Sorry, Stewie. Overworking and exhaustion is drying up my “legendary” wit. Where are the jokes about Canadian Lawnmowers? Classic stuff that I can never imitate again.

Ok, Rohan needs to quit sending troops up the Emyn Muil… I’m getting annoyed.

You killed me. My wife a couple turns ago. Beware our daughters’ revenge…
You’re also 3/3 with the neutrals. Congratulations. This usually only happens when I’m doing my team’s diplomacy, but alas, I’ve been silent in that department. And my hockey team lost tonight too. I’ve had a good day.
Stewie
Cheer up Stewie !
It appears that some of those elves have decided to show themselves - and one army is in my mountain camp, no doubt up to no good…
However, your hopes for having your S. Gondor friend help you
attack Mordor appear to be dashed. Perhaps those secondary skills he was working on will help him out now

Hey Stewie,
Double good news for you! The camp limit has been hit so SG will now get to concentrate on other things . . .such as trying not to die! Admit it . . . a smile crossed your face when you received his panic-stricken turn report. 
This is all Karma-type payback for not taking the plunge with me in . . . whatever game that was where we were both neutrals. It’s your desiny to end up on my team some day . . you’ll learn.
Dol Guldur will never die,
Russ in the Trenches
It was the previous 235 and I asked your Corsairs for ships and you never delivered them to Isengard. Too bad for you.
The smile is there…in an oddly masocistic sort of way…but the report seems to be a little late this turn… what up that?
Stewie - patiently sipping tea at the mailbox
Oh, and about that Dol Guldor stuff… You are correct, it will never die. Between the new condo’s, mini-malls and theme parks, we expect the place will really start to hop when we take it.
Stewie the Stockholder
ps - my team rebounded with 2 shut-outs in a row, 2 games to 1. Ha! A better day… Now if only the news from SG is half as good…when it comes…
I AM Stewie
Saruman,
Sorry to have forgotten my mantra for you for a few turns !
" So, have you found the ring yet ? "
Hoarm
So FP… The Corsairs have landed in South Gondor, the Khand have swept north into the Rhun Sea, Buth Oviasa stands firm, Mirkwood is a warzone, the east bank of the Anduin is secure, CL agents run rampant, and the DS economies grow stronger with every successful buyout. And it’s turn 8.
Give up yet?

You have done well, Servants of Sauron. Now is the time to resign with your heads held high.
Stewie
LOL. That actually made me laugh!
-Russ
Laugh wormking, after the dog is tied up, we will pull your tail.

Yes, yes… I am a bit preoccupied with that rabble from Rohan. Hark, what is that I hear behind me? Could it be? Why yes, yes it is… It’s the Long Rider, Dark Lts., Witch King, Ice King, Corsairs, and Khand Easterlings. Surely they’ll continue the job I’ve started, and then I’ll finish things.

Dog Lord
Their time will come, they should enjoy their existance.
Now run away little dark sparrow.
I have to entertain an uninvited guest.

Have no fear Rohan! I’ll salvage some shards of timber from these former bridges and send it off to you for Weapons! I’d have loved to ship over my mithril stores, but it was all stockpiled on one of Ecthelion’s posted camps on the East…I mean, Dark Bank. I’ll ask SG for some if you like…we’ll tell him it clashes with Steel and I’m sure he’d be willing to send it over in exchange for some talc and a good decaf tea…
Stewie
Stewie,
I feel I could win your allegiance if you were a neutral in this game!
Russ, Sweettalkin’ Dragon Lord
Take him,
All he wants to do is put up shopping malls, tattoo parlors and casinos. He is ruining the west…
Watch out, he has plans for a nice little condomium outside of Mt Doom…beware he’s got a devious plan for a ski resort!!!
Dug
the other ELF
Fine then “dug” the “other” elfie. I’ll join the DS. No problem, not like I was helping SG with his training, or sending any sausage rolls to the endless Mirkwood pot-lucks you frickin’ elves kept having. Oh sorry, I haven’t contributed any of my lucky sleeves to the North Kingdom Quilting Faire. I’ve simply been getting slapped around and shot at by 6 or so DS nations within 2 turns march from my nation with nary an ally in sight.
Fine then. Russ, send me an invite to your yahoo group, I’ll sign up, no problem…
Stewie
Gee, Rohan still wants to play. Let’s rock and roll.
