Countdown

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?

[Fakeymcfake]

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

Done.

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

Personally I'm still very much in a sort of dusk area, perhaps something in a nice ambient light... overcast perhaps...

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...

[Eximius Sus]

My understanding, and of course I could have my interpretation wrong, was that each was offered 10 Marverni provinces. Not a bad deal really.

[Debaser8]

I haven't received any offer of any territory of Marveni.

I don't have a good idea of the power of Astral Nexus. Is it all non-astral/blood ritual spells and items or does it include gems used in battles? What percent of gems used does it give to the caster?
