Game 225 - War Begins

Where did all the FP go…are they packing their bags for the Uttermost West?? That place will really have gone downhill if they are letting the Dwarves in now. Geez, soon even Orcs will be able to visit and we all know what that does to property values!

I think a few of them will certainly be packing their bags soon, although their tortured souls will be welcomed in barad-dur by our sorcerors and they can be niftily repackaged in Wraith-form a la the unfortunate Gelding. Watch this space, coming soon: ELROND THE WRAITH!

That`s the trouble when you start playing Mordor-Roulette. Especially when you get to think you have your opponent outclassed in agents and emmies…when it simply might not be true…

I wanna play!

You know fine, Ben, you are gonna get to play this week–just wait your tunr like a good boy!

DENDRA the Dastard

A voice from another time returns. :mad: another party the greatest of warlords was not invited to. Perhaps the lush ones will consider the Lion next time? :cool:

Alan,

i think you had too may parties going on at the time! You are of course a fully paid up LUSH! If you want to join this one however, simply wait til one of the freeps drop and you can come test your mettle on us…

DENDRA the Drunk

Possibly, but I do like to party. Might be good to knock horns wi you guys, specially Fletch. Nominated target isn’t he? :wink:

Well, I think that’s all she wrote. The large lady warbles. The turning point, in my estimation, was the loss of Galadriel when the Sinda player was special serviced.

From there you could surpass us in SM and keep developing those deadly CL agents. I think it would have been a much different story if could have killed one of your SM mages (like Urzahil) and kept Galadrield with Tinculin, etc. Stealing Nallagurth didn’t do much good once she was dead.

As it stands now, we can not win, though the contest could drag on for many more turns. I doubted your strategy of using all (most) of your mages for SM only, since I thought revealing hidden FP pop. centers would be more critical. What do I know!

It’s been a good war. I’ll confer with my allies and see if they want to go the One Ring route, but I doubt they’ll go for it. We have two Elven rings of power now, so one of our mages has a dizzing mage rank, but we just might have to take those westward with us.

Cheers,

Nick ME 225

I kinda figured that’s what happened. Sorry to hear the bad luck, but it’s been a damn good game, Nick.

Kinda sad to hear of an [almost] concession…i know this game would run for many more turns, however the tide has indeed turned and you have become easier to trap thanks to our SM superiority. We haven`t seen all the turns over here yet, but the early ones are encouraging for us.
Did desparation drive you to Mordor roulette?

dendra the dumbfounded.

Hate to see it end in a way. I don’t think I’ve ever been past turn 21 or so. Let us know asap. We’re rabid, battle-crazed, and straining at the bit to fight on if you are!!!

Nice smackdown on Urdrath. I guess an execution is in order for the embarrasment my second-in-command has caused you? Too bad Ole’ Slippery Ovatha-himself eluded your grasp. He smelled impending defeat for his long-victorious army that took the glory of Khand all the from the Coasts of Umbar to the Northern Reaches of Mirkwood. Don’t worry. You’ll see him again if this game continues. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Either way, great game, and we appreciate the banter on the boards. Silent enemies are sooo boring. The nearly 900 messages of this thread are doubtless a record?

Line up, Alan. Team Lush may be having another go of it soon if 225 is indeed coming to an end. :stuck_out_tongue:

Russ

Yeah!

David, :eek:

Poor Shoglic…his skull will flame no more…

Still, with all the artifacts laying in the dirt in my capital, I will obviously need to upgrade the security features…mirrors, rings, staves, cloaks…damn…I guess I’m the pimp of Middle Earth now!

Fletch of the Cloud Lord…new spokesperson yet to be appointed

Hey!!! Actually in this game I havent been the target too often!! Maybe thats why we are doing so well, usually when I get killed you guys lose so it must obviously be my superior strategy and skill at Middle Earth which is turning the tide here!!

Yeaaaaaaaaah, thats it, Fletch. Well keep that in mind for the next round; protect the Fletchmeister at all costs…

I shouldn’t speak for my teammates on the issue of continuing the game but taunts are another matter.

The game of Mordor Roulette turned out to be a necessity-- we didn’t have enough Cursers in that group to be effective, but Sickness was available. Given that situation, it seemed natural to use the emissary abilities of those characters. Kill army commanders, influence pop., and research Curses once I got Elenruth back. Ah well…

I’ll let my teammates mull it over.

Good gaming!

Nick 225

Ok guys so when you’re ready let me know and we can get nations sorted if you’re starting another game up.

Russ? never been past t21? I was in a 1650 game before I got fed up of it around turn 80 :cool:

Alan,

I think we are being a little presumptive so far–this game could drag on for turns and turns if the FP so decided. They might even think they cans still win it given the right circumstances/play. So hold your cavalry Mr.Jeffrey!

David :stuck_out_tongue:

Well there is that, Just checking. Im in the next one for sure.
