[xofelf]

And sharing is caring <3

[the worst]

you may think this a victory, miser.
but your short-sightedness shall be your undoing.
soon all shall know the power of the shadow!

[Mizzytastic]

I totally didn't get the numbers wrong or anything. Ignore that edit... *wipes brow*

[Mizzytastic]

And the resolution

T-Bone

wins, moving his ships onto the planet, and

the worst's

ships to the warp. The first foreign colony is here!

Having a successful encounter,

T-Bone

may choose to have a second, starting from regroup.

with that I'm starting to get tired, I'll start the second encounter, update game state, and send people updated hands when I wake up tomorrow, 1-2 days per encounter feels like a good pace and doable if everyone else around at a similar time most days

[T-Bone]

I'll pass on another encounter. Don't want to be greedy.

[Farren]

Don't want to be greedy? Who are you, and what have you done with the Miser?

[the worst]

i would laugh. but jokes are nothing when you are darkness itself.

[Mizzytastic]

T-Bone has declined a second encounter so...

[Mizzytastic]

At the start of the turn

xofelf

is now the offense

[Mizzytastic]

During the regroup phase

xofelf

could return a ship from the warp if they had any there.

[Mizzytastic]

And onto the destiny phase

xofelf

has drawn a

Yellow

card, and is having an encounter with

T-Bone

Blame random.org...

@

the worst

: Pick a

Yellow

ship to

execute

[T-Bone]

Oof, how mean.

[Mizzytastic]

Well, no one is drawing your colour for the next however many encounters so there is that

[xofelf]

I get to fight T-Bone? Awesome. We'll finally get another showdown, let's see if this goes the way ours always do where I'll win

[the worst]

how rich of the miser to speak of meanness, after the sacking of Purple-5. a good, peaceful planet, which existed in utopia for centuries. All of that history, destroyed by your war machines.

Lucky that the shadow cares little for such trifles. I shall have to resort to kicking your butt at cosmic encounter instead of exacting vengeance.

The warp consumes one ship from yellow-4.

[Mizzytastic]

Onto the launch phase...

@

xofelf

: How many ships (up to 4), from which planets, to which planet in

T-Bone's

system?

[T-Bone]

That planet already benefits much more under Miser rule than any rule you had imposed, SHADOW!

[Farren]

Due to budget cuts, we are reducing the Sun's power to 50%. Residents are advised to dress warmly and buy winter gear at MiserCo.

[xofelf]

Apparently I didn't post my plan here before I went off to bed like I intended, whoops.

Take two ships from planet 3, and one each from planet 2 and 4. And send them towards planet 5. Thank.

[Mizzytastic]

And onto the alliances phase

First

xofelf

, then

T-Bone

, you can ask for alliances.

[xofelf]

Open offer, in exchange for NOT Parasiting against you the next time you are on the defense.

[Mizzytastic]

To be clear although

xofelf

has asked everyone,

T-Bone

can still ask any of the other players as well

[T-Bone]

Open offer, because I am sure to win this encounter, if you'd like free defensive rewards. Yes, even you, Shadow, are able to join my alliance. You can start making up for all of the ships you have mercilessly sent to the warp.

[Mizzytastic]

Sounds like all of you can ally with either of them. Let's go!
