MP: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Finished (Ulm won by agreement)

[Anaconda]

It did work for me thou...

OOC:

Invasion? Thats just the vanguard!
I anxiously await the next turn, let us see wether my many "cunning plans" work

IC:
Today, Ulm news transcribes the pre battle speech of Field Marshall of the Peoples Republic of Ulm, Georgy Zhukov!

"Soldiers of the People! Protectors of the revolution, liberators of the opressed, banes of tyrants, today, another vile beast shall fall before the armies of progress! The reactionary slaveholders may think that there swamps and miasma protect them, but progressive Ulmish science defeated their cowardly bioweapons! The backward beorgouais put trust in their god, but does their god trust itself? The good efforts of the NKVD, and the proclaimed inevitable victory of Marxism has already swayed many in this province away from this snotty gooseformed abomination. Indeed, many of the lizards rather worship the place on the citywall were comrade Berijas brain impacted then a weird smelly fire thing that cannot even decide wether it is dead or not!
The slaveholder think they can rely on hordes of shambling undead, but does Ulmish steel fear mere bones? What do the warriors of Ulm fear anyway? Death? As your can see and hear when you speak to your Bane comrades, Marxism can defeat death itself, and the best agents of the revolution are not to be stopped by somthing as trivial as death!
Will the goose risk itself in a battle where its rebirth is not assured?
Will it dare to lead from the front? Dare to face me in battle if I lead from the front like I always do?
Look upon them, and see the doubt in their snouts! Look upon them, see the fear that makes their tails quiver, look upon some of them, and see hope in their eyes, hope that the Peoples Republic succeeds, that it liberates them from their heinous overlords and brings justice and equality to them!

Today we fight, today we shall win once more!
To battle, Soldier of the People!

Sorry guys, I have had to travel unexpectedly for work and so my turn is going to be a bit late. I'm going to give myself a small extension (for which I ask you understanding), and promise to have it in as soon as I stop moving for 15-20 minutes. :-)

[krpeters]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I wonder how many troops I could have fielded instead of 86 PD... upkeep probably would have devoured me, though. But it was fun to watch.

For the record, I am VERY impressed that you have lasted as long as you have - respect! :-)

The fact you cause Lung Drago to have to write a rage cartoon about you in the process only makes it all the sweeter IMO

Madnesss? Thisss isss C'tissss!!!

I haven't watched the Ulm news broadcast today, but I suspect that there will be an emergency meeting of the central committee to revise growth estimates following the destruction of the "5 year stone industry plan"- a novel development initiative headed by an eponymous gargoyle, based on increasing stone reserves by turning enemies into stone via magic artifact. The loss of said artifact will no doubt prove a great embarrassment for the party leadership.

[Mightypeon]

Yes, our 5 Year Stone industry plan was a novel and in many ways revolutionary initiative indeed. The next such plan will have greatly increased magic resistance. As soon as we get that Sword back that is

OOC: RAAAAGGGEEEE my SC getting punked by a Ctis Shaman that casted "Opposition" in turn 20 or so...

However, the party leadership is optimistic, in the 2 battles for Ctis, the most awesome and revolutionary forces of Ulm lost a total of 13 commanders and 150 troops, while the antiquated troops of Ctis were loosing a total of 28 commanders and 250 troops.

[BewareTheBarnacleGoose]

You wont be getting the sword back...at least not from C;tis . But otherwise your confidence is warranted- you have indeed decimated by forces, and I dont have any more tricks up my sleeve.

[Anaconda]

1 hour to go, still two missing...

[jimbojones1971]

Mine's in (decided to do it when I woke up, hopefully less stupid mistakes this way), but I saw Pangaea's was still missing.

With respect to Pan, I did give him a +6h extension but that was more because I think we need to decide what we are going to do. Constantly extending the turns for one guy who never communicates probably isn't sustainable. What are people's thoughts?

EDIT: After all that, Pan's turn is in too - yay!
