren't you offering to Khell?

[cerveza_fiesta]

Don't worry Tatts. If they start talking that kind of game I will put all of my cruisers into the ancient homeworld and blow the lot of them to kingdom come.

EDIT

Including the ancient.

and tapper, despite his overabundance of materials is going to have a hard time fielding enough material and getting it there to help out IH.

[Gnaw]

The Conclave of the Forests is silent. The Overmind awaits word from the Machines.

Our fates are intertwined one way or the other. We can waste precious resources struggling against each other whilst the others gain ground unassailable by the survivor.

Or we can join forces.

[Tattersail_]

IH why do you want to compete with me for the ancient homeworld? I explored it. I planned to take it this round. I want the discovery more than the hex itself.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I think it had more to do with the proposed alliance than anything...but the discovery is a bonus I guess.

We are waiting on your submission for how you propose for the alliance to function. At present we see you as very weak and an easy initial conquest. An alliance isn't removed from our course of actions but heavy concessions will need to be made to alter our current course. At present upon our next action we will have moved to a point where an alliance would not be possible.

Mechanema points of concerns:

Point A: Planta after receiving protection from Mechanema will cancel alliance at later date where we are unable to respond to said actions.

Point B: Material & Science scarceness in current hexes Mechanema controls.

If Planta can satisfy the Mechanema in the major points of emphasis an alliance would be acceptable. Elsewise prepare for imminent invasion.

That's not a terrible idea really, now that I have a good look. Tapper has good potential for science production with nearby hexes and potential for orbitals as well, thus will be able to keep up on the VP count later on.

We both are looking like we'll have good battle capability and should be able to fill the research VP gap with battle vp as we protect our hyperintelligent neighbour
