Time for encounter #5, starring the Yin-yang!

The Yin-Yang would not stand for such a flagrant rejection of balance. 4 ships towards the weakest planet? Such a transgression, when the Yin-Yang had already informed the Voyager of its terms! The Yin-Yang knew the Voyager could not be trusted after all. Let that attack be a message of what the Yin-Yang can do when balance is disrupted...

To restore balance, I will regroup towards Planet E.

The Yin-Yang speaks of balance, but while the Voyagers offered fair terms for the inconvenience of invasion, the Yin-Yang demanded a loss of ship and card with no recompense. The Voyagers invited peace, the Yin-Yang responded with spite. The imbalance is yours, neighbor.

You have exchanged 4 ships for 4 cards. Both are rewards that can be obtained if the defense wins. You have lost a negotiation, but we have lost our greatest weapon. This seems like a fair recompense to us. Balance does not always mean peace. Balance is simply righting the scales that have been tipped. We tipped our scales in favor for you. We are now righting them. Do not presume to correct us on the meaning of balance, outsider.

(now imagine this post and the last one was spoken in eerie unison)

You don't get to take credit for a reward that you never offered. You wanted a world where others sacrifice while you benefit, do not be shocked when you are met with defiance.

However avaricious the Yin-Yang may be, it is no excuse for the Voyagers to break oath. We will fulfill our contract and find you a planet, but make demands of us again at your own peril.

The ship returns home. Destiny is drawn: Orange.

The Yin-yang will encounter the Voyager!

But before that, it is Cruise Ship time.

The cruise ship is going to pull up at home and reload itself with two ships from C

Two happy green tourists board the cruiseship.

It is now time for LUNCH, or rather, LAUNCH.

The Yin-Yang will launch towards Voyager's Planet D. We will attempt to be as transparent as possible, so we suggest you do the same. We have an 04 attack card we are planning to use. We will not invite any allies, as we do not feel you need to be punished any more. This is simply to fulfill our bargain. We will have witnesses instead, in the Laser, Reactor, and Tourist.

How many ships will be launched?

I think he's waiting on my response, while I'm waiting on a rules question in my QT

Eh, it was probably a longshot ruling anyways (don't worry it wasn't anything designed to screw you)

We've got an Attack 01 with your name on it Yin-Yang, show us what you got!

3 ships to planet D, one each from ABC.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 3
Defense: VoyagerD(3)

Offense invited nobody.

Does the defense invite anyone?

This has been the bloodiest diplomatic tirade the Voyager has ever seen. The Voyagers will not allow any more needless casualties. No allies.

It is time for Planning then. Send in your cards.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 3
Defense: VoyagerD(3)

Yin-yang plays a 04! Total is 7.
Voyager plays a 01! Total is 4.

If nobody objects, the Y-yang will take the planet, and may decide to have a second encounter.

Consider our bargain fulfilled. We will retreat for now.

Just a future warning: The Yin-Yang do not respond well to double-speak and/or treachery.

I'll be away for a day, so the dramatic Resolution shall happen on Saturday

Okay, I still had time to resolve this before vanishing.

The voyagers escape into the warp, as the yin-yangs settle down.

Will the Yin-yangs have a second encounter?

Yeah, okay. As long as I don't draw Orange again.

Encounter #6 begins!

Time for Regroup phase.

to D, please

Ship returned!

Drawing Destiny: Green. Tourist is the defense.

Speaking of tourists, its Cruise Liner time!

Lets just continue the circuit, and head to the reactor system (doing nothing else).
