PM FK
P.S Jeremy you can send gold anytime i dont mind and hope to become as well regarded as you are one day.
Greetings to the strong FreePeople and to the malicous DarkServants,
Enion for the Duns is speaking. It is a pleasure as a neutral to see both sides ready for war. The battle will soon shackle all landsides.
My folk will do whatever I decide. I am still wondering wich side I better offer my service: to the Free People Council or to Sauron.
It is true, that the FPs´armies have a strong reputation based on the ancient elves, the fiercy dwaves and the well trained men of Gondor.
It is also true, that Sauron has called to arms his most powerful weapon, his Nazghuls and his direct speaker Urzahil.
Time will prove who will take more advantage. As the leader for the Duns I declare the following:
My people will join that alliance, which demonstrate better its aptitude to outplay the foe´s advantage.
We become Dark if Sauron´s servants conquer or destroy a certain FPs´ capital before the FP succeed in their mission.
We become Free if the FP kill a certain Nazghul or Sauron´s Mouth before the DS complete their task.
Just in case that both succeed in the same week, than the side wins, which proves it quicker and beyond doubt.
The Duns hope, that both sides compete in this race. I send the name of the targeted capital to the QA
and the selected victim to SG.
I treat it confidentally and I hope you do it the same way meaning to handle doubts and proofs by mails (mhops@web.de)
As being a man of honor, there will be NO more conditions connected to transfers of artefacts or pops. We don´t ask for nothing that our allies do not want to share with us for free.
In the meanwhile, the Duns stay neutral. We watch our borders to all three neigbours. Further we recomend to discuss all themes which can be seen as a act of war before they are reality. One thing is whom we will join freely, another the declaration of war to a concrete nation. That is not a threat, but more an offer to interchange information before someone is acting aggressivly.
We are looking forward to hearing from you,
Enion for the Duns
Long Rider checking, Neutrals (and Freeps - I just may not be as polite unless you want to discuss surrender) can make contact at mikehornung -at- hotmail.com
No man is Neutral. All seek conquest and glory for the betterment of themselves and their House.
I speak for Akhorahil the Sorceror. I have powerful friends. We can elevate Free Men to their rightful places of Rule over the lands. Elves and Dwarfs. Puh-leeze, whistle while you work and sing with the pretty birdies…? I think not.
Hey WK how timied you think the free people are in NW now?..enjoy the smoking heap of a capital not to bad for T4. To bad RH followed you into ruin in the West, you both will soon be passing the homless hat to Mordor lets hope they got the MT’s to hand you when the day comes. CL ant going to save you boys.
RH bring it on to Fornost big dog, I’m waiting for you and think your to much of a coward to bring it. Lets see what you orc loving men are made of.
Dont you want to play the game, not just sit around for three months waiting for it to start again!!!
A 25 turn game was considered short at one time. Now 12 turns is a long one in one week.
The way the corairs, eaterlings, rhu, and Duns acted all game in tells me they decided on turn one.

Go put on a robe and buy some cheap scepter made of plastic, then strut to your full size mirror. Center yourself, puff out your peacock chest, then call back and have your gimp turn on the theme song to The Lord of the rings. Now close your eyes, start to sway, begin that inner dialog of madness, and address the people of Dunland…you are KING and Lord of the LAND!
I don’t really know to be honest. We didn’t really do much. We have 2 neutral balls in the air and don’t know if we’ll get them both, just one, which one, or neither…and then POOF ~ they both join us at the same time. What are we supposed to do, ignore 2 of the 5? What if 2 of the 3 we pay attention to have good Friends on the FP side?? Then YOU get 4 or 5 and we get to bitch and whine and moan and complain.
Maybe the best solution is NO diplomacy~! Then 1 side can’t “do it” better than the other~!!! Just hit me now, wonder how we can manage that? Alas, internet, email, phone numbers…I don’t think that’ll work either…sigh…
No Whit, that’s one of the problems. This is not true. It doesn’t “tell you” anything, talk to them - they’re just people like you who ended up being a neutral this game. Next game you can be a neutral and
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR SAY
the other team is going to bitch and whine and complain and accuse you of BS just like you are accusing them. Try it, you’ll see…
You realize, you can always shoot them a mail and ask “Why did you go this way? What might have happened to have made a difference?” Incredible what you can learn if you’re open to communication.
