Don’t notice if you noticed he build a base right next to my homeworld of 4 TGs + 1

I told you 12 was the person to worry about quite warlike !

Tatts is fucked now too. Good luck

I did notice as I have been eyeing Abyz-Fria for the last few rounds, and I have been wondering why didn't you build anything resembling a defense there over the last 2 rounds, incidentally :D.

The game isn't over if your home system is taken, just makes it more difficult.

Either way, taking a hissy fit and rage quitting is something I would expect on World of Warcraft, not here.

Just disappointed I guess.

bunker up in your homeworld and make it too dangerous to attack. This isn't a game of territorial conquest, and I have won before holding nothing but my homeworld, with a small roaming fleet outside.

FYI to all: the Action Cards draw pile has run out. All the non-Rider discarded action cards plus two random Rider cards have been shuffled to make a new draw pile. I'm only going to re-add 2 Rider cards in each shuffle in order to keep the pace of how often Rider cards are played closer to a real game (where there would be fewer players and therefore they'd be drawn less often).

He will have 18 resources a turn now. + 5 if he takes me out.

So that’s a war sun a turn + more ships.

He will most likely have 23 + commodities + blend gives him 6 TGs we will say ? So 29 or so.

Actually after this round I'm willing to give up that system for a price. I just wanted the port. If you hadn't blown mine up I wasn't going to attack you.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Lol right. Your just doing that cause you don’t want the board to flip on you.

I was telling D'rek how you played this round all wrong. If you had built on that system any defenses at all like Tapper said I would have left it be. I would have waited until next round to rebuild my port.

Anyhow I’ll be around, I’m just saying 12 is the threat people.

Been saying it for ages. All he has done is attack

Good luck!

One of larger complaints was a turn order tracker beginning this game . I def need that for sure and totally voiced it and was ignored. But whatever

One my earlier turns I lost the ability (by 12) to build with his action card, but really should have done leadership 2 that round, but my lack of forum play for me there. IRL : secondary actions are no duh ... but waiting what could be a full day or two... I forgot and missed my turn.. oh well lack of forum play did me in.

Some of the vets are probably used to it so .. until next game.

Hey Gnaw, how about we coordinate our fleets a little? You're at the bottom of the score track, so I have little interest in fighting you, but I will also be worried about moving my fleet anywhere when yours is right next to me.



I'm thinking all of us need to do something about Rex. The moves to take out his home world haven't gone so well.
I was hoping 12 was going that direction this round but Nico declaring verbal war on him awhile back rightfully diverted his attention. (Yeah, Nico. When you say that your goal in the game is to make sure player X gets eliminated, you really can't whine when player X believes you...)
My goal of not finishing dead last is looking a little more unattainable at this moment. And I'm aware that I'm presenting a rather large open path to my territory right beside that wormhole that I though Tapper was going to cover.

Tapper is going to cover that wormhole.
My worlds are as close to it as yours are, so the incentive for me is clearly there.

With the current directive being what it is, I am just not going to sit on top of it, though. Losing ships in Mallice is bad enough.
