MP: ComfortZone - All MA Nations - Running

[DonCorazon]

The situation in our neighborhood is comedy. My neighbors include such heavyweights as Ashdod, Pangea and Pythium. Some capitals are almost right on top of each other and war has already begun while a swathe of indy provinces is just sitting there fallow. Not sure why we all seemed to head in the same directions or people go to war with anything they see. We'd ask He Who Cannot Be Named for wisdom but the divine leader is now sitting in our capital collecting pigeon droppings, after an unfortunate run-in with the lovely Wat. In other news, Arcos decided to get in the underwater province game starting another early game conflagration.

Shin predicts winner of this game will be the cat who sits in the corner while the dogs tear themselves apart.

That's why Ashod is preposing a solution to this mix up. Instead of a mix of nations, their be one chaotic empire that as soon as world domination is achieved, we turn on our previous allies in the most bloody and short end game imaginable .

Really though, this has to take the cake for bad starting positions.

[licker]

Abysia agrees that the starting positions were screwy.

As our pathetic income attests, we have not seen a province with more than 6k pop in our general area. Thus making our only choice to take one with 30k+...

Still the corner nations have a massive advantage on this map it would seem, we'll see if they translate it into anything or not.

the pink community of tien chi declares war, not really for land but just to see those hot sweaty warrior bodies, meow.

Rabble rabble rabble!

Who the hell thought Fallacy would be a good idea?!?

OK, so qio has officially taken over Caelum from Caec. Hosting will be postponed by 12hrs to give him a chance to get his feet underneath him; the new deadline is 21:50 GMT on Wednesday December 3rd.

Cheers,

No comment.

Nations of the world, rejoice!

Mismeasure, Prince of Strength, The Rock, Pantokrator II, of Man has awoken!

And to get things off on the right foot, He, as a demonstration of His infinite strength and unrivaled power, decided to rough-up a local feeble old witch for her magically powerful marble-rye bread. The exchange:


MISMEAURE: Gimme that rye!

CRONE: Stop it. Let go. Help! Someone, help!

Mismeasure wrests the rye from the old lady's grip.

MISEASURE: Shut up, you old bag!

Mismeasure races away down the street with the rye.

CRONE: (shouting after him) Thief! Stop him! Stop him, he's got my rye! CURSE!


That's right. In spite of paying for a Luck scale, my pretender awoke, and was immediately cursed by the stupid Vengeful Witch event.

I swear to Mismeasure, I've never had worse luck in a game...it was bad enough getting the the Brigands-Have-Taken-Up-Residence-in-a-Ruin event on f-ing turn 2, and getting my only useful Crone of Avalon diseased during this past Winter, but this Receiving-A-Cursed-Pretender business takes the cake.

[DonCorazon]

I am glad someone else sounds as miserable as me this game.

Imagine a neighbor who leaves 2 of the provinces adjacent to his capital unconquered while he beelines straight for you and petrifies your pretender, or another neighbor who sees an empty-Shin controlled ocean province (the kappa's were on shore leave) and thinks he can waltz in with a few mermen like nothing is going to happen.

What a debacle! PS starting wars with the first nation you see is not generally a good strategy for long-term success (unless you're Ashdod). I hope to prove that (shortly).

And Ashdod seems to be getting beaten down by TC already. Hard to say who is actually winning, they're both awfully small.....
