Certain dark being once said: "People are flames to be blotted out."
While the topic on what defines a person is debatable, flames were blotted out.
Not all of them, though. The Flame of Abysia is said to be eternal: and it is. Even though it was conquered, humbled and defeated, it continues to burn. It now burns in the hearts of the conquerors and one has to wonder who conquered whom.
What we have lost is another fine nation of masters of such flames. However, like their work, the eternal flames, their legacy shall live on in the minds of all of us. In a form of a song, for example!

Any last hope of survival was mercilessly quenched and the light has gotten dark as last of Abysians perished. One has to wonder though: what lies beyond?

Gentlemen (or women, as the case may be).

It is likely that Ashdod is about to stale for the second time. Now, I am fairly certain that Anaconda needs to travel on a fairly regular basis, so it may well be that he will be able to rejoin us.

In the event that this does not happen, and it looks like he will stale for a third time in a row, I would propose that we turn Ashdod to AI and push on with the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

What are people's thoughts on this? Lucy: Feel free to draw a picture to express your opinion, if words are not sufficient to express your feelings on the matter.

I just had a look at the graphs for the game, showing army size and number of provinces. Two things stuck out:

1) Man is in a world of hurt. I thought last turn was an aberration. Now I am wondering if it was the norm, and all of Man will be gone within the next three or four turns?

2) Pan is still holding in there, fighting the brave fight! What we really need now is for the original player to return and fight their way back into the game :-)

Out of interest, will TC be honoring their three turn NAP with Ulm, or have they thrown such niceties overboard in their quest to save Juicy Lucy?

Given that Tien Chi formally cancelled their NAP in turn 60, it would appear that they intend to honour it.
I will fairly soon be running out of unfortified provinces to raid though

Also, stupid Ettins that failed to take Marx teachings to heart! So easily are the swayed by some actually not quite charming Mannese tree huggers!
(they all have MR20 or higher, which apperantly is not a safe zone for charm)
I need a thorough investigation by the NKVD on my Wild Etting Corps!

More interestingly, the comparably high education of wardens of Avalon makes them capable of understanding the progressive Ulmish cause! In several battles, they flat out refused to attack the angelic Iron Agents of the Revolution at all (muahahhaha, Halt heretic 8

)! Is perhaps a proletarian overthrow in the works?

You are watching: Ulm news, fair and heavy!

Its seems some Knights of Man have created a smart strategy to limit their exposure to Ulmish awesomeness, as Knight Commander Wight D. Montgomery phased it: "Rapid tactical lighting advances into our own rear area!", while their Ulmish opponents prefer the term "running away quickly in a fairly shocked manner". One of those Knights got dismounted by an Iron Angels casual backhand slap, picked up his horse and, while carrying his horse, was running away quicker than he was while riding it! Truely, tactical destruction squads of iron Angels can be excellent incentives for rapid gains in the field of light athletics!

In related news:
* Pan continues to hold out in the capital of Marignon, fighting the good fight. Illegal betting agencies are currently offering odds of 3:2 that Pan will outlast Man
* T'ien C'hi has cunningly chosen to prepare for the upcoming war with Ulm by doing ..... nothing. A spokesman was quoted as saying "doing nothing is the new black - just watch, soon all the cool kids will be doing it".
