I can answer that; the Dark Servants are!
And guess what , we didn`t have to phone Harly to ask, nor did we have any unfortunate bed-wetting incidents pondering the arrival of our latest crucial turns!!
A brief summary;
At 3114; we caught the freeps best agents [again],stranded their 3 cursers [again] and piled on top. We destroyed the [latest] NG capital and killed 16 of them to 3 of ours…oh, and the SG capital falls this turn whilst he piddles about in corsairland with 200HI here and there, having lost 8 characters in one turn. nice…
Where are you now? Have you really resigned? You see none of us got a nation collapsed rumour…
How annoyed are you at the Northmen these days? He saved his capital and you`ve gone through 3 in 5 turns…
you finally manage to get your act together and halt my agents free for all killing spree, even taking out a couple of the Heroes of Sauron in the process and what happens the rest of my allies go notch up 16 kills between them.
Has it finally sunk it that you’re outmatched and can no longer win? We’re just too damn good!!!
It’s time for you guys to run up the little white flag and spare some of your poor little minions from an untimely end.

ps. just to let you know normal service will now resume this fortnight
Angulion leaned back in his seat (elfhide bound far more civilised in Mordor than the Mistys). All the main players representing the partners were assembled, Gulthuin “Enron”, Gedron “Worldcom” and so on.
It had been an excellent quarter double digit growth, low inflation, positive balance of payments, record number of slaves, market manipulation at its best!!
Best of all though record tax intake best month ever. He switched back in to the conversation Rozilan (he had to get this chick into bed!) was discussing a reverse takeover financed with a deep discounted junk bond issue (she did look sexy when she talked basis points definitely hot!).
What a tale of woe for the ill-fated freeps. Looks like a full retreat is on. Whilst they piddle around in harad with a few hundred troops the dark servants have been taking capitals and having their way with the best of their characters [such as they are];
The trap at 3114 worked. The third NG capital in five turns to fall–it was wiped out by the same LR cavalry that destroyed the dwarven city at 4013. Not bad–two cities in three turns! Meanwhile the freeps had piled in their remaining cursers and best agents to try and halt the relentless offensive against north gondor. Not a bad idea you might think?
At 3114;
JI-INDUR [a wittily named agent of an unknown nation, sinda? A80+???] was cursed three times.
HELKEMA [a sinda A80+] was cursed three times.
ARTAMIR [a silvan comm/agent]was assassinated.
DULISH [a dunadan commander and c/c] was assassinated.
DELLWYN [a NG emis]was assassinated.
Not pretty. Worse still, the Freep cursers have been stranded, without protection…
Elsewhere;
TRIXXIE [a NG agent] was assassinated at the WK capital 3822.
XAVIER [a Noldo comm]was assassinated in Harad.
GOREGRIM [a NG comm]was executed after a long incarceration.
GRUNT [a SG comm]was assassinated at minas arthor.
But it gets funnier; At Dol Amroth;
Three armies were eliminated;
BROGLOMIGHT [a SG comm] was cursed three times.
STILETO [a SG comm/agent] was cursed three times.
Are you counting that`s 12 curses in FP characters this turn…
GANUAL [a SG comm] was assassinated.
COLDMIST [a SG agent] was assassinated.
BORIMER [a SG comm] was assassinated.
BANDYHORN [a SG comm]was assassinated.
ZORBICOR [a SG comm/agent] was assassinated.
8 SG characters in one turn! and NG thought we were harassing him!!!
Still, it was not all bad news;
RHUKSKA [a CL agent] was captured in thievery.
LORGAN [a QA comm]was captured in combat at Minas Tirith.
HOLLER [a superior KE agent] was assassinated at 3114.
WRIGOL [a top CL agent]was cursed 3 times at 3114.
MR.BROWN [a WK agent]was killed in an assass attempt at 3822.
Still, not pretty is it?
Want to hear the bad news? It`s only gonna get worse for the freeps this turn at least one Freep capital will fall this turn…
Final Score for this turn;
Freeps–16 dead.
Darks–3 dead, 2 captured.
