Greetings to the "Free" in G34 (don't get me started on arguing the defination of
"free", :)),
Seems like the Free have been given a 2nd breath by the GM's. I don't see why if all
12 DS managed to get the turn orders BEFORE the 10th some Free can't manage, but
that's not the question.
I dunno, but would it be unreasonable to claim bias when the GM's drops us scattered
messages separate time and dates and individually of map changes or game changes
from separate GM's at that ?
Yesterday it was Clint telling our nation X one thing, then today it was Rob telling
our nation Y something else, it's total chaos. Worse of all the affected player
wasn't even directly informed.
And as much as we are aware of, Clint told us the changes are merely "cosmetic
changes" and GSI/now Deft never makes changes that affects another nation's map, we
can accept it as long as we know that it will be the precedent applicable for us and
all of our future games as well. We do like to be better informed with all 12 of us
uniformly being informed of ALL of the changes however.
Not that I'm accusing, I just hope that the orders used by the GM's for this changes
did came b4 the 10th and not after the turn reports were sent out.
But if some Free are trying to make just of such a lame excuse as this to claim a
restart when the GM's are trying so hard to rectify things, I say, "Shame on you",
:).
Dear Thomas.
I'm more concerned with what happened to your fleet at 2629. Seems one of
my
allies is claiming that it is no longer there, but I have yet to be
informed by Clint/Rob.It was just a mirage. It was not there. Don't worry about it. It will be
back soon enough.And my dead commanders were RCed by SG commanders who had an advantage of
30+ points. They didn't die as crappy 20/30 pointers, but commanders that
bring fear into the enemy lords and regents.They were too busy drinking too come out and fight. Although apparently
the deputy officers never actually asked them. If they had I am sure they
would have enjoyed the little exercise.
Hmm, "whites" (no offense meant) always claimed that the skin colour of my race is
"Yellow" but I say the SG Comms were just Yellow and cowardly, :).
p.s I've seen off the entire SG fleet, the entire corsair fleet, and now a
huge sindar fleet has come to visit. Is there anyone else I need to see offWhen exactly did you see off the entire SG fleet ? Perhaps we might give
you a chance to see off our fleet. Then again we wouldn't want your little
article in News from Bree to come true now would we ? (Eliminated by turn
10)
Hmm, guess maybe it just slipped your mind that SG lost 29 to 36 warships at least,
:). I say definately worth it, that's 29K to 36K gold worth compared to 10K worth of
chars.
Anyway, we are seeing SG, Cors, Sinda and even a failed NG attempt on Harad.
Did I mentioned we once did Harad in by T9 with only my Cors and a SG who was also
participated up north in the destruction of the IK simulataneously ? T10 ???, and in
mho the opposition in that game, mostly Americans, were better.
Tell you what, I give another 10 turns and see if you can do it. It could be done,
I don't deny that, I'm not that arrogant as to think it's unachievable but I'm
seriously doubting you can do it by T10 and would go as far as to challenge you to
try. As for the News from Bree, maybe you have the opportunity and firsthand
experience to write the the article "How we Killed Harad in 30 Turns" or should it
be "How We Failed to Kill Harad", :).
b.e.
p.s.
Hope my english is readable, in Oz, I write what I hoped 2b be satisfactory english
and my aussie opponents they can't understand my english until I started with the
insults. English isn't my mother tongue and ain't the official language of the
country I'm from, either. I'm from the country that owns Lotus, a miserable third
worlder as it is that's flooding UK with cheap Mitsubishi clones tagged "Proton?".
p.p.s.
Kevin/bobbins, I repeat, you aren't just playing against some Aussies, continue
addressing us DS as Aussies and the non-aussies in the DS (25% of us) aren't really
gonna be polite or "politically correct" anymore, 
as if I'm ever so in the 1st
place. Blame the Aussies, they don't understand any other english other than
insults, actually to be fair, some oddballs among them, that is, my teammates aren't
included.
p.p.p.s.
Sorry dear GM's, it's just me, I think I've some oddball personality, I think I was
nominated "most oddball" char in class. Sincerely I think Harlequin's GM's are the
best of any pbm company I played so far, I didn't wish to bring this up publicly but
that's me, I didn't want the Free to have wrong assumptions, and noone sanely
answers my direct e-mails, :). Apologies if any offense caused.
