Clash of the Newbies! PBEM

[jutetrea]

Atlantis here -

Our scouts are curtailed in the SW portion of the map - how goes the battle? Does Sauro have an overwhelming force? Are we all doomed? Poor Pangaea is being beset upon all sides, the water nations are slowly affecting the ways of the land, Abysia's waterfront is quiet - yet the North and Northeast are unknown.

How goes it?

[Dedas]

Have faith my brother of the sea. Yes, the land dwellers are all doomed to a certain death by poison arrows, this is probably the truth. But I ask you this - does the arrow fly well in water?

Strength in waves, we shall prevail!

New turn is out.

A report from land:

"A mad animal
Man's a mad animal
I'm a million years old, and in my time
I've helped commit a million murders
The earth is spread
The earth is spread thick
with squashed human guts
We few survivors
We few survivors
walk over a quaking bog of corpses... "
-Peter Weiss: "Marat/Sade"

The war is far from over. Sauromatia has not won.

[Cor]

Oceania, I dont have your turn. I will host tonight or tommorow, when i get it. Thanks.

New turn is out. Turns have been slower recently, partially my fault, but it would help greatly if everyone had their turns in in 24 hours.

I am concerned with making sure we can end the game before July. In July I will be out of town for much of the month. Then I move to Hawaii and start school. I think it would be for the best If i did not host during that period.

I think that it is quite likely that the game will be over before any of this comes to pass, At least that is my hope. If not I will look for someone to take over hosting, perhaps one of you?

[Jazzepi]

I'd be fine with just setting myself to AI at that point, I'm pretty much out of this game. This was my first real multiplayer experience and I did about a million things wrong. Now I know better, but I really ham stringed myself quite a bit.

I think we will be done way before July..

With the time difference between us though, it is very hard to promise 24 hour turns. For me it is best if turns are hosted and sent around 18:00 (+1 GMT), that gives me all evening. If very much later it will be next day, and sometimes I may have some real life stuff to do off course ;-)

If any real hosting problems occur around July, I could take it over I guess, I'm hosting one other game as well at the moment.

By the Holy Snake!
That was a worthy battle and a sight to behold. For the first time, Pyre's magic truely wreaked havoc. Not enough to brave the mighty armies of Sauromatia, but I'm sure we'll meet again.

[Cor]

Well met worthy foes of Arco! I will likely never again see such a battle in all my days! Surely all the other nations knew our struggle by the shaking of the ground and the heavens falling to earth.

Seriously, i wish you could have all seen this most recent battle, between Sauromatia and Arco. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, It muct have taken 20 mins to watch the whole thing. On my side there were hordes of Fire Elementals and a legion of Ant warriors. With assorted mages. RicoRico's side there were tons of heavy calvary, archers, and a lot of skeleton summoning mages lead by a dreadful vangard of 10 Hydras. The same ten hydras I have been fighting for months without inflicting a single casualty. Today all those Hydras are dead.

Our people rejoice even in our defeat!

I am not smart enough to get screen shots. Can you RicoRico?

[Dedas]

Give me a gory battle picture!
