Mongoose - Starting (at last!)

[Eldanesh]

I'm aware these things were out of character. Considering I'm playing Ulm with 3 drain U'd think I'd be trying to be dense and honest.

You mean the things were "in character", on both sides, right? Out of character means that we would've been going on at each other on a personal level rather than as leaders of nashuns that are at odds. And you DO have an excellent point there! I never thought of it that way (the drain and denseness thing). It's kinda funny how I *constantly* use IC (short for in character lawl) rhetoric and then fail to realize when others do the same sometimes. Pretty fun way to play 'em, I must say. Well, not so fun for ME when the things started happening, because it lead to a heap of trouble and some frustration, but in retrospect, it's been a fun lil "debate".

No, there's not an agreement on anything. I'm just playing my nation in a roleplay sense (devious Illithid and all that) and such and such. If you want explanations, Abysia also broke against a non-aggression pact when he went for Ulm when Ulm attacked me, which made it easier for me to go against NAPs when he came under attack. And I was seriously afraid that you guys would actually destroy Abysia in a quick, swift stroke, just like you did with Ermor. I was taken by total surprise when the armies started falling like flies.

The reason our armies fell like flies is the same reason you'll die to him also--summoned devils.

Remember that he's sitting there blood hunting and forging soul contracts. Each soul contract yields 1 devil/turn until the mage dies. Remember, also, that since they are not recruitable they have no price--and thus no upkeep. We knew the danger, we just didn't realize it was already too late.

Er, good question. Will investigate...

[Sensori]

Edited for the fact that now it's showing everything just right. ;p No turn received, though.

Thanksjoo, Llama!

[llamabeast]

Hopefully you should have a turn now. I got it to resend them all.

I added a fix to the code to cope with the new unusually-named files that LA Pythium produces. Turns it was not so much a fix as a bungle though. Hopefully sorted now.

[fabio80mi]

Thanks llamabeast! received the fixed turn and seems ok!

[BigandScary]

I am traveling from today until saturday. I think that I will have internet access, but it is chancy.

[llamabeast]

Erm, do you want me to postpone hosting?
