FG: Galactic Overlord 9 - The Golden Age

[Jaguar]

I am lodging a protest against Spaced Cowboy's BP total. GM error has given him sixteen extra.

In the first update, he had two bases and 34 BP.

He then buys a third base, for 16 BP, stockpiling 18 BP. He should have a total of 18+15, or 33 BPs the next turn. However, he was given 49. He was not charged for the base at all.

I think three titans of his choice should be eliminated, plus one stockpiled BP.

Orders sent.

These calculations are correct. The GM decides, since he can see all the orders, that the situation is most easily rectified by cancelling the build of 3 of the titans Spaced Cowboy is building this turn, and docking one of the two BPs he was stockpiling. ZOMFG! Orders revealed! Trust me, it makes no difference, and its easier this way.

We're 45 minutes past my deadline, and still no orders from Hercules or from Panzeh. Since I'm nice I'm going to eat food then update. They have less than 30 minutes to get orders in. If my memory serves me correctly, Panzeh sent no orders last round, so he will be dropped if he doesn't make it. Eeep.

Now, to noodles!

Chapter 6

Clone Point's mighty fleet at last left its orbiting dockyards, sending its laser titans to attack the apparent weakness of Ciann Pollus's bases. With his entire fleet recently scrapped, Pollus had no alternative but to raise his shields. The three smaller lasercruisers of Clone Point's fleet had been sent to scout ahead, and they were vapourised on contact with the energy field. One of the massive titans was unable to stop quickly enough to avoid being damaged.

Another overlord was luckier in his attacks. Captain Imperium threw his entire fleet at the bases under the control of Robot 1000. An unconfirmed report that Robot 1000 was running an antique defence subroutine called Norton Antilaser may have explained what happened next. It appears that the automated defences simply didn't recognise Captian Imperium's ships as enemies and failed to fire. One of the Captain's tech experts laughed about it and said,
"I wish we could fight these guys everyday"
Unfortunately for him, in a later incident involving antimatter compression he was flung into a temporal anomality where he actually did find himself fighting the forces of Robot 1000 every single day. That's life, I guess.

Panzeh is eliminated and Vlad gains 4 bases.

BUT THERE'S MORE!

Chapter 6b

The forces of Min Grah were dispatched to restore order to the galaxy. After a small... erm... "incident"...

"What do you mean, small incident?" demanded the Admiral, "We're missing three entire titan-class warships!"

The clerk wondered if now was a good moment to inform the Admiral about the missing building supplies, about 1,000,000 tonnes of materials (that's 1 BP to you)

"Its pretty damn lucky," continued the Admiral, "That Min Grah's orders only call for me to dispatch 2 Lasertitans. I think he calls it the improved frigate ping or some such nonsense..."

And so, luckily for Min Grah, who ordered 5 Lasertitans but only got 2, the orders would only need two Lasertitans.

The two enormous ships shot though hyperspace and emerged above Polly Siffan's main fortress. Siffan's entire fleet was ready and waiting... but they opened with a wave of fighters! Surely Siffan's captains were insane to attack Lasertitans with fighters! But no, the fighter launch coincided perfectly with a manourvre from the attacking pair, and when the lasers did fire, they were met with torpedoes. (And this is the best response to a MLL attack I can imagine. Kudos to Snoopy)

Spaced's two attacking titans are vapourised.

Chapter 6 - STANDINGS



And so another would-be overlord bites the dust. And not a noble death.

Round 7 orders due at about 2000GMT (or BST or whatever) on Saturday. Attacking people is yarr and woo. Getting orders in well before the deadline grants increases in both yarr and woo. You want to be yarr and woo, don't you?

Hah!

Well, 'twas worth a try

Check snoopy's BPs. He should have at least 22.

No, he should have exactly 22. He spent all his BPs last turn and gets 22 new ones this turn.

All I have to say is OMGWTFNIPPLES!11!!

Thank you, Jaguar, for the check

I have to say Jag's probably responsible for me learning something about OOBs ... or at least affected my random generator ...
