Kevin's Watch

I'm back! And how lovely to see a nice big turn summary when I get back!

Oh well. All that talk about enacting plans it all comes to nothing. Pft.

Glad to have you back. Twice it seems

Turn sent!

This is going to be great. Things are moving in the right directions! And this game is being played deeper and deeper. Once it becomes clear, it will become CLEAR. If that makes sense.

Received the orders, Ross154.

Okay, all I need now are the Free Traders' orders and I will start turn seven processing!

Since this assassination, however, the Khatan homeworld has been in a state of anarchy.

Does this mean whoever was playing the Khatan Imperium has left the game? Or what? This confuses me.

No doubt you will be finding out whose blood - and there's more than one empire involved - soon.

I think I hear the sound of locking horns around a certain abandoned planet

I hope it isn't TOO bad of a hassle, but the next turn came too quickly for me to update thye History in a normal manner, I'm going to combine the last two moves into one sumarry, as long as no one objects.

Fine by me.

Waging War

In order to fight a war with another (or other) empire(s), an empire must do two things. First, declare war on an empire the turn before actual hostilities start. Second, pay the Wage War cost (5, however it can be more expensive or cheaper for some empires) every turn the war is occuring. This means that if empire Y is at war with empire x for three turns, they have to pay 5CCs (or less or more) for three turns. Failure to pay wage war each turn results in the armies and warships/fleets receiving a major penalty (reflecting the lack of arms, fuel and food). I will enforce this rule strictly, so please make sure you are all aware of it as I will not be allowing for breaches.

I should add that the Wage War amount does not vary depending upon how many empires you are fighting. It stays the same.

To ross154: For the history, sectors explored this turn were: E10, F7, F8, F10, J10, R5.


Oh, and I have a small question about the wormholes--When entering the light blue wormhole (N5), do you choose which of the dark blue wormholes you exit from, or is it random?

Thanks.
