I beleive it's an international phrase. Russians play cards as well, not poker, but other games.

There are days I hate this game. Why he didn't cast his scripted antimagic, I'll never know.

Anyway, guys - check the hall of fame. Its that bad.
You might want a small pause to decide whether to continue the game. I vote in favor of just declaring arco the winner.

I'm actually not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing on the hall of fame... it's still mostly your guys, plus my prophet the Fir Bolg Commander who somehow got the credit for 132 kills (I'm guessing a bug) and a few of Arcoscephale's guys. Still, I have no chance of winning the game, so I won't stop you folks who do have one if you want to conclude.

Wow, I haven't seen the new turn yet, but juging Cris's comments my risky covert operation succeded. I'll watch it tomorrow morning, but my guesses for not casting antimagic are: 1) he had no required gems; 2) he was engaged melee combat.

Those arco guys used to be my guys last turn.

Putting aside game talk for a minute, I really don't understand how that turn is mechanically possible.

From page 71:
Phase 6: is magic battles.
phase 12: is Friendly movement
phase 13: is other movement

I can understand you teleporting in - thats why *I* cloud trapezed in, with guys specifically to cast antimagic.

What happened is this:

1. Winged Dog (moves/teleports in) no antimagic goes off. Winged defeats me.
2. My guys trapeze in, and move in (two separate actions).
Winged defeats me again. (one battle)

I don't mind losing - in fact I'd say great game. (though I'm sorely disappointed) .. but I'd like to know why it didn't go:

EITHER

My unit cloud trapezes / Wing teleports - Battle
my units move in - battle.

OR

My unit cloud trapezes
My unit moves in
Winged Dog moves in - Battle.

I've just watched the battle. What can I say, Chris, antimagic costs 1 astral pearl, and your mage had none, that's why he didn't cast it. About the sequence can't tell you anything - I've seen only 1 teleported mage of yours.

I had requested a delay!

I didn't even get to consider that turn - let alone enter a turn.

Gentlemen, Actually I have been engaged in a wonderful war with Sauro which he just won for all practical purposes and did a great job of it.

I was going to have to stale 2 or 3 turns as I leave Weds morning to play Rugby in Aspen for a week (I'm sorry I knew this was coming up but I honestly forgot about it until this past week at practice).

Seeing that the graphs indicate a winner and the fact that some are calling for a declared winner I will instead of letting my game stale put it on AI after this turn.

Thank you for a great game and learning experiance as I am new.

Good luck and I will see you in future games.

To Sauro...GREAT GAME, well played.

Well I want to express my frustration.
I had the 75 fire gems (just got them the turned that staled) to blind his god - and while he would have won, I hate getting a stale turn, and hate the way this ended.

However you are a brilliant player Whisker. Great job.
