MP: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game Over. Vets defeat Noobs.

Perhaps the other vets should take a lesson from Caelum and shed some provinces. Much less micromangement that way.

[TheDemon]

Perhaps if you realized why I'm still kicking your armies around with less provinces you might have been able to prevent it

[Lingchih]

Mysterio sees all that is happening, and laughs. All is going towards the plan.

Now, If he could just find a way out of hell, all would be good.

Hey guys I'm going away for the (US) holiday weekend on saturday morning. Won't be back until monday evening some time. I'm not in control of my ride so I dont know when I will return on monday.

The next turn should be up soonish so I should be able to get that done before I go away. But if the new turn generates quickly, can you please delay it until tuesday night?

Go ahead and get turn 31 in if ya can. Delay granted (if needed).

On behalf of the noob team, I've no choice but to concede the game to the vets at turn 31. I'm proud of the fact that we've lasted longer than the vets did in the previous game and (as of turn 31) all our nations were still alive.

I believe we had become complacent and lost the hunger that we had in the previous game. The noobs simply could not match the maniacal revenge driven determination of the vet team. Communication problems added to our woes and our numerical superiority was simply not enough to combat the experience of the vets. Nor was it enough to overcome the considerable initial advantages granted to the vet team, for which I take full responsibility.

I will allow the game to continue for a few more turns for education's sake.

My congratulations to the vets. It will soon be time for our final showdown.

Not to be an ungracious winner, but I would venture that the much larger map size had something to do with that.

In any case, thanks to all the newbs for playing, it was well fought. I look forward exchanging impressions of the game from both sides.

Awww... Mysterio never even broke out of hades. What a shame.

Good game though Sept and noobs. We had lots of fun.

Well, maybe if we play a turn or two more, Mysterio will be able to break out and see all the lands his Jarls conquered for him.

I'll post of pic of the fabled Mysterio when he finally breaks free. I haven't even seen him yet.

I will also open up the vet board for viewing by anyone, once we finish up.
