I am away from my server, but not away from the internet, I will play R'lyeh turns from my parents' barn.

So this is the beginning of the end, or at least it is for Helheim. T'ien Ch'i has invaded the nation of Helheim. I knew it was going to happen sooner than later. What is interesting is the reason for the invasion. "We cannot allow you to expand more into Ulmish territory." I believe that is the message I received, word-for-word.

For those who do not know, I was attacked by Kailasa after the initial war between me and T'ien Ch'i broke out. That is in fact one of the reasons I asked for a truce from them. Kailasa and I then started duking it out with quite a few close battles. (Awe is surprisingly effective against Helhirdings.) I managed to whittle them down, and then guess who decided to intervene, Ulm! They saw a nation scarred by war and decided to start taking the lightly defended Kailasan provinces. After all was said and done, Ulm took everything save one province I managed to hold on to, and that province wasn't even the capital! I have not once, after this was done, launched an attack on either T'ien Ch'i or Ulm. Yet, for some reason, the Not So Great Catsby has said that I cannot expand more into Ulm territory. MORE! I have not once expanded into Ulm territory.

I have been insulted repeatedly by T'ien Ch'i and taken advantage of by Ulm, and yet I have done nothing hostile to Ulm or T'ien Ch'i, after our initial conflict. I am the bad guy! Ha! That's laughable! If you want to destroy me, so be it, but don't act like a caring ally. You were just waiting for the right moment.

P.S. I better receive that staff of storms I paid for!

I had no idea that kailasa was at war with you at the time, honestly. It took me a long time to find a province with scouts and by the time I found one I had already started my war with kailasa. You were just a victim of bad timing.

Soon the 3.02 patch will be released. Barring some unforeseen issue, I intend to upgrade the server to 3.02 as soon as it comes out, as it fixes the gateway spells, the Abysian sacreds, etc. without bringing a never-ending hail of Doom Horrors upon the world. I will post another notice when the upgrade happens. If you want accurate battle replays, you will have to upgrade to 3.02 as well.

I have trouble believing this, as it was stated in this thread that Kailasa and I were at war. Oh, and you didn't think I would notice the whole "Helheim's excuses" as the title? What excuses have I made? I am not the one attacking someone.

ooc- Didn't you have something about you and I both attacking the Kailasan capital in the post, and that I didn't just hand it to you? Well of course I didn't! Did I not deserve something for my troubles? I guess your greed cancels out logic?

ic- Even if I would give you the benefit of the doubt, that still doesn't justify T'ien Ch'i's attack. They attacked me to destroy me and that is all. There is no protection of Ulm involved in the matter, because I don't pose a threat to you! At least when I attacked, I didn't try to hide my motives.

With regard to your message, I want my staff of storms!

I tend towards playing the game and not so much the drama so I rarely bother to read most posts here. Though I admit I am reading more often as the game matures.

There is no logic that would validate your childish claims of just deserts in regard to the capitol. This is a fantasy wargame where just deserts play little role in it . The strong persevere, the weak perish. You misplayed your hand both diplomatically and militarily and whining about isn't going to make it better.

AdrianP,

The posting on this thread has made this game a blast. Lets try not to discourage people from posting. It only takes a few moments to post, and not too long to play a turn, so I doubt that anyone is playing the game any less than you in favor of drama.

Eh, That part about drama wasn't meant negatively, just providing some context for ramshead that I didn't take advantage of him.

Helheim has shown their might. It's... certainly the might of a barbarian nation. Much as we would expect the might of nations who are not in the Middle Kingdom to be.

Fifty units. Not bad exactly, just nothing that the middle kingdom would insult an opponent by bringing to the field.

Honestly, I'm not sure I need to remove them - as is they are pretty much extra Province Defense for the capitol.

The Great Catsby has Spoken.
