Now seriously… Perhaps I should accept the SK, Rake, and DR resignations. Seems the three of them can’t get much going against Haruspitic harbringers. Rollin…Haruspicy
I really would suggest that you take another look at your map. Sure, your nation is doing well, but what about your allies? The DR have made no offensives away from their starting popcentres, the SK’s agents are more accomplished than their numerous armies and divided, the Balchoth is at the point of extinction, the Rakks are at the point of extinction, the Sharp Claws are at the point of extinction, and Mordor is in serious danger.
The Silent One’s have been waging a one-person war against three opponents. I will grant you, they are not winning, but they are not losing either. And now help is coming their way.
As your allies fall away, so to will your successes. Enjoy them. They will be shortlived.
Oh, btw…
It stands to reason that we cannot hear the train for one very good reason…
It is going the other way! :eek:
Enjoy! I know I am!
The Eldar
WOW. Talk about complete denial…
A Dark Raiders army took out Eldar Elves’ pitiful excuse for an army before they were able to do anything at all against Balchoth, and I’m now poised to obliterate an NK town up north. And that’s just the first wave.
Balchoth, Rakkasans, and Sharp Claws are all doing quite well. As for Mordor being in “serious danger”?.. I suppose that is true… from the FP perspective. Things in Mordor are looking up from our point of view.
In fact Silent Ones IS losing in Mordor, and won’t exist much longer. At least not in Mordor.
Its funny how some people can ignore reality and substitute their own version.

Mike, Mike, Mike…
You may be an excel genius (of which I am most willing to attest).
Unfortunately, the only thing your map must be doing for you is lying.
Just so you know…
If you are the DR…
I am coming…

Oh, and, if your ally insists on using a U.S. Army Infantry Regiment as their heroes and “Call-sign”, I would, not so humbly, request that they do a better job of representing themselves…
Wade Buhr
1/41st Infantry Regiment “Dragoons!”
1/9th Infantry Regiment “Manchu!”
2/9th Infantry Regiment “Manchu!”
3 BCT, 3rd INF Division “Iron Fist/Rock of the Marne!”
What?? Oh yes. This must be another observation from your own special version of reality.
Rakkasans did quite well beating up on Haruspicy all by himself. It was only when he was attacked by two other nations that he had to pull back from pummelling Haruspicy.
I have no idea why Rakkasans picked the name they did, though it seems like a decent fantasy nation name to me. Now, if we’re going to start pointing out irregularities in the use of nation names, perhaps you should talk to your own “Comic Avengers”, whose characters have names like “The Tick”, “Sewer Urchin”, “Human Bullet”, “American Maid”, and other such non-Tolkienesque names. What the heck is that all about?

First, I seem to be representing myself just fine, I’m still alive and kicking, aren’t I?
Second, a name is a name, it represents nothing more than the whim of the person using it. Although I’m glad someone recognizes it.
And as for the “not so humbly” part, It looks like I was in the 101st a lot longer than you were, so I think I can use whatever name from them I please (meaning, they are not my “heroes”, they are the people I worked with and supported for four years). So get off of your high horse. If you want to talk smack about my gameplay, that’s fine, but you need to keep it related to the game.
True dat…True dat!
And besides…if anyone is going to write offensive posts it will be Socrates!!!
Now git yer hands out me pocketssss.
What does it hav in it’s nasty pocketsss anyway?
Uhm…2 things.
First, I was making absolutely no reference to Darrell irl. I’ve little doubt that he was a better soldier than I was. (Okay, so that might be a stretch, but I’m sure that he was a good soldier none the less.) All that I was suggesting is that with the proud history of that fighting unit, my thinking suggests that it should somehow be reflected in the actions of the nation. Therefore, it was a comment about gameplay.
Second I would like to address Socrates. Sir, I have no doubt as to your skill and/or smak talking ability. But I would suspect that you don’t hold the only licence to it. My hands venture into only two peoples pockets: Mine and my girlfriend’s. Since you aren’t my girlfriend, then I would venture to say that those aren’t my hands that you are feeling.
Got any admirers that you didn’t know about???
(p.s. This really is all in fun. If offense it taken, then understand that it was not my intent. I fully realize the faux pas {sp?} of pissing off the site administrator…
)
Mike,
I’m with you on my ally’s naming conventions. Definately outside of Tolkien’s world of creation. Personally, I think they are a rather clever play on words, though. I honestly will not be surprised to see such names as “Arrow Catcher” and “Bullet Sponge” emerge from his mind.
Truth be told, though, they are humorous, if nothing else.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Wade
Don’t worry, I gave up trying to be a forum policeman long ago. If making me mad on the forum was a bad thing, there is already a list of people who would be long gone.
But to be honest, I didn’t put a lot of thought into my nation name. I was the last person to join the game, and this is also my first 4th age game, so I felt a bit of pressure to get my set-up turned in (and then do it over again because Clint said I forgot something). “Rakkasans” seemed like a name that most people would just see as a random name, while it actually had some meaning to me. As far as taking a beating, yeah, I’m good at that, I tend to do that in a lof of my games. But I still maintain that my gameplay is not poor. Besides, Just wait till I end up on your team in game 32! Ha!
Clan Uruk Hai would like to send a message to Valinor and your little dogs too.
Here we come…here we come…here we come
Choo! Choo!
When theres a whip, theres a way!
Let’s see,After all the dwarven soldiers who have died defending Elvish lands, you mean to tell me all I had to do was throw water on the wicked Uruk Hai and they would dissolve away??? :mad: To think that throwing out the Uruks with the bathwater was a sound strategy.
At any rate, When there’s a whip, there’s a way is all too true. Look at the way the Uruks whip their allies into submission; succumbing their collective wills under his diry thumb. All those barked orders really must work, after all every woman in MiddleEarth uses them daily.
We the Valinor are not intimidated by the Clan’s war machine. Let us begin this conflict again. Perhaps if we evened the playing field, a true champion would emerge. Send the emissaries of the Sharp Claws away from our lands. Send the Shadow Riders back into southern Mordor. Let the uruk hai and the Valinor engage in glorious single combat to decide the fate of Rhun! A gauntlet is thrown in thy face, Von Vile:eek:
Two Rune awaits thy reply…though we know the answer. The Servants of Darkness have no honor. They would never agree to such terms. This we know, and we prepare for the coming storm with all our resources. Let us begin the final conflict for Rhun!
Come Dwarven Heroes! To war and Victory!!
Two Rune Loremaster of Valinor and
Warlord Brute’s Slayer
Why would the pack stop when they smell the dying blood of their prey?
Fact is we are still celebrating the success of our collective efforts.
I just took a moment from our revelry to remind you, you are doomed.
DOOMED I tell ya! :mad:
Fear not brave dwarves. We WILL ensure that your race is not completely exterminated after our ultimate victory.
You suck as pleasure slaves, but your work in our mines and labor camps are excellent.
So your strong backs and work skills will guarantee your species survives in captivity.
