"Thus it has come to pass - all powers have joined against us, or at least none has sided with us (The fools! To spite us, they will sell their souls to the Monkeys!). So be it!

In the face of this, Marverni, in the greater glory of the mighty Bump of Chicken, will take on the ultimate test - having once begun, we shall openly and continuously declare our VPs, until we place our lord upon the Throne of Heaven, or are thrown down! We have no other option.

Unfortunately, that will take time. But what shall you do with this interim? Continue to give your gems to the Monkeys, and their foul Byr, only to see them place the slave collar around your neck once Marverni is no more? Or put them in their place now, while you still have the chance, and try to destroy us in an honorable and valiant struggle, without their whip cracking at your back?

We live in interesting times...

Lucterius, the World's most feared slayer of men, Prophet of the Great Lord Bump of Chicken"

Oh, time for a little smack talk (I know, a little unfair, since Maerlande can't reply directly, but I cant resist

): How much do Rudras cost? Dang, even with Arcane Nexus, that loss might take several turns to recoup

BTW, last turn I forgot to say a big thank you to Pyg for sticking his game out to the very end - so I'll say it now: very classy! We all appreciate it, I'm sure, especially after all the 'quitting' problems this game has had.

Maerlande would like to share his commiseration. The bandar commander responsible for that tactical plan has been eaten.

Hey folks, my computer is about to go through a magical and wonderous transformation (mainly a new mobo, cpu and ram) so there is a chance that things might go horribly horribly wrong. As such, I'm putting my current turn in and if it looks like things are going to go completely to hell I'll notify you guys.

If anyone needs to reach me for diplomacy or whatever, might take a couple days.

On behalf of my friend Maerlande, he has started a thread on dom3mods about this game. Simply put he refuses to pay pearls for protection. Come and get it if you can.

I'll also note that you should have pooled pearls LAST turn, now you've given him another turn worth of income from the Nexus and that's probably... mmmm.... 75? nails in your collective coffin.

"Har har har! We could have predicted this - once the chance to dispel the Nexus was squandered, and Marverni had been compelled to make its move, the offers of Kailasa to share gems are suddenly withdrawn!

What will you do now? You can drive us off the VPs and destroy our empire, but it will not be easy by any means (ask Kailasa about the 3 Rudras, if you doubt us!). And all the while, Kailasa will mass an unassailable horde of gems. Now you feel the crack of the whip, but once we're gone, you'll feel the boot on your neck!

Well, there may be another way. Marverni is willing to talk, and make concessions (such as returning the two VP provinces to Yomi, and halt claiming VP points until such a time as the Nexus is no more).

If not, you'd best start learning to climb trees and eat bananas!

Hmm, I reread my postings and I'm pretty sure that I did not make any offers to share gems. On behalf of Maerlande, I offered to share Marverni provinces and of course that offer still applies.

Maerlande himself has only made a single statement on this issue.

Well I am not sure that by attacking none Monkey provinces you are encouraging anyone to take down the Nexus for you. After all most of us only risk to lose to someone other than yourself or Dr P

While you and Abysia can see that possible win get sucked out of your nations and into Kailasa's Nexus

Why haven't you and Aby taken it down? You have much more to lose than the rest of us if it stays up for long. You and Aby get over 230 gems a turn between you. Even if you don't get a single natural pearl between you that's 115/turn after alchemy. Cast your own dispel....

This is an early notice of an absence:

I will be camping Labor Day weekend (Sept. 4th - 6th) and will not have access to any Internet or computer.
