My Space Fleet is Invincible! — Let's Play Twilight Imperium Third Edition

The Mindnet passes on the secondary.

Passing on the secondary.

Seeing as I haven't had a chance to tap a planet yet, passing :P

Passing as well.

I actually forgot anyone even had a planet tapped. Just severian and Googleshng, I think, with their Trade Stations.

I do too! I played that action card, which had me tap like four planets.

Argh!

Been a little distracted, taking the kid to the ER last night and all (she's fine).

Sorry to hear that. (But glad she's fine.)

Actually, I do have a question: Is this card saying I can untap all my planets with an individual combined cost of 6, or planets up to a total combined cost? I'm not thinking about changing my mind, but I'd like to be clear on this for the future.

Total combined. You could do Zohbat and Rigel III, Zohbat and Mellon, etc.

I have no planets tapped, so I shall pass.

Even as I am currently CC rich, passing on this secondary.

With Lucas out of the game, the Mentak auto-pass on this one, and I believe that's all of us (unless SilentSnake is changing his tune). `Hrist is up!

Activate Production.



Tap Hope's End and Primor for 5 Resources + 2 Resources from Production. Using that to build 1x Dreadnought at Hope's End + 4x Fighters.

Activating this secondary like a firework on the fourth of July. I get one free resource from Sarween Tools, and I'll tap Muaat, Lesab, Resculon, and El'nath for 10 more resources, and spend a Trade Good for a total of twelve.

I'll also spend my second trade good to spawn two more Ground Forces because why not?

"Any attack made by the other empires against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!"

I don't know why I thought I only had 1 CC in Strategy Allocation, when my round-end post clearly had 2. I must have updated my sheet incorrectly. I could have done a tactical retreat after all. D'oh!

Also, I'll upload a new map after everyone has done their Production secondary business.

We pass on Production secondary.

Passing on the secondary.

Gee whiz am I ever activating this one. Exhausing... a whole bunch of planets and building another War Sun with accompanying Fighters... probably these ones now marked in red (except for Tsion)...

And OH $#@% I might have screwed up something really freaking important I now need to double check with Sarc it seems!

Edit: And checks have been doubled. All is groovy it turns out.

Once SilentSnake has decided on this, we're on to Epithet.

The Mindnet will spend one Strategy Allocation and activate the secondary ability.

Quann will be exhausted and (along with the extra resource Sarween Tools gives) a Cruiser and two Ground Forces will be built in the Mindnet's home system.

I'd to offer my 1-value trade contract to the L1Z1X. My 2-value contract is pretty much up for grabs.

I'll offer one of my Sol 2 contracts for yours, Epithet, and will consider offers for the other one.

N'orr 2
Sol 2

The Mindnet accepts!

TRADE CONTRACTS
N'orr 1
L1Z1X 1

Sounds good!

TRADE CONTRACTS
Sol 2
Mindnet 1

EDIT: Never mind. Too many "Ifs" on my part.

Hey Google, you want one of my 1 Trade Contracts again?

Sol, you want the other?

I extend my trade contracts to Sarc and the Mindnet.

I'll take the 1 for 1 deal with Sev, and remind everyone that I have a 3 I'd ideally like to trade for someone's 2, giving them a tidy profit and reducing my insentive to swing my war suns towards their neck of the woods... not that I plan on using these for more than defensive purposes. Mostly.

And heck I'd even be willing to toss it back towards Sol, making some reparations towards blowing up all these ships in an impromptu weapons test... assuming it's actually possible to do that while blockading his dock here... which it probably isn't.
