Ouch, that hurt… Saw it coming, and couldn’t do a damn thing to stop it.

What happened, Ben? My teammates are slow to report so I’ll get my news from you. 
I see SG finally learned the 770 order. Congrats! Is it safe to assume I am facing a diff’t player than that guy who hated my guts? You know, the one who sailed into my waters, sank my navy, and called ME a deceiver?
Russangarunya
The Deceiver
Nope, same guy… And you did try to deceive us.

Hmm . . . SG would look better if you claimed he was a diff’t player. Otherwise, the 6 turns of inactivity look rather . . .suspect. I wouldn’t blame him for bailing out on you. I would bail if I had to face someone as stout and warworthy as me, Russangarunya, The Wraith-King Pirate-Lord of Umbar-Gondor.
So, back to my orginal Q . . what happened to you, Ben? I hope it was really really bad. I’m still waiting on those DS reports . . . lousy slow servants of mine. I’m thinking of replacing my dark servants with a whole new crew of servants. Care to volunteer? I’m just worthy of so much more than I’ve taken. You, fletch, and that skanky wizard would make a fine addition to my serving staff. I can already see it in my mind . . .Saruman fanning me with a giant seaweed-covered feather while Fletch feeds me grapes that are stuck in his beard ("dingleberries, in dwarvish) and Ben gives my rotting, zombie feet a pedicure. What will my nazgul do? Don’t worry. I’ll send them where I’ve already sent Uvatha and Ji Indur . . . to tend my bathrooms! My unpottie-trained zombie sailors make quite a mess in there!

Nevermind on the Dingleberries from Fletch’s beard. My servant, Sauron, just informed me of what they REALLY are! Not grapes, that’s for sure.
Russangarunya
Some of our guys died, some of your guys died… and some other dealings… But we’re coming into Mordor again.

Feather THIS!
Saruman, No Pirate’s Slave
Ouch, Ben. Now I know. Heh heh heh … maybe some of my nazgul servants are worthing keeping around yet?
Russangarunya
Glad you’re still optomistic, Ben, but is it fair for you to drag the game on when your allies would prefer to throw in the towel and concede? Granted you’ve done a number on the Khand but . . . who cares about the Khand? Certainly I don’t. They are and have always been useless to me. The Dark Servants are barely worth keeping around. I let them serve me out of pity for them.
Russangarunya
Well, I imagine the Khand will be having to relocate soon… just as the CL did thus turn, and the Dragon Lord… You guys will run out of major towns before we will…
And my oh my, look at all those icons coming in. Character wars are fun and all, but armies tend to settle things. Your little incursions into the west isn’t enough to stop us.
I’m not dragging anything out, Russ. It’s you guys that are dragging things out.
- Ben
Silvan Elves
Indeed, we ARE dragging things out . . .we’re dragging your dead bodies and artifacts out of Mordor. They stink!
The Khand have already located
Russangarunya
Yeah . . .they relocated . . . I gave them a room in the closet of my bathroom
Russangarunya
I sense quite a few more relocations… Snicker
- Ben
Silvan Elves
Relocations, Indeed! I’m planning soon to have a relocation of your limbs away from your body! As a reminder to the rest who still oppose my Righteous Will, I’ll hang your left arm in Bree (what’s left of it), your left leg in Dol Amroth, your right arm in Shrel Kain, your right leg in Minas Morgul . . . Your head, I will leave stuck up your posterior as it seems such a perfect fit!
Russangarunya
Dark Lord of Umbar-Gondor
Shyeah, right… I’ll be coming to get you long before you can even dream about making it into Mirkwood.

Ben,
After looking this forum over, Do you get the impression that you and I are the only players in this game?
Russ
Perhaps, but you and I both know that I’m winning.
- Ben
Silvan Elves
If by “winning” you mean “losing” then, yeah, I agree with you!
Russangarunya
Ahh, once again your delusions are acting up again. Russ, you do realize that Mordor will be burning soon, right? Quit living in denial.
- Ben
Silvan Elves
Little One,
The World is a very big place. Mordor is a small, pathetic piece of it. You’re doing me a favor. I will commence burning Mordor myself after I am finished with you and your . . . kind. Trouble me no further, Ant. Keep silent and await your judgement.
By My Command,
Russangarunya
