Damn, joining both sides has drawbacks :D

(Not sure this is required but I will use all 3 ships on A to defend)

Better benefits of being on the winning side - you get a planet, and don't lose tokens to ME!
Well, erm, I was actually going to let the defender choose if I should assassinate or not, since it's painful both ways (and probably choose the opposite). But I'm cool with letting it stand since there is now reason to not assassinate Grudge, and I can't be unbiased anymore.You are required to assasinate a ship (note your power says use and not may use).
I'll hold off my alliance choice until I see what Mimic and Remote do.You can always send a CO saying something like "If Mimic does XYZ and Remote does ABC, I'll ally with W ship(s)".
You must use your power, it's mandatory.
I got with Grudge. 8)

No problem. The few ships you all have remaining in the game the easier it'll be for me to mop up.

Ah, okay, I see that now. I saw the emphasized use[/i] and thought it was optional. Well, then, take that, Grudge!
Hmm, interesting that Void is targeting Grudge's weaker planet. He would only remove three ships instead of four if he wins. I question how certain he is to win.

You're bluffin'.
Joining Void is lose-lose. If we win, we still lose 4 ships thanks to the Grudge. If we lose, we lose the committed ships PLUS a ship from the Grudge. Neither of those options seems palatable to me, especially with ship-sniper Shadow and ship-eater Void in play. A first colony's not worth that Catch-22.
Joining Grudge may be risky - our ships, our precious ships! - BUT at least provides an actual benefit if we win!
Mimic sends 2 ships to the Defense, from Planets A and B.

At the request of our mod to post in thread:
Grudge revives 1 Ship in support.
Don't spend it all at once now, ya'hear?
Oh, should Galz's post say "receives?" As in, Void is sending 1 ship to ally with Grudge? The word "revives" confused me. Phonepost autocorrect?
Or nm the wild does that.
Or nm the wild does that.
My understanding is that the Wild Fido I played forces you to draw the Attack 01.
Not like you can win, anyhow, I'm strongerer than you, plus, people will ally with ME!
I will send 3 ships 1 from B, 1 from C and 1 from D to the aid of remote.Try refreshing it.
Axxle is the game board accurate? I still have 2 ships on Green A?
I like how with not having 8 players this game actually seems to run at a decent speed.
Also that worked Axxle thanks.
Im excited that because Gruj and Galz are both online another turn will start soon!
Remote draws a Wild destiny. Please select a player to attack.
A question:Because you didn't need to play your reinforcements to give you the win. Did i read your CO wrong?
I don't know what kind of CO Void gave, but why did he play Reinforcements before me?
Oh, I didn't include a wild Destiny for my sniping CO.You have to target the person the offense targets, so your COs cover it.
Hmm, Remote's 2 ships are a tempting target, but I really appreciated him allowing me to tag along in that last fight. I will instead focus on Void B, because Void scares the crap out of me.

So we're waiting for shadow to ask for allies? ::)Shadow, ask for allies, for please.
has the ship-eaters on his side?Void can only use his power as a main player, unless he has his Super Flare.
Void will regret this.
Interesting scenario. Remote: help me understand why I should back you, instead of joining the team that hasn't yet used up any of its cards <i>and</i> has the ship-eaters on his side?

He doesn't have ship eater.
If you back me with 4, we win and you get a colony. Otherwise you get nothing and I get free cards.
I have to back you specifically with 4? You know exactly what's in his hand and that you can beat it with just 1 to spare?
Sorry, I'm not buying that. Not against the biggest hand on the board that hasn't had to use up any of its resources yet.

Grujah goes for epic bluff and plays attack 1
Shadow, let's negotiate, for reals. You do not get anything by playing an attack, except my 4 ships in the warp, and Void gets 3 cards, plus I get compensation 3 cards from your hand. I'd like much more that we exchange colonies, maybe even some cards if you really need some.
I cannot remote you if we make a deal.

I have no intention of tricking anyone, Negotiate is beneficial to both of us.
Bleh, you are giving a up a colony and 3 cards (and giving 3 cards to Void) to kill my 3 ships. Meh.
I am playing a Negotiate, though.
I love how it only took one Forum game of CE, and Galz bemoaning his bad luck at the end of it, for "a hand full of Negotiates" to become our standard taunt :)

I never bemoaned bad luck in anything. When I chose this power, I told Axxle that I was risking self-mutilation because every spec of the Universe would be out to get me. But... How could I resist the pull of the Void? I couldn't!
Plus, my other choices were non-powers really.
My terrible hand with 5 Negotiate's and a Crooked Deal. :(

Mimic stays home, my bad.
As much fun as it is for my agents to backstab your ships out there, I won't betray you, Grujah, by making false promises.
The card I'm playing is not a Negotiate.

Mimic uses his power to draw 7 cards to match Shadow's hand.
Encounter cards please!
Remote, Grudge, Shadow: Where do you want your ships to return?
I will send 1 ships from Green E to aid Mimic
<b>Shadow</b>, I propose a 1-for-1 trade of Colonies. You may land 3 ships of your choice on Mimic A; I land 3 ships of my choice on Shadow A. Such a reciprocal deal appeals to our sensibilities. Your thoughts?
Point of order/question for Axxle: can we actually negotiate the number of ships used to establish a colony? I had assumed without checking that we could, but upon rereading the rulebook it only says "In a deal, a player may trade cards and/or allow his or her opponent to establish one colony on any one planet where the player already has a colony." It doesn't say anything about whether the "opposing" side can negotiate the number of ships used to establish such colony.
unfortunately his assassins' power demands that I establish a stronger hold (as I am doing).

If I understand correctly, our ships go back home and then we negotiate, which means we could set the number of ships.
If the number of ships is not negotiable, then I would accept your terms. Otherwise, I'd rather only put one ship there.unfortunately his assassins' power demands that I establish a stronger hold (as I am doing).
Yes, enjoy our hospitality and sleep tight. Never mind the sliding walls and eyeholes in the paintings. You're perfectly safe here.

I dont what Grudge has, and I'm going to lose.
Mimic invites all races to ally in defense.
But, Mimic, he still has less cards than you, so you'll have to discard.
Axxle, in "to keep me honest" part, Void only has 19 ships.Noticed. Forgot to send his assassinated ship to the warp.
But, Mimic, he still has less cards than you, so you'll have to discard.
I am more likely to join Mimic at this point, though. Grudge is just weak with 3 cards.
Ally with Mimic and win? Get a colony lose 3 ships
Remember what he has, people. Remember what you all saw him take.
Why does the game log show everyone with a grudge token :SNope.
Do not ally with anyone? Grudge loses? Lose 3 ships, Grudge wins? Lose 1 ship.
Belay that belay! (That doesn't even make sense)
...says the guy responsible for Void keeping its power.
Why do you need to pick on Void? he is by far in last place right now. Your assassination ability is far more fear inducing.
It would not surprise us if Grudge opts for negotiation regardless of our response. You lack for cards, and are interested in our own. A Negotiation played by you is a smart ploy. Certainly a smarter ploy than that Attack 01 in your pocket.
But in any case: our evolution is not yet complete. We shall respond to your offer once our dogs have played fetch.
Grudge, we are strongly concerned that you may be trying to sneak a victory using Attack 01 by convincing us to play Negotiate. Your efforts to derail our negotiations with Shadow also have us leery of trusting you under such circumstances. Perhaps another day, when your incentive to cheat is not so great. But today, Mimic will respond to your approach with force.
The Hell?
Mimic, I though you'd have him. :o
Interesting I wasn't invited to the defense.
Letting Grudge possibly pick up his 4th colony? Dangerous. Though I suppose Void sees this as "all-or-nothing."
Mimic invites Shadow and Remote to assist in the defense. Now that the chaff has been discarded in the tussle with Grudge, evolution can only favor us. Oh and incidentally - rather than waste my best current cards against Grudge's Attack 40, I saved them instead for an occasion like this.

Anytime Grujah is drunk posting, I feel compelled to support his endeavors.
I'm not sure I should reward my allies for fighting while drunk.
Though it pains me to suggest this, Mimic, I would offer you your fourth colony while you grant me my third. It prepares me to win if you don't succeed in getting your fifth colony, but if you fail your next attack, that's pretty much irrelevant anyway.
And drunken allies would go home.

Remote reveals... a Morph (Hey! Mimic is the one that's supposed to be copying people!)
Mimic reveals a Negotiate.
A wild Deal appears!
Void feels like the third wheel so he goes home (or to whatever planet will take him)
So before we get into deal-making, can I get some clarity on what we can/can't offer in terms of cards? Like, can one side say, "I'll give you cards X Y and Z" as part of a deal, and then - if the deal is accepted - that side does indeed have to hand over those particular cards?If you offer something in a deal you have to be able to carry out out and have to carry it out. You can't say "I'll give you an Attack 40" when you don't have one in hand. You can't say "I'll give you an Attack 40" if you do have it and then not give it to them. You do not have to be explicit in the cards you give either. You can say "I'll give you an attack higher than ____." or "I'll give you a flare card" or "I'll give you a random card from my hand."
Void gets screwed morph gets used...b-e-a-utiful.
- Rifts (I assume if you handed me a Rift as part of this deal it would blow up in my face?)Cards in deals are given, not taken. Rifts will not explode during a deal.

Meh, Mimic remote would be good to have now :-\ Also, Galz, I didn't know I'd hurt you this bad, really ;DNo, but IRL you guys are only supposed to have a minute to discuss the terms, so I'd appreciate you start with the proposals, something like:
Axle question: what does constitute a proposal? Is talking about our cards considered a proposal?
You guys are the worst negotiators EVER
You guys are the worst negotiators EVER
Proposal: I will give you a colony, the General Flare, and two more Flares IN EXCHANGE FOR a colony and three Rewards-backed non-crap* cards.
* "non-crap" means "a card that is (1) not a negative Attack card, (2) not a Negotiate/Crooked Deal, and (3) not Kicker x0."
I've just realized if I played an attack I would release mimic of his power, right? :OMimic can only offer you a colony on a planet where Mimic has ships, but he can even offer to give you a colony on one of his foreign colonies.
From these 2 planets whre I have 3, put one from each on mimic's one where he has 0 ?
Like why did you give him a colony, just counter offer without colonies GRR.

Actually, that would have been a bad time to remove Mimic's power. He has a strong 16-card hand. Removing his power now would result in Mimic never having to pare down his cards.
The best time to remove his power is after a Hand Zap or perhaps after he's forced to discard down to 3.

I also put cotton in my ears to not hear Grudge's grudging.GRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!
Does this means I cannot get new remotes, or I cannot activate these ones either?You can't do anything with your power. Even if you had things that weren't "uses" of your power they'd still be unavailable to you.

I targeted Remote B because it was empty of Remote ships. Did I misinterpret the spreadsheet?
Grudge also read it as 2, and immediatly regrets his decision, but hopes remote sees the value in stopping Shadow from having 4 colonies.Since no decisions have been made since then, you can reverse your choice.
Wait a second.Sorry, forgot a CO:
...I take 2 rewards now?Yes, but...
2 cards please!Rewards or Cosmic?
I'll attack remote B with 1 ship from Mimic A.from Void A?
Want to work something out via negotiation gruj?

How the hell do I always end up hitting Grudge? Seriously? Bleh. Lemme think.Remote has 4 colonies, shadow has 3
My fresh ship from the Warp will attack Grudge B (yes, B as in "Boy"), and I'll invite all who own 3 colonies (Mimic, Remote) to join me.

I am, though I have been feeling rather beaten so I'm interested to hear your offer before I make a claim on what I'll play.
Waaait.. For defender rewards I can ressurect ships?yes
Sadly, there appears to be no way out of this that doesn't involve my losing a colony. Mimic sends one ship from Mimic A to the defense.Mimic loses his power.

Still on board to deal Void, I obviously do have attack cards (thats public knowledge)
I am aware that this means I don't get cards do you still take the planet? (players don't get rewards)
I am aware that this means I don't get cards do you still take the planet? (players don't get rewards)He still lands on the planet. Getting a colony does not count as "rewards" (if he had allies they'd get a colony too)
How many is that?
Does any of you have a card zap, just in case?
Not sure, I think I can take it alone.. but ok, I invite everybody.
I will ally with Remote and send him 4.
2 from Grudge C, and 2 from Grudge D.
WHEN the battle is won I will return the ships to where they came from and take 2 reward cards and 2 artifact cards.

Hey, it's all the better for me not having you there. I just find it curious that anybody would throw away a chance at free stuff. Either I win, or I lose. If I win, it's game over. If I lose, the defense gets free rewards. But hey, like I said, no complaints here. I just don't see the logic behind sitting home.
He hasn't won.
He hasn't won.
He won the conflict if no one does anything he wins. (5 colonies)
Where do people want their ships? There's a ton!

Can you do this? For some reason I assumed planet size was limited to up to 4 ships per faction. But maybe not?
So wait Filch flare allows you to stop the card I played AND play it yourself on the thing I was targetting so its a card zap that allows you to play it?
Filch Wild: When any artifact or flare card is being played, you may discard a negotiate card from your hand to steal it. The stolen card has no effect {on its intended victim}, going into your hand instead.
And as I recall, Mimic has the Hand Zap that needs to be played so desperately on him.
Although I think there's another one in the Rewards deck.
I have to admit that these new Flares have thrown me for a loop. I was hoarding Flares because I still treated them as one-shots.
But I heard that the purpose is to make Flares more than just throwaway cards. Mimic has an excellent grip right now, but complaining about lopsidedness in Cosmic Encounter is like complaining that rain gets your hair wet.
When Mimic loses his hand, he'll be a mere mortal like the rest of us. We just don't know how long that'll be and whether it happens before someone wins the game.

I tried! Despite my early-game slaughter I gave it my best!
Unfortunately, it's very unlikely I'll see another turn at the helm. :(

I really DID want to negotiate, but I couldn't stand the embarrassment of being defeated by an Attack 01, and after two previous Negotiates, I couldn't be sure you actually HAD a third. Plus, if you beat me there, my Attack 23 was going to go to waste on an opportunity to be the Offensive with 4 Colonies.

Spoilers, I STILL have a negotiate.
What I STILL don't understand, is why Mimic and Shadow didn't ally with Remote against me. Especially Mimic. It made NO sense to me. Even knowing that Remote had the Shadow Flare in case I won... He had Mobius Tubes. Losing ships to the warp was irrelevant to him, and the opportunity of going would be to gain more cards if the Defense DID win.
<b>Play Filch Flare on Space Junk.Done. Just to let you know, the space junk was played at the end of the last encounter, so you have a flare use for this encounter.
If I obtain it, play Space Junk on the Attack 23.
Add 2 ships to Mimic D and 3 ships to each of my other colonies.</b>
Grudge, where do you want your ships?
The warp. For a limited time all ships are freeeeeee~Grudge, where do you want your ships?
Hmm? Where they came from
I had posted a question to you on the QT. Could you read it and give me an answer? Thank ya.Done before you even asked.
Is Remote inviting anybody?
oops, never mind.
Shadow sends a ship from Shadow A, C, D, and E to aid Grudge instead.
Not wholly sure how it benefits me to aid the offense. Not that I can change my alliance now, but I am curious about this help.

You get a Colony and go next. Like this, you get nothing.

But Shadow already has a colony there. All I would do is move ships from one planet to another, which would be a great defense against that asshole Shadow.
And then there's the Grudge. He's not a very forgiving opponent. He gets all angsty.
As an aside, I apparently had a dream that Remote played an Attack 40 and stomped us all. I was actually surprised to see that we haven't gotten to encounter cards yet. Of all the things to dream of…
Was not my plan. Plan was to encounter you in future and make a dual-win deal.
Well I'm out guys any ally have a reinforcement they want to play to draw out more of remotes cards, prevent him from winning this turn or to keep ships and get rewards?
I'm going to assume Mimic want's to play Wild Trickster
This is never gonna finish ;D
3 Rewards deck, 1 normal please.
3 Rewards deck, 1 normal please.
Nope.3 Rewards deck, 1 normal please.
I can't recall off the top of my head if I get any as a main player and I have to head out but as to not hold this up I will take the same if I am eligible
3 Rewards deck, 1 normal please.Shadow draws the same.
<b>Play Wild Fido</b>.Yes.
Axxle, I believe my current hand size is 6 / 0, not the noted 4 / 0 on the sheet.Wrong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjwaqZfjIY)
same ships as last time.... ok.

No rewards, I use Grudge Flare.

I sacrifice Mimic B.
Can I rescue ship in compensation? If not, I'll take all but 1 Cosmic. Otherwise, I'll take 2 cosmic less and put two ships on Mimic A.
I sacrifice Mimic B.Because you played a Crooked Deal and had no ships in the encounter you get 1 card in compensation from Grudge. Do you target a Cosmic backed card or a Rewards backed card?

Grudge does not ask for allies. Grudge offers to negotiate with mimic as they are the only players that would be mutually benefited from agreeing to give each other a colony.

I'm not sure Mimic has any Negotiates left however. He's thrown a ton away to use his Flare that grabs cards as they're being played.
Still, I would love for everybody to be at 4 so that I can invite everybody whom I'm not facing to attempt to win on my turn. ;D

I'd love to negotiate with you Grudge, but unfortunately I don't have a card to do it.
I'm being up front about this so that, if/when my turn comes around, you'll be willing to join me on offense (the same way I joined you on offense during your first encounter this turn).
As for this encounter, Mimic invites no one.

Void's turn begins.
Mimic plays Rift 3(R) retrieving 3 ships from the warp and placing it on foreign colonies.
Void retrieves a ship from the warp. At this point I realize I forgot to retrieve one of Grudge's ships last encounter. Where do you want it, Grudge and Void?

Although, Grudge took a Mimic card...and Mimic's had a pretty strong hand.
Must ponder.
Axxles not here but...Indeed he does.
Grudge plays a kicker card face down.
Void plays Remote flare. I'll just grab your extra ship of your home colony unless you have another plan, Shadow.
Can ships return as a reward?Yes, and I put 2 on each since you have the ships from the warp and the defense.
I want them back at my foreign colonies (1 on each).
Well, technically, I was right that Grudge's hand sucked.
I was just hoping that Void's hand sucked less.
We're all a sad bunch now, aren't we?
Hmm.
Mimic launches 4 ships at Grudge B, 1 each from Mimic D, Mimic E, Remote A, and Grudge A.
Mimic invites no one.
Grudge, I have the means to negotiate now if you're interested. So... interested?
Wait...I'm pretty sure I discard my hand and draw 8...If you have no encounter cards, you discard and draw back up to 8 right before encounter cards are selected.
Someone should take this fine opportunity to hand-zap me.
Launch 4 ships at Void A. Drain home colonies, and leave 2 or 3 ships on each of my foreign colonies (don't care which).
Mimic invites no one.

Full is such an absolute term. However, I AM offering victory. I just want in too. I've been destroyed this game. I deserve some sort of compensation. ;D

Needed to sound confident, had to try and convince him that it would be a mistake of sorts.I'm surprised you never used the Kicker x0 to bluff.
Thanks for running these Axxle!You're welcome! I may take a short break before Cosmic IV though. I need to figure out a way to organize COs since I tended to miss some.

Yeah, I have no idea how you do it. I feel tempted to run one myself, but I would have no idea how to do such a thing. I mean, I could lay out a game board and move things around, but that would annoy my wife. I guess I could write a shuffler algorithm and just keep track of cards and pieces.
But first I need to master the FFG version. I'm still reeling from Mayfair obsolescence.
Thank you, Axxle.
Axxle, thanks so much for running this. It's been a great time.
I will certainly never underestimate Mimic's power in the future. I saw that potential.
And it was a great time for Mimic to lose his power. Was that intentional, Volt? If so, brilliant play. I wanted to assassinate your power away, but I knew I had to wait until you had a smaller hand. That never happened.
Also wanted to remove Grudge's power, but that also never happened. It was less scary to me than Void or Remote.

Void is just absolutely one of the scariest powers in the game. It can be super tempting because it IS really powerful, but it's so intimidating to all the other players that they often just won't let you win with it.
Oh god. Void. >.> Do I dare?
Alright, Genius is fun, but it gets you no alliances. Offense won't take you because they don't want you to get cards - And Defense won't take you because they don't want you to get cards.
Plus, being at the mercy of a Hand Zap suuuuucks.
General, while good at collecting cards (kind-of), only works as a Main-Player... and despite our smaller game-size, ehh, I'm not sold. It's only valuable if/when people ally with you - which isn't always the case as Defense, and offers them a little TOO much incentive (imo) as Offense.
So this does indeed leave Void. Also Main-Player only... but man, he's always Nasty and feared!
So I choose: Void! I would like to see the General Flare in the game as well.
