I doubt Saruman will share your opinion about the WK being a “mini-nation” after next turn. Slowly you are driven back from the gates of Mordor, and the rate of you collapse will only increase. It’s still 12 nations to 11 BTW. Your failure to eliminate me when you had the chance shall be your doom, along with your unfounded arrogance. As my friend the KE would say “mwah ha ha ha ha!!”

<<I claim we have the ability to take a City with a 100 loyalty with our numerous skilled emissaries in one turn, if just we can get those pesky armies out of the way. >>
Huh? You couldn’t even take Lug Ghurzun. And it was a Major Town, not a City . . . with much less than 100 loyalty . . . and NO “pesky armies” defending it. Oh well. I’ve crossed it off my to do list afterall. Now my Northern Campaign will advance unhindered.
My thanks to the Corsairs for releasing Urig this turn. I hope it didn’t have anything to do with those pesky daggers that keep flying out of the darkness and killing you guys. I’ll try to find something for Urig to do. Maybe he can sweep the palace floors.

Murazor,
Your nation has been and will always be a Big Boy in my book! Don’t listen to those nasty Elves. Go kill and maim. It will make you feel better.

I’m role-playing this time, otherwise I’d have something really witty as a come-back. I really would!
N.
Well, with this statement you already broke your roleplaying streak . . . so let’s hear that comeback! I like witty comebacks, even if they ARE at my expense! 
Russ
I’m role-playing: elves suck.
And I am Elrond and no we don’t.
El-Drone more like. yawn.
We all know you are just trying to cloak your capitalist ambitions in pious indignation and righteousness. Admit it , you only want the rest of the freep world to kow-tow to your designs! We on the other hand are a loose confederation of member states under a divine leadership, whose single desire is to unite middle-earth as one nation for the greater good!
KRUSNAK, the voice of Dendra
I hear Elrond likes to prance around the woods in a skirt like a faerie.
…according to tavern talk a “confirmed bachelor”. Ever since the demise of his missus he`s never been known to have an escort of the the female variety…however the tendency of elven male youth at imladris to resemble the female of the species is somewhat worrying.
KRUSNAK, commentator on social affairs.
These nasty rumours come as no surprise to me. They originated, no doubt, when I told how I thrilled to see Sauron laid low by Gil-Galad’s spear. Then Sauron’s spies and liars have had a gay old time pouring ridicule at my expense. Despite the character assassination, I wouldn’t take back the sight of Sauron falling for any price.
Now, for seconds, I think I’ll settle for the death of Urzahil, or better yet, that traitor in his employ, Celedhring. If you hate the Eldar so much, please hand him over. Or better yet, stand still a while so that we can come get you.
– Gildring
Whatever, you’re just mad at Celedhring because he refused to be dressed up in a skirt. Go back to prancing, faerie boy.
Yikes!
He may well have been “one of them”, but he has seen the error of his ways and now bats for the correct side…
BULRAKUR the liberal
When the Black Gate falls, I’ll have your head on a spike Bulrakur.
Ya-boo-sucks, as El-Drone is wont to say to Gelding. Get your tongue out of his posterior and take a look around! How many troops made it out of Dol Guldor alive?
BULRAKUR the brave
Barad Dur still stands, unscathed.
Sounds like you were quite worried about its fate…
Maybe you should look closer to home for the next fall of a major town…? Someone is hurting pretty bad, and they are not on our side. Which nation cant name new commanders for lack of gold, has dropping loyalties, cant afford the troops to defend their pop.centers and is in a world of trouble??
DENDRA the delirious
Funny thing about bridges, they can be rebuilt. Gee, I wonder which bridge is going to be rebuilt soon. Can you guess?
