[Bwaha]

Crust I cordially invite you to a new game. Its name is Joker. and the theme will be thematic humor. I hope that it will be hilarious.

I find myself with a embarrassing amount of Frost Brands. So I will offer some of them up for sale. I would like to have astral pearls please.

Atlantis we should coordinate our moves a little bit. I don't want any unfortunate collisions with our army's. Ditto for Bandar log. Mictlan you've done a great job defending yourself. But I think your time is about up. Well once more unto the breach, Going forward is the orders of the day.

[otthegreat]

Mictlan, you have defended your homeland with both courage and skill. Atlantis concedes that we cannot defeat you nor you us. We therefore wish to enter into negotiations for a truce.

[Crust]

We are glad to hear the noble Atlanteans have seen reason. Sea-creatures should not pick fights with the eagle or the heron.

How's about you put your money where your tentacles are?

[Bwaha]

Heres my two cents. I think you'll be rather dismayed at the level of magic I now have.

The nation of Ashod is now on the wane, after a mildly effective campaign against Ulm the tides have turned, though we may have lost the battle, we shall not give up the fight, but it is now how much we can do now rather then a fight to win.

[Quitti]

Recently the false god worshippers, big giants from the desert west from Forges of Ulm, the Ashdod, decided that attacking Ulm was a a good idea. Lately though, having beat the weird horned giants back with very minimal losses, and having started to siege the first castle of the few desert cities that the nation of Ashdod posesses, the priest smiths of Ulm can not but wonder;

"Why did they attack us? What did we do to them? Taking our provinces with force brings them nothing but harm. But they must be repelled, and punished for their insolence and arrogance. There can be no Ashdod in the struggle for godhood."

Cladding their forces in mighty black steel, arming their troops with great black halberds, battleaxes and flails, the forces of Ulm, the worshippers of the True God march forward, towards the desert cities of Ashdod. The false god must be beheaded, his disfigured and flayed head displayed over the prime gate of Capitol of Ashdod. Mark our words, their god shall fall. Storm of iron will wash upon their land, leaving it purged of this false faith once, and for all time to come.

[hunt11]

the reason why the nation of Ashod decided that it was time to go to war is because of one simple reason, with no access to any other route of expansion, and seeing what had happened to the nations around you, the council came to a very simple conclusion, either we launch a war now and hope for the best, or die slowly as we watch the game go by while we sit on the sidelines. So we launched our armies, and prepared for what was to come. Though it was a failed attempt, it is better to die fighting, then to die in bed.

Quite true Hunt11....

As one who is running around with 1 pitiful army behind the Nation of Atlantis lines, with the only fate left to us is to be a big Pain in the backside to Atlantis.

Tying up a Couple of small armies chasing me and playing a game of Chess for the last 8 or 9 turns, Taking a Province..setting the taxes to 200 and moving on.

But the Sands of Time are running out as I slowly run out of options. More armies show on the horizan and our backs our agianst Mountians.

I think of a Spartan Mother talking to her son leaving on his first expedition. "Come back VICTORIOUS....or come back on your Shield"

As you fight on Hunt11 I will be brought back on my shield...but we will see each other agian...in the halls of Valhalla where only those that die with a sword in thier hand may enter!!
