MP: Methadone - running

[vfb]

Looks like all the turns are in.

If no-one objects in the next 12 hours, I'll turn quickhost back on (7PM JST).

Admin: Methadone has hosted. I've left quickhost on. Please PM if you need me to turn it off. There is no timer.

Good game to Ermor (lwarmonger)!

As you predicted, my nation was pretty much crippled by the war with you. But whenever I see LA Ermor, I cannot resist the temptation to attack. I just can't accept the possibility of failing to do my best to prevent the destruction of the world by zombies!

I was sure you were going to bring out the Shadow Blasts using your god one of those battles. Even with Antimagic up, at D9 I think I would have been creamed.

[lwarmonger]

I actually had them towards the end, but by that point too many of my mages were gone. And the front was a little to short (and your PD too strong) for me to try my normal slash and burn tactics.
But good game to all. Down with Gath!

At least now you have 15 death gems to work with.

Nice game, Ermor. See you in Smack???

[lwarmonger]

Of course... MA C'tis is becoming quite wealthy, and will hopefully not be ganged.

Pah. Is there a ritual available (that is castable under AC without getting doom horrored...) that protects you from those "religious followers have decided to cripple your upkeep costs and block your relevant fighting forces in battles so you need to send them against an enemy that hopefully kills them to the last man" events?

I mean, I haven't picked Misfortune3 for a reason, and got that event the 2nd time now - no reason to punish me, even though it makes your army graph look nice (not helping, though...). [add: Yep, of course I know that it's supposed to be a lucky event, but I know as well I'm not the only one "enjoying" it...].

[vfb]

Yes there is, actually, it's called "Send Lesser Horror".

Just cast it (a couple times to be sure) on the province the soldiers are in, and any neighboring provinces.

Hey Presto! No more militia.

You can send us some blood slaves as thanks.

[Toran]

Pah...

I was more thinking of something like an open speech by your pretender -

"Look guys, we've been talking about that 'god' thingy quite a few times now, and I appreciate your devotion - your temples, blood sacrifices etc - but you shouldn't take that too seriously, you know, and just form militias... relax, have a drink on me and maybe deliver your virgin daughter to the local temple - but please leave the fighting to the men that have learned something about it, thanks!".

On an unrelated note - I'll submit my turn tomorrow in the morning (<12 hours), so we can get going again, leaving only 25% of the the turns left to play then

[archaeolept]

yah i should be able to get one in tomorrow morning
