Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

[Baalz]

So, I'd like to change my vote to be to lay this game to rest. I find myself completely apathetic and phoning in every turn...I feel like there is nothing I can do. I don't mean that as a whiny exaggeration, I mean literally I'm sitting on a pile of mages and gems and I can't do anything productive with them. Just keeping beating back the indie attacks (my luck-3 scale doesn't help much where my dominion isn't) would be pretty much a full time job for my pretender...who of course needs to be called back due to my half-assed efforts. Literally, I've got nothing I can do right now other than perhaps a suicidal plunge into another overlord while I wait for one of the normals to really realize how utterly unable I would be to respond to any kind of attack (hint: Vanheim's blood sac has pushed my dominion out of my capital...so good luck fighting around there). Those of you not playing overlords just consider for a moment how you would plan an attack on another overlord with the assumption that their normal ally is going to counterattack you there where you have no prayer of pushing your dominion. On top of this, the bar is so high for an overlord victory as to be essentially impossible, thus I find it very difficult to much get into doing these turns. I get the impression from general comments from other overlords that I'm not alone in this feeling, so my vote is we call it a successful experiment and gg all.
