I’ll send a sneak attack challenge to @ineffablebob!

Both at Level 2 at time of challenge…

AlienInCA (@craiggiarc) earns 1 star
AlienInCA (@craiggiarc) earns 1 prestige points

Challenge inbound for @Dave_Perkins (Level 2)

Oh my. AlienInCA and I are should both be booted right out of the Blob faction, the way we both slowly, slowly limped to finish line.

ron 2 > @craiggiarc -13
+1 prestige = 4 total
2/2 stars, so promoted to level 3

New challenge to @gpxxxtreme (level 2); me = level 3

That was painful!

ineffablebob (lvl 2) defeats @CaseyRobinson (lvl 3), 5 to -10
ineffablebob earns 1 star and is now lvl 3!
ineffablebob earns 3 prestige points

Didn’t think I was going to survive that last turn, but the Lt came up just short of enough damage to take me out.

New challenge to that slimy blob, @craiggiarc!

Someone ate my reply. Second time this has happened. Strange.

Okay, anyway, I finally won a game. Yippee. Defeated poor Thraeg 24 to minus 6 with a huge last turn. Even better news, I’m going back to school! I forced three discards, which doesn’t make me King but I’ll take any honors and awards at this point.

+1 Prestige +1 Star

I’ve also lost the quote ability. This is weird.

Challenging @robthomasson

That’s odd, because I can see your earlier reply right above the second one. Did you ignore yourself?

Defeated @caseyrobinson (capncostello) 19 to minus 16 including nine forced discards, which gets me membership into the exclusive and ritzy Star Empire School. Tuition was jacked up to 60k credits this year. Unfair. I have to take out monstrous loans, and I do mean monstrous. I had to go to the V’ril K’thrl to get the funds. They are incredibly hairy. Did I mention BIG?

I guess that means:

  • 3 Prestige
  • 1 Star

You have to make someone discard 4+ cards on a single turn, at some point during the game. Now I understand your earlier question about this, @Zebracadabra!

Thraeg > CapnCostello for +3 prestige and +1 star. And I’ll rechallenge him since nobody else is up to level 3 yet and there seems to be no reason to challenge anyone below the max level.

Poop. It did sound a tad easy…

No wins to report, but new challenge to @ineffablebob on the way.
