Oh God.  That means the Hierarchy are secretly player characters in a tabletop RPG.  We're doomed!
17:37:02   Quanto: I want to have sexual intercourse with every space elf in existence
17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Well, if we're going to go down this kind of road, I'd prefer to think of this instead...

Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion
Okay since I haven't heard anything from Torchwood in like, forever (hasn't responded to my pm which I send a few days ago) I have offered Hartzaden his place as admiral of the 3rd CRF. Which he has accepted. So say hello to your new colleague in arms.

Still waiting on a few admirals to give orders this turn!

I also sent Torchwood a PM right at the start of the turn, and he never responded to it. I hope he's alright...

Hartzaden, eh? I don't think I've seen that person before. Well, hello Hartzaden, fellow CRF Admiral. How do you like your nice free shiny new fleet? :D

Just as a side note, it's done now, but I would have offered the fleet to Flak first, who's been here from the start, just without a fleet.

And your friends spread viruses too. Bioweapons... :shaking:

I uh wow. Didn't even think of that. Hartzaden came to mind first because he had asked me about it a few weeks back at skype. Now I feel sort of bad for not thinking about Flak.
Well the 2nd LSF might be available, since Dragon doesn't seem intend on keeping his command.

Do you know something?

Or, maybe the Cyrvans might see fit to send another fleet... :pimp:

Why don't you flee, niffiwan? I haven't seen Andrew say he wants you to save him.

Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion
yeah well, if I flee I'm taking away any choice he may have, and he hasn't said anything either way so I'm going to go with this until I hear otherwise.

I'm vaguely thinking about how the Hierarchy are going to reconstitute their doomstack, I guess there's a number of options:

First of all, if they all wait/resupply then we'll be dealing again with a doomstack that can one-shot most of our fleets.  I think that would require 2x resupply actions for 1st Fura, 1x for 2nd Fura & 1x 4th Hertak.  We are not in a position to attack them before that occurs.

If they don't do that then...

If 1st UGCR holds the line, and if the 2nd Fura wants to resupply then only the 1st Fura / HFF could advance == weaker doomstack.  In this situation the 2nd UGCR should probably attack the 2nd Fura and retreat to Algol (Draco would be hostile after the 3rd DD leaves, so I can't retreat there) to make it more likely that the 2nd Fura won't advance without resupplying.  I suppose from Algol (assuming the doomstack doesn't follow...) the northern fleets could be wiped out faster?  Maybe two fleets could be destroyed the turn after next. If the doomstack does follow, it could get quite interesting in the north. Almost makes me think that in this situation having the 2nd UGCR capture Draco would be a better move

If the 2nd UGCR holds the line then our fleets may get two turns respite.  Given that Draco & Hydra are hostile, some of them could just move past without attacking, but that would split up their fleets (maybe 2/2) and wouldn't clear their supply lines.  The 1st UGCR could take Draco, but they may need cover to retreat again if the 5th Nordera move over to them.  Is that likely?  Dunno, I don't see that the 5th has a lot of good choices, head on they'll lose to the Cyrvans although if the Cyrvans don't get some support then they may be vulnerable to a kamikaze after 3 turns combat.

Hmmm.. any other thoughts from anyone?

Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion
I honestly do know at that point whether it's best for me to be a hero or run away. Part of the plan assumes Spoon will be nice and let one of us go. :P

Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion
Nice spot on Draco niffiwan. I missed the orange around the system and assumed it was friendly.

Spoon, can niffiwan move on his first action to Draco?

If so, niffiwan, you could move to Draco, and secure the system.

EDIT: If this is not possible, I would attack the 2nd Fura'ngle and go to Algol. And then we can let you out next turn. The Hierarchy of course can't attack you in either instance if Andrew stays behind, and that's the attractive part. They can join you in the system, but they can't harm you.

We both move on the same (1st) action, so I assume that yes, he can. Draco becomes hostile at the start of the 2nd action.

That's what I was thinking too.

Time to start pulling on Spoon's heartstrings niffiwan, if you want to survive... how many cute girls with bright, unnatural coloured hair are there in your fleet? ;)

Spoon knows the composition of the UGCR better than I do, he can have it contain all the unnaturally coloured hair he likes   ;)

And in the event that we don't learn Breakthrough Specialist in time, the section 2nd UGCR will remain here.

Everyone except you, I'm sure, who will make an escape to lead a new fleet later. If we have the supplies to build it.

I guess if that is the case, next time they should hire mercs who gladly scream LEEEEEROOOOOOY into combat and charge head first into the fray.
