I'd be happy to assist yet I'm being invaded by Ulm

PS. Call of the winds makes me very irritated. Three castings in the same province failed to take out the most basic PD.

Damn Pangeans, they always were a traitorous lot. best to kill them quickly. We now look to Jomon, and all other nations to assist us.

My apologies Marignon, my lack of experience shows again. For some reason I thought the NAP was meant to last 3 turns not to entail a warning 3 turns prior. Rereading the messages between us shows that I was wrong. I can only blame it on the fact that I've been very distracted from the game lately, well that and all other naps I'd agreed to had a NAP# format which made me think a certain period of time. My apologies again and I promise to make it up to you if we happen to play a different game together.

As to Ermor, I am simply driving my armies to meet them on the shortest possible path. Unfortunately given the mountainous and swampy nature of my territory that path just passes through yours. Again, sorry about the nap breach.

We would recommend that you look on your southern border.

Also the meaning of ermor in a game is, that everyone crushes them, as when one player fears them so much that he becomes their vassal, ermor has nothing to fear.

The tongue in cheek was in poor taste given the circumstances. I'm not all that afraid of Ermor right now, there are other fish in the sea that are considerably more dangerous to me. And they're all nearby it seems.

On an aside: If anyone is interested in water, fire or air gems and can trade pearls at 1 to 1 for them this turn message me or post or something.

Sorry to say it Sil, if your not afraid of ermor, you really are new to dominions. think of the snowball effect.

I gotta agree with that. Atlantis may look scary on some of the graphs, but Ermor can quickly become unstoppable like no other nation. Because of that, like R'lyeh, it's often banned in LA games.

Calahan, are you sending viruses to all your neighbors computers or what?

2AI nations next to you, and now Jomon, another neighbor of yours has 4 stales. you really are going to win thanks to all your neighbors quitting

Believe me, that is not something I actually feel good about

Would always prefer to properly earn any progress I make in games, rather than have it served up on a plate due to AI's and stalers.

I've posted a lot recently about how much I hate nations turning AI in games, and while I still didn't like seeing my neighbours of Pythium and Midgard turn AI in this game, both were pretty valid even in my eyes. Pythium was just a straight kill by Ermor after a lucky event gave me an unexpected opportunity to siege and capture their capital, with matters only made worse by Pythium's only real troops being Hydra's. Midgard/Starshine did look for a sub for several turns before turning AI, but unfortunately didn't manage to find one. Which there's not much you can do about unless you know players who owe you tons of favours.

But I think the Jomon situation can be dealt with, and I think the best thing right now would be to put the game on hold for a while until Toni_Bubu's RL time constraints ease up a bit. Or ask him if he doesn't mind a sub doing a few turns for him until he can get back onboard. Regardless of whether or not Jomon would attack Ermor, it is just bad for the game all round to have a nation sitting there constantly staling. Although I do confess I didn't realise Jomon had staled for four turns, as that really is a bit over the top.

But putting the game on hold is not my call, so....
