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.

[Galzria]

I got with Grudge. 

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

You're bluffin'.

You're right. I risked 4 ships after having lost 1 to Shadow because I feel like losing them.

Numbers are irrelevant. You cannot win this encounter.

[Voltgloss]

Numbers are irrelevant because my hand is all Negotiates.

FTFY

[Axxle]

Remote sends 4 to defense.  (I assume evenly from home colonies)

[Insomniac]

Stand strong my comrades! Stand with me and you can count on Grudge for when you too are in need! Stand against me and Grudge will make you regret your puny existance!

[Grujah]

Yeah.

Proof's in the pudding my friend.

[Kuildeous]

The Shadow is not fooled by Void's bluster.

The Shadow shall send a ship from B, C, D, and E. Let's make this count.

Defensive allies, please tell me what rewards you want, and how you want me distribute your ships on your planets if you win. (and how they should be distributed in the virtual box if you lose.)

Hear that? No? It's the sound of nothing. Absolute oblivion. It's what awaits each and every one of the 13 ships that oppose me.

Void ships in game: 20.
Total for everybody else: 67 and falling...

[Axxle]

Mimic begins his first turn.

[Galzria]

Hmm, fascinating. That Atk 20 was yummy.

[Insomniac]

Well since there are atk 40s in the game I figured better safe than sorry. And well hey I was gonna lose those cards either way

I thought you might be hungry.

It wasn't worth burning my hand to win that encounter. Wasn't enough on the line for you all.

[Kuildeous]

It is definitely nice to see the QT ask me what rewards I want before I even come to the forum to see a successful battle. Good going, Grudge, now don't hurt us.

[Axxle]

Compensation has been collected and rewards have been distributed.

Mimic draws.... a Purple destiny!  Silly destiny, Mimic doesn't want to attack itself!

Some of Mimic's colonists on his home planet feel funny... Shadow assassinates a ship on Mimic A.

Mimic draws again.  And it's another Green destiny!

Mimic will encounter Grudge.

Please hold off on launching ships and inviting allies till Shadow decides what ship to assassinate.  Feel free to CO your actions though.

[Kuildeous]

And now Mimic sees the downside to the power.

Hmm, I think I shall rain holy vengeance upon Planet A.

[Insomniac]

I don't hurt my allies!

[Axxle]

Mimic: you can now launch ships and invite allies.

Everyone else can give me all the COs they want!  Wheeee!
