MP Game - Live and Learn (newbie game)-running

Oh, my. I was not aware we had to appologize for killed scouts. I am catching at least three each turn, and it has been up to six on some. I am sure that there are some scouts in my lands, mostly because I never secured my southern border, but the ones trying to enter now are very likely to get caught. Sorry, but a girl has to have her secrets.

By the way, if I ever catch the one who wasted 250 gems dispelling my totally innoffensive enchantments... but whom am I kidding, I will never know who he is. Bleach, I sympathise with your loss.

Oh, and stop calling me a vulture. I've heard it now from three people. I had nowhere to go but to war. And anyone who thinks that Jotunheim was carrion before I started has a lower opinion of eleven fully equiped Jarls than I do. We had a few nice fights... and I lost two of them.

[Schmoe]

By my count you owe me at least 4 apologies

I'm sure more are coming, too. But look at my situation, I only have a few provinces that can produce scouts near my borders, and scouts produced deep in my dominion are most likely to die a prolonged, painful, disease-ridden death before they can be of any use to me. About the only place I can send scouts is through Vanheim territory, so it's nothing personal, you're just lucky.

Two-hundred pounds of gold for Schmoe's Head. Those C'tis are up to no good I tell you!

Hmmmm, interesting proposition...

If you are counting us as one of your three people then your count is incorrect. We called the Vanheim "carrion crows"

Don't be bitter, YC. I'm sure someone's going to try soon enough. Right now there's an interesting three-way standoff between Vanheim/Abyssia/C'tis. It's hard to say who's the most powerful at the moment. I have more territory and income, but Vanheim has the most research and some truly terrifying SC's, and Abyssia has a scary devil factory going as well as a few arch-devils. I don't think that Pythium, Machaka, or Arco are quite on the same level at the moment, but they will still play a pivotal role in the game and could still maneuver into a position of strength.

Of course, I wouldn't be where I was now if I didn't have all of the fertile fields that Mictlan once held The people are much happier under the rule of the wise and beneficent Stygos. Those who survive the miasma, that is.

[YellowCactus]

Bitter,
Oh-No. I had lots of fun in this one. However, Schmoe needs an ample bundle of Whoopin' just to keep those forked tongue lizards in line! They're so Scaly and ickie. Demonic faithful of Mictlan couldn't hold back the swamp things.

Nah, I don't really think you're bitter. Just teasing.

Question: What's limp, crippled, mute, lost an arm, weakened, has a chest wound, and has battle fright?

Answer: The Mictlan prophet after a holiday in the swamps!

Hehe.

Oh yeah, Thufir, Pythium is the only nation left to go for the next turn.

I actually felt really bad about invading you. But put yourself in my place. I had nowhere to expand, and had I attacked C'tis, the two of us would have been easy pickings for whoever emerged victorious in the Abysya war.

And did not give me an easy time of it. Your flying Jarls came as a total surpise to me, and my economy is still recovering from their raids. You caught one of my main armies while the anti-air support was AWOL and wiped it out.

But put my mind at ease. You were going only after me, right? I would hate to think I was dealing with one third of your forces.

Yeah I threw everything at you I knew the moment you invaded me it was the Last nail in the coffin, and it was bitter because my war with Abysia had just wound down and I still had Forge up. If I had been left alone for awhile I would have been a happy little clammer

I think you just killed Pythium. But then, what do I know...
