This is Machaka National News. The winds have shifted in the Ermor War of Aggression against the peaceful Machaka Jungle Folk.

Vive l’Ulm!” to the favorite Machakan folk tune, “Your Snake Ate my Sister.”

The Great Spider Lord has proclaimed the next week a national holiday for giving thanks to the FREEDOM LEGIONS OF ULM.

On a sad note, the opportunistic giants to the Great Spider Lord’s south have snatched some of the Machakan Jungle. The territory in question had been momentarily overrun by troglodytes belched up from the ground. A spokesman for the Great Spider Lord has expressed concern that this might indicate hostility on the part of the giants, but no such inclinations have been communicated diplomatically. The Great Spider Lord always thought the giants loved to keep to themselves and write mythic haiku.

This is Machaka National News. Fair, unbiased news brought to you by loyal minions of the Great Spider Lord.

The Ermorian bi-annual Bone exhibit has come to town, ghouls and goblins from across the dominion are expected to attend. Most notable of the contestents is "Bare-Bone Beatrice" world renown supermodel in life, Beatrice really knows how to rend flesh! House Ulm and Machaka are encouraged to stop by.

Ermorian Art
 

Ermor's foul attempts at "art" disgust the Great Spider Lord. No real aestesticism could ever truly be contemplated by the mindless undead. They are all about killing. And they do it without art.

Bug in the Jungle going eeek!
 

What is it that makes a nation, I ask! Is it not sovereignty within its borders? Is it not the necessary strength to protect it's holdings? By both counts Machaka fails: it allows troglodytes to run unchecked within its 'borders' and relies on Ulm for protection from outside threats. Truly, it is nothing more than a feeble satellite of the Iron Monarch of Ulm with the Big Bug of Machaka as his *****.

What sort of respect should be given to a 'nation' that has no leader, that has lost its seat of power and whose greatest asset is it's National News network? None at all, and thus I declare all of the lands of Machaka no-man's land, to be taken at will. So I shall!

Bugmaster\'s bodily functions
 

Chamber-pot-maid? Truly it saddens me that the 'Great Spider Lord' needs one! Must be all the raving and subsequent stress... Poor old bugger. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Waterdrop.gif[/img]

Re: Bugmaster\'s bodily functions
 

The Chamber-pot-maid is a luxury, dingle-berry. It means that the GREAT SPIDER LORD does not need to get out of bed in the middle of the cold night. But, a moldy dragon cannot understand such things as luxury. Even his army is made up of mindless vine creatures. Who ever heard of a chamber-pot-vine-ogre? Tsk. Tsk.

So good of Ulm to make the party!

How\'s Ermor doing?
 

Maybe it's time to make pals with Ulm!

Re: How\'s Ermor doing?
 

Did you ever get the sneaking feeling that you made a serious error? Well, that's sort of how I feel now.

But, on the other hand, I didn't like seeing armies massed on my frontier.

Re: How\'s Ermor doing?
 

I have put the game on a 48-h (quickhost) clock so people have more time for their turns. It's been moving along nice and fast, so if someone needs more time for any particular turn, I don't see that being a problem.

Re: How\'s Ermor doing?
 

Heh, you must be reading minds or something, 'coz I was just about to ask for postponing the hosting this friday... This is just perfect! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/PointUp.gif[/img]

An apology to Pythium
 

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I sent the message to everyone critisizing Pythium for going AI after I defeated their main army. If he wanted to go AI, then it is up to him and is none of my business.

So, Pythium, I hope you accept my apology. It was stupid of me.

jeff (aka Pangaea).

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Damn, he has Ghost Riders and Tartarians. Not to mention his immortal DragonLich. Not good for the home team.

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Ah, but you're the away team, being deep in my lands and dominion...

The immortal Dracolich Jurri, who singehandedly crushed Vanheim, who ate Pasha the Dawg and who ****s in the skull of courtesy shall eat the Mother Oak of Pangaea, too, alongside every little forest critter basking under it! Molochs don't taste good, however (as evidenced by the infamous HOI-fanboi), so he'll be lobbed to the bottom of the Well of Misery.

I don't think Azhur got the in-game message, btw, being AI and all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif I'm not sure if I agree with your laissez-faire view, though; consider: playing the game is a joint effort, many people besides oneself devote their time on making it a pleasant experience for all (in the sense that a well-played game is pleasant). One player quitting disturbs the whole game, making it rather inconvenient for the others, especially if the quitter is significant. Certainly it's common courtesy to at the very least inform the other players of such radical changes like going AI, and preferably the reasons for it!

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

I'm sorry about that.. my game didn't go too well from the start (two stale turns by mistake) and the death of my threugs was the last straw. I've had much misfortune in Dom2 MP recently, but that's not really an excuse. I'll make an oath to stay in dom2 MPs from now on at least to turn 30.

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Jurri--

I know we've been allies more or less so far. I know Pangea is still powerful, despite all this talk to the contrary. But...but... YOU STOLE MY HAMMER OF THE FORGE!

I consider it my god-given right, being Ulm and all.

So, if you give me the Hammer of the Forge, I'll consider joining the war on your side still. Of course I may just stay out of the war then and forge stuff. Hehe..

Otherwise I think I'm going to have to help the forest folk. Well, hell, I don't know. This is a tough one. All three of us are powerful.

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Hehee, but weren't you the legendary construction-less Ulm? So what do you need the Hammer for anyways... But sure, you can have it, you have a point about Ulm having nothing else to look forward to as far as magic goes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Only, how far does 'consider' get you, 'cause I'd feel sad if I yielded it for naught... And I might as well take it with me to Tartarus if you should leave me to die in the hands of the green guys! Besides, you know you'll be joining me very soon in that case, as my and Pan's lands combined amount to, like, more than 3/4ths of the map. So sitting this out might be fatal.

The situation is indeed quite interesting, with three strong positions. I guess CU has the upper-hand strategically though, as he isn't yet entangled in a war. Jeffr has the most power in his standing army and the most lands by far, though, so I'm not sure if it matters. The research machine that is Utgård gives me mucho magical power, making me a player too. Not to mention the audacious Dracolich, a terror in his own right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The server seems to be down; I won't be able to take my turn before Saturday evening (GMT), so could you perhaps ensure that it won't host before then? Thank you!

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

What's this? Ulm and the opportunistic giants were allied? Was I just a little bunny pushed out onto the well trimmed grass for the evil Jotuns to gobble up? I demand reparations!

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Pasha, I was on your side the whole way! I couldn't stop Jotunheim...sorry.. I stopped Ermor for you though..

Honest, Jotunheim and I didn't plan that together, he did it against my wishes. The only thing I could have done was to declare war on him.

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Oh, guys, I am out of town right now. I can't connect to the game either. It was thundering a lot when I left, and also my internet was flickering on and off. So, I think either the internet is down (in which case the server will go back up by itself later), or my computer is off (in which case we won't get another turn in until monday or tuesday).

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Nah! Don't worry about it. You did me a big favor against Ermor. I'm just having fun yanking your chain.

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Okay, the server is back up, sorry guys.

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

Humm, can't seem to connect. Is the ip unchanged?

Re: An apology to Pythium
 

It should be the same as before:

68.190.44.112 port 2000

Uh...try again, I guess? That is weird. Right now it is on quickhost, but no set time to autohost, so you have as much time as you need. When we all take turns, I will set it to 48-h quickhost again.
