Default Re: Preponderance - Big Team Game! [starting!]

Though I'll tell you what I'm not turned on by - the current turn.

As my partner once told me, "I've got much better things to do than to agonize over submitting turns for this game when I obviously lack the tools to even phase my opponent".

Call it whining, call it whatever you want, I don't care at this point. I've never abandoned a position while I still had the capacity to do my enemies any harm at all. But really that's where it's at now. Before I just start Cloud Trapezing around in a very reckless fashion in my death throes, I'd like to offer up Lanka and Jomon to whoever might be found that can think of funny things to do while you die. Because well, that's what Lanka has left to offer, "funny things to do while you die", and I'm somehow sure that the AI could do more damage in its maniacal fashion, than I can with any clear intent, at this point.

And before anyone opens their mouth to complain, answer the question of whether you have done a single thing to directly impede the rampant and unchecked growth of Midgard. Atul's team is functioning with excellent precision, and that is neither his fault, or anything I am mad about - but Lanka has simply had too many little setbacks, and too long of a game without such a capable teammate, for me to care about at this point at all. The current state of Lanka in this game disgusts me, and I think it would be ridiculous to assume that anyone could feel anything but revulsion for actually running turns under these circumstances.

Just to make a clearer picture for those who are still skeptics- 8/8 commanders lost, and 252/263 units lost. Units killed = 5.

It's not a fight, at this point, it's a hand job, and sadly my frustration with the game runneth over. Sorry.

Yep, that was exactly my position.
Knowing that you were completely unable to affect the outcome in the slightest. You just said it a lot better.
