MP: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!

You probably need to PM Dr. Praetorious directly if you need an extension. I don't think he reads this post anymore.

crap, I don't like server games, I started to do the turn, did "quit without saving" with 3 nations to do the turn and some time later came back to do the turn and I got the new turn :/ and it said that my turn won't be submitted, huh

Lingchich:

I PMed him about 10-15h ago.

Host interval should now be off.

Alright, in all seriousness at this point Ulm/Pangaea are asking for a concession. We have a total of 188 provinces (almost half the map) as well as 4 discount sites (not the ultimate gateway though, I wasn't lying on that). I just finished my research out this turn, and have well over 300 gems a turn coming in, 65 of them in D, which has led to a proliferation of tartarians. I also of course have the Ulmish forge bonus as well as pretty much all of the artifacts worth having now that I wished my gate stone back. Blood income is something like 125/turn, gold is at 6683 this turn.

I've been destroying TC since I started in on him 3 turns ago, the best he's managed is to hold me to a modest 4 province gain on turn 2 when he was poised for a counterattack. Turns 1 and 3 of the fight both yielded about 15 provinces for me. He's inflicted no significant casualties on me, and I've been spending far less than my monthly income on fighting him, the best he's done is scare off a couple of my SCs and lasted long enough to 50-turn rout a third after losing 25 of his sacreds. (one due to the extra cold weather fatigue and one because I guessed poorly on movement and ran into a pile of mages...that one really should have died, in all fairness, but he got surrounded by TC's phantasmal units that had MR resist attacks and was able to recover from the lightning stun damage. He ended up lasting long enough for a third of TCs mages to kill themselves with their communion before hitting turn limit, so even that worked out alright).

Revolution has pledged to keep fighting rlyeh instead of ganging us, so the possibility of a full-game ganging isn't in the cards, which is the only way we could lose at this point IMO, hence the request, since spending hours on my turns for what has essentially become mop up is not much fun.

Thanks,
-Micah

Yes, I don't see anyway anyone can stop us. I am quite a bit weaker than Micah, but I am still very strong. And my Vine Armies, more powerful than ever, are moving into enemy lands. I'm ready for a vote count.

Unless you diehards want to fight it out. It will be long, and bloody, and worthless in the end.

[AreaOfEffect]

I could use a change of scenery.

Besides, my perception of LA Man and how they ought to be played has changed so dramatically that I just don't enjoy playing this version of them at all. Its more like work then a game at this point.

[Zeldor]

As I said to Micah on IRC - if he wins with TC/Jomon/Abysia I won't prolong the game. Even if my nations is theoretically stronger, it can't even partly cover the difference in provs, summoning power etc.

[Hadrian_II]

Abysia has technically already lost, so we dont care if it ends or not.
(but we are still sure, that we would have been able to kill jomon in the end )

[Revolution]

I am willing to concede to Ulm/Pan...I think it's pretty much up to the eastern alliance on if they think they can still take em/ want to fight to the bitter end.

[PsiSoldier]

I'm not ready to concede yet... I'll let you know in a few turns. Some things are in the cards that could change things a little bit.
