The emails say "Turn 64" but that's a mistake.

Re: Turn 68
 

Turn 68 is now out.

Let's say that turns will be due on Thursday night. The turns for SOME folks take a long time to play, so I hear. We Giants, on the other hand, are quick and nimble.

Jurri Ascends!
 

I am pleased to announce that the ultra-excellent Ygorl will be spared the duties of hosting this game while I am away.

Congratulations, Jurri! Once again... please see Lulu in the back room for your prize.

Re: Jurri Ascends!
 

Congrats Jurri for a well deserved and hard earned victory http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You have really assembled one scary army at 162, there was nothing all of us together could do to stop it.

Re: Jurri Ascends!
 

Congrats to my semi-ally. Did he liberate my C'tisian capital from the evil Sauromatian invaders?

Re: Jurri Ascends!
 

Whoa! That was a bit surprising http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I was sure QM would airdrop another 30+ seraphs and ream my army but good. It sure was dang hard to get the last capital: well defended Bluebird, QM et Izaqyos!

I had quite literally nothing at all in reserve, too, so had my army been repelled that would have been it for me. When I started attacking Pasha, I for a while planned to cast to cast Sea of Ice with lotsa gems to defend against the gangbang he was trying to scare me off with, and just sit it out in the ocean (casting Wrath of the Sea once gems permitted: on a map that's mostly coast it would have been fun to try), but when it didn't come, I decided to risk it all on a mad dash to the nearest capital.

All in all it was one of the more difficult games that have ended in my favor (and certainly the most close), beginning with that punk Ewierl repelling my assault and ending with the uncanny Wraithlord very nearly ruining me with his 'mistakes' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Early R'lyeh sure is crappy, the only reason I did this well because the map has so much water. And because certain players were too passive for their own good http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif With a victory condition like this, you gotta attack, attack, attack.

djo: the last of my capitals was the vile Arcoscephalean den of sin. Ygorl never did attack me, unless those Disease demons were his instead of Boron's.

Anyway, off to see Lulu... Thanks, Pasha, for the hosting and thank you all for the game!

Re: Jurri Ascends!
 

Those disease demons were indeed courtesy of me. Izaqyos told me that you were about to take 162, thus ending the game, so I had to send something nasty your way. Too bad it wasn't enough. Good game, everyone, especially the victorious squid-lords. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Jurri Ascends!
 

Yeap, some players (me included) were too passive in this game, yet you had some balls there to go against everyone. You know, I think I could have taken one VP from you, one of the ex Neifel VPS, but I chose not to do so because I wanted the bulls eye to be painted on your back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Obviously, I miscalculated strategically.

I must say that I really appreciate how you stuck to your aggressive plan and made that bold play pay for you. Another lesson learned from the Jurri institution for dominions strategy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
