Well, that was painful. I think I liked your first attack better, DC.

After having such excellent luck with horrors attacking provinces and scouts then taking over my luck changed this turn. In almost every case the scout arrived before the horror.

BTW, Burden of Time was a nice touch - boots of youth won't help me against that.

Hehe V, it was mutually painful - I liked your first - "passive resistance" non-attack better than the endless horror spam. The newer players in the game will enjoy that experience should they have the chance to fight you. I remember the first time I got horror spammed I was like - wtf - I just lost my entire kingdom in 1 turn...

Anyway gents, I need to ask for a 24 hour extension. Just returned from a week of business travel and its the wife's b-day tomorrow. I almost have my turn done, but need to give it a careful lookover to counter Valerius's insidious plans

We may even consider going to 72 hours though I have enjoyed the quick pace in this game. Things will speed up for me after Thursday in any case. Thanks, dc

I'm glad you extended hosting. I was thinking of asking for a delay as I would have had to rush to complete my turn.

Now if I can only think of something effective to do. The horror spam was almost a complete failure - not only did I not take many provinces but I think you got most of them back the same turn when your troops moved. Time to try Plan B. Hmm, I did have a Plan B, didn't I?

I'm ok with sticking with 48 hours, with delays as needed. My empire is becoming smaller and easier to manage anyway.

I'd be okay with 72-hour hosting.

the kernel makes his move! be sure to cut Pan in on your newfound wealth.

I am happy to keep it at 48 hours and just be liberal with extensions as needed.

Sure, DC, Arcoscephale will be happy to cut into you with its newfound wealth....

Our lawyers have researched the burdensome issue created by your recent casting of a murderous global, and discovered an established precedent in intercosmic law[1-8]. Therefore:

For the magical ravages upon our lands and incomes thereof and for the hastened demise of our elderly researchers, we must now consider the NAP between Pangaea and Arcoscepahle to have been rendered null and void by Pangaea's casting of the Burden of Time. Furthermore, the existing state of peace and commerce between our two nations is no longer possible in this environment. We hereby declare immediate war upon the nation of Pangaea.

We in Pan once held Arcosephalean scholars in high esteem but they have clearly lowered their academic standards. Relying on the ramblings of treacherous rogues to justify their causa belli is a travesty of international justice. Unfortunately, now that our last friend has stabbed us in the back, Pan is now at war with the whole world and has no court to which we can appeal, other than the old fashioned trial by blade!

Did someone just cast Wrath of the Sea or is that just flooding from all of the crocodile tears shed by Pangaea's propaganda ministry?

Abysia welcomes the noble nation of Arcoscephale to the fight against Pangean tyranny!

United the nations of the world will surely (well, hopefully) prevail against Pan's army of tartarians.

In other news, the Abysian military command has been ... retired ... due to complete incompetence in the waging of this war.

Our thread slipped to the 2nd page so thought I'd take this opportunity to check in with all my foes. How are those old mages holding up?
