Re: Great Forum, game running
 

I can send you this turn 10 fire and 20 nature gems. 30 death gems sounds good to me (or 20 death and 20 blood slaves if you prefer).

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

30 death gems it is, they shall be sent this turn.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Hello

Is it possible to delay the current turn to monday evening (GMT+1) ?

I won't be able to connect to internet until this date !

Arnob

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@Muse - 20 Egems sent - where is your army? You have a good opportunity to raid monkey lands while he's main army is trying to invade me.

@Grijalva - you're attacking my territories without any warning. Is this how monkeys go to war? Prepare for hard times.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

yes, it is :)

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@Lhassa

You brought this on yourself in possibly two ways: one, you twice ignored my monkey-offers of monkey-NAPs.

Secondly, someone is causing unrest in my territories that are suspiciously close your own, and you happen to have a nice national spy. Granted, it could be another nation, but given the distance involved, that would require a lot of patience...

...aaaand, if another player has spent all of this time patiently moving spies into distant places just to foment war between us...well...I guess he's earned his treat. :)

I guess I should point out to this hypothetical other player that if I do catch one of your spies doing nefarious deeds in The Land of the Apes, you should expect a veritable storm of monkey poo in the near future.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

No offense to Pangaea if I'm wrong, but it looks like he has reached that, unfortunate, "I'm bored so I quit" point that seems to happen when new players play the maened-factory-pangaea-strat...

So, maybe we need a sub?

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

About Pangaea: If that's the case I would recommend setting him AI since he only holds 7 provinces. If you think that it would be possible to cause havoc and challenge someone with his troops we could have a sub. Otherwise I think its just waste of time.

@Mscfish, if you were stalling for some other reason than what Grijalva proposed and you still want to be in the game, I'm sorry about the above comments.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

I would prefer Pangaea going AI, as it looks like not powerful enough for a sub to get a fun and interesting situation.

Arnob asked for a postpone to monday evening, the next turn is still due to monday morning.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

second that, I suggested a sub but really setting him to AI seems like a better choice.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Oh well, one down one to go.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Dearest Grijalva

Spiders taste good
We not like them very much
NAP 3 so they die?

Three headed dragons
They are big, have fire breath
How make them suffer?

we cuddle you, if you like that
BvG, Shinuyama



PS: Translation for foreign monkeybrains:

We should team efforts against the spider riders, and then eat them. Unfortunately, They employ those huge three headed dragons, any hints about killing em?

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Ahh, the mighty Zhmeys have awoken, well, intelligence is the first step, let me know where they are...can't hurt. You've got a lot of death, so perhaps distintegrate, banefire, ghost grip(maybe not), some other anti-sc spells should work...

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

We've a proposition for our gravelly goblin opponents-- relinquish the sea to us, and we shall grant an NAP-5 so that you might concentrate on murdering the spiders.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

To Machaka:

If we don't receive the agreed upon payment, unpleasant things may happen.

We've been quite patient.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Word has it that the pangaean government has been overthrown and a new general has risen to power, by the name of (A)ntagonist I(nferior).

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Great ! My only ally is now a dump AI ...

To all :
The people of Ulm encounters some difficulties. We are on the north-east corner and we are a very disturbing nation for the big giants from cold and the people of vanheim.

So I'm currently looking for any ally in war against this two nation. My first need is money, in exchange I can forge at a reduced cost (50%) many item (1F2E in a large scall or some specific artifac)

Arnob

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

To Arnob

I have no interest in joining your war, sorry but the monkeys are just going banana's over how powerful Machacka has become.

However, if its just gold you want, I would be willing to send you 2F2E gems and 100 gold in exchange for a firebrand.

EDIT: actually, I would prefer just to pay gold, if possible, how much would you want for a firebrand?

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@Arnob
Maybe people of Ulm could surrender instead of hiding in his castles or wandering. Nobody will help you in your dark forests. I will be merciful.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Hum, let me think about your proposal my dear friend






no !

Arnob

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

My dear friend

I'm very sorry but I will trade fire brand only with a nation engaged in the same war as me.

Arnob

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

I am sure the positional place of SC is useful information.. so how about that NAP 3?

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

The Monkeys of course welcome such an NAP3 with our comrads in arms! Down with Machacka! *flings poo*

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Ah, sure!

This was all about reaching Machacka to begin with, and I think i got that a-plenty ;)

however due to capital placement, western sea of storms (12) cannot be easily included in such a deal. If you agree to that exemption, then we got a nap 5.

PS: I assume you retract your demand for those last coastal provinces, so I'll continue there, but am ready to leave, in case I was mistaken.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

We welcome our monkeys in arms, but do not appreciate poo on our negotiation tables. I hear far worse about the Machakas tho. It's said they spit into their hands to seal a deal, can you imagine dealing with such a barbaric people for more then a few years?

currently there's two of them Zmeies, plowing south into my lands, where the river enters the sea. I'm sure we stop them eventually, but our inexperience with slaying dragons will cost us more then necessary.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

another three-headed dragon looms in the east as well,

@ Ryleh

The Monkeys welcome you to take the West Neminder Sea (pronvince 71) and would accept a truce in exchange.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@ Muse, What is this treachery?

22.10.2010This is you're answer to my proposal - I've already paid my debts (20E gems) we can ask the administration to check that one out.

1.11.2010You've promised your allegiance and we have divided already the lands of goblins. We also share NAP3. I still haven't seen your main army taking his lands. To me this sounds like that the great forum hasn't heard all of the talks that is going behind my back?

How is this going to be? - I have played my role and given you what you've requested. I pledge you to take actions you have promised. You are still the true god in the south, take what is your's and leave the goblins to your voiceless ones!

I shall burn, charm or bleed those who try to invade my lands. At this point I would ask from my diplomatic partners (Vanheim, Rlyeh and Abysia) what are you really going to do with the monkeys who are grinning behind you backs? Now they are turning face to the west, It's you're chance to act.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

The entire sea is the deal, or face a two-front war.
An NAP-5 will give you ample warning should we wish to attack you; you've little to fear from the Western Sea of Storms.

As compensation, we shall relinquish Moorway (79) to you; we only wish the small province of Lower Hoburgia (84).
I trust you can see the strategic value in this.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To Machaka:

There is no treachery-- we are still at peace.
We simply sold you some land that you requested. (The payment we've received just this turn, which we thank you for.)

We made no promise to remain at war with Shinuyama indefinitely.

We're quite simply withdrawing from all surface conflicts, as we likely should have done long ago.
We shall keep a single tea-selling kiosk on the beach, and return to the waves.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Ah you drive a hard bargain... yet again. I agree.

However, be informed that this was one of the factors that let me to start with you in the first place.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Luckily, that should not be a trouble this time-- all the transit routes are open and clear.
'Tis good that our peace is finally solidified.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Advisory for Machaka:

Shinuyama should be withdrawing from Lower Hoburgia (84), as per agreement.
Holding or placing PD in this province will be considered an immediate act of war, placing you in a three-front conflict.

Otherwise, we have no quarrel with either of you and wish both sides interesting battles in the coming conflict.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

To clarify: We do not care if a battle takes place there, now that Shinuyama currently possesses it-- we simply care that the single province is returned to us peacefully after all the troop movements are settled. (Whosoever comes out as the victor.)

This should not materially impact either economy or army mobility.

We are, of course, open to negotiation in all matters. (Should it be necessary.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We shall also reiterate this:

Just in case.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

I am very sorry,guys.

I am getting wedding,It's so busy.Sorry for staling.

Very happy to play with you.Wish you good luck.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

thanks for playing with us and congratulations!

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@ Muse, On what ground do you state that I should surrender Lower Hoburgia to you? I took the province from my enemy after all. Do you think I buy that Goblins are free to travel through your lands as you take no action?As a sing of my good will I leave no guards to the province in question, but I ask you to consider, why are you doing this? By attacking from two directions, goblins could be easily defeated. I also request a NAP extension to 5 turns as a sign of your good will and intentions.

@ Grijalva, Moving one single commander to prevent other army's movement is usually considered coward (turn 39, Eastern Landbridge). I hope you didn't do this intentionally?

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

The Jotuns seeks 20-30 more N gems, offering D gems and/or virgins (2 virgins for 1 gem).

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

I am sorry, I do not have enough nature gems (nor astral, for Bandar log and Machaka). And currently I cannot search for more, some punks are trampling on my gardens...

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

The province was quite simply the property of R'lyeh before Shinuyama accidentally took it. If Shinuyama (or anyone) took perhaps Hoburg Run next to your capital, then I captured it from them, would you not request it back undamaged?

As for our lands: We have no lands at the moment, we have only oceans, through which no goblins are permitted.

Easily defeated, perhaps, perhaps not.
In anycase, we've had quite enough of wars on parched land for the current time. We're withdrawing to the sea, and for that intention the current NAP-3 suits us nicely.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

That's fine, just as well actually as it seems our blood vengeance will soon be complete with your momentum on Ulm reaching critical point.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

The crustacean folk (R'lyeh, The One which smells or whatever you want to be named) must know that people of Vanheim do not seek to invade the sea depths. We like fish, mollusk and shells. We love periwinkle and whelk (google translating...).

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Hello All

This evening I leave for weekend. Yes I'm french ...

It is possible to delay the next turn (i already play this turn) to monday morning instead of saturday evening (GMT+1) ?

Arnob

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

postponed.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

I am afraid Grijalva has just done 2 stales in a row. because of his central position (for all meanings) I hope he will come back soon. We will see on monday...
(All the french people do not get on week-end every wednesday, some must works in order to make others going on holidays all the time :))

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

grijalva seems to have given up on this game. He is officially out now, and most probably we will be joined by a very nice player soon. I will keep u updated.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

please help me update the first post pact-wise to help our new player get a clearer view.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Thank you to manage this.

I have a NAP upgraded to 5 turns with Grijalva/Bandar Log. I used to have a good relationship with him since the beginning, trading astral gems for death ones. He wanted to build a secured northern border for fighting next to the West, because Machaka is the leading nation for a while (and south ?), and I needed the same in order to attack Arnob/Ulm.

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

Mighty leader of Bandar!

I would like to purchase Serpents Tail from you. It would straighten out our borders and its inhabitants are followers of the abysian cult. I understand it is not too far from your capitol, so to assure u of my good will, I offer a NAP5 and a payment both of us would see as fair. How about 500 gold and 50 fire gems?

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@ Earcaraxe - I wish you would take your axe to your hand and burn the monkeys from your lands.. I have made him bleed and you have all means killing his powerfull astral communions. We share a NAP3 and I'm willing to change it for NAP5. I fight simultaniously against 1,5 opponents (since I consider goblins only half men), with your aid the monkeys would gain another enemy and you could take the Serpents Tail by force.

@ Num - We share only tiny borderline and I wish we could extend our relationship with trading.. I could offer you some F and W gems in exhange of N, S and D gems. I believe I could also forge you some boosters if you need them.. for a good price of course.


@ ADMIN - NAP3 with Machaka and Vanheim is not in the 1st page, please update it. What comes to Bandar, I think everyone knows that we've been fighting "pretty even" couple of turns so no NAP's on this side :D

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

In addition to the already noted NAP 3 for Abysia, we also have a NAP 5 with R'lyeh, as well as a NAP 3 with Bandar Log.

BTW: Better half a man then being so afraid to be hiding behind dragonheads...

BvG, Shinuyama

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

All:

Hello and thanks for letting me join your game. I'm excited to be here. :)

I shall try to keep my monkey minions in line as best I can.... ;)

*Num*, I would love to keep trading gems with you. I have 54 death gems I can send you in trade. I shall keep to the terms of the NAP 5 as well.

*Earcaraxe* Your NAP, gold, and gems sound good. Serpent's Tail doesn't really have any bananas anyhow, so we trade it to you happily.

*Lihaässä* I can only imagine you are mad because my monkeys aren't potty trained very well, and perhaps they soiled your lawn one evening? I shall try to keep them better in line, and hopefully we can make peace.

Thanks!

Re: Great Forum, game running
 

@ Nrach - Welcome and thanks for joining in such a short notice. If you are really down for peace I would more than happily let you retrieve from you're lands North from Amar. I will take those provinces and leave you're empire alone (NAP3). These are my terms.. what do you say?

@ PvG - don't worry, I wont eat all you're provinces while you're trying to conquer the north.
