Guys, we've been waiting since Feb. 17th.

Three guys had already taken a look at R'lyeh position. One think's it's too much to handle, the other two are having difficulty with the map. To quote the milder reaction: "It (AT map) gives me headaches to even look at it".

I truly was not aware that AT visuals can be so difficult to look at

Anyway, we've waited a lot and the R'lyeh position got 3 strikes in a row. As much as it pains me (as a player) to lose an ally and (as an admin) to turn a nation to AI I think we've no choice left. (Jutun/Pythium, consider it as a free global cast of "feeblemind enemy ruler" )

OK. Now I don't see much point in waiting any longer.
Shall I turn R'lyeh AI and get us back on track?

[Aethyr]

Bummer...the game's not set to host until Sunday, any harm in waiting just a couple more days before pulling the trigger?

[WraithLord]

Thanks Aethyr. The extra wait was worth it since a sub indeed was found.

And what a sub, - Dimaz himself has agreed to take over R'lyeh.

Welcome aboard Dimaz and thanks for stepping in.

[Dimaz]

Hello everyone.
I wanted to join this game from the beginning but my "game slots" were full at the time so I had to skip it. However now that the SoIF has ended I decided to give it a try. Never played UW nation before, but the position looks pretty solid so there is some place for learning mistakes. Anyway, I want to announce that all past Rlyeh diplo agreements are cancelled. I want to take back some UW provinces taken by Pythium during the stales (starting this turn) and then stay in my borders for several turns. After this cooldown period Rlyeh will most probably attack Ermor as he seems to be the biggest threat.

Thanks for stepping in, Dimaz!

[WraithLord]

The nation of Ermor hereby announces that it's gates are open to Caelumite refugees. Sadly, it wasn't within our power to stop the brutal slaughter inflicted upon them by the evil frost giants.
Their spilled blood shall be answered in kind.

[Executor]

Yes, it's sad when your thralls invasions go south and they're forced to beg their master for help.
I think it's time for you now Ermor, you should brace yourself for what's to come.

[Stagger Lee]

I have to go away next week, and am trying to arrange a temp sub. Please let me know if anybody knows someone who could do a couple of turns.

[Executor]

And the entire earth trembled!

Illwinter, than Burden of Time, than Armageddon...
Aren't you all anxious to know what's next?

Noble Pythium Lord,

As you know there is no formal agreement, but our offer of reasonable recompense was sincere and we hope you will consider it. The Bakemono rule by strenght, and we would loose repsect of the tribes if we allowed you to so blantly dispute our claim. The Oni do indeed have a sense of humor, but human mages (especially those who are much advanced in years ), rarely live long enough to hear the punch line.

Speaking of which...perhaps we should discuss this most troubling BoT, eh?

@ Jotun, oh, yes, we can hardly wait to see the rest of the world-wide destruction & slaughter you have in store. Rest assured that we are planning a suitable response. However we are much more interested in how others will view these actions, perhaps they will be motiviated to re-evaluate their threat assessment...or finally climb down off that fence they've been sitting on.
