Abysia tries to rewrite definitions of words that existed for thousands of years. I wouldn't call it funny.

Arghhhh!!! Shinuyama is an uncrackable nut!
The Sweep will never fall....

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

What a shame, our gods again didn't meet on the battlefield. The great Malaranthus yearns to spill divine blood. The coward god of Bandar Log did not provide good sport for he fled the battle before our god could put his sword to him. But Grom will hopefully stand and fight, even though the curse of the ancestors has befallen him.

Praise Malaranthus!

P.S.: Congratulations to Lemnos of Arcoscephale, worthy champion of the arena.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

If only Arcos warriors were as good as the Mighty Lemnos. Elephant burger has become the meal of choice in southern Ulm. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Grom has never run from a battle - only into them (and as a result is weary, cursed and crippled). But one day he hopes to break through Shinuyama's impenetrable nest of forts so perfectly placed in mountain passes and swamps. If Ulm fails, good luck to the other nations of Urapara. Better start forging Endless Bags of Wine now because the road to Shin is lean at best.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

As far as I can tell, Lemnos was the only entrant into the Arena. Am I missing something? My messages don't list any arena battles.

Yes, Arcoscephale is quite close to utter collapse, but at the least we hope to be a thorn in the sides of Bandar Log and Ulm until we finally do fall.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Eomi, Ulm was too busy receiving an asswhooping to send any warriors to the arena. 255 Ulmish casualties vs 55 for Shin. And Grom was on the field...now cursed, in addition to his other "issues"

Spacht, I could use some tips when this is over...

This is Og, reporting live at the Shin/Ulm front where Hildegard, Scourge of the Land with 47 kills, was at long last slain herself, in a hail of Shinuyaman arrows.

Sob..sob..

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Well, Ulm may find itself challenged to find more live bodies to throw into the grinder, but Bandar Log seems to have developed performance anxiety, as for two straight months all of the commanders in the kingdom failed to act. Rather, they stood by, apparently frozen with self-doubt, and did nothing. Rumors are afloat that they simply "couldn't take it anymore" or "had better things to do besides get killed for that four-armed freak":-- whatever that means!

Narayana has ordered a series of self-esteem building seminars to get his generals and rishis up to snuff again. The conquest of the known universe will soon recommence.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Yeah, I have noticed that Bandar has staled for 2 turns. I wish he informed me about that...

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Og here reporting another ridiculous slaughter in Dyrfall...
197 dead Ulms vs. 39 Shins. Grom, crippled, cursed and weakened took a blow to the head and now appears to be mute. Unfortunately, he is no longer able to cast the spells his smiths have toiled so long to discover. He was last seen hobbling off to the north to make a last stand at the River of Lost Love, where Shinuyaman armies approach from 2 directions.
