MP: Lapis MA CBM Running 6/16 Players left

[Toran]

Hm, you can't claim it's my fault there's no hosting before your return at least. But dang, yep, I'll postpone.

If you could let us know when you'll be back exactly, I could do an exact delay, as I guess that "two weeks" is just a rough number?

[Toran]

Hey there, finally the game continues - great!

I had postponed as I was away and had not found the monkey turn sent in before leaving - didn't want him to stale in this stage of the game. Hosting should continue now as usual. Probably with me losing ~20 provinces per turn

[Kuritza]

Actually, I almost hoped to stale. That would give me a good excuse to go AI and stop playing. I cant begin to tell you how much I enjoyed two weeks without Dominions.
Oh well, back to our slaughter. I hope I'll make enough blunders to lose fast, making 100+ turns in a deliberate hurry. )))

[Jarkko]

For me the most interesting thing of each turn is to see who and where my insane & mind-shattered tartarian attacks next. Last turn she attacked the monkeys, a few turns ago she attacked Pythium, usually she just plunders my lands...

[Toran]

Almost traditional 24h delay request from my side...

[Toran]

Hey there.

After checking my turn, and talking to Kuritza, I would like to offer my conceding to him - thus ending my part of the game. Obviously, there's still other players left involved, so I need to ask you.

My position is weaker than Bandar Log's for sure, and I took two severe defeats this turn. Although I still have forces left (and know that an ending could be dragged out for a few dozen turns..), I want to honour the circumstances - and accept him as a winner.

If you are okay with that, I will end the game and declare Kuritza the winner of Lapis...

Toran out.

[AlgaeNymph]

If Pythium concedes then I will as well.

[Jarkko]

I have been hesitant at throwing my weight on either side, as it did seem to me both sides were pretty equal, and my plan was to step on the side who were losing. However, if Pythium is now effectively out (even if I stepped in), then it is obvious the game is over and the apes won.

I made a couple harsh errors (the first being I messed up my pretender thinking she would be able to heal afflictions from the undead; well she wasn't...) of which the mistake of believing that Agartha and apes were allied was pretty decisive. I had a war going on with the apes (I attacked, after duly cutting off the NAP we had) which I thought was going pretty well, then Agartha invaded and I had to divert every reserve to halt them which resulted in the armies fighting the apes getting steamrolled (both wars were pretty much fought under the waves, and I just wasn't able to craft enough UW breathin items to keep enough shamans with the hard-hitters on both fronts; many brains were fried by the apes...). When it dawned to me the apes are not actually allied with Agartha, peace was quickly made (by this time I had already pretty much stopped Agarthan invasion and was taking lands back, but my beuautiful southern armies with unique summons, unique items and whatnots were mostly lost), and pretty soon after Agartha was steamrolled. At this point it was pretty obvious to me it is now a match between Pythium and the apes, and only my miasma (if even that) will allow me to see the end of this game.

Well played Kuritza!

[Kuritza]

Merry Monkeys dont mind being declared a winning nation. ^^ Its good that humans finally agreed to reunite with the mainsteam branch of primate evolution.

[Kuritza]

Ossa, can you please confirm if you are OK with finishing this game too?
