MP: Great Forum, game running

[nrasch]

OK all, as discussed, next turn will be due on Jan 1st. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and Happy New Year.

Also, I will be checking this forum and my email if anyone needs anything.

Hello and happy new year,
It should be a good idea to dispel the Gift of Health and Maelstrom globals. We may all send something like 100 (or less for a very wounded nation) astral gems to anybody who can perform effectively (strong astral, penetration items, magic site) one dispel after the other. I can do it if needed.
Gift of Health is probably first in priority. I believe this is urgent.
In addition it would be very helpful to harass Machaka in the rear and kill population, attack rear provinces or use any well-intended spell to weaken the spiders economy (Please do not do it in the northern territory, that may interfere with mine).
I implore everybody to do whatever he can do to attack, hamper and weaken Machaka. If you do not want to, you can abandon right now, you have just lost.

@Num - I'll have to consider quitting the game if you continue playing on behalf of all armies. This is getting ridiculous. There's enough challenge fighting on four fronts.

[Num]

I am sorry, this is not intended to ruin your enjoyment.

But what am I supposed to do ? Wait to see everyone being destroyed one after the other ?
Where is the challenge ? You are crushing everything with ease. It is probably already too late for us.

And I have to repeat obvious things, the players are not the same as the beginning (and there is no way to discuss anywhere else). I cannot ask other player's help another way.

But you know that if there is no alliance (or not strong enough, or organized enough) against you, you have won.

@Bandar Log
You can take, cross and attack Eastern Landbridge (124), I do not need that province to go north (my troops are able to hide, cross the sea and teleport across).

@Bandar Log, Abysia, Jotunheim and Shinuyama
I can dispel efficiently Machakas globals, please send me astral gems you get available to do it, I cannot do so alone.

@ Admin - Is there a reason for the extension for host until Tuesday? It seems that Muse is the only one who hasn't sent his turn yet.

@ Everyone

I'm not going to attack you any more w/ Bandar. It is unfair in my opinion for the entire world to pick on you.

So, expect no more mind hunts and attacks from your eastern border.

Also, I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year's.

You shouldn't cheat.. somehow the forum will anyway hear what you have spoken . I'll post this one in the spirit of the first post and the game setting. Don't give up.. there's a lot to take behind you and you have strong astral.. something I or your competition cannot achieve easily.

Unfortunately as Bander's most likely target this will keep me from fighting the spider people with any vigor, I have to be on guard vs Bander. This likely hands Lihassaas the game

[Num]

That is right, this is giving victory to Lihaassa (who deserve it, no discussion about that). Diplomacy is just All.
Anyway, even if I have just lost, Machakan armies and monsters must come and destroy my nation. I shall defend myself proudly.

@R'lyeh, if you are still giving a look sometimes here
If you do not want to play, please give the hand to the AI...

[Ragnoff]

I am ending the NAP with Bander, pulling out of the attack on Machaka is tantamount to an act of war! When your messengers bring you your monthly reports in Early Winter (turn 66) expect to find reports of me holding your lands!!!

(Offensive orders can be given in turn 65, we read about them in turn 66, is this how you understand the NAP 5 to work or do I need to give offensive orders in turn 66?)

[Finalgenesis]

To R'yleh, we seek NAP 3/5 with you.
