Alright, a little bit of bad news. My grandmother passed away this morning, looks like I will be heading up north for her funeral on Wednesday (instead of on Friday for Thanksgiving) and likely out of town til next Monday or later. So unfortunately, I think it best that I delay the actual game start to next Tuesday, October 15. I'll keep an eye on thread, probably start up the Strategy Phase over the weekend, but I most likely won't be able to finish the map and prepare game PMs and all or do any of the normal map updates and whatnot until I get back home.

Sorry to hear that blend, don't worry about the game, family takes precedence.

[Tattersail_]

Sorry for your loss Blend. I hope everyone goes perfect for you and your family. Keep your chin up dude

5?! What are you planning Tatts?

I'll take 9. We're going to be best galactic buds, IH!

With 5 I don't see as much conflict and a clear border between neighbours. I'm surprised you didn't want tobunker down next me. I know I am going to be limited on races with only a choice of 4.

My condolences. Starting next week sounds great.

I'll go with position 4.

A new neighbour! What should I expect from you?

My condolences, too, Blend. Go do what you need to do, take as long as you need to, and don't worry about us. We can finish the snake draft on our own, and I can build the starting map in the meantime. I'll ask Tapper to go into the Galactic Council alt to retrieve any of the files I need, and if you need more time I'm sure he can cover doing any secret/random things we need to help me get us started in your absence.

Happy to, if you supply me with a password
I have work time behind a desktop today, on thursday morning and the whole of friday so should be able to keep things from coming to a complete standstill.

Sorry IH! Though I wanted to be your neighbour I just couldn't give up the chance to hang with my man Khell. And also it's been too long since I played the Creuss.

Between IH and Morgoth eh. So I should feel totally secure and things will be going great, some nice and generous deals will be made, and then somehow suddenly I find myself with just my homeworld left. The only solution is preemptive strikes! Erm, I mean, this will surely be the most harmonious quadrant of the galaxy.

[Imperial Historian]

Khell feel secure, morgoth and I are peaceful souls.

I don't attack people even when I probably should much to twelves chagrin.

Speaking of twelve, hey new neighbour, hope we can have a harmonious relationship Hoping to be a happy trade partner

Considering what race I play and your distance to wormholes I'd feel pretty safe were I you.

Hard to tell without knowing which races we'll be first. I can say I'm not looking for conflict, but also not afraid to shy away from it if necessary. And my reputation is important to me, so I'll always try and keep to my nonbinding deals as well as I can.

I am open to working out an early border which should be obvious for us and i'm willing to trade. You're right about what races may be available to us.

The intentions and relationships of HS #1 are unclear until I know my race ;-).
But of course I am willing to work with my neighbors.

We don't have minds. We are clouds made out of billions of nano sized logic gates.

My ride up north isn't until tomorrow morning, so I'm just going to be treading water at home until then, which means I should have plenty of time to get a bunch of the game stuff together for ya, particularly if we can somehow get through the draft phase today (though realistically that probably won't happen).

[D'rek]

Spent a good hour and a half hemming and hawing over 3 particular races, in the end I pick... the Nekro Virus
