Pass.

And I guess thank you for anteing Priority so that we don't clash.

I will retreat 3 and then you'll miss due to Vanishing.

SoooLoo

I'll need to think about the next beat when I'm not watching kids.

That was the point. I forget exactly why I thought that was the favorable outcome, but I thought about it a lot so I'm not doubting myself.

It looks like you wanted this position. It wasn't my first choice (I was largely hoping to advance and then retreat, but hold the middle,) but I think I can work with it.

Hmm, I really hope you didn't play naturalizing. I assume you've got a shot or drive and I can handle them both if you don't have naturalizing as the style. That Priority +2 isn't reassuring though.

Ante: Beyond Eyes Drive.

I'm pretty sure your only option is Compelling Drive. If I'm wrong though, this is going to make me look like an idiot.

Stun Guard 2

KingdomAces · Post Post #57 (ISO) » Sat Jul 30, 2016 12:51 pm

Soak 1

KingdomAces · Post Post #58 (ISO) » Sat Jul 30, 2016 12:59 pm

Wait, the Soak was supposed to be only if you got the Beyond Eyes right. Oh well, it can't hurt. Except for the fact that it could lose me the game, but eh. I'll roll with it. More insurance in case I miscalculated.

Anyway, I'm out of force, so pass.

KingdomAces · Post Post #59 (ISO) » Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:06 pm

...yeah I did forget something. The fact that you could push me away with Compelling instead of bringing me closer.

*Sigh*
At least I'm still leading, and you still can't hit me.

KingdomAces · Post Post #60 (ISO) » Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:25 pm

And for the record, the priority was 100% a bait. I didn't want you having Finisher this beat, if you survived the last one. Whether or not that was the right move in retrospect I can't say, but you having less Force is always a good thing.

Zorblag · Post Post #61 (ISO) » Sat Jul 30, 2016 4:22 pm

You might have thought that the priority was bait, but it caused a clash/lost beat for me if you were using either Pruning or Naturalizing, so I had to counter. The good news is that this beat was mostly a stall to finish cleaning out my discards before getting back to the dance. I'm gaining Force faster than you are thanks to that one life difference and now I'll be working with my normal full base distribution so I'm not too unhappy with this position.

I do, clearly push you two spaces so that we both miss. I'll go ahead and say that you didn't spend the 2 force on 1 soak. You said that you didn't mean to before I said anything and it looks like before you looked at my attack pair.

No, I spent it. By I didn't mean to spend it on Soak, I meant I wanted to spend it on Power instead. There is absolutely no way I would have passed there.

KingdomAces · Post Post #64 (ISO) » Sat Jul 30, 2016 5:46 pm

Oh, and yeah I know I would have beat you if you didn't counter Priority, but I just assumed that you would.

OK, I'll go back and take off those two force then. And I'm passing after your pass so this beat should be done.

Looks like you win priority, but don't do anything.

I'll advance 2 with drive.

OK, looks like I've got priority. Rooted makes sense there from you. You can move 0, 1, 2 or 3. I'll move along with (though only 2 spaces if you advance 3) and then hit you for 3 (and you'll soak 2.)

Sound right?
