Marmoset - MA game with mod nations - full

[Sombre]

As llama starts to feel better I come down with the flu. That's timezones for you.

[Digress]

I have come down with something too - bleh.

While the Skaven welcome disease in all its guises Clans Moulder and Pestilens claim to have no role in either the creation or dissemination of the current outbreak.

Skavenblight appears to have run out of space (and pushed unrest up perhaps a little high ) in which to harvest the blood slaves required to spawn replacements for its army.

We continue to consign Ulm's greatest mages to the grave in feats of mindfrying brilliance (though my prophet got fried simultaneously this turn). Their armies continue forward in slow and somewhat disjointed steps grinding us further into the dust.

As for Man - well you best ask them about their continued campaign.

I'm off on holiday to the Netherlands from tomorrow, just until Sunday night, to visit an old housemate of mine. Hopefully I'll be able to whack Dominions on their computer, but I'm not sure just how regularly I'll get to play so I think I had better stick the timer on 48 hours.

Hi guys,

The observant among you will notice that something went screwy at hosting time. It's fixed now, but I'm afraid I have to ask you all to send your turns in _again_ - sorry!

[llamabeast]

Okay, I'm back, and due to impeccable timing with screwups on the LlamaServer, I won't miss a single turn! Amazing!

I will set the timer back to 24 hours. I anticipate pauses will be needed soon, but I will wait until I'm asked (but you should feel free to ask whenever it would be convenient).

[llamabeast]

Hmm, it seems I accidentally left the timer on 48 hours, so the game won't host until tomorrow night - unless we all get our turns in tonight. It's back on 24 hours now anyway, although I expect it can't be long till people will need christmas pauses (personally I'm all good till christmas eve though).

<Bitter> Right. I've sent my Pretender to gun down a Skaven commander that was starting to really get on my nerves (and hopefully snatch one item or two from said commander). The mission was a success, and my Pretender routed the enemy army. Then I yelled 'Victory!' and my Pretender proceeded to cast Immolation on himself. Mind you, the other targets in the vicinity were utterly harmless, and my Pretender was 100% Fire Unresistant.

The end result is, of course, a Pretender back in the capital, no items, and one province still held by the suicide-inducing PD of doom. Of course, it wasn't exactly the biggest battle in the war, but I shudder to think of what else the spellcasting AI might shoot out. Is that sort of stroke of genius current, and I've just been lucky so far? </Bitter>

That aside, that war with Skaven is amazing funny in the 'sheer incompetence' department (mine, that is). I guess it'd help if I actually had some sort of strategy and tactics that didn't suck. At least I can do the AI thing and pump armies left and right, hoping Skaven will eventually run out of money... hey, if the AI is holding me down in another game that way, I guess it works. Next time, remind me to stay neutral if I can't fight three-against-one.

In unrelated news, I'd appreciate an extra 24 hours on December 24, as I'll spend most of the day trekking back to France.
