I'll turn off the game timer right now, then, although everybody is encouraged to play his turns as it it were on.

Is my memory playing tricks on me, or did you just lose two globals, Ich?

Oh, yes. And over a dozen remote spells on my unprotected capitals. Seems like Arco (or whoever else, but I got only attacked from Arco so far) has way too many gems to burn.

All right, I'm back!

Hope everyone had a great holiday. I'll take my turn in the next few days.

As for Caelum's accusations - I assure you, I know better than to blow so many gems on a single target.

Accusations? I am the damaged party here.

In case you speak the truth this makes the whole situation a whole lot more bothersome than it already is, though. You being the top nation since the early game is one thing. But the thought that instead of doing something about it, somebody would target a lesser fearsome threat considering retaliation like me is sickening. Not only are you the only one with globals right now, you have the Forge of the Ancients up since over a year, which quantum_mechani and other veteran players unisono see as a "sure sign to winning the game". So no, I don't want to believe that some other party would enjoy digging its own grave so fast, since I have not threatened anybody but you (for obvious reasons) and you're the most likely party to make sure that nobody gets powerful enough to be a trouble to you. Prove me wrong, show me that it was somebody else who did this, or I'll consider it your doing.

This game was never a two-horse (or a one-horse) race. I made some really boneheaded moves in the Ermorian campaign that still haunt me, and right now... let's just say I'm probably not the only person with enough intelligence to believe that the game is still very open. I'd rather not go into any more detail on my own in-game weaknesses, and seeing as it's ultimately impossible to prove a negative, I'll leave it at that.

I will 'fess up to the botched Mind Hunts on Thuella, though. Hey, you fired Earth Attacks at me first...

I am pleased how that turned out, yes. Actually it was an oversight on my part - "Hey, you idiot, why do you cloud trapeze into some indies without astral mage support? He's going to Mind Hunt your air queen into oblivion". So I teleported two mages into there, and one of them must have been the very first mage to act in the magic spells phase.

The Earth Attacks was only me toying around, just like the Ettin champion which I used mostly for its comedic value. The situation is a lot more serious to allow such jokes now.
