Cosmic Encounter | Encounter 8 | Farren

[the worst]

on reflection, the shadow accepts this ceasefire.
i discard, and draw another card.

[Mizzytastic]

the worst

draws a

Blue

encounter card.

Could you please choose a

Blue

ship to send to the warp with your power. You will then have an encounter with

Allomancer

in their home system.

[the worst]

the warp devours one ship from blue-5.
the shadow then launches four ships (one from each purple-planet) at blue-5.

[Mizzytastic]

Well you conveniently covered the launch phase for me as well so... onto alliances.

First

the worst

, then

Allomancer

, you may offer an alliance to any of the other players. They can then choose between any alliances that were offered.

@

xofelf

: Parasiting your way onto an alliance, or gonna wait and see what is out there?

[xofelf]

IS IT TIME FOR AN ALLIANCE AND FRIENDMURDER?

I will wait until they invite or not before I decide to insist upon being invited to a party.

[the worst]

to all of my future subjects,

i, the great and mighty shadow, demand your ear for a moment.

few opportunities of this nature will manifest. glance now upon the might of the warpish's empire, and ask yourselves a question. when you are done killing each other, will this creature be weaker, or more powerful still?

join me in conquering blue-5. i cannot guarantee we will have another moment of such fortune.

[xofelf]

Mmm, yeah, no, I was already in for friendmurder. Was gonna choose ducky anyways, I just wanted to be wooed.

I will contribute 2 ships from 3, and 1 each from 2 and 4. Aesthetics are important.

[T-Bone]

Is that an invite? I'll contribute a ship from yellow 1 and 2 if so.

[the worst]

yes, but you're implicitly acknowledging me as your future overlord.
pride seems a small price to pay to overpower the warpish.

[Farren]

I will wait until Warpish chooses whether to make any invitations before making my choice.

[the worst]

fitting that the chosen should be so choosy.

[Allomancer]

Chosen, please join me in this fight. Remember, if the Shadow wins, the Miser will already gain his second foreign colony. We cannot allow this to happen.

[the worst]

the miser lacks long-term power; he is not a real threat.

[Farren]

Choosing to be the front-runner is to invite every hand turned against you. But we have not reached that point yet. I appreciate your offer, Warpish, but must decline.

Join the offense

3 ships - one each from Green 1,2,3.

[Mizzytastic]

And now for planning. Main players, please send me your encounter cards

[Mizzytastic]

the worst

has another regroup phase.

He doesn't have any ships in the warp so...

Onto the destiny phase.

the worst

has drawn a

Wild

destiny card. He may choose any player to have an encounter with in their home system. He may also choose any player's ship (not necessarily the same player) to send to the warp.

[the worst]

the warp devours one ship from yellow-1. the shadow then sends one ship from each of purple-1, purple-2 and purple-3 to yellow-1.

[Mizzytastic]

Onto the launch ph...

Onto alliances

You know how it goes, first

the worst

and then

T-Bone

ask for allies, and then allies get to respond.

@

xofelf

: As you said to me on discord, now is the time to consider ALLIANCE AND FRIENDMURDER

[the worst]

parasite. Chosen. We have seen the cost of underestimating the Miser before. Come forth with me now. Let us not repeat that mistake.

[xofelf]

FRIENDMURDER? :O I'VE BEEN SUMMONED??????

Yes, I'm down. Uh 2 from that one colony, and then 1 each from 2 and 4.
