War is Hell - Ended. johnarryn wins as EA Ulm.

[Digress]

Without someone ready and willing to sub for Micah and play it out to the bitter end, that is to slow Ulm down by sacrificing Neifelheim while the rest of us form some kind of alliance, its rather pointless.

Ulm got a large province lead a while ago and has continued to expand it. I assume Ulm's gem income is such that any lack of strength in some important magic paths has been overcome and Ulm no longer needs to rely on its recruitable forces for victory but could switch over to summons without a great deal of difficulty. I admit my intel is not what it should be but my sceptics keep dying en masse leaving me a little bit blind.

I certainly don't feel Arcoscephale would constitute more than a speed bump at the moment without a concentrated "everyone one attack Ulm".

So I say no - lets concede it. However if the vote turns out to be a majority in favour of playing on I will happily lead Arcoscephale to glory

Marverni has privately indicated to me that he does not wish to continue, as he is mostly dead at this point... let's wait and here from Sauro and Mictlan, but I do believe the game is done at this point.

I have no idea what is going on outside my land's borders and that isn't much. But I usually like to play the stuff out I started. So I vote "yes".

Mictlan

[Szumo]

I'm ok with ending the game at this point. I think i've learned enough from my first MP game

[johnarryn]

Just repeating the edited post:

Votes: keep going?
Ermor - No
Marverni - No
Sauromatic - No
Arco - No
Mictlan - Yes
Oceania - Yes?

The vote being 4-2 to end it (without counting me), i'm going to end this game, declaring myself the victor.
If Oceania or Mictlan really, really want to keep playing I suppose we can, although the majority seem to be against it.

Also, I will begin recruiting for my next EA random PBEM game.. I want to open that up to the people who were in this game first, so let me know if you're interested. As soon as I start assigning nations, you'll get a PM.

Too bad I wont have a chance to flood you with my niefel flames casting mages. I have 20 or so ready to swarm out of my capital.
I also have about 600 RP a turn
