mid_Unlucky game on Gandalfs server (started)

[CyborgMoses]

I am really sorry for the delays of the last few days; my internet service, which is sketchy at best, completely cut out for a full three days. It just started working enough for me to post about how much Comcast sucks and run a set of turns, but I would suggest finding a substitute to take over my position, as I don't know how long this respite will last. Again, my sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

PS: plz 2 be laughing @ me now, I sur am

Back from traveling... wasn't able to install on my work laptop, but could remote desktop to my home PC. Unfortunately my laptop has a hamster wheel in regards to video power so it was like playing in molasses. Click...wait for it to redraw, click...wait for it to redraw, etc.

What is the address for the public scores for this game? a la "in-game graphs are on.
And the games scores will be public, kindof like this..

What's up with Ermor? Seems like he has rapidly gained major momentum.. anyone else worried by this?

Also, Gandalf - any chance of editing the first post to include a list of players and their nations?

And Yes, Ermor is starting to look like a nasty beast - expanding rapidly with an active pretender. Ermor now has a big income, a big army, and is on cruise control.

Nation of Mictlan admits it is a Techmologically Deficient nation. We are insanely jealous of our Lanka brethren, who seem much smarter then us, and have done Dangerous Levels of research. Whereas Mictlan still has not figured out what is 99999999999999 times 99999999998999.99999tententenhundredhundredhundred . We must be the true masters of blood!

We hereby declare war on the Lanka nation, who is now at our border. We will immediately begin commencing defensive manoeuvers in Lanka territory to disrupt any further Lanka scholarly visits to libraries, museums, colleges, or universities.

Whereas: Remembering the wars of our Fathers, when the unholy Primate Beasts ridden with fleas took our northwestern lands.

Whereas: The Primate beasts have been given unnatural intellect by an unknown power from the pit of darkness.

Whereas: Lucifer's Apes are a plague upon the earth and need to be exterminated as one would exterminate cockroaches in one's cupboard.

Abysia hereby declares war on the scourge known as Lanka.

(damn....I hope this works....)

The fair people of Lanka have shown no hostility toward their border brothers and sisters, and wish no harm to them over the next year. We have been attacked when these nations could have expanded in unclaimed lands as we have in order to avoid provoking those of the lands around us.

What has been said is the fair plea.

Also, let it be known that the people of Lanka have many, many alliances with those that do not share our borders but do share borders with those around us. These that we have alliances with are in no threat of colliding with our forces for many years when the pack has been thinned.

So, you have a choice. To leave us alone and join with the strong and many, or.....

The Nation of Mictlan admits to feeling guilty about attacking Lanka unprovoked. But while Lanka was busy concentrating on improving their research, our nation has been pursuing more martial avenues of development. It is not the fault of Mictlan that Lanka's army is weak.

The Prophet of Mictlan has consulted our God. He responded this way:

"Is it good blood sport when Centeotl brings Metzlti to fight together against Nanauatzin in the arena? When 100 fight against 50, then the blood of 50 will be spilt. But when 50 men of Centeotl fight 50 men of Nanauatzin, the blood of 100 may be spilt in a glorious and fair battle."

We are chastened by this parable. And we also look to the justice shown earlier to Mictlan, by the honorable nation of Helheim.

Mictlan will keep the single province of the Were Wood as a lesson to Lanka to keep its army as well maintained as its schools. Other than that Mictlan will commit no further aggressive acts against Lanka without just cause.

If Lanka disputes the strength of our armies, then we urge them to come meet us in Were Wood this month on the glorious field of battle. We are positive Lanka will be completely destroyed. As we write, both army groups of Mictlan converge on Were Wood.

Mictlan has no control over the actions of the nation of Abysia. But if Lanka chooses to fight Mictlan in Were Wood, and Abysia takes unbloodsportsmanlike advantage of the destruction of Lanka's army, then Mictlan will march North on Abysia in pursuit of greater blood sport!

If Abysia wishes to continue its war on Lanka on even terms, that is not our concern. And if Lanka makes peace with Abysia, and sends their army to die in our fields, we will build a great temple in honor of the courage of their dead warriors.

Signed in Blood,

Zotz, Prophet of Mictlan

(ooc Edit: Added the bit about no further unprovoked attacks on Lanka, since Zotz was kind of silly not to be clearer about that.)

[jimkehn]

The common ancestry that binds the hearts of Mictlan and Abysia, along with a common faith that dates back millenia has stricken the hearts of Abysians as well. Through messengers of lands with evil intent, Abysia was deceived into thinking Lanka had ill will at heart. Now it grieves the souls of the Lords of Abysia, that we raised hand against the peace loving neighbor that is Lanka. Abysia admits that it moved with far too much haste against his friend, and repents of this deed. Abysia offers its hand in peace, and as a token of good faith hath sent a gift of no small measure to the Lords of Lanka. In addition, Abysia concedes the northern passage provinces of Bergamum (196) and Pivotal (192) to allow Lanka's needed expansion east. Abysia further declares she will vacate the Great Plains without plunder, without pillage and without demanding tribute, having raised no militia. In addition, Abysia declares, if Lanka accepts, a pact of mutual defense. Whosoever attacks Lanka has attacked Abysia.

Let the world witness this day the ammends Abysia makes to Lanka. Let the world witness this day the contrite spirit and penitence of a nation who wrongfully believed the lies of others that hurt the innocent. Let the world judge who's heart is true. Abysia will not war with Lanka in future days, save Lanka be the first to attack. Let the world judge who shall be upright.


So say we all.
