Cosmic Encounter - PBP: Deep Space Water

The Lasers are regretfully only able to send a single ship to join the battle, from Laser A.

Also we're going to elect not to use our flare this time around since it wouldn't actually accomplish anything except make Granola get his cards faster.

Laser vacates LaserA. A gambit...

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 4, + Allies: 1 + 1
Defense: VoyagerE(0)

Time for Planning, so Voyager gains eight new cards.

Okay, so, can we do this, or no?

"this" being negotiation

I uh, still have the Quash card though?

Part of me really wants to look at the last two times you offered to negotiate and look at how well that turned out...

But another part of me thinks you're being true and honest this time! For realsies!

Reactor plays Attack 30!
Voyager plays Negotiate!

Anyone has anything to declare?

Tourist plays: Emotion Control!

Good news, you two can now Negotiate!

Where will the Laser and Yin-yang ship return?

Oh boy an attack 30 huh?

Welp, back to Laser A I guess.

You vacated LaserA, pick another place, please.

YYE i guess.

jesus when will this game end

e: not that i WANT it to. just saying, you know?

Oh. Laser B then.

I wouldn't mind if it ended next turn instead of this turn

Hoo dang never thought I'd see that card get played. Thought I'd have to wind up jointing with Jac just to see the end of it. (At this point it isn't the worst prospect, mind)

Colony Swap VoyC for ReactA sound good to you?

Hey Jac, on your next turn you should consider attacking whichever colony has the most enemy ships on it. If you draw yellow (or possibly red?) next turn, I can basically just nuke their entire hand from orbit for you.

Yep. I accept this deal.


Well, I would, if it weren't for a probable other thing

wouldnt a colony swap just end the game with both of your victories?

Hey CB, you should be super cool and let this happen. It'll be great.

Also since Jac can't win next encounter he shouldn't be bringing along any of us one-to-win players with him but I respect the continued focus on my total and complete destruction.

I'm not intentionally focusing on anyone's destruction I just want the game to go on long enough that I can join in the "person who might win" jostling .v
Which uh, I should mention now in advance as well as in reference to what I just did.

Of course this is all dependent on that Quash card not being a bluff, otherwise we won't get to my turn anyway.

I was poking fun at CB. You and I are cool, though you've really gotta figure out something to do with this gnat of a cruise ship that's been circling my system.

Is there a more appropriate place to repeatedly drive a long-haul cruise ship through than the system belonging to the Voyagers?

Your surviving passengers would probably appreciate a system with a few less tourist traps

Whoops sorry RL, I can't put a colony on a planet you don't control. ReactB okay instead?
