Wow! You want to die so much that you are eager that the game has started???

By the way, I noticed in randomosity that you were unable to kill, per your very own words, the 'Spawn of the Panther'.

heh heh

Seriously, though, good luck and play hard, my friend. I would actually like to see the lawyers win this game.

Oh, come on Panther! Lawyers win pretty much anything else, why should they win this game as well?

Of course, our team wants to be on the good side of lawyers, how about a non-agression pact, esteemed defenders of law and justice? We could definitely use someone who can convince everyone else that we are peaceful researchers as opposed to landgrabbing powermongers...

"Dear Yvelina,

We have received your inquiry regarding the services we provide to all distinguished players, and thank you for the confidence you are expressing towards our Committee. One of our products would be remarkably well suited to your needs: it would consist of advising all the other players about the weakness of your nation, for few would dare question the word of an host.

For example, the following message could be sent late in the game: 'Arcoscephale is a most friendly realm, dedicated solely to the pursuit of knowledge. Old hegemonic pretensions have been discarded with the coming of a new age, and the only lands in their possession are sites of great archeological interest. Their army is a mere militia, and their best mage is barely able to light up a fire on a sunny day. All in all, a most pleasant realm to live in, so long as you are not interest in reckless expansionism, and willing to give a helping hand to repel those invaders: chances are, you will be the best fighter protecting the city.' (First published in the Hitchhiker's Guide.)

Of course, there is the small matter of fees and similar petty squabbling, but we are confident you will find our service to be admirable. You should also expect us not to abuse our position of de facto monopoly; fairness is, after all, a hallmark of us.

Yours sincerly,
The Committee of Opportunist Hosts."

Silliness aside, everything seems to be working fine. Good luck to all the teams!

Bah!! The PantherSpawn failed to understand that if he killed me that I would only become more powerful than he could possibly imagine...

I would be happy to draft the necessary documents for your signature.

I've been a little late in reading these posts. Uber bless? Folks, how ever did ya'll learn so much about this game. Aside from Panther that is, those engineers once they build in the bugs in a system it's a good decade of leisure time to "trouble shoot" (i.e. drink beer and play games). I don't even have a clue what normal bless does -- I simply order my priests to do it b/c they have nothing better to do. Anyway, I suppose this is the normal time to trash talk and all, but I really need a victory under my belt before talking smack. Ah what the hell, we�re going to kick your collective butts!!! (Maybe. Possibly.)

The Panther · #**137** February 8th, 2005, 03:47 PM

I needed a laugh this morning, and this thread certainly provided it for me!

Keep up the commentary when you all can.

Oh yeah, us engineers know how to design bugs into things. We refer to it as 'job security'.

I'm impressed Alenyan.
Five turn of 12 players and no stales. Your doing a great job with running this game!
-Cheers, yc

Yup! Cheers to Alenyan!! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Martini.gif[/img]

Alenyan did an awesome job picking players, and making sure the game did not start until everyone knew what she was getting into. We will not have stales, I think, until teams start getting crushed, and even then, with a map this small, once one is broken, it will be a short road to demise.

But... there is a itty bitty problem. The two of us will go to Vegas to see the Queen show, and it is not clear whether we will be disciplined enough to take our turns. We will try to make it, but...
