Lordship of Development

1. I heard somewhere that you can't capture a MW unless you have a full movement point left. I don't know if it's true.
2. I wonder if we'll have any "credit" accumulated with the former when we move it back to the same square and continue terriforming the same thing.

[Chaos Theory]

1. Not sure about this, but even if we fail to capture, given the hefty penalties mind worms get before 2115, we should definitely win with 2/3 of a movement point, and probably win with 1/3 of a movement point (need to test this, though).

2. Not sure, but we might as well move back to the original tile (which was it?) since if it was a good choice before, it's a good choice now.

[smacksim]

We will capture and move onto a MW with 1/3 movement on the river, or on a road.

We will capture and possibly move onto a MW with 1/3 movement elsewhere. Other 'chances' of moving don't effect a capture, even if you can't get into the square.

All this is important for our very first MW, for which there is no risk of not capturing. Thus, I agree that moving the IndScout first is best. The spore launcher can wait till end of turn.

Former path was as indicated in a picture here....here

Former will not have moves saved (doesn't save between turns AFAIK)

I hand the playing baton back to the Chairman of the Council of Lords of Gaia. Good luck Chaos!

[smacksim]

The turn has landed. I played it. Couldn't help meself and I was online.

Plan of Action for 2108

Scout running the river didn't find a MW. FT scout now in GL, ready to attack the SLauncher. Hopefully we'll find a MW before that, as SLaunchers aren't nearly as useful to capture.

No changest to production.
PlanNets in 11 (Sliders still at 80 percent labs)

I don't know if it was discussed but I would have popped that pod in the north this turn if I had permission. Everything else I would have done the same.

So, now we get to see if a spore launcher can be capured next turn. Hmmmm....Gaian artillery

[Net Warrior]

Well it's too late now since were no longer in position but....why aren't we popping that northern pod ASAP? Capturing a Spore Launcher would be fine by me and I see no reason to delay pod popping just hoping for a MW capture. We're losing turn advantage right and left.

(just my 2 cents )

[Chaos Theory]

Smacksim: not a problem, we have consensus on the intended turn and it doesn't take a whole lot of skill to carry it out.

[Chaos Theory]

Reasons to not pop the pod now:

We aren't prepared in case of mind worms

We can't take full advantage of a rush build now

We can't use resource specials, monoliths, or artifacts now, so they're just as good later.

That said, it wouldn't be a particularly bad decision to pop the pod, but there are better things to do

[Chaos Theory]

Proposal:

Move scout west on river

Begin solar panel

Capture/kill spore launcher

[Net Warrior]

[smacksim]

Sporelauncher targeted. But only after moving scout west along river, in case of MW. Our complex decisions made, the comittee retires to the Observation Deck.

[smacksim]

Are we agreed on production? We have one more slack turn to decide I think.

[smacksim]

The turn is available. Seems Chaos is on ~ now most days, so I'll wait. Do you care at all who plays the turns Chaos? I mean, if we have everything decided I'm all for having whichever of us shows up play the turn.

Quite impressive 24 hour/1 turn cycle this time. We might finish by New Years.
