Just a follow up i sent middle earth 4 emails to our Neutral nations of our game.
I sent diplo cards to:
Corsairs
Rhun Easterlings
Dunlendings
White Wizard
Khand - I’m in contact with him.
Brian
Lets hope for a nice prosperous turn today with food at a 3!
why dont we have a secure place we can chat? Or do we? can someone invite me in? Food buy out didn’t work guys?
Just touching bases - we ain’t heard from the Corsairs or Rhun either. Tell you what - if the NM do a pre-emptive strike on the Rhun capital we won’t tell anyone about that plan - how does that sound? 
Much prefer this game to the other game 238 (all over but the yawning) and it’s fun. Interesting aggression in Ithil but we think we have it covered.
How’s the artefact collating going?
In the spirit of harmonious play how about we ALL buy out food this turn and see if we can get it to Brian’s “mythical” 3 value. I’m in for it if you are…
:rolleyes:
Clint (player)
Well i’m so glad we found those artifacts guys, at least we can keep them away from those pesky DS.
Food buy-out didn’t work of course food is never the best source for buy-outs. Mostly metals work the best. Food we will hardly ever see a 3, as Clint describes it.
I see that most of the DS in Mordor has raised their taxes pretty high, their camps are dissapearing.
Sure Ice King,
We take out the Rhun and you tell the other neutrals what war mongers we are when everyone knows it’s Sauron and you Nazgul that always start the wars.
I’ll tell you what, why don’t Hoarmurath and Elrond settle this mano-a-mano? 
(snicker, laugh, happy, happy, joy, joy at the thought)
Elrond
Still laughing
