Despite such misfortune, you put up a good fight; I tip my top-hat to you.

This was very bad luck indeed. Also I am invariably in the bottom of the province count graph in all of my games.

Well, EA Rlyeh is hard in the best of circumstances. You might need to practice expanding some more though. Whenever you join a game, get an expansion strategy that nets you at least 15 provinces by Late Winter.

Hosting scheducle updated to 36h, as stated in the OP.

The Great Glug has flailed his many tentacles with delight at the announcement of an NAP5 with the mighty Ogre Kingdom.

Unfortunately his flailing destroyed several coral temples and he poisoned a nursery of lobsters when spewing ink with glee.

After defeating a minor force of Shinuyama Kappas, a Deep Seer that took part in the battle picked up a manual of water-breathing from a fallen foe, "no no no, they've got it ALL WRONG here" he was heard to remark.

A foul day indeed, Tophats! The eight-armed menace has clearly demonstrated his dexterity, simultaneously stamping out the Aliens, swatting back the Goblins, and constricting the Capricorns!

The doomed Tritons that guard the Oceanian citadel salute the brave Shinuyamans that sacrificed their lives this day. We shall be sending an Encyclopedia of Water Breathing Manuals this turn to aid them in their struggle, and continue to offer our presses to any nation unwilling to be dragged to the watery depths.

Join our righteous efforts! We have expelled the squid from our walls, and our insurgency forces have begun attacks behind his lines! He will surely press his attack unless challenged! Strike now! The seas may yet not be lost!

My dear sir, we both know that there needs to be a battle in order for one to claim to have "expelled" an enemy.

Every Triton in Oceania braces the giant kelp walls when Glug comes by to say hello, very brave indeed.

The very ocean has come alive and boils for the cause of Atlantis, even now its myriads are on the march. Monster fish have have agreed to snack only on tastey visitors from above although their help was not necessary to drive those pesky goblins from the seas.

Hosting postponed because Bretonnia was going to stale (I noticed this just 3 minutes before the turn host, lucky for Alpine).

[Alpine Joe]

thanks burn. Friday night is always a little interesting for me, but I appreciate postponing the turn. Thanks


In others news, the queen's men have conquered the chinese savages of tien'chi. We look forward to peace with the rest of the world's nations-.

[Squirrelloid]

Huh, it just told me I staled, despite receiving confirmation of turn receipt for the last turn I received, and in the meantime Llamaserver was waiting to be updated and not sending any turns. Did we all stale a turn?

Hmm... it appears turn 28 was the last one I sent and this is turn 30... So what happened to turn 29?
