Juffos hasn't been on IRC as much as usual lately. this is frustrating. COME BACK! lol.

and stop turtling. beware of Juffos everyone. he's a known turtler

[Executor]

Oh noe! AN down...

I wonder who are the geniuses that are actually *helping* TC..?
Was it 4 nations TC?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you folks are bloody idiots...

[Executor]

Well, that's about it for old Ermor. It seems my AN got dispeled again after I alchemized everything to cast it the second time.

I sincerely hope nobody was dumb enough to give TC pearls this time around...

[NooBliss]

Wow that's a... surprising turn of events. Chinese people are resourceful indeed. We'll make a really big funeral for them.
Or not, seeing how fast did Ermor go down. Good thing we don't need a funeral ourselves.

[Corinthian]

Welp, thats how it is when you cast Arcane Nexus. Either it gets dispelled directly and you loose or people fail to dispel it in time and the next cast is unbeatable and it is chayot apocalypse for everyone. I was working from the assumption that you got pearls from Pan, Oceania and Caelum and that you made somewhere between 80-200 pearls from the nexus every turn. As such I could not afford to not dispel it on turn one and neither could anyone else.

And as for four people... Well, four people offered sympathetic words. Three of them also promised pearls and two people delivered on those promises. (Abyssia!!!) But the great majority (80%) of the pearls were mine. And I had to alchemize quite a bit myself and had to overcast the dispels to guarantee success. Not cheap!

Also, your alliance is not half as doomed as you make it up to be. I would never consider a nation with a wisher and the village of strange men to be harmless. And both Oceania and Caelum have individually more thugs than I do. Both combined have three times the number of thugs that I do and thats considering I cant see parts of Oceania. Oceania got all the water queens, a Cyclops and at least 3 commander tarts that I can see. Not counting the one I killed. Oceania alone would be pretty scary if he was not frozen down under. It fit the name of his pretender though.

As a final note. Executor. Did you really intend for that big scary communion to cast returning? Were did they return to? Wasn't that their home castle?

[Executor]

Nope, I cast the AN alone, tho that's not a bad idea, I'll have to run it by Caelum and Ocean.
As for those sympathetic people, consider yourselves in war with Ermor. If I manage to get the AN up again by some chance I'm gonna armageddon and BoT your arses for allying with TC.

Well, given the fact that you have more gems that the 3 of us combined I wouldn't say we have much of a chance against you. The part where some of the nations are helping you isn't accommodating either.
* A logical move would have been to leave my AN until I managed to do some damage to TC and perhaps even push him back, leave the two of us to waste resources against one another, and than either dispel it or gank me, but flat out helping a nation that is 3 times stronger than everyone and on a fast lane to a win is kinda silly to me. *

Oh, btw TC has a bigger gem income than I do even with the AN, soooo???

Those nations must be very gullible if all it takes is for you to say that I have the alt site for them to donate gems.
Quick everyone, TC has the ultimate gateway and the summoning circle!

And as for that final note, Ermorian theurgs are laughably pathetic and a dozen of them are neither big or scary, and can hardly form a useful communion. And besides, you took out larger communions with just one rain of stones, and I can't even protect them effectively, so given the fact I had no idea with what you were storming since you changes troops two times I decided to save them mages. And no that was not my captial obviously.

By the way, did you by any chance cast raven feast on my capital after that ritual?
The carrion reanimation spell didn't work properly, there were about 600 corpses in my cap so I cast 5 carrion reanimations, but I only got 100 soulless, and strangely enough there are still some corpses in my cap.
But than again either all my rituals or the raven feast would go first due to casting order and monster ID right? So what went wrong?
I know the corpses should stay for the spells since I used to cast tidal waves, or black death with a remote attack on capitals and than cast carrion reanimation on them to breach castle walls in one turn.

Are you sure you did not get pearls from frozen? Then were did he get all those artifacts? His SC are littered with them and he himself claims that he has not researched const 8 yet. Don't tell me you gave them to him without getting anything in return!?! In retrospect, I might have horribly overcast those dispels.

Also, I thought returning mages would go to the castle you built them in? There is a home province tag after all. Oh well. You learn something new every day.

And I did cast raven feast on your capitol. I thought it was underwhelming that I only got 7 death gems out of it though.

I gave Frozen the aegis only, I think, asked for nothing in return. I have nobody to put it on so better to give him the aegis, it's still your troops getting killed right?

Hmm, that's rather strange, why did I get the soulless than if you cast raven fest after all? It should have used up all the corpses in the province.

[Corinthian]

Rituals are cast in turn order depending on unit number. I think. If you only got 100 soulless then you got one guy with lower unit nr than my caster. And the rest had higher nr. Its to bad it is not possible to check your units numbers yourself that I know of.

I always though that monster ID was used for that (shift+i on a monster name), and the monster get IDs randomly chosen from front or back every turn.
