Hello CUnknown:

I will endeavor to get a hearing before the Council to present your argument against the growing empire of pond scum. However, the First Speaker of the Council has very anti-Ulm sentiments due to nasty crimes committed by a few Ulm thugs against his family when he was a child. He even got a law passed to change the name "Ulmish Tuna" (canned tuna) to "Freedom Tuna." Nonetheless, I will see what can be done.

Pasha

Thank you Aku, for the game! You sure lingered long.

I would exchange 5 provinces to 2 castles and a province any day. (You weren't trying to obscure your major SCs starting their assault in my backyard, now were you?) Everyone can count the provinces, I'm sure, so I don't think you'll be able to confuse anyone with your claims.

The one who's got the lead is you, with your SCs that are on another level compared to mine and humongous armies of concentrated ***-kicking! I'm sure that Astral Corruption (Nice move, Boron!) won't harm you none either, what with your immense lead in armies and items. Pasha oughta attack you ASAP, and so should Boron: I'm sure you'll hack me down to size even if they cut you up at the same time.

Also, wouldn't it be a nice tradition, me winning these games one after the another

I've got to side with Jurri on this one. Two Castles are worth far more than 5 provinces. Expecially if you leave about 50 guys in each as you move on. There's nothing worse than a siege. Best of luck to both of you.

Actually, I lost big to Astral Corruption this turn. I don't want to say how big, but it was substantial. I have to keep casting spells, there really isn't much option. And when the doom horrors come, you're basically toast.

About the 5 provinces v 2 castles thing, I was just pointing out that my "concentrated asskicking" isn't buying me anything. As long as I lose more provinces each turn than I gain, I'm due for ruin, castle or no. I thought that in the beginning of Jurri and my war, that I would be taking more provinces than I'm loosing. But so far that hasn't been the case. And when Jurri is able to bring his incredible gem production to bear, I'm in for some big trouble.

Now I wonder who will claim the fire kings now that they are available.

And Pasha is lucky I didnt get a chance to slay his god a second time because he chose to cowardly hide behind his skeptics.

PashaDawg · #**476** August 17th, 2005, 09:15 PM

Cowardly? Bah! Wise. Why make a frontal attack and risk losing my armies needlessly? What would I say to all the Arco orphans? Bah! Your candles were snuffed fair and square.

"And when the doom horrors come, you're basically toast"

You can only get these via Wish, right? Wasn't Wish removed in Zen's spell mod?

CUnknown · #**478** August 18th, 2005, 09:16 PM

Yes, that's true Jeffr.

I was talking about Astral Corruption. (!!!!!!!!!!)

Damn, that spell is horrifying! I didn't realize it sent Doom Horrors after you, I thought it was just lesser horrors and medium horrors.

I got assassinated by multiple Doom Horrors this past turn for daring to cast spells when Astral is Corrupted.

jeffr · #**479** August 19th, 2005, 12:54 AM

Ah, ok. I've never made it far enough to be nailed by this spell.

Hi Guys:

So, The Panther is filling in for me again while I am off to Wyoming.

I will be back on Wednesday night (Aug. 24).

Thanks.

Pasha
