Game 235 turn 21

Hey Freepers. You’re oddly quiet for turn day. Nothing much to brag about? Are you busy discussing whether or not to throw in the towel? Ah, certainly, certainly, I understand. I’ll let you get back to your discussion now.

Sangarunya
Heir of Umbar and Gondor

ps . . . Looks like Linhir has been painted pink

Still waiting for some more reports, but we’ve got our ups and downs, just like you guys do. Ask how the WK is doing, and guys lucked out that we didn’t flip anything, although we came damn close.

  • Ben
    Silvan Elves

Well, another stupid southern village doesn’t count, OR, I’m not included in the We bit…which is just FINE! Don’t want to be party to these FP FOOLS anymore than the DS ones!

Saruman the ONE

My apologies, Saruman the Wise. I was referring to the useless tracts of land in Mordor and didn’t think to include you in there because of the valiant work you’ve done down south.

  • Lindal, Lord of Shadow

Have you heard from your Ranger yet? Spring hasn’t come, yet I hear it’s pretty HOT in Bree!

Yeah, we noticed that little bug up north. No worries though, we’ll be just fine. Now you guys might want to worry though cause we will be busting down the door to Mordor shortly.

  • Ben
    Silvan Elves

Turn20 and you are still talking about bursting down the door of Mordor.

Let me guess…your going to complain about the bridge again aren’t you ?

Cheers

Pretty much… although I will say, nice move up north. Didn’t see that one coming either, but we should have. If anything, you’ve dragged the game out another ten turns, at least… :slight_smile:

  • Ben
    Silvan Elves

Well I am up a whole new Major Town. :smiley:

Did someone set up a B-B-Q at Pelargir and not tell me ? Thats just not on.

NG

P.S. In relation to weather. Actually got some sun in Scotland today. It was quite a surprise.

I’d love some sun. It’s been raining here in Southeastern USA for about 5 days straight. How can I use my new Canadian-built lawnmower with all this rain?! Nothing to do but sit inside and watch CNN news (and plan the reunification of Gondor and Umbar :slight_smile:

Russ / Cors

While we’re off topic, did anyone catch the CHILDREN OF DUNE miniseries on SciFi channel? I know we have a couple of Dune fans that play this game . . .

Are you sure it’s a lawn mower? We make really spiffy snow blowers - might you have been suckered into another foolish war at the behest of your corporate masters for the purpose of furthering their fascist agenda against their own citizens…I mean, bad purchase?

Canadian Wizard

Bens banged his last, strange name Benbanger. Unless thats our Silvan guy. Duns have Fire running around too but the Fire dept has been resupplied with pletny of hose and extinguisher.

Soon to be Ren the Clean, and very wet!!!

Sorry Ben, I missed you asking about my health. Not too bad. A bit of a sore head but that’s got more to do with Saint Patricks day than anything else.

As for losing two characters this turn…well it had to happen sometime. I mean it’s turn21 and it’s the first characters that I’ve lost all game.

Excellent! I knew the name “Benbanger” would distract Ben from any important targets. I’d like to report that no troops were lost in his assassination attempt. There are reports, though, that Commander Benwhacker is feeling rather afraid for her life.

Russ / Cors

Well, Brendan… I like to think that us kicking you out of the north rather quickly was painful enough. But have no fear, you’ll be losing more characters soon. Just keep’em coming. :slight_smile:

  • Ben
    Silvan Elves

Howdy! What did I miss? Not too much apparently! I’m truly impressed by the number of freeps in Minas Morgul. Best of luck fellas- the beer is in the box labelled “point towards enemy”- give it a good tug!

Macman
Caterer to all the big Nazgul.

But haven’t you noticed Ben that we are back in the north ? Ask the poor citizens of Bree…

Shrug Yeah, Bree may fall, but so will Morgul… And I’m willing to bet that we’ve got more major towns than you do. How’s the Dragon Lord doing?

<<And I’m willing to bet that we’ve got more major towns than you do.>>

Hmm, I’m in on that bet! How much are you up for?
