I thank your team for taking this with such grace. You had no reason to be so amenable to what was a failure on our side to play properly either as individuals or a team. Since we know we can play better, we wish to play again, and you accepted. Thank you.
Being the PDF whore I am, I am inclined to ask if your team would be interested in a PDF/XML full swap for this game – but not until after we finish the next game.
I don’t know if you guys have a policy of swap or no, and I have no idea if you would want to reveal just how many of your teammates failed to submit orders this game (and other travesties of similar embarrassment), but if you’re up for a swap I would love to swap out.
However, I don’t want it to interfere with the thought processes of the rematch. Hence, I would like the swap (if any) to occur after the rematch.
Our best guess is your Army ran into Gandalf or Ghouls or something. We postulated every possible combination of known events and nothing we could come up with would make an Army icon go away except either a bug in the program or an Army-killing encounter.
Yes, army erradicated due to a do-gooder. The bugger.
I’ll ask the team about a swap. But what you will find is 3 straight bankruptcies. 2 caused by sloppy orders and lazy calculations (assisted by the FP at Barrad Perras on IK - funny thing is we assumed you would burn it so in effect we killed it ourselves - shouldn’t have been in that position though and that was the real issue), and the third by seige of 2715 (but a bad “to and from” in a gold send the turn before was what nailed it, we assumed you would seige but a bad order and poof). I don’t think you will find much interesting except embarrassment on our part.
Nicely done on Maben by the way. May I ask the agent rank? Did you get RoW and then use it right away?
The agent was a 40. We did get/transfer and use the RoW. Total rank was 85(35 from RoW and another +10 agent arty) with a +20 stealth arty we also transferred. The big difference, the nation was downgraded with the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Lord was probably not with them (Duns).
Yes, to save time, lets just please keep the neutrals the same.
Our team members have until noon today (EST United States, I have no idea what that is GMT) for changes to our team/nation list. Then it gets sent to Clint.
FYI: We have asked Clint to run the final turn. We can barely wait to see what the Ents do to Dol Guldur.
