So, I hope you will be able to convince Steve that there is no need to get angry about the game.
whichever brad posted this line. nah, im not “flamed out” about the game. been off the boards cause real life is busy, and theres enough of you bad guys trying to extract info ( this is so ed mills thing, i type with respect as the tone.). our side had/continues to have some drama, but you’ve got 3 land masses trying to work together. lotsa opinion and tactics tossed about, lotsa passionate feelings. me, i’m actually a quiet one on my side. just enjoying the one nation bank(ONB) thread, and the collapsing american housing market has me thinking “american rockies” for sking vacation home.
honestly, if theres no defense vs the ONB tactic, why play? lets put up some bounds, and press right to line. are people that desperate to win? find a spouse and bump pelvic bones, you’ll feel much better then mepbm victory…
besides, i’m in 1 game these days, how fired up can you get? i’m gonna load the “Atari classic pack”, and relive my pre-teens. read you all on friday, asuuming we don’t kill off another of your nations.
and yes brad, we did “off” one of your nations. but i’m more interested in a good game, then a win. it might not be pretty, but the ending is in doubt. please proceed with forecasting our doom.
SM
had to edit “get laid” out, add “bump pelvic bones” the extreme right here in the states would be up in arms. anyway, back to forcasting our doom.
Steve you post as a statement of fact that you have eliminated a nation. Being on the side with the supposedly eliminated nation I know which nations are still playing and which if any have been eliminated. You are clearly suffering from wishful thinking. You took hostile action of consequence against only two nations last turn. Do you really think you successfully eliminated them or are you fishing? We’ll play along this time…oh my god we’ve lost a nation in only 16 turns. We are doomed. Let’s hope the shattered 87percent of the team can some how manage to hang on for another turn or two.
since the ny football giants won a game finally, i’ll indulge you. i don’t fish. if your team is “shattered”( your word) i’m sad for you. the only one selling drama here is you. i stand by the statement your 1 nation down. enjoy the rest of your weekend, and your week. i’ll be away until the next turn, the effort in sparring with you yields no advantage.
I also hope you manage a way to hang in there, tough it out, salvage some pride from your pasting. My goal is your fragilized self esteem this game has wrought. I mean you no ill will and only wish you and yours all the best in this and every other endeavor you choose to persue. Hopefully, one day, when your older and big enough, you too will get to win a game. I hope I’m still around and can congratulate you - “Good job! Way to stick with it!”.
Tnanks for the good thoughts. Thankfully I have reached one goal of winning games. We will just try to make this one interesting enough that you and yours don’t drop from boredom.
Out of curiousity, which nation is knocked out…several of our team members don’t post their turns on a regular basis and there are several that are not yet posted up for the group.
It wasn’t too long ago when you were so flustered by our trolling and other posts that you were ready to stop posting here…something about begging Ed to make us stop?
Is this a signal that you are “thirsty for more” or should we still be nice to you out of fear your head may explode and injure some of the people on your team we actually like?
I’ve been told that I’m a nuisance and a disruption when I show I care about the game itself, so I’ve recommitted myself to being a nuisance and disruption in Game 18 instead. Let the program hang itself, I’ll take my emotional cloudiness out on you. Besides, I’ve taken steps outside the game to prevent my descent into binge drinking whenever I hear the voice of Ed in my head.
Brad, what you are experiencing is known (among old soldiers) as the ‘cockroach’. It runs around in your head until you become a danger to yourself and others. A good cure is to go to Hong Kong and lose yourself in the fleshpots for a week or so. I’m concerned about you.
Great. A compassionate (?) Ed running through my head. “Don’t scout for the Cardolani curse squad Brad, run off to the brothel with the kids college money. You’ll feeeeel better Brad…”
Well the finishing touches are just about done on the last turn to run before Christmas. We will try to brighten your gaming spirits with this one. As one of the surviving members of the DS alliance I wish you Free a Merry Christmas.
its the nation who hasn’t reported for a few turns. the one whose “named” character we have doubled, and isn’t accepting orders. so, your a genius, your down a nation, or you have rebellious character. thanks for the emmisary boost too. yep, your down a nation. you might be down 2 :rolleyes: , but telling you that would be cheating. i could send you proof:eek: , but my teammates wouldn’t like me sending you my turn report.
i never used the cute little icons. but since i’m being cute, what the heck.
Just stand by your position Steve. It doesn’t matter to us how sure you are that we are down a position, maybe even two in fact if you act on that information it will just make our job a bit easier.
As for me; I am waiting to see you eliminate all our population centers outside of Mordor in just a few turns. Could you clarify what you consider as a few turns? Fifteen or twenty sound about right to you? As I said all of mine are outside of Mordor, so that will be impressive indeed. Long Rider too, Witch King, well for that matter Dark Lieutentants, Cloud Lord, oh and yes the Quiet Avenger. I will be most interested to see you eliminate all of those in the next few turns.
I really hope you all will exchange pdfs at the game end. We are willing, it will be fascinating indeed to see how both sides can see the game so completely differently at this point.
I notice Ditski has been missing normally he’s quite active posting. Did the Long Rider’s but kicking of his fleet cause him to quit? I remember you losing Winstun now Ditski too? Don’t those Australians of yours even have the manners to say see yah? Yes, yes we know the position is still in play even if it is harmless. Tell Bernd I really did think the camp was Northmen, did not realize it was Eothraim until I got to it. Hope there’s not a ton of stores there about to be lost.
As Darrel says this should be “A” very interesting turn. More after results are in.
Can we ask Clint to move this to a one week game? I’m wondering if you will have any original team members left if this goes on much longer.
I concerned that all the original members that talked smack for the first 12-15 turns of our demise will be gone by the time we finish you off and the new guys will all be upset over the bill of goods they were sold when joining up.
