You can email him the current turn, but:

lwarmonger, please PM your email address to me (I thought I had it, but I guess not), so I can switch Ermor to your account.

I've postponed the current hosting by 48 hours.

I've updated the email address. Welcome back to the game, lwarmonger, and thanks for subbing.

No problem... from the looks of things it is now Ermor, Abysia, Marverni and an almost defeated Mictlan.

[vfb]

Has Ermor heard news from the land of Mictlan? Has the Abysian tide turned against them?

The nation had been abandoned, given up in despair as Abysia invaded from the West and Niefelheim attacked from the East. But a new King of Mictlan emerged, and with cunning stunts he drove the giants from his lands, and then set his sights on the Abysian invaders, who are still locked in a fierce battle with the jungle dwellers. Last I heard, anyway.

Meanwhile, still recovering from a punishing final battle with the Niefel giants, Marverni's druids sit in their groves and tend to their wounded.

Well, we must correct this propaganda, probably stemming from the opium smokers in the wet jungles of Mictlan....

Mictlan had attacked Abysia in the beginning, laying its greedy eyes on the beautiful magma streams that make up our lovely country and eying at the wonderful luscious Abysian virgins (I won't re-post a picture, vfb ). It was then that Abysia repelled their initial attack & took care of a certain rampaging cyclops when we decided that it was time to turn the tide against Mictlan when our cease fire with them had run out. Niefelheim had already retreated from Mictlan lands, so it was a true 1vs1 fight where we got locked somehow, correct.

But the unexperienced Abysian general has been replaced, and so we can proudly announce that "Cyclops Beaf (TM)" is served from "Hot Stone(r) (TM)" from now on, freshly roasted. Not that Mictlan would be beaten completely, but at least we showed them how to serve their god (OOC: I *love* English for the ambiguity in this word ).

Ermor does not enter the quarrels of demons. The unwashed barbarian masses on our borders also engender our disgust. We wash our hands of all of you!

[Toran]

The Lobby of Abysian Virgin Interests heavily protests against the Marverni incursions on our territory, even without any prior declaration of war on us!

Our cooks were just celebrating the de-petrification of the Mictlan idol when hellish forces entered our realm, without being asked for! Obviously, the attack on a minor nation through one of the two remaining super powers in the world of Six Lands indicates the new low moral standard which seems to be common in Marverni these times, so we hereby demand support from our brethren in Methadone and the import of the army of 127 devils!

(Pah, coward! There's a whole Ermor empire around, and you take on the lowly Abysians? )

Marverni is responding to a Raging Hearts in our capitol last month, with a small punitive measure against the most likely culprit. Such retaliatory strikes are permitted under the code of the Menhir and the Mistletoe.

It's not like you lost any armies or anything!

[Toran]

The Abysian ambassador is hurt deeply by this unjustified accusation which is absolutely wrong.

The Abysian army is busy defending against Mictlan aggressors and doesn't need to dabble with Fire magic on nature druids. As you can conclude from the lab journals your rampaging forces have found in our wizards' towers, no rituals have ever been cast against Marverni provinces.

So, how do your Forces Of Evil (TM) now justify their aggression against peace loving magma slurpers?

If you retreat this month, we will not demand the immediate surrender of your demonish thugs to the court of the United Nations of Six Lands.

[lwarmonger]

Does this "small punitive measure" perhaps involve the annexation of Abysia?
