Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - started

[llamabeast]

Jazzepi, I want to make one thing clear straight away: I can see the time Shard's e-mail was sent, and it was indeed before hosting. Furthermore it arrived within a few seconds of hosting. There's no way he could have used information from the hosting. That's quite an important point - if there was any way he could have seen the new turn before sending his e-mail, I obviously would not have rehosted, because that would have been stupid.

So, you're not being punished for him making a mistake. As far as you're concerned the situation is as it would be if he had taken his turn well in advance.

I'm very sorry that this happened in the way it did, because I can see that it must be very annoying for you. But please remember - the injustice is only the same as happens every time I give someone an extension without them asking, which happens reasonably often. No more.

[Jazzepi]

That's not at all what I thought was going on. Apologies for protesting so much. Carry on!

Oh phew, that's a relief.

Okay all, we are back to normal service.

[DrPraetorious]

That went well, all things considered.

If anyone else wants R'lyeh territory, other than those to whom I've been sending Goblets, confer with me first - I don't doubt that he'll invite people to take his territory once it's clear he can't win, and I don't intend to stop going just because someone else has lain claim to some of his lands.

The vile denizens of the deep, R'lyeh, have invaded my lands.

We call upon all the free, sane peoples of the world to join us in repulsing their evil, before it is too late.

Amhazair said:R'lyeh hardly can be accused of having a disciplined military machine backed up by the immensly powerful forge of the ancients. Anyone with ambitions of winning the game should be more worried about that enchantment than about anything I can do...

In view of his last post, it seems the good doctor is agreeing with me. Utgard is now churning out Tartarians, equiped with extremely powerful, forge-cheapened artifacts, and while so far he's mainly killed some (quite a lot of) chaff, his potential for growth is huge.

Anyone intrested in defeating this power (or even slowing it down while you further your own plans) is free to contact me. I'm still in perfectly good fighting shape, and anything you can do to hurt Utgard (Ritual spells of any kind - I can provide the coördinates where they will do the most good; donations to the poor, bereaved nation of R'lyeh will obviously be put to their best use in dealing with this threat, or setting up a fund to dispel FoTA - though I'm afraid that will require a lot of pearls )will prolong this conflict, and give you more time to rise to world domination.

In the meantime, The Hunger Without Thought shall continue to feed, and the nation of R'lyeh wishes you all pleasant dreams.

[DrPraetorious]

I agree with nothing of the sort!

R'lyeh has not yet grown so powerful that he can stand against a military axis containing 3 players. While I'm pleased with my tarts, those are only a few thugs - R'lyeh has communions of star spawn, which, if left alone, can be rendered virtually immune to the overland attack spells which he wishes you to fling at my armies.

This is not to be tolerated - we must end R'lyeh quickly and decisively.

[Amhazair]

I'd like to request a 24h extension if possible. I just realised we're having an after-work drink tomorrow, so I won't be able to submit my turn in time.

[llamabeast]

Done!

[DrPraetorious]

Oh, argh! He is *so lucky*! He took out my blood-master, preventing her from erasing the fatigue on my communion!

Grrr! Snarl! 19 slaves, down the drain.

Well, I'll send two of them next time.

Amhazair apparently is having computer problems, so I've postponed hosting to give him time to fix it.
