No, not at all. R'lyeh was just chilling under the waves, and then BOOM! Arcane Nexus out of nowhere. It was that 20% off site that tempted you, wasn't it!?

Your Cyclops was plenty tough. I only killed him by making him rout without a province to retreat to.

Yeah, it was the site. I wasn't sure if the site counts for extra gems in global - I read somewhere that it starts to count extra gems after the "real" cost (150 pearls in the case of arcane nexus), but it lets you cast it with the bonus - effectively wasting your gems/bonussite if you want to have it reinforced against dispels. I'm still a bit intrigued - did anyone try to dispel that nexus at any point? It probably got me over way over 2500 pearls in the time it was up.

Out of curiosity, how many gems did you use anyway?

Quitti · #4 February 17th, 2009, 10:31 AM

For the Nexus, or out of all I got

?

Nexus was something like 170 pearls, so a simple 50-60 pearl dispel would've taken it down - though I kept around 300 pearls at all times for next nexus in case it was dispelled. Out of those pearls I got, I used mostly all of them to various things - mainly wishing. I had 30-40 clams going on at peak also I think.

Hey guys, my computer is on the fritz so if you don't mind I'm going to delay the game a day or two. With luck I'll have everything sorted by the end of the weekend, if not I'll hand over admin duties to someone else and let you guys look for a replacement or just set me to AI.

Really? Only 170? Damn, I should have dispeled it when I had a chance, but it could seem useful for keeping those gems around and not spending them too much.
I have more clams going on than you, so...
I'll take a look at my turn finaly and see if it's time forSauromatia to cast AN now. That could actually work very good with my AC.

Wow! Nice.
Congrats to Agartha, I see those gems you received from TC payed off.
For the record my well had 250 death gems in it.

The Sauromatian threat of AC has been eliminated now that the AI has taken over.

When would be a polite time to begin the war for the Oceans?

Oh, just let us pull back our troops from the Sauromatian steppes so the armageddon can begin...

Alright, my computer has gone meltdown yet again and I'm going to have to order away for a replacement part. This coupled with work becoming more and more hectic has convinced me that I'd be better off backing out of all my games for the time being.

Anyone who wants to take over as admin PM me and I'll pass along the code then you can start looking for a replacement.

It's a pity though, I was looking forward to seeing who'd claim the ruins of this world.
