I have the admin password now

Let me know if any delays are required.

Oooh! Kailasa putting up the big bucks on an Arcane Nexus with so many people left in play.... Will it pay off or will it get Dispelled?

I'm betting successful collaborative Dispel next turn.

My SOAP is down, though... Why couldn't it have selected someone else's enchantment? :'(

Once again, my capitol has been cleansed of interlopers. Do you like my pretender Twobits? I think she's really cool though the scale sacrifice necessary to make her is rather crippling...

On behalf of my friend playing Kailasa:

I think the other players realize the threat is Marverni. Not Kailasa. Marverni is parked on most of the vps but is not declaring them? Is this a plan to carry this game on to turn 200? Kailasa hopes their good friends will understand the purpose of the spell and realize that its bounty will be spent creative masses of sacred whoopass to beat the snot out of Marverni. Other nations of the world need not be concerned.

lol, Eximius.

You'd best go get a great demagogue like Barack Obama to sell that one.

Regardless of what purpose you state that the Nexus is for, if Kailasa is allowed to make it permanent, then Kailasa will probably win. You're essentially going for a "two-party system" wherein the eventual winner will be either Marverni or Kailasa depending on how you vote for the Nexus.

I propose that the Nexus is at least as great of a long term threat as anything Marverni has.

One itty bitty spell is as strong as that giant army of Icthytids? Methinks thou doth protest too much. Turtle spam FTW.

All right, the last portion of my trip was busy, then followed by a brutal trip home (4 countries and 2 continents in just over 24 hours

). I thought I could keep up with the turns on the road, but obviously missed that last one - and came back to Arcane Nexus!

Well, Hoplo, can you add an extra 24 hours to the timer? I finally got a good night's sleep last night, but need the extra time to wrap my head around this.

Oh, TNN, Abysia, Yomi, Helheim - what are your thoughts on the Nexus, eh?

Done.

My thoughts are that things are more complicated than they were one turn ago.

I wouldn't worry about the other nations Twobits. They've already been brought to the side of light.

Have they now? Well, for their sakes, they better have all cut very good deals (did Kailasa promise a full share of the Nexus proceeds? and was believed?

), otherwise, they just slit their own wrists...
