Russ,
Do you really hate Ents so much that you dare to drag two kicking and screaming dragons into my beloved Fangorn?
They may well be the death of you.

Everyone loves Mordor
Just think, Dug. A little combat spell or arty in the Dragon Lord army to kill an additional 15 troops in the Noldo army to disband it last turn and Dol Guldur would still stand! 
Well played.
I’m not so upset that we lost a pop center as I am that I broke my streak. You are the first team to capture my capital in my 8 years of 2950 gaming. I should have 950’d last turn to save my “streak” or would that be “dirty”?
Too bad your first Capital-victory is tempered by the loss of the Northmen capital. We outnumber you in capital taking 4-to-1. You have taken Dol Guldur. We have Taken/Burned Shrel-Kain, Caras Galadhon, Dol Amroth, and . . . uh . . . Morannon. Hey, A capital’s a capital! We have many more victories to come. Don’t think you’ve even dented our morale. This is more like your last gasp. A final bow before the curtain calls. At least you go out with a twinkle of glory instead of your heads hung in shame. Well done.
-Russ
Thanks Russ,
It was “very” close. You’ve slipped our noose too many times. It’s been a challenge to say the least. You’re an excellent player.
But the funny thing to all of this - Dol Guldor is now owned by Darrell!
- Dug
<<Dol Guldor is now owned by Darrell!

- For now.

Heyyyy! How’s it goin’ game 233!!!???
Finished my 3 bottles of CC this week, slept, ate pills, slept, and am now back in business. Thanks for ALL that attention Mr Celebrick. I wouldn’t have hit the porcelain this week quite the same way without it. Russ, what’s this I hear? We’ve kicked you out of Mirkwood? Eliminated the Dark Threat? Apparently, according to my allies, who removed all the cursers and agents and emissaries from my theatre, we’ve won the game and it’s all because you stink? Well, thankie for that! You’re a good guy Russ! I’d also like to thank the rest of the Dark Servants for not retiring quite yet, in order for me to not only reclaim all of Gondor, but Mordor also. Oh right, and Khand, Harandor, Rhun, and Umbar. Thanks for sitting there and waiting for me! Really appreciate it!
Schtoooieeee
Er . . . congratz on a hard fought victory?
I lost a couple rings, anyone seen them? Reward if returned.
Ji Indur
Actually, I’m out. Position turned over to someone else.
I’m too busy to waste time and money on a game that is already decided. Believe it or not, some FP think they still have a chance of winning.
Egads, pity that. That means some new whelp is energized by taking Dol Guldur and thinks he will conquer the world now.
Russ
Eh? I’m well on my way to conquering the world, what kind of snarkiness are you trying to spam out at me Russtifer? Dude, get yourself a Life (that’s L, not W…) and listen real close: Gondor shall arise and reclaim it’s rightful legacy. (That’s Mordor, Harandor, Khand, and Osgiliath too, for those keeping score at home). It has been written, it shall be done.

And 1 week later, we’re well on our way, excepting that sneaky bugger Shagrat, or whatever his name is. Apparently, the relative army locations was explained to me by the company as “You stood to fight and he ran from the field.” Well, Denethor is still squared for the fight…at 2722. Come back you coward!
Stewie
Yeah, yeah Stoolie, you all only lost a camp, village and a town in Gondor this turn. Well on the way to regaining dominance.
Never understood why the curse company let my army live this long, very bad play on the FP part. Of course we have screwed the pooch so many times on the DS side it is almost comical. Luckily (for us) you will never be able to defeat our economic might no matter how inept we play.
Look out for the curse company and the assassin nearby. Better late than never, right?
You did not really need that MT, town and 4 villages not counting the town at 2622 did you?
Ren the Ravager
You know, you’re absolutely right. I don’t need it, I don’t need ANY of it! Gooood Byyyyyye tooo itttt Allllllll Sayayayayaya Good Byyyyyyeeee tooooo ittttt allllllll!!!
A little cabin in the woods, a little north or Arnor, a few hooks and some line and I’m all set.
Stewie the Enlightened
Where’d D-ug and the other D-elves go ? Hiding in shame as it took their taller brethren to help finally make an impact in Mirkwood ?
Hoarm
Forming bucket brigades to quench all the fires left in our wake, most likely.
Ren the pyro
- Not only took their taller brethren but some dirty, stinking western-men wearing skirts. Baa, baa, listen to the sheep in Dol Guldur. Why do they sound so disturbed? What treachury occurs in the Dunlending-ruled DG?!
-Russ the Disgusted
Ousted from the Trenches of Mirkwood (but not for long, mwah ha ha!!)
No Post in over a week!
Has the FP tactic of boring our DS opponents to “death” by playing on, even with no chance of winning, started to work? Are you dropping yet?
And what is that pesky Saruman up to? No word from him. Has the effect of the ONE RING turned him into a NPC already?
Still Holding off the Hordes
Riders of Rohan
Hey now… be nice! Im Saroooman the great right?
Anyhoo- I think (repeat THINK) I have caught up to the one ring this turn- in a rohan pop centre oddly enough…
I let you all know what happens this turn.
Macman- Da Wiz
Kalawhatever,
Yes, you are the masters of boredom ! Takes you Rohan types 21 turns to even get a post in
Lets see. The 87th Rohan blocking army met on or near the road. Rinse. Repeat.
So you think this is unwinnable for FP? And the enjoyment in playing another 21 turns would be?..
Hoarm
I wish I was playing in this game…we taunt and we get nothing back in our game…maybe because we is kicking their butts?
smile
Have fun gaming!!!1
