MP: Stasis - MA game. Finished.

[JimMorrison]

I am confused, absolutely confused by your assertion that poor C'tis could do such a thing.

First, I have no mage capable of casting Wish, and second, I don't have it researched.

Maybe, just maybe, you could get over your shock and look at the person who cast Utterdark this very turn. Maybe it will all start to make a bit of sense then.

I am much more likely to pump every gem I have into summons, and turn my last castle into a meatgrinder for my assailant, than to do something silly like hurt everyone else with Armageddon. Oh wait, that's what I did. Ask Mictlan how fun the meatgrinder was, I'm sure he would be willing to attest that I had far too many summons there to have possibly managed a Wish, what with my 4E/3D/4N pretender, and my best Astral mages being a couple of Couatls with Starshine Skullcaps. Tremble, mortal.

[ano]

Well, it seems quite logical to me that it was you who casted Armageddon. Probably, it is better to ask JimMorrison himself if he did cast it. I seriously doubt it. The only nation that could benefit from it was yours

[ano]

My understanding of human psychology tells that AdmiralZhao is trying to cheat us. I understand it is so but I can't really see any sense in it.
Well, so be it. Let's try to do at least something

[JimMorrison]

It's a pretty funny gambit, really. I just defended my lone castle from Mictlan last turn, and barely survived. Maybe he would do us the favor of revealing whether or not there was an S9 mage present.

I agree, looks like Zhao peed in the pool, and pointed at me.

[ano]

Maybe he would do us the favor of revealing whether or not there was an S9 mage present.

I don't think it is needed. Things seem quite obvious to me and I really see no need in lies.

[AdmiralZhao]

Well, as the only water nation left in the game, the pool is Ryleh's to pee in or not as we see fit.

As for S9 casters, I understand that they are not always necessary to cast Armageddon. Our thaumaturges speculate that if a casting of Solar Brilliance was to become corrupted, perhaps by long exposure to vast clouds of poison and stench, that the very solar sphere might be damaged or disrupted, causing all manner of dire portents upon the world.

[JimMorrison]

You're calling swamp gas?

Nothing to see here, and if there was, it's a matter of national security. Move along.

Taking on account in-game (and real life) situation Shinuyama and Ulm would like to take a (at least) 3-day pause. We know that it is a lot and the game becomes very slow but we're at the stage when empires and difficulty are so huge that every turn may be decisive especially taking on account the last turn, armageddons etc.
It's mainly me who needs it. I have a lot of work now and I didn't manage to find a sub. I'm sorry but I don't think game is possible without me now.

[AdmiralZhao]

I'm fine with a pause. Also, if you need help finding a sub, I could do some advertising. Practically anyone is going to be an easier for than you.

[ano]

Hello again. Guys, it's really hard for me to play now and that's true. Sub doesn't really solve the problem because the empire is huge and even experienced player will find it hard to understand all the aspects and plans.
So we have three options now:
1) find a competent sub for Shinuyama
2) continue playing a slow boat
3) agree to a draw

Of course, I would choose third option not because I want to win here(I don't care how this game ends just because I'm extremely tired of Dominions now) but just because my ally will be most probably be doomed if I stop playing. But I understand that Zhao doesn't want a draw and thinks he will win. Let's discuss these options.
I will finish my current turn tomorrow that's why I'm making a one final postpone now.
