Awwww, poor Mischief. He was so hopeful when I talked to him about possibly competing in the Deathmatch.

To Mischeif's great misfortune, the Atlantian champion was wielding a Demon Bane. And was their prophet.

Accidentally ordered one of the Celestial Masters to pillage my capital. Argh…massive unrest and income drop.
I guess he just went ballistic, staring a little too much at the stars.
Or it was another one of Pan’s infiltration moves…dropped some strange mushrooms in Li Poo’s tea or something.

[Ironhawk]

Hahaha, nice DC. I bet you that it was Pan - that is thier version of "insanity dominion"!

[cleveland]

We certainly won't deny that we've got the mushrooms on the payroll, along with the bok choi, okra, and 3 varieties of thyme.

However, upon review of Li Poo's dossier, we have to conclude that - as expected - he was simply performing a heroic act of civil disobedience against an oppressive bureaucracy. No tanks to stand in front of, so he decided to go on a maniacal killing spree. It happens.

I'll bet Little Grom wishes he'd exercised a bit of civil disobedience of his own and ducked that draft...

[DonCorazon]

Oppressive? Hmm…perhaps. We will send that to the Ministry of Self Reflection for analysis.
After all Li Poo was last seen running naked through the Imperial Administrative Offices shouting “Fook da Man!” with a couple of Grateful Dead maenads in each arm.

Btw, the death of Little Grom (son of Gromulos) was particularly sad – watching a decked out golem being smited to death is not cool.

I am happy to report that the fortress of Utgard has indeed fallen. Seeing his inevitable demise, the false god of Utgard drew down a curse on all the souls in that battle, but it did little good. The brave troops of Mictlan soldiered on, hacking thier way through giants and skeletons alike.

Unfortunately, the cost for taking that fortress was high. The corpses of many bone fiends and jaguar demons are piled up against the walls of the fort. My priests tell me that it will take almost a week to clear them all away. However, its not really all that bad, because I would have executed all the jaguar demons for thier failure to fly over the wall during the battle, anyway.

Strange - I was looking at the Llamaserver status page and thought it said turns were due in about 15 min (14:15 GMT). Then I hit refresh and now it say 20:15 GMT?

Omni is getting back from a trip today. I extended the deadline to let him get his turn in.

[Omnirizon]

i did my turn in, like, 30 minutes. I gotta get to work, but didn't want you guys waiting on me anymore. 30 min is the quickest I've done a turn this late in the game, but I don't *gulp* have any big battles _planned_; so I didn't need time to do a bunch of scripting. Pythium might be thinking otherwise for this turn however.

[DonCorazon]

This is quite an interesting game given its turn 59 and seems there are still a large number of superpowers.

I just looked up the the details on the globals, and its a bit frightening the gem income that is being produced these days. I expect some spectacular end game clashes are in store.

Speaking of epic battles, the Utgard-Mictlan showdown was pretty spectacular. Sifyka put together quite the demonic horde for master Ironhawk.
