Who knew there were so many false serpents? In any case we of course refer to the Emerald Empire.

As the only true serpents, the Lizard Kings of C'Tis would be offended by such slanderous banter ...if their kingdom wasn't being ripped apart by an alliance of clumsy giants of Jotun and horse-riding barbarian archers that stangely emerged from the caves, waving banners for Tien Chi !

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Hello mr Pasha...

Can you provide another link to the AsiaTwist map? I wanted to give it a look but it is unavailable, looks like your hosting service has removed it :(

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Hi Tifone:

The link seems to still work. I was able to use it to download the file today. Is it still not working for you?

Deadline is Sunday night.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Sorry folks but I've not been checking the forum and I learned that folks have been messaging me here. My rudeness was not purposeful.

As for the game, I'm just amazed that I'm still in it. I must be low on someone's To Do list -- I'm looking at you Ashdod.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Well, that's it for me :) I must say I really struggled to find 'a way forward' with C'Tis. Oh well.

GG all, thanks for all your organising and hosting efforts, Pasha!

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Thank you Wokeye.

MA Ctis is a mighty tough nation to play. Their so called strength - the swamp dominion - is also their greatest weakness making them hated neighbors.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

And severely limiting their strategic options. :(

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Thanks Wokeye, Farewell, until we meet again.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Hello:

Turn 27 is out.

Due to the delayed hosting, the turn will be due on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

Song for a young Jarl

Wails and weepings were the words
of the wives widowed on the north coasts;
from a monstrous terror, striking,
out of the sea's cruel heart.

The Wyrm laid waste, wicked
in the wreck of the Van. Many a hearth's smoke,
down against the trees' line, dark on the water;
the flames, free from their proper bond-place.

So roused the angry one, out of his sick-couch,
calling to him his sword servants and thanes,
and to him his jarl Andre; he of whose fury,
the good lord approved.

Along the kestrel's clamour, out
from wind's home, our lord and bondsman
spied now the beast; massive with menace,
from out of the forest's torn flank.

Prepared they for battle, using the old ways
and wiles of the Vannish. And the beast it did also;
yet the mists held no secrets
from the lord of the Van.

Vast in its bulk, the vile sea-thing
roared out some challenge, heads rampant, sprays toxin;
young Andre felt fear's clasp, yet
stayed steady for his dread liege.

Two swords flamed in the dawn's light, and two serpent's heads
met and missed, the bloody back and forth,
until the Jarl Andre struck in with his true axe.
The fiend, screamed and lashed at his baned one; his two heads tearing in twain.

Yet the Wyrm's ribs now jutted,
ships staves on the founder;
and it, feeling the doom's dire, sped for the cliff's edge,
seeking sea's safety.

But the lord of the Aesir, avenging his sworn one,
cut down the beast by the clash of the waves.
Down to the muck was layed low the mighty Wyrm Pasha;
and the Lord burnt one head on the cairn of his bondsman.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

I really like this song.
I assume its purely fictitious ;)

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

I just want to make a general warning. I have a lot to do at school atm and is under some time pressure, so I might forget that it is time to send in my turns. I don't need any planned delays, but I might lose track of time. It should be mostly over after this weekend, when I have received all essays and papers, with a return in power in about two weeks when grades are supposed to be set.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

I tried to make it as accurate as possible. Pasha's wyrm (air, earth and death) was marauding along my north coast. So I trapezed in my chest-wounded pretender, armed w/ 2 flame swords and a snake ring, and Andre the Jarl, w/ a flesh eater. Pasha's mistform was negated on the first hit, of course, and he had no magic attacks so my guy wasn't about to lose his. We traded a few blows, then my Jarl came up, gave Pasha a chest wound, and was promptly eaten for his troubles :P

After a bit of fighting, the wyrm tried to retreat, but the very last possible attack from my guy finally finished him off.

Anyways, no one likes to lose their pretender, so given how much laudable work Pasha has put into this map, and others, I figured the battle deserved a fitting memorial:)

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Excellent job on the ode, Archae! :)

DEATH TO VAN!!!!!!! ONE THOUSAND CURSES!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Hi:

Sorry for the delay. I have all the turns now, but I got distracted last night.

I will host the turn after I get home from work today.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Message from KO:
My internet is out of order so I won't be able to do my turns for a while.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

ooh - party break!

I hear a band of elk ate the phone line KO uses to dial-up :)

also, death to Okin for crimes against friendly wandering Vans!

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Pretty sure it was a moose. :o

A single GoR'ed moose, with a Black Heart. :eek:

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Ashdod has D gems and limited amounts of W and A gems for trade. I would like E,F and S gems in return. Only 1 for 1 trades considered. Would like to complete any trades ASAP, ie...this turn. Probably going to be delayed again due to the moose rebellion KO is facing. Last I heard they had his home surrounded!?!:eek:

PM me if interested.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

'Moose' is just a neologism for 'Elk' :hammer:

"the common European name for the moose, which is elk. The name elk is connected with the Latin alces, and with Old Norse elgr, Scandinavian elg, and German Elch" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

so, is there a delay on this turn then? because i haven't done mine yet :)

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Yes, but it has been scientifically proven that the word "moose" has 98% more comedic value than the word "elk". :p

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

SO wait, what do you call an Elk? A Deer? And you call Deer Mice? I always wondered where that came from..... European people are always so confused about language. ;) ;)

<3

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

a type of red deer :)

I like how they all, Elk, Moose, and Deer, are the same form for both one and many.
Except for Meese.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Hi!

Seems my connection will be down for a few days more. They have contacted a field technician. One of the days he might contact me :(

Anyway: send my turns to johan at illwinter. He will do my turns while I'm waiting.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Hi KO:

Okay, I just forwarded your turn to Johan, and I will wait a bit to give him a chance to play the turn.

Thanks.

Turn 31 is out.

Deadline is Sunday night.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

I'd like to alert the nations of AsiaTwist of a very serious crisis. Manead starvation, that's right. The randy Maenads have overexpanded at an alarming rate and as ironic as it may seem, Pan just can't seem to produce enough food to keep all our lovely ladies well fed. Incursions across the Ashdod wastelands are futile in spite of our collection of magical wine bags (these just seem to further fuel the population explosion as the Pans end up with another 20 girls after a night with an endless bag of wine). Our Maenads are becoming skinny and diseased with malnutrition and look like the girls that Heff kicks out of the mansion. We are setting up a charity to raise awareness of this crisis. Donations can be sent to the Feed the Maenads fund. Don't stand by while this tragedy unfolds - act now! :)

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

It truly is a shame, how inefficient a sprawling horde of naked women can become.

Oh if only Pan would consent to have some fun with Ermor as well, Atlantis has many Nature gems with no real use..... :angel

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Ashdod welcomes all naked women to his capital...:)

Bring the wine as well.:D

The Pans can stay at home.

Oh yea, on a more serious note, the Ashdod capital may eventually fall to one of you but it will be over the largest mountain of bodies ever seen in dominions history!:tough:

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Is that because your castle is already built on said mountain? :p I'm not sure that the Rephaiim et al will have many realistic uses for human sized women, naked or not. ;) Plus, by the time they reach you, they will have been buffed with Barkskin, blech. :(

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Turn 32 is out.

Deadline will be Thursday, due to the delay. That way, everyone should have plenty of time to get their turns in. :)

Baby Adons, with no equipment:)

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

My feckless forces forced to flight. The end has dawned. My god still has a sword and will go down swinging.

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Do not go gentle into that Ashdod night, rage, rage against the dying of the light!

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Ashdod is a secondary consideration. Giants to South. Ch'i to west. I had minimal land to begin with so their expansion quickly drained my coin. Haven't had a recruit in a long time.

Wish I could have done more against Ashdod.

Turn 34
 

Hello:

Turn 34 is out. Because of the delay in hosting, turns will be due on Friday instead of Thursday.

Pasha

Re: Asia Twist - PBEM
 

Or you could just grab the provinces of your allies, who actually fought Ashdod, well avoiding any and all fighting yourself. Hope your listening R'lyeh, Caleum, Eriu! Where has all your fighting got you...only the tree huggers have really gained anything! Feeling at all used...?
