Yeah thats Blubbernaught!!!!! He recently bailed on another game I am in without notice. Gotta love these wankers.

No manners at all. Just remember his name for future reference NOT to allow into a game.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Oh, so he`s a known staler?
Then how about we start looking for a sub right now?

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Bone Daddy is growing anxious from his desolate wasteland waiting for the strange tentacle monster to take it's turn. He agrees that a sub would be a good idea, although something may have happened to the void, i.e., the internet, or spaceship, i.e., his computer, that's preventing the many tentacled one from taking it's turn. Bone Daddy hears this can sometimes happen to certain soon-to-be enslaved mortals. Perhaps we should get a temporary sub in case he returns?

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I'll search for a temp sub at this point. Temporary/semi-permanent.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Semi Permanent (maybe a month, more if I get horribly massacred in Stumble To Victory, less if I get horribly massacred in this game) sub here. What's the diplomatic background I'm inheriting?

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Hi Knai,

welcome mate, you are in another game with me as well, not sure which one though.

Trust me, this sub is permanent.

Basically the situation is gang up on the Ermor...oh you are a pop killing nation tooooooooo....lol.

I am on the other side of the world, so I think your immediate neighbours would be best suited to help you out.

Oh and thanks for subbing.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Alright, basically. A couple major wars going on. Abysia and Ulm v. Ctis, Ermor v. Patala, Atlantis, and perhaps another. Bogarus and Pangaea vs. Me, while Midgard vs. Pangaea.

Bogarus is using Ermor and C'tis as a distraction to continue undisturbed with his 7-8+ forts, and ridiculous research atm.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

im curious. how is bogarus using c'tis(me) as a distraction? i mean, how distracting can i be? am i distracting in a way, like, a dying dog would be a distraction if he was laying on your porch?

I'm getting some nonsense regarding a CD key violation (which is funny, as I've had no issues in other games and bought the CD), so the latest stale has been caused by that. Hopefully that's the last of this, and future turns will function properly. Though it is questionable how much that will actually help, given the...unique strategy my predecessor was employing. In any case, the transition isn't quite smoothed out yet, but should be soonish, at which point I can take up the position of probably weakest nation until I get out of it.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Well, you're the one tying up his neighbors bar me at the moment. Have been for awhile now, so he has free reign to do what he wants/turtle up. :p

You have time and space, plenty of time and space.

Everyone else is too busy to bother with you. :p

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Yes. This is the second time its been said I am using C'Tis, Pangaea, etc. as a distraction. I'm using nobody as a distraction. I did make one post about Ermor. That was it...

I'm just the favorite whipping boy of Marignon :D

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

he does seem to be giving you a lot of grief, matty. i always take that as a compliment, tho

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

You're playing Bogarus, I can't not try and stop you from late game domination.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Happy Holidays!!

And a tip of the Hat to Marignon and LL!

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

The "banter" between LL and Matty has definitely been worth the price of admission!

I am sure LL is right in what he is saying, but Matt is a master at diplomacy if I may say so.

(Notice careful massaging of both egos so as to be sure not to piss of the eventual winner of that contest.

"In the end Mcloud, there can be only one!"

A fire gem to the first one who can tell me what movie that is a quote from.

Rules: You may call your mother, father, visit the local cinema and ask there, but you cannot use the internet in any form shape or manner!!!!!

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Tch, Highlander. Duh.

Honestly, there's no need to worry about harming our egos. We've actually had quite the conversation via PM (mostly me caving in and giving him advice on things like Communions, even though it's hugely detrimental to my position as is, especially considering the two/three front war and Bogarus being Bogarus, while being completely untouched early game).

Ah well, c'est la vive, eh? :p

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

And the winner is..................... LL.

I was just joshing about the egos, I know Matty better than I know you LL, but I know you are pretty cool when it comes to playing the game in a friendly manner.

I also know your game knowledge leaves me in the dust as well.


Highlander, a classic movie if there ever was one. If you haven't seen it, do your self a favour watch it.

There is also a Highlander 2 and 3. So if you do watch the first one, enjoy it and don't watch the other two, they dishonour the first one they are so bad.

Highlander 3 is so-so, but second movie was utterly horrible.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I also heard Highlander #3 was better than #2, but just as you said,I was also told it was just okay. But after watching #2 I couldn't bring myself to watch #3.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Oh and the music in Highlander #1, all sung by Queen, just rocks.

The album is called Its a Kind of Magic. How many great songs did Queen sing in their career??????

Too many thank goodness, because there is a dearth of similar music today.

Yes yes yes, I know, I am an old fart.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Yea. LL is way all right in my book. I'm even trying to hook him up with some lutefisk.

We've had great PM's back and forth and its all good in my book. If positions were reversed we'd probably both be doing what the other guy is doing now.

LL: You have all the respect in the world from MattyB...NOW START WORRYING ABOUT ERMOR!

And a tip of the hat and a Happy Holidays to Holey and all the other chaps in this game.

Cheers

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I think, Ermor already lost enough momentum in war with Atlantis.
Also, we`re closing to the point in the game, where Wither Bones, Cleansing Water and, eventually, Undead Mastery make short work of ermorian legions.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Bah, Ermor falls off late quite dramatically with sluggish research *(due to high death gem dependency and all mages being summons) in addition to being very highly counterable with communions, high level battlefield magics, Purgatory, and SCs.

Bogarus is not.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

LL is most certainly right. bogarus is the real threat. shard, you should turn all your high tech fancy troops west to save the world from bogarus!!!(yeah, i know. not happenin)

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Yes. Yes. Go West. Not South. There's nothing but death, despair, more death, more despair, and lots of dead monkeys to the South.

Hm. What an interesting exchange of opinions.

lol...nice one Comrade.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Coming back to pre-Knai R'yleh, did I have any NAP-3s going, or can I be attacked (or attack) anytime? This is of particular note for Marignon, Atlantis, and Midgaard, which are my significant neighbors that I don't really know the diplomatic status off.

Sorry Patala, but you are not counted as significant. I figure you have enough on your hands with Ermor.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Patala is already AI for several turns. :)

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

That does explain why they are getting shredded as quickly as they are.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Well, it is not the main reason. I mean no offence, but Patala had major problems with strategy.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Anyone alive here?

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Oh, certainly. I just haven't said anything because I've already said everything I've got (Bogarus being big, I'm fighting Pangaea and Bogarus [whose now got another 40 man communion breathing down my neck and is approaching my capital, btw, and people should stop Bogarus before he gets too big, etc]), so any more public diplomacy from me would be rehashed beatings of the longdead horsemen.

I'm delaying the hosting of this turn by a day or two so Hooley will be guaranteed time to turn in his next turn (he asked for a 72 hour turn).

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I'm alive too. Just shy. Its been a fun game. its ashame Patala and the first R'lyeh player didn't quite get it together but c'est la vie.

I'm enjoying sparring with LL. a true gentleman as well as a very very strong player.

Its a good group to play with, but most of the games on here have been.

Of course. there are other strong nations out there also.

Also: LL is starting a new LA game. There may be a few openings left. I've grabbed Abysia. Was thinking Chelms or Midgard but they got taken. S'ok though, I was indecisive. Ermor is still open over there if anyone wants it. As well as Bogarus if anyone wants to play the nation you hear so much about on this board.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

In other random news:
-Pangaea continues to fight both Midgard and Marignon
-Ermor is massing about 3000 troops that have full bellies of Monkey brains. Looks like Abysia is trying to hold them off.
-Weather has gotten awfully nice here. Allergies are killing me though.
-My boys just turned 4. WooHoo.
-I hate printer issues. If I had to deal with those all day I'd become a hermit or a monk.
-Having a blast playing MP. Where was this when I was younger and actually had time on my hands!
-I bet there are no allergy issues in Ermor.
-Keep looking at the world a little bit askew
-Need to learn more about lutefisk.

Cheers!

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Abysia isn't holding off Bone Daddy, it's Bone Daddy who's holding off Abysia! Abysia is the one who seized Armavir from us and has been reinforcing it ever since. This is a shame since the Armavirans were most eager to join Bone Daddy's great rapture (also known as Armageddon by you non-believers) after we liberated it from Patala.

However, Bone Daddy isn't bothered since sometimes it's nice to know that someone else cares about our desolate lands as much as we do, and Abysian flesh does taste pretty yummy. It's not quite like Monkey Brains, but it has a very distinctive smoky flavor that many of us enjoy -- and we seem to have run out of monkeys down here.

Bone Daddy will confess: He was quite dissapointed that Abysia didn't accept our invitation and venture further South to join us in a great feast we were planning at our capital. We brought lots of plates, pots, and a several very large cauldrons, but our entree never showed up :(

One of my enterprising Dusk Elders thought that if they wouldn't come join us, then why don't we come up to them?! Bone Daddy was like, "Brilliant! Round everyone up and bring your forks and spoons -- we're headed North!"

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Glad to hear you decided to invade the north. Guess it got kind of boring down south...what with all those dead monkeys and dead grass and just about dead everything. I suspect you are bringing a friend along too perhaps? The more the merrier.

Just please bring some air freshener along. I've heard y'all have a bit of an odor about you!

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

That's my natural musk. All the undead ladies love it.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Some of this data is a bit off.
-Ermor is massing about 8,000 troops, and has another 5,000 nearby. On the other hand, Abyssia is pretty good at chaff clearing, so who's winning this war is actually kind of questionable.
-You don't need to learn more about lutefisk. You don't want anything to do with lutefisk. Screw lutefisk.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Fish marinated and aged with lye, containing traces of arsenic. Sounds really appetizing to me.

Which reminds me...

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Bone Daddy doesn't have enough fingers and toes left to count past 12, but we're pretty sure it's closer to a million. Yeah. A million! Look upon my mighty horde, mortals, and despair!

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

And then someone casts Purgatory when your horde is in Dom-10 territory.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I may need a 24/36 hr extension this weekend. I'll know for sure at the end of the day today.

LL: If I need to extend is it ok if I do it and post here?

If I don't need it. I'll post here also so y'all know.

Thanks!

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

You can if you want to. :p

Either way, you'll probably be the host in a few more turns.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I was able to get my turn in tonight...So we are right on schedule.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

I'm asking for 24h delay. I have some trouble back at home, inheritance-related. Sorry, guys.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

No problem. LL. I'll go ahead and extend. If you need more time just let us know. I was probably going to need an extension also anyway.

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Hey mate, remember me?

Its me! Your cousin Vinnie!

Hey, I just happen to be a bit short this week..........

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

Is this a My Cousin Vinny reference?

Re: BSoD (Newbie, LA, CBM 1.92) [Started!]
 

LOL..yes (spelling aside that is) and no, the character was but no direct quote from the movie...lol.

I haven't seen it in a long while and I guess its time for me to watch it again.

Lack of movies today where characters are larger than life.

Vinny, was definitely larger than life.

Joe Pesci made a number of good movies or appearances in movies, one which I think is under rated was him in "The Super". It came out the year before My Cousin Vinny.

Classic Pesci.
