Heh, you must be reading minds or something, 'coz I was just about to ask for postponing the hosting this friday... This is just perfect! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/PointUp.gif[/img]

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I sent the message to everyone critisizing Pythium for going AI after I defeated their main army. If he wanted to go AI, then it is up to him and is none of my business.

So, Pythium, I hope you accept my apology. It was stupid of me.

jeff (aka Pangaea).

Damn, he has Ghost Riders and Tartarians. Not to mention his immortal DragonLich. Not good for the home team.

Ah, but you're the away team, being deep in my lands and dominion...

The immortal Dracolich Jurri, who singehandedly crushed Vanheim, who ate Pasha the Dawg and who ****s in the skull of courtesy shall eat the Mother Oak of Pangaea, too, alongside every little forest critter basking under it! Molochs don't taste good, however (as evidenced by the infamous HOI-fanboi), so he'll be lobbed to the bottom of the Well of Misery.

I don't think Azhur got the in-game message, btw, being AI and all

I'm not sure if I agree with your laissez-faire view, though; consider: playing the game is a joint effort, many people besides oneself devote their time on making it a pleasant experience for all (in the sense that a well-played game is pleasant). One player quitting disturbs the whole game, making it rather inconvenient for the others, especially if the quitter is significant. Certainly it's common courtesy to at the very least inform the other players of such radical changes like going AI, and preferably the reasons for it!

I'm sorry about that.. my game didn't go too well from the start (two stale turns by mistake) and the death of my threugs was the last straw. I've had much misfortune in Dom2 MP recently, but that's not really an excuse. I'll make an oath to stay in dom2 MPs from now on at least to turn 30.

Jurri--

I know we've been allies more or less so far. I know Pangea is still powerful, despite all this talk to the contrary. But...but... YOU STOLE MY HAMMER OF THE FORGE!

I consider it my god-given right, being Ulm and all.

So, if you give me the Hammer of the Forge, I'll consider joining the war on your side still. Of course I may just stay out of the war then and forge stuff. Hehe..

Otherwise I think I'm going to have to help the forest folk. Well, hell, I don't know. This is a tough one. All three of us are powerful.

Jurri · #7 March 31st, 2005, 04:39 PM

Hehee, but weren't you the legendary construction-less Ulm? So what do you need the Hammer for anyways... But sure, you can have it, you have a point about Ulm having nothing else to look forward to as far as magic goes

Only, how far does 'consider' get you, 'cause I'd feel sad if I yielded it for naught... And I might as well take it with me to Tartarus if you should leave me to die in the hands of the green guys! Besides, you know you'll be joining me very soon in that case, as my and Pan's lands combined amount to, like, more than 3/4ths of the map. So sitting this out might be fatal.

The situation is indeed quite interesting, with three strong positions. I guess CU has the upper-hand strategically though, as he isn't yet entangled in a war. Jeffr has the most power in his standing army and the most lands by far, though, so I'm not sure if it matters. The research machine that is Utg�rd gives me mucho magical power, making me a player too. Not to mention the audacious Dracolich, a terror in his own right

The server seems to be down; I won't be able to take my turn before Saturday evening (GMT), so could you perhaps ensure that it won't host before then? Thank you!
