caliber and GrimmyTOA, I really will be moving away from you this round, I have no hope of holding your PDS defended areas from your fleets, please do not attack. At least hold off one more turn to see what I am doing.
He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!
We'll happily do something other than take potshots at your flagship with our PDS this turn, VS. If you're planning on moving away from our home systems, however, we urge you in the strongest terms to do so soon.
Jol Nar plays the Primary Ability of the Production Strategy Card. We exhaust our remaining planets (Jol, Nar, Arinam, Lirta IV, and Rigel 3) for 7 resources, add in two resources for Production, and Four Trade Goods, and our Sarween Tools bonus, giving us a production value of 14.
We build one War Sun and four fighters (using our Eviro-Compensator bonus to allow us to squeak out the fourth).
Play on secondary, spend 2 trade goods, Sarween Tools, and discard Technology Tariffs (LAW) to build on Quann 2 PDS (4R).

Don't worry about the delays. I can try to call for another person to act as a partner for you if you want to, though?
Hi. I've been reading this game since turn 2, I think. If I can help, I'd love to.

A new addition to the MindNet would be great; I wouldn't feel so bad about being away if I knew someone was available to make our plays and keep the game going.

I want to point out, if it hasn't been pointed out already, that the Creuss are getting their secret objective this turn (8 ships and a space dock on Mecatol Rex). It might not be a bad idea for the Muaat to move their cruisers from Qucen'n and Rarron to Mecatol Rex, as this would most likely keep the Ghosts' number of ships below 8.
Also, to keep things moving, I'll just play...
The Mindnet plays on the secondary of Production and exhausts L1Z1X to build 1 dreadnought on L1Z1X.
You machines and your faulty logic loops, you always seem to get stuck on these things.
Probably would have taken diplomacy if I need to camp the middle for an objective.
Reinforced the middle to keep it from being easy pickings from Muaat while leaving my homeworld undefended to his warsun. Can't claim objectives w/o a homeworld. Only got to build troops there due to well timed production.
Muaat can go at all the remaining public objectives by taking Mecatol-that seems bad.
Okay then, well, you all saw this coming a mile away but still...
Ya'll gonna have to deal with Crues by yourself.
Honestly that production I am miffed at.
Could have totally invaded his homeworld thanks jol-nar.
I mean... ally, would never do that and all that stuff.
Anyway I get a bonus to space combat which means...
Muaat
Activate Darien with a tactical action. Move Warsun carrying 4 fighters and a mechanized infantry to Darien from Muaat, pass through Quann and pick up another fighter. Move 2 cruisers from Rarron to Darien. Move High Alert Token to Darien.

We would like to report an error in the galactic universal translator software. A bug seems to report the Muaat phrase "We're invading your homeworld" as "We will withdraw from your space".
Everyone be sure to recalibrate your device next Muaat dealing.
Planetary Landing on Darien with the mechanized infantry.
Look, our translators were built by the fish, blame them.
I take it you would not be willing to come to a trade agreement then this turn?

I thought that the active player got to fire PDS, then the active players ships were vulnerable to PDS from other players, so your ships could have been hit or your PDS could have hit my ships, but a third party could not have PDS fired at my ships.
So jol nar did cover you by attacking my flagship with PDS last turn.
Just wondering.

Yeah, mrbody, the only way we could have shot at VS would have been to activate our home system last turn, which would have utterly penned us in. His most recent move wasn't PDS-eligible for us.
Not that I wouldn't be totally ruthless if there was an opening, but I also wouldn't go making promises to the contrary then break it first thing. Pretty low.
I guess it's safe to say at this point that both my secret objectives involved Mecatol Rex. One was possible, but a lot harder for Yin to pull off than anyone else. The other was bonkers crazy that required over 30 resources dumped into stuff no one would want and could be undone at any time. That objective was 2 points, which contributed to at least an extra inch of my jaw dropping when I saw L1z1x's "own 2 systems adjacent to homeworlds" objective for 2 points.
