I do have the uber A4 bless on my vanheim troops, tremble in fear of the 20% air shields.

Edit: scratch that, no bless now =)

It's saying it can't find game.dom3minions.com's IP and asking me to double-check the address. Anybody know what could be causing it? This is before I even punch in the port...

[Gandalf Parker]

Everything checks at my end so Im guessing its with the DNS service of your connection. You might try just putting in the 63.199.8.157 that its trying to look up.

[UninspiredName]

I'm pretty sure it's my side, considering it occasionally works. Thanks for the help, though, I'll try just putting in the IP.

EDIT: Success. Thanks again.

[Strages Sanctus]

[Tyrant]

I can connect ok.

[Strages Sanctus]

Yeah me too now, ty

Is R'lyeh planning to stale while his capital is being sieged? If so, set him to computer control?

Agartha is also looking to stale - maybe we should switch to a 36 hour host interval so people have a little more wiggle room?

[Cerlin]

Pah! I am not stale! Only one turn where my god sleeped. I had to be at school all day, but I took my next turn and all the saved up money is nice, yay new forts! Im good for now on turn speed and if I dont check them at night thats my fault (I actually only missed this last turn by about 5 minutes ><) haha but thats ok. Keep playing! Killing Mictlan is fun.

The prophet of Knife Bright Insight, Iron Lord of the Jotun, speaks the decree of the True God: that the inexecrable cult of Nur Manthu, practiced amongst the degenerate Vanir, must be expunged from the world.

Lest We be thought unjust, we proclaim the 7 vile practices, which designate the nation and cult of Nur Manthu for destruction, in accordance with natural law:

1. Sophistry. The Van are an intrinsically deceitful race, ever cloaked in lies and falsehood. Their nature is so despicable that, if were did not act to destroy their unnatural and false God, they might justify any act of vileness through their twisted logic.

2. Pederasty. The unnatural love between man and boy child, which is the cornerstone of the cult of Nur Manthu and of the transfer of warrior practices between the Van, is an abomination to the True God, whose purview is the fertile power of the pure earth.

3. Incontinence. A physical side effect of the unnatural practices mentioned in point 2. The soiling of the body is a consequence of the degeneracy of the mind, and it is thus doubly offensive to the True God.

4. Cannibalism. Those young boys whom the Van do not use to fulfill one unnatural appetite are designated for another. The natural order of the world describes that the greater should feast upon the lesser, thus the Jotun feast upon men and the men feast upon their defeated foes, or the beasts of the field. For any thing to consume the raw flesh of the young of his own kind, particularly the reproductive organs, is despicable above all other practices.

5. Sacrifice. The cult of Nur Manthu practices blood sacrifice in a fashion that is in accord with neither the heavenly bodies, nor the natural cycles of life and death. The Gygja proclaim these practices Anathema, and a threat to the natural order which must be ended at any cost.

6. Barbarism. The Van have foully murdered several Augur Elder of the empire of Ermor - men of wisdom and learning seeking only to spread the benefits of civilization among the ungrateful and intractable savages. For leading his degenerate worshippers into the crime of murdering these well intentioned scholars, and their legionaire bodyguards - who displayed courage far beyond their humble physical stature - Nur Manthu itself must be expunged from the world and bound forever in darkness.

7. Weakness. Also a consequence of the emasculating practice of pederasty: the Van are weak, like little girls, not only in flesh but in spirit. Such weakness cries out for retribution.

Thus Knife Bright Insight, who is the True God, decrees, and thus shall it be!
