....nudge

KC .. I'm attacking T'ien Ch'i. Not sporting of me to battle someone in a stale-spin. I have no doubt you can put a hurt'n on Caelum with those ponies of yours.... and you likely have 1E6 gold for more...

At one point or another, I have had to find subs for or send messages to urge turn taking from Atlantis (before excellent Jarkko), TC, Hoburg, Marignon (now), and Man. That's 1/3 of the players and I don't think any have ever bothered to post a message - just vanish or start staling. While I think most games have 1-2 players vanish or stale, its pretty unusual IMHO to have 1/3 including nations that seem to be doing well. Then throw in the fact the point of this game, which I didn't organize, was to tell a story, not necessarily win. Its pretty sad. When I said I'd admin, I figured I'd change the hosting interval every now and then, not have to be sending PMs to prod players to play or trying to finding subs every other week.

Anyway, my rant is over. I am stuck in this game and now that I have vented I will see if I can find someone to turn TC AI, and sub for Mari.

That is pretty unfortunate. The admin should not have to find subs, people should do that themselves. I find it quite rude when they don't. Unless it's KO of course, sinec he's no doubt working on a new game for us!

TC is now controlled by the artificial intelligence co-designed by its player so the transition should be seamless

Still a pity. It was a good story he started. And I hoped to not need to attack TC right now... Maybe at least some sub could be found?

Could be found by who? Feel free to look yourself. I am trying to find one for Mari who at only 4 stales is probably salvageable. 11 stales is too tough a sell for me.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.

Yes I did write that, an original work. I've been operating several computers for quite some time, and though I've produced countless pages of nonsense, I definitely wrote that paragraph all on my own.

Greetings! New Marignon here. I understand this is a game where Muses roam the map, and I'm wondering what exactly my motivation is supposed to be. Have I been a cruel nation? whipping heretics and so forth? Benevolent? whipping only those heretics who are imprisoned beyond the protections of my nations legal system? Please, give me some guidance!

In the mean time, I shall play the role of Nation in Turmoil - in fact, it seems a military coup has just overthrown the military coup that just overthrew the outgoing government, seizing power with popular support ("Viva La Inquisition!"). Scared but crazed with power, I know I must act quickly to mobilize the proletariat against some imagined foe before they get wise to my incompetence...

Quiet Meadow, sounds of monks chanting in the distance

Military Strongman Turned Leader: "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look..."
Cassius: "Yoink!"
Military Strongman Turned Fatally Wounded Leader: "Naive! But you're too late! My attack orders have already been issued against..." *dies*
Brutus: "Yoink!"
Cassius: "Et tu, Brute?" *dies*
Undead Caesar: "Yoink!" [aside] "I'm pretty sure I could keep this up for quite some time, with each line becoming more intolerable than the last, so you'd better tell me what I'm supposed to be, tuit de suite."

Welcome Cleveland! Chronicle players, through great personal sacrifices, your beloved admin has managed to recruit one of the most humorous and talented writers of the Dom community. Author of the great Lord of the Dai's here among other works of art. If anyone can spark life back into the Chronicles part of this game, its Cleveland (no pressure Cleve). Please PM him if you have any treaties etc.
