The server is back up. 24 hours until forced hosting.

I would love to dedicate the tattered remains of my empire to the task of slowing down QM and Turin as much as I can, but I have to admit it seems unlikely that I could so enough to let Taurent and Panther defeat Hubris and Aku or to let Hubris and Aku defeat Tauren and Panther.

Re: news of the world
 

I am heading to Washington DC for a business trip and will likely stale on the next turn.

Not that it matters, for I will be dead soon. QM/Turin have the game won easily right now anyway.

Re: news of the world
 

Hm. Well if Marignon is nearly dead to Ermor, then maybe I should try to hold out against Pangaea/Arco long enough to let Ermor/Ctis get a tie for first. :-)

Re: news of the world
 

Server down again?

Re: news of the world
 

Yeah, but C'tis is nearly dead also and Abysia is in no danger of dying anytime soon.

You can't possibly hold out long enough unless everybody in the game gangs up on the Arco/Pan team to keep you from dying. We did discuss doing exactly that but decided to let the game end naturally instead with them as the winner.

Re: news of the world
 

Okay! I've set the server back up. My apologies -- I upgraded the operating system and encountered all sorts of problems.

I've ordered my remaining troops to fiercely resist any incursions from the notorious Pangaeaites.

But I also don't mind if we all praise the gods of Pangaea and Arcoscephale and enthrone them forever.

End of the world
 

Looks like the game will end in the next move or two. It also looks like both C'tis and I managed to avoid dying before the game ended. I almost feel a moral vicory on that! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

It is too bad the game will end soon since my partner Abysia is now destroying huge Ermor armies with nearly no losses. If the last TC province could only survive for another 40 turns or so, my team could achieve a joint victory! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: End of the world
 

Ctis doesnt even do his turns for like 15 turns now so it isnt exactly fair. He has staled besides the past 15 turns in a row so maybe over 20 turns. Also losing a few hundred undead is nothing. In another Ermor game where I won I was losing over 1k undead every turn and it didnt even bother me.

Re: End of the world
 

Speaking of staling, I have been too. If no one objects I just assume we call the game now, Turin is out of town and I don't really feel like managing the mop up.

My two remaining commanders thumb their noses at you through the gaping holes in the walls of our keep!
