Game 235 - Turn 17

Well- I don’t see anything up for our game yet- so I guess I’ll strat it off and wait for the others to get on board!

Is anybody out there yet?

“Junior Member”?!?!?!?!?

Crap! I HATE starting over… again…

Desperatley seeking Senior Memberness…

We’re here… just waiting and plotting the demise of more Nazgul…

PS - You can change your title. Check the FAQ.

Thanks Mac for restarting the thread. At last I have access again to a MEPBM forum. After upgrading to IE6, I couldn’t get access to the pbmforum anymore so glad that it’s xferred over here now.

Looking forward to some taunts.

Hey Fletch,

That’s not very nice blaming me for the demise of your dwarf characters. If they had learnt how to clean their beards then they might have been infected with such a deadly disease.

Many thanks to my dearest enemy Ben for pointing me in the direction of the FAQ list… “Junior Member” was too grating for me to endure!

Macman

Yes thank you Ben and the people who created the faq list…

All this covorting with Orcs and Khandlings is making us sick. Not to mention all the time we spent with the elves on the way here. We’ll obviously need to delouse once we get to Khand Amu!

It will only be a matter of time now. Way to miss the army com by the way…

Fletch

King Under the Mountain

Yeah, yeah… last I checked you hadn’t issued move orders for the almost-dead commander either… I guess both sides missed the mark on that one eh?

Never fear- all mistakes will be soon ammended, and just in time for Rhun’s arrival after a long hiatus! We were wodnering if you had been unnerved by the sudden loss of so many armies and pop centres a few turns back… glad you could make it to our party…

Macman
Chairman of the “welcome” committee…

Things are looking kinda desperate if you’ve got the Cloud Chump and Blind Fool leading armies to stop the Northmen’s path of destruction, eh? Yeah, we’re correcting our mistakes now. Your offensive on the west back of the Anduin has come to a screaming halt.

  • Ben

Uh . . . Silvan . . . . who would you expect to defend the backdoor of Mordor? At least our Cloud and Blind Lords are capable unlike most games!

Yes, Mac, it stinks to be a “newbie” on the board all over again. But at least you have a picture with your postings. You must tell me how that’s done! (I’ve become so inept at internet/computer things these days . . . lack of time and getting old I guess . . .)

I guess Ben is used to games where the servants just curl up into the fetal position when the freeps come rolling in… sorry dude- you’re just making it more economical for us to fight you— your side can afford to send thousands of troops into the back door over a period of turns- good for you.
We can afford to field the agents, curse teams and armies for the turn or two it takes to destroy you. As an added bonus, we don’t have to guess where you are either! I told you you’d be coming to me… (I WAS thinking more in terms of agents buuuuut… I’ll take what I can get!

Content with the easy pickin’s!

Generalisimo Macman,

You and your yapping friends merely help disguise the greater purpose of the One. Keep waiting for Elves and the stumped ones, the Leaders are coming.

Saruman, no mans FOOL

Well, finally the Northmen have been given the opportunity to speak.

The other day I was sitting on my throne in my capital looking south towards Mordor. I saw smoke rising from beyond the mountains, and I thought it was just smoke from Barad-dur…but NO it couldn’t be. To my surprise and joy I realized that the smoke was rising from the Dragon Lord capital at 3822.

I smiled to myself and thought “nice job, boys”

I wonder how long Bain will survive, now that I know the DS knives are after him… problably not long, but he did a fine job.

General Bain, soon to be 6 feet under with a smile on his lips

You can’t hold us off forever. We’ll be breaking down the gates to Morannon shortly.

  • Ben

Oh, no, not the gates. This means I’ll have to spend a saturday at Lowe’s buying a new fence to put up. I’m not sure I’ll be able to do my work with the stench of your dead bodies just on the other side of the gate.

Thats ok Russ, if you build a fence, most likely a slight wind or small child can knock it down! I imagine you’ll man it just as well as those boats of yours ehh??<S>

What? Thats right, I said it, what??

Fletch

A Dwarf disparaging small children…? Um, mirror…?

Saruman

Not to worry- we’ll use captured Dwarven smiths and masons to build new gates at Morannon… there’s got to be a few amongst the thousands clamouring at Khand’s and Dog Lord’s front doors… we’ll take a few prisoners this time round…

Macman
Project Co-ordinator

Only a slightly-stronger-than-normal small child could do it, thank you!!!

You guys may take Tirith, but we’ll easily take it back. However when we take Morannon, I guarantee you guys will have problems trying to take it back from us, if you do so at all.
