Jaguar - finished, Szumo declared winner

I'm only facing a communion involving close to forty Star Children. I'll have to think on this, dammit.

Hey, I'm back! Did the problems with the server accepting e-mails go away in the end?

Yikes!

Dear Man:

The mighty nation of Pythium is famed far and wide for its generosity. Recognizing the onerous task involved in managing provinces, we propose to relieve you of this task by means of reorganizing the distribution of security forces along our shared border. By thus reformatting the political alignments of the local terrain, we hope to enact mutually beneficial developments, as the renovation of the religious structures in that vicinity will introduce somewhat superior scales. These happy developments shouldn't trouble your nation, but as we know, change may lead to anxiety in some cases. Thus, our legionnaires have volunteered to introduce you to their excellent therapy devices, which will enable you to relax in a once in a lifetime fashion- just ask any bakemeno you see! It's so relaxing, that only a few turns ago we nearly succumbed to a deluge of bakemeno seeking to take part in our revolutionary methods, but our therapy forces were able to deal with it, just as they may deal with any stressed individuals you send our way.

Needless to say, given the generosity of our offer, we felt compelled to allow you to take part in it as soon as possible, and have therefore already initiated the first steps of this marvelous program.

OOC: If I had an NAP from man, and didn't know it, I apologize. I trawled through my pms, and couldn't find one, and don't remember receiving in game messages from man, either.

[Loren]

There was no NAP.

You're probably going to win but you're going to lose those armies you sent down in the process.

I never had a chance in this game, the only province with any decent income is my capital. Everything around me is either swamp or forest.

[sum1lost]

Eh, I had to expand south because my income is as bad as yours- forests and mountains, with a couple swamps. If I had the choice, I wouldn't be going against you- I don't relish fighting the longbow-knight armies that man always seems to field.

Yeah, that's exactly what's going to smash into you. We'll probably end up taking each other out.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Not if me and R'lyeh are fighting each other until the end of time. I think you could have five men left alive, and we'd be to busy throwing spells at each other to go out of our way and conquer you.

And if you'd attacked one of us, who knows what would happen. You'd have R'lyeh expanding all the way up the western edge of the map with the world's highest gem income, or you'd have me moving my decrepit mages and golems oh so so slowly southward behind an easily defended mountain range. While a turtle or snail passes me in traffic.
