[Farren]

Very interesting indeed. The Miser chooses to spend some of his strength in cards rather than his strength in ships.

Parasite, do you plan to allow this coalition of yours to end in tragedy?

[T-Bone]

I mean y'all did attack the planet the Shadow has been UNJUSTLY assaulting since turn 1.

[xofelf]

I am not quite sure just what it is I can do here. I mismathed

[T-Bone]

You can play reinforcements if you want...but then I will play mine and still win. Time to take the L, Parasite.

[Farren]

Interesting. So you'd rather allow eleven ships to go to the Warp - swelling Warpish's power considerably - than take the loss of two of your own? Yes, you yourself may not be at risk in the near future, but letting Warpish run rampant through everyone else doesn't bode well for your own chances of victory.

[T-Bone]

The culture of Miser-5 goes back centuries and you warmongers will not destroy it!

Don't make me out to be the villain here. I wanted the Miser to lose as much as everyone else.

[Farren]

It gets you a base too if it works.

[xofelf]

I know that I can't do anything atm to make it so that we win, but I doubt Mizzy would have let this sit here if there weren't things that could be done to help us win.

[the worst]

i am similarly unsure of what i can do to help us win.

perhaps i will have to destroy you all next time.

hmph

[Mizzytastic]

All players with an option to something right now have either told me what they intend to do or have given me a signal to wait for, sorry for any delays

[Farren]

Play a +3 reinforcement

.

Call it if you want, Miser. Make your choice.

[Farren]

(on the offense's side)

[xofelf]

Oh no, we would never blame *you* for this, Mizzy. This is all T-Bone's fault for not accepting his defeat in the first place. >:(

[Mizzytastic]

xofelf

and allies are currently winning 24 to 22.

[Farren]

I know that I can't do anything atm to make it so that we win, but I doubt Mizzy would have let this sit here if there weren't things that could be done to help us win.

To be perfectly fair, there should be *some* time no matter what - otherwise it reveals to everyone that no one can do anything, which is valuable information to have. At least enough time for everyone to check in and say they're not doing anything, whether explicitly or implicitly.

[xofelf]

Also fair.

[T-Bone]

Well that's unfortunate....for YOU. Muhahahahahaha

[Mizzytastic]

T-Bone

plays a

+5 Reinforcement

from his hand wins the encounter 26 to 24

[T-Bone]

To be fair, I wanted to share in the defender rewards! You did this to yourselves!
