Apologies to anyone who's 2h file got rejected in the last hour or so. I was tinkering, and made a mistake (deleted SmokyBat from its list of known games, somehow). Anyway, it's fixed now, and I'll resend your turns.

Re: SmokyBat - Newbie game - ongoing - Gossip
 

Okay, Schaedelbaron's the only player I found a rejected 2h for - I've resubmitted his turn. If I missed anyone, please resend your turns.

Re: SmokyBat - Newbie game - ongoing - Gossip
 

I think I emailed out a turn. I won't be able to resubmit it until 11 or so, though. Though sometimes I've botched the sending of the turns, myself, by forgeting attachments or not clicking send.. Anyways, it looks like I've got more than enough time to send it in again.

great... pretender killed on turn 9 and greatly upsetting my spell plans

It comes, from beyond the plateau of Leng. It comes through time and space. Ones mind reels amidst the chaos and its most foul odor. From beyond Yuggoth and through alternate realities it comes. It arrives through the Void Gate. It arrives to serve.

Well it appears my overture to Jotunheim has gone disregarded. My mistake for not attacking them outright. Well, now I know who I'll first be waging war against.

At least a quadruple bless. Attack +2, Defense +2, regenerates 2 hitpoints a turn, 2 extra reinvigoration. And thanks to divine + bless, 18 morale total. Bah.

Nice spin.

You attacked me, not the other way around.

Re: SmokyBat - Newbie game - ongoing - Gossip
 

True. It's all spin. And I did attack you first. But as I warned you, I consider that province essential to my border, and I do know who I'll first be waging war against. I didn't really give diplomacy a serious chance, I'll admit, nor give the games slow-*** communications a chance. But I did offer to pay blood price for the province, in money or whatever. So, to be fair, for the record, you're hardly the aggressor or whatever, but as I consider that single province a key component to my defensive line, so help me, I consider it a state of war until its under my control. It's within two spaces of my capital, and on my side of thin landbridge. As it is, you need hold only that province, while that one province forces me to defend more of my side.

And somehow, despite being completely innocent, your bless nation is bringing enough giants to overwhelm 25 pd points and forty soldiers. Such virgin innocence. You're now one step from my capital. See why I thought it was a strategic necessity to hold that province?

Re: SmokyBat - Newbie game - ongoing - Gossip
 

I understand and totally agree with your aggressive stance on other nations being within two of your starting province.

In my opinion there shouldn't be only 3 provinces between any starting positions.

I won't go down without a fight- I have some backup plans.

That said, I won't mind losing. I've learned at least two valuable lessons. Since I haven't lost or given up yet, I'll stay silent. But if I do lose, I'll offer a brief, succinct AAR in this thread, describing things I could have done differently to give myself a much greater fighting chance.
