Gentlemen, I want to thank Valerius for putting this game together, and all of you for making my MP debut a fun (though short) one.

I will be leaving to go out of the country Thursday and have 2 provinces left. I have fought up till now but Staling isn't in my nature. I will complete turns up until Thursday Early Morning and then I will set it to AI so you don't have to wait on me. I would stick it out if I wasn't leaving, but see no reason to drag out the obvious and make everyone wait also....There is one Goody left, My Capitol is available for the one that can get there first and whip the defenders!!!

Good Luck guys and see you in the next one!!!!!!

For those of you in other games with me I will be back Monday noonish and have tried to work something out for each game.

Ragnar, thanks for fighting it out as long as possible. I think it's ok to set yourself AI when you leave (though if the rest of you prefer I can play out Pythium's last stand).

Pjoo, I'm enjoying the Lizard News Channel, now Crystal Ball News Nework, updates. Mr Sphinx may well have my support for Godhood. Unfortunately my vote doesn't count for anything but perhaps you'll manage to convince the other players of the justness of the lizard cause.

NP, I 'Think' I just set it to Ai and sent it in...I had done the turn and when I saw that I was not ging to get another one in I redid the turn by setting it AI...never done that so I wonder if it took.

Thanks all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for playing Ragnars Wolves!

I will be able to play this turn tonight (or earlier at least when it hosts) But I will not be able to play another turn before Sunday. So I would like to ask an extension for next turn till Sunday.

Valerius · #5 October 14th, 2010, 12:02 PM

No problem. I'll set it for late Sunday (maybe 23:00 GMT?).

Crystal Ball News Network reporting live from the bottom of the ocean...
With the lifting of the ban on study of Hydromancy, our researchers have discovered that for some reason, distance that could on land be travelled in several months, only takes two underwater! While most common folk attribute this to cutting corners, our researchers are adamant that the water also creates some kind of anomaly in time-space-magic-continuum, whatever that is.
As the result, underwater provinces are being seized from the evil Ictyid Lords, to be used for troop transportation, logistics and undisclosed plans involving hugs and puppies.
The corals in the province, not being cold-blooded, in fact having no blood at all, have long time ago caught diseases and died, so their usage in armament industry is impossible, and while initially hopeful that the underwater provinces would provide a solid tax base, the population is insisting on paying with some strange enchanted calms, making the provinces useless for any materialistic gain.

Meanwhile, on the eastern front, C'tis army is making their way into Abysia, and have already scored several major tactical and strategic victories, while our so called allies have mostly been picking off the undefended provinces. While the war is expected to be over very shortly, some of the military leadership predicts there will be considerable issues with Abysian insurgent groups for years to come, but Mr. Sphinx is confident that the whole thing can be dealt with in few months and then our troops can come home.

Tomorrow we will discuss the rules of the law, as one of the Marshmasters stands accused of war crimes, most notably "Wasting of magical gems against single independent commanders". Possibly punishments when found guilty include, among other things, being beaten with pillows, having your toes sucked or having your hands cut off, made into a flail, and then be beaten with it, while torturer next to you keeps constantly asking "Why are you hitting yourself?"

The great nation of Shinuyama is pleased to announce that we will fashion Dwarven Hammers for any nation that requires one in exchange for nature gems.

We are having little magical difficulties. Tuning off the channel is suggested, as listening to it at the current time might result in your head exploding, and probably has already caused irreversible brain damage. Thank you for your understanding.

I got Saturday and Sunday mixed up, better be more careful.

Soyweiser · #10 October 17th, 2010, 01:17 PM

Also, I'm back. (And need a new keyboard I think. Somehow a little bit of energy drink went into the keyboard and now a lot of keys behave very strange... typing is still possible. But I have no usable tab key). Also, the crystal ball extension on my keyboard has exploded... anybody know anything about that?

I already did my turn last night. And dropped into a coma after that.

Edit: and somebody has the luckiest pretender ever. I should have attacked that one. Especially now that the pretender's support army has moved away. (You know who you are).
