Yeah, I believed it!
AND the fishing boat ramming, AND the election!
Heck we believe everything the US tell us! We're a neutral country,
but we have still had spy planes reporting russian army movements and
communications directly to the CIA, and we have nice long landing stripes
in northern Sweden for any B52's wishing to drop by, and we're cooperating
with NATO whenever we can. The CIA say of course they'll come help us when
war breaks out, but unfortunately they don't have much they could give us
in return in terms of intelligence, and we believe that too! Hurray for
Sweden! (Damn, I got a little political there for a while...)

The Danes on the other hand, are intelligent, beautiful, brew great
beer, and generally have more fun! Isn't that right Henning?

Look down south boys. We brew beer, have beaches, surf, sun and
SAND (he he he) and we're so far out of the way no-one notices us.
They do however build surveillance bases here, but at least they're
way out in the desert where theres nothing anyway.

greetings.

The email system at my work came back at 2am (what a
crappy job that must have been to stay up that late).

But all emails directed to my work (if you have used
it, you would know what it is) for the past 24 hours
didn't make it. Email me again is you sent me a
request for 10K, the agent that my curse squad should
target, and where my agents should do a 930.

thanks
din

p.s while all emails directed here should be OK, i'm
claiming any 'start pulling your weight, or the side
will attack you' emails might have been lost.

Specific plans ??? Can I use you as a reference when
my allies complain that I don't communicate well ?

I'm in two game (a 1650 and 2950 game), getting turn
reports for a third (the WC 1650 game where the free
are stomping on the ds), and waiting for a fourth to
start (a FA game). I'm only a neutral in one of those
games, so in the others I try not to let the other
side know that i'm playing. Thus I decline to give out
game numbers unless necessary.

If people sent me emails to my work address, then they
will know what games they are talking about.

I've NO IDEA who emailed me in the last 24 hours, and
I will never find out. I just felt that some people
might need to know that.

And I used that subject line to indicate that players
who don't want to read my letters, or who are only
looking for specific game messages, can bypass it.

But I'll take your email into consideration next time.

thanks
din

Just joking ...

Actually I wanted to know if the latest highlander
movie is any good. I think it sees the highlander from
the movies go against the highlander from the series.

Actually that only a joke as well. This really is a
middle earth question.

Anyone got any details on when neutrals declare/get
attacked in a normal 1650 game ?

I'm trying to say 'if the free/dark attack a neutral,
when would they do it ?'

While each game is different (talking to the two sides
should push back any attack compared to saying nothing
to them), I'll still like to look at the numbers (just
in case there is a pattern).

thanks
din

p.s Nothing personal oh free nations in G63, but I
think waiting for 10 turns (which seems to be the
standard) is too long (both to help out the free, and
to help out the DS).

My expiriences with Neutrals:

Rhudaur
He has to deceide early, because of his low funds.
In 6 of 7 games I played, he deceided till turn 5 and most of the times he became
DS. I also did it and became DS in Turn 4.
When he wits longer, he can�t become DS because there is not so much left of the
WK.

Dunlendings
In the games I played the Dunlendings deceided between turn 7 and 11 with a
little advantage for the free people.

Easterlings
In 5 of 7 games Easterlings became DS and bashed Rhun an Rhovanion shortly after
Long Rider and Blind Sorceror lost their Army�s. (ca. Turn 7 - 10).
One Easterling players gave both side tasks and wanted to go to the faster side.

Haradwaith:
Most Harad players do not want to deceide before Turn 10 when they have trained
their poor Characters and used the rich Land of Harandor for new camps.
I think most of the times Haradwaith goes for the weaker side, because he has the
influence to turn the game.

Corsairs:
Almost the same as the Haradwaith.
Played it once, and after putting down 25 New Camps I deceided on Turn 10 to
become FP, banishing Quite Avanger and Easterlings from Middleearth.

Sometimes Haradwaith and Corsairs dceide to change to the same side.

Thats it.....
