I just wanted to apoligize to whoever the neutral was that posted on game 118 so long ago and never recieved a reply from me…for some reason <perhaps due to my computer ignorance> I was unable to post a reply…but…goood news…now I can 
the blind one looked for a pencil…where could I have dropped that he wondered…it certainly wouldn’t look good for an all powerful mage to call for help for such a reason…awww…there it is…time to compose my letter…dear neutral freep that responded to my last posting, as I’m sure you are aware I wasn’t threatening neutrals either before or after they declared…I think all the tough talkers on our side quit lol…but since you wanted to brag on the number of major towns you have…could you be so kind as to tell me who you are <unless of course you have reasons not too bawwk bawwk> because I could use a few and it sounds like you have more then you need…also could you send directions…in braille preferably…thank you, the blind one akhorahil…now…time for shot of rum and a little disease spreading…who’s gonna be feeling a little under the weather this turn…decisions decisions…
due to my continuing and rather frustrating computer ignorance I will be posting under this name from this point foward…too much rum in real life perhaps …high plains drifter
Akhorahil sniffed the air <yes he does rarely rely on primitive means of locating people…especially when freeps are involved>, no elves to kill…one can always smell them…guess I’ll have to settle for humans…hardly worth the trouble of casting a spell…btw freeps…with us outnumbered two to one for at least ten turns now…why does it feel like your side is starting to lose? am I really drinking too much rum?
Akhorahil walked into the tiny pub in the back water camp located deep in morder…he’d been casting spells that morning and his throat was parched…imagine his suprise when there…sitting at a table in the corner…were trouble and dervorin…both freep agents that had killed minions of mordor in times past…well one might think that the meeting of these three would immediately cause a fight but as everyone thouroughly versed in middle earth lore is aware pubs are sacrade ground and one must wait until leaving the premises before killing his enemy so instead of fighting they had a drink…akhorahil bought the first round…three straight bourbons he told the bartender…shortly thereafter the three glasses were placed before them and with a clink of the rims they gulped down their drinks…well akhorahil did anyway…trouble and dervorin spit theirs back out and hollered at the bartender that they wanted water…“water?” asked akhorahil “are you sure you want to drink the water down here…you really aren’t used to it…it could make you sick you know.” “don’t worry about us” replied trouble “we’re tough and free and killers and we aren’t afraid of a little water” Trouble and Dervorin were laid to rest at 10 am yesterday morning…a half drunken glass of bourbon and water at their sides
dear sinda…thank you so much for sending your agents to my capital so that I might kill some elves but as I’m sure you are completely aware my characters are all at your capital…could you please send them home now so that I might kill them there? thank you in advance for your cooperation :)…akhorahil
Akhorahil had never been so mad before…it wasn’t the money that upset him…it was the fact that the sinda agent had pushed his mother down while grabbing her purse…see what happens when you let free people into your city…law and order breaks down and crime becomes rampant…time to free the poor sinda citizens of this intolerable form of government they suffer under…have no fear citizens of the lands of sinda…we are about to free you of your your burdons…no more will you be required to think or choose for all thinking and choices will be done for you…your life will be simple under the new system about to be put into place…peace and harmony will be yours <it’s amazing how easily people can be influenced>…akhorahil <scribed by steven caskey as required by the editor of the middle earth not so free press>…btw…I know the freeps read this thread even if they choose to ignore it lol
the trouble with being blind is sometimes you’re talking and nobody else is in the room lol…ok freeps…here’s the deal…I’m going to wipe sinda out or at least out of mirkwood <yes it is mirkwood not greenyuckwood>…are you going to stop me or are you going to watch as one nation after another on your side gets decimated?
I just realized I critisized green on st patricks day…my apologies lol
Hmm – tough choice – sit and watch or help Sinda out – Think i want to sit and watch as i don’t think you can do it !!
Mikefinally…I was getting tired of taunting myself on here…ok…sit back and watch…I’ll even make popcorn…which nation are you?
wait…does self taunting cause blindness? <my father warned me about this>
akhorahil looked around <ok ok…he had his apprentice look around for him>…so much green…these elves had ruined a perfectly good city filling it with…of all things…shrubbery…yes green nasty shrubbery…it’s true I tell you…thank badness he brought some help with him…we’ll make this place dark and dreary in no time…maybe a name change would be good too…from cerin amroth to blind sorcerer city…nawww…too egotistical and besides…it could piss sauron off…probably best to leave the name the same and just make the place a little more…unlivable? being a nazgul sure makes wording complicated…now what to do with those nasty little elvies running around crying for mercy…
Greeting Blind One ,
I am playing the S gondor in this game -- sorry i don't write more often but only get around to checking the boards here every now and then !! We knew you where going to emissary away the Sinda capital but now lets see how long you hold it !! Oh and please ask the Cloud lord where he wants the body of Araudagul sent to this coming turn !! Tell him to please feel free to challenge as my whole company there will be refusing and moving out -- so if he wants to send his agents here he will save me the problem of shipping his body back to his capital !!
Mikewell it is regretable about araudagul for sure…we shall mourn his death…but a commander…even a great one like araudagul is no comparison to losing a curse mage <poor meriot>…how many cursers are left on your side now? lol…as far as holding the city…maybe I won’t…but that was only the beginning of what shall be a disaster for the sinda…and the woodsman may want to take notice of what happens because he’ll probably be next…you have no idea of the power of the dark side mike <in best darth vader voice>…take care…oh…and it was nice of you to give jim that MT but I think I’ll assume control of the local government…those horse people just don’t patch the streets properly…steve
Greeting Steve ,
Killing Meriot was a blow to us -- but this is what happens when you have a player that hasn't been talking in about the last 4 turns and then drops and we only got to take over his turns the turn you just happen to kill meriot !! We actually expected it -- so it was no surprise to us !!
James will get another MT from one of us -- and i will gladly knock down your loyalties by taking back the MT i gave him !! Think you will find the players we have left or have replace on our side willing to stick it out now !! As the ones on your side are willing to do -- so i have a feeling we are in for a long game -- longest game i been in has been about 94 turns and was with James -- wonder if we will break that !!
By the way -- James says Hello and speaks very highly of you -- something about you being the glue holding the evils together :) !! Have to see if i can get him to find his way here as he finally got a computer to post for himself -- he will probably use his handle -- Gator !!
Mikewell I have a high impression of jim too but I’m afraid I can’t take much credit this game…I started out slow and feel like I’ve played my poorest game ever…but I’ll be trying to make up for it as best I can …and my loytalties…feel free to take them down as low as you can…my people are extremely loyal or I kill them <it’s a loyalty advantage us evil people enjoy> and I actually kind of like that idea…I take your pop centers and you knock them down a level taking them back…as far as a long game goes…give up now you have no chance <sorry but the propoganda minister insisted I put that in there lol> and tell jim hi for me if he doesn’t make his way on here…steve
Hello Steve,
Believe James might have made it on now -- will have to e-mail him and find out as it says when i signed on Welcome to our newest member -- Gator -- know that is what he calls himself !! The freep people of S gondor also enjoy high loyalties on his pops -- not cause we kill our subjects -- it might have something to do with the free Ale and Women places we have set up all over the lands !! Actually was kind of glad that Araudagul threathened instead of attacking -- please tell him thanks for me !! Will have to make it back to that town eventually and put them straight -- turning to your side on a mear threat with what i provide them and loyalty was in the mid 70's !! Might have to just kill them all as there might be something wrong with them if they don't like all the free ale and woman they can have -- am a little worried about that town -- might like your troll woman or something worse -- kinda gives me the shivers :)!!
MikeI could be mistaken but I do believe the cloud lord did mention he was taking a troop of scantily clad troll strippers into that town lol <of course if everyone hadn’t been so drunk on the free ale that probably wouldn’t have worked>
I have not posted in a bit over a year because I realized how poorly I play and did not want to be noticed…then crushed. This has not been my worst game, just my worst where I still lived. For a long time I was amazed at how you DS could continually defeat us with half of our strength in nations. You did a fine job. It was rather depressing. We are very organized now and you are on your way out.
