The player that expressed interest last time we started, I have PM'd him to see if he'd like to go into a dual partnership with Gnaw in case Gnaw does have to bow out. Thoughts on this?


Sounds good to me.

I'm up for a residential job down in Big Sur. They have satellite internet for guests but it's severely limited for staff. No cell towers.

Sounds pretty horribly unfair for everyone not right next to you who doesn't get a bunch of free planets to take over easily...

Or just turn everything into empty hexes and asteroid fields.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

No matter what way you spin it, it means the two spots adjacent to Gnaw will now be the best homeworld locations to pick (or the worst, if Khell opts for something like removing the hexes and making all hexes across the gap adjcaent)

I would like to play. However there is a possibility that I would have to bow out the first of March, essentially committing racial suicide. Leave it up to all y'all.

*shrug*
Either way I'm good.


As I said two days ago, I'm good either way.

Edit: one way around your perfectly logical point is for me to take a slice with a wormhole in it.

Or find another player to team up with Gnaw. That seems the reasonable option to me.

I agree that we can't really plan for a player to leave mid game, so we need to find a replacement for it to work.

Is there no way you could continue playing, Gnaw? Even with lower participation?

Maybe Bliss would like to try again?

I did a quick check in with Mat, and I am sure he could be convinced to join with Gnaw if needed.

Just missing Nom's map setup and I'll be able to build the whole map!

Alrighty, so map is built.

Check it out here:

Spoiler


I'm pretty sure I put the HW hexes where Khell intended. Let me know if I haven't.

Also, as an FYI - the three supernovas were all pretty much right next to each other, so I swapped one of them with a blank hex from the other side of the map and moved a couple of hexes around on the right side of the map to accommodate the supernova.

Otherwise everything should be exactly as provided!

looks like there might need to be a bit more tweaking. Near 7 and 9 the asteroid fields are touching the supernova and Everra/nebula hexes.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Nah, I figure those are fine as the tech to fly through asteroid fields has no pre-requisites.

Thanks Blend, that’s a super help! And yep, I don’t mind about asteroid fields touching anomalies, that’s fine. The only thing I would say is that I think homeworld 3 should be in the hex above where it is, as it and 4 are currently too close.

Okay, so this is the race/position selection order. Remember, you can choose either race or homeworld position for your first choice, the last person gets to do both at the same time, and then we go in reverse order back to the first person. This, I think, will also be the round-the-table order as in Blend’s game.

1: Tapper
2: Nom
3: Morgoth
4: IH
5: Twelve
6: Blend
7: Tatts
8: D’rek
9: Gnaw/Mac
