The Ordeal for Turn 76: The Gates of Tartarus

The Gates of Tartarus are now open.

Those of you who stand on the ruins of former empires, fear. Fear deeply, for the last owners of those mighty kingdoms are coming back from their torments in tartarus.

And they are not pleased.

After this turn, every month one fallen god will escape from tartarus with a host of servants and attemp to recapture their old capital. The fallen gods will teleport through various mean to 3 provinces away from their old cap and move to recapture it.

Their motivations are in following order:

1. Capture their old capital
if that is not possible:
2. Spite the nation responsible for their fall (pillaging, raiding)
if that is not possible:
3. Spite the nation currently in control of "their" cap.

The gods come from tartarus in a random order and if a player is defeated before this ordeal is over, that nation will also join the list of fallen gods (moment in this realm is a eternity in tartarus).

I now seems to control 5 capitals so should I just sit tight and wait for 3 turns ?

Well, that is kind of crude to way to put it, but yes.

Usually a concensus is reached before the full 3 turns pass. It mostly depends on if any of the players has a plan to take a cap from you.

I can't see anyway, I can take a capital off Lanka, so unless someone else can, its pointless doing the next 3 turns.

May as well declare Lanka the winner, unless anyone else objects?

I've been doing nothing but defending my cap for many turns, so whatever the group decides.

[Burnsaber]

I'd like to hear from kianduatha first before calling the game, he might have something (I doubt it though). But this is kinda a big deal, so I want to cover all bases.

Also, we just need one player for a underwation nation in the Legendary Ordeals II. This is a last chance to join .

[kianduatha]

Ah, no, I've got nothing. Magicless gimmick pretenders generally don't lead to terribly good lategames. Also I cannot comprehend how Lanka got such a ridiculously high bless, good grief.

I thus grant Bifrons the divine voice and limitless power befitting of his new status as the ultimate ruler of this realm!

Bifrons, your first choice as the divine and rightful ruler of this realm is to decide what to do with your former competition. Do you want to spare them and make them your celestial servants or do you wish to throw them into the depths of Tartarus?

Isokron won the game. Congratulations! He should feel free to gloat using the "Pantokrator Voice" (just quote this post for the forum code). He can now choose to either throw the other pretenders into the Tartarus or spare and make them lesser gods in his service (this has no other meaning beyond the RP aspect).
