[AreaOfEffect]

My apologies. This was my first attempt to sub for another player. I thought for a while it would be interesting to try, and indeed it was interesting.

Its taken me all this time to rid myself of my useless and costly chaff. Still a good proportion of it remains, but my upkeep is down and my mages and sacreds are up, which is satisfying. I also managed to double the blood slave output. Still, I don't find this game enjoyable. I just don't like picking up where someone else left off, especially since I think it to be a lot of work to bring the nation around to my standards.

I sat down to do my turn several times recently and just didn't have the heart each time. This is a game; games are meant to be fun; this feels more like work; I would therefore like to play another game. Again, I'm sorry.
