cosmic and other stuff

I was supposed to wake up and have lunch with Drew and Martin, but they didn't call me or my phone didn't ring or something and Martin left town before I woke up. Bleh.

Unfortunately it also means I sort of woke up fairly late for getting over to Nykkel's house for board games and stuff. ("Me: I just woke up, so I dunno if I'll make it by 5." "Him: You have at least an hour and a half, what's the problem?" "Me: Gotta go check on all my shops in PP to make sure none of them have imploded. Stupid economy fluctuations." "Him: *rolls eyes*") And worse, I-5 was totally totally hosed from some football game or something. So I get to 80th and I-5 and think... hm.. maybe I should take another route.

It took me 45 mins to get there (usually takes 10-15 tops on I-5) using Lake City Way, because I kept making wrong turns. But I got there. Eventually. At like 6:20. They had just started a game of Cosmic, so I convinced them to restart since only 2 people had taken turns so far. So we did. It was looking to be a good game for a bit, at least for me, since I was Gorgon/Warpish, but a bunch of stuff happened, including Farren stealing my Warpish and DJ having to leave and whatnot that made it a sort of "who cares" game for a bunch of us. Infact, to be honest, I forget who won :)

We took a break halfway through to go for pizza, so by the end of the game it was a little after 10pm and Phaedrus had lost most of his brains, so he went home, Farren was tired so he went home, I had a headache so I hung out a few minutes to chat and then I went home too.

Odd thing is, I got home and still had a headache, so I curled up with Baseball's Forgotten Heroes, which I'm about halfway through, and fell asleep after reading another 40 pages or so, around 11:30pm. Got up at 6:30am and I haven't been able to get back to sleep. Sigh. We'll see how I last out the day.

Sorry, hopefully I'll be back soon.

Braaaaaaains.

You know, I've now spent two hours searching the net for some sort of vaguely coherent answer to "Do you still get consolation if (Vampire, Fungus, Void, etc.) steals your tokens", and I still don't think I've found the "right answer". It looks like Mayfair even flipflopped on the basic "Does Zombie get consolation?" issue; they said in an Encounter magazine that Zombie doesn't, but then said in Simply Cosmic that, yes, Zombie does.
