Didn’t feel right having an enemy icon in my six, so my warriors are going to remove the offending army. Hope your troops are looking forward to becoming a bloody smear on the plains of Mordor…

How about me instead, Gixxx - didn’t you tell me that my army @ 3822 wouldn’t be enough to get the job done?
Well, Lug Ghurzun is a smoking ruin and 1200 LR troops are lying dead on the battlefield. My army not only survived but is now going to win another battle at 4025.
Here’s a hint for the future - when it comes to destruction, don’t bet against the Bad Man from Khand… <grin>

K’mon Keith of Khand, Everyone knows objects in the rear view mirror always appear larger than what they really are 
Like roadkill in a semi trailer… won’t even feel the bump

So… a mass burial for 1400HI, and just 4 graves for 4 Easterling commanders :
Where’s Nighty, he should be braggin about killing off twice that at his doorstep… though more jsut turned up and hi scapital will never see teh light of day again…
Although 1400 is a lot, shows up as just under huge, it’s not mass to the freep and there will be no graves, just smouldering orc corpses… besides, you need the money we’re about to save you anyway (looking after you sometimes) 
Now, what would the DS knives be doing in backplay… either you deviously predicted that the easter would hit full reverse and land on that particular hex or are your killers hiding at backwater pops? 
No DS spokesman and allies, all you can do is watch from Mordor as the rest of the map lights up with the freep icon… coming to a campaign near you!
Killer Khand, burn baby burn, call the ‘B’ bluff out… I’m right behind you
Ditski
P.S. I do think that’s a lot of horsies for one enemy villiage btw.
1400 HI? Hmm, perhaps. At a distance, it looked more like a coating of HI covering a soft center of MA.
Not that it really matters…

No problem. Destroying villages is one of my favorite pastimes (along with flaying prisoners and drinking dark rum).

Overwhelm and devastate, brother.
- Keith of Khand
Hmm… u want an army with a soft chewy centre? Sounds like a line from a classic Aerosmith song…
So the FP attack another neutral… unprovoked… in the name of gunboat diplomacy
THanks guys… we would never had got the Duns thinking of joining us otherwise. But dont you feel that you have revealed your true colours? I know that if ever played a neutral in a game that you FP were in, I would not trust you an inch
Shame on you. And i mean it.
Hey Gixxx,
Where’s this private message that you publically stated you are sending… you to busy saving your nation to write?

Brother Khand, I am overwhelmed… but not as much as your enemies it appears
BaaBaaRox… a name almost as long as the enever ending story.
Speaking of Never ending stories… what do you want from me? You can’t have my resignation nor my head, you can’t convince the world what I’ve done (or organised) was pure evil because the ‘facts’ (sorry is that a swear word to you, I’ll cease using solid claims if you think it’s to harsh?).
The 'F’acts are written, known by both Duns/Freep and plans were supported by my team, by all means take it to the GM, others do. 
What you and others think (or dream up?) is irrelevant. However should you wish to continue this thread, again, I promise not to run away or hide behind any alias, I will promise to remain amused at your rumour mongering and square you with the realities of war turn by turn.
Clarification you seek?.. I admit globally on this forum to attacking neutrals when it suits me… (though I’ve yet to physically do it in this game or any other games I can remember or am aware of in the last 10+ years). You’d be able to provide some evidence I’ve done this… a game number, a nation number?
BBR, I confirm with you and the world, that I wouldn’t hesitate if my nation or that of an allies (Allies are the ones that are on your side) is threatened by a fence sitter ( a fact, not a derogatory remark), especially when there is no other DS nation for said Neutral to attack for around 20 hexes. Compared to… many freep nations, and many freep pops just one turns move. We’re also not a dumb bunch having used agents and Mage to confirm the facts, details in the G3 post mortem if you want proof?
To enlighten you BBR, then you may not wish to have this discussed on this forum anymore, due to sheer weight of facts supporting the freep decissions.
It’s turn 14 coming (thought you might have forgotten seen it’s been so quick for you : ) also, the Duns is the only Neutral left, also, I have no doubt somebody has been playing sweet music in his ear about how nasty the Freep are… well I hope you have considered the pizzling your coping before you offered any allegiences??? You did make a solid offer I assume as opposed to “join us we’re not as nasty as them”, on T13?
Now, some players might consider this a blessing for you? Some may say that Game balance is achieved if you get 3 neutrals to our 2? You’ve lost players and I’d hazard a guess that had we of got Rhu (who thought about joining us), leaving you with only (now demoralised) Corsairs, do you think G3 would be over by now? At least the GM is getting a win here hey? You also had the first 2 Neuts as well. I don’t know whether this is our generousity or your inability to recruit your own allies but try to be honest with yourself, even if you can’t with us… Maybe work on your diplomacy and gather soem juicy stuff if your seriously tryin gto smudge any of my futre games with this insitent recruiting of global neutrals to attack me in all games… Now I am really getting a laugh
Recap:
BBR says: " THanks guys… we would never had got the Duns thinking of joining us otherwise."
Freep say: " It would have been 14 to 11 but no thanks offered by you, we gave you 2 Neuts, the count now 13 to 12 it seems. See your actually winning something here"
BBR says: "But dont you feel that you have revealed your true colours? I know that if ever played a neutral in a game that you FP were in, I would not trust you an inch
Freep Dit says: "What inch? Your inch? Or one of my inches? I’ll keep that in mind for next time you’re a neutral and I’m one of the freep hey Would you like to take that comment off and see if I forget it ever happened or at least tell me what game and nation I should get into so you can scare me with threats?
BBR Cries: “Shame on you. And i mean it.”
Ditski and others think: "Oh I’m so deeply and irredeemably ashamed. There just has to be more peaceful ways to settle a wargame that doesn’t involve hurting anybody’s nation. Hang on, I’m feeling the girly inside me trying to get out. Quick let’s all hold hands and have an intervention, then we can all get naked and you can spank me with wet towels… Or I could just have another beer, a laugh with my mates, and then come and stamp on you for a bit.
It’s a wargame buddy. Check the over sensitive streak at the door champ. MEPBM is an omelette, and eggs do get broke. I prefer them to be your eggs as it happens and the record shows
There is nothing personal to it, I can still play games where you and your buddies will align to attack me… such is war! If cinsider that side of your argument, ther’ll be some undestanding perhaps? Please, Oh please give me your version BBR… it seems one of us is in posession of facts and the other is not but I give you your say.
One last thing to stew over… maybe the badly affected Duns would like to of explained things instead of second hand versions from my known enemy, instead of the world being suplied with dreamed up versions of his predicament, which he must take some ownership of?
He might/might not not feel as aggrieved as you do for him… (though it be uncomfortable having to make a decission?) seeing how the situation was explained to him, not you, and the choices were his, not yours or mine as to what game (and style) he wished to play. I respect his choices… don’t expect the same from you BBR, you simply just don’t understand the game or are listening to players that have something more to lose than Game 3… like personal glory?
Cheers,
Ditski
P.S. Fact - The only “Gunboat” I know of is the one that sunk the DS navies
My view is that you play the game i. by the rules and ii. by whatever personal ethos you have or dont have.
I am clear you arent breaking any rules. I am also clear on where your ethos and mine differ.
I’m not sure on your ethos but you certainly choose to avoid the facts for a chance to incite neutrals against me and others? Good luck with that and your ethical threats to attack me as a neutral in any future games.
As for game 3, I’m only too happy to of made you a new friend… and if he wants to say how hard done by he was, then the offer still remains to thrash out the facts… but at the end of the day, the Duns turned down an oportunity to win the game for the fight… I respect that.
We’ve cleared that up then 
Anyway, back to the game… how’s things. Interest rates are down I hope, with all those loans you been racking up?
Ditski
Facts… what facts… I didnt say I would attack you, just that I wouldnt trust you. Twist and spin in the wind…
NOW where is my friend Winsten? I prefer him so much…
I stand corrected. I completely stuffed that up and confused you with Nighty the Tiger who doesn’t trust me… or attack me either apparently?
Given the immense stress I been under parrying with you and Nighty… I’d trade my sword for the banana anyday
Ahh yes Winsten… now there’s a story, well, there’s at least a few players on your own team that could give you a rough (though not as rough as the pineapple Winsten got), idea on the Hairy Ape’s whereabouts, or more to the point his where’not’abouts.
Rumour has it, he is reading his favourite comic book (Lord of the Apes, book 1 - Return of the King Kong, just after he dispatched The Two Chimps, the Fellowship of the Gorillas, which all followed the original classic, The Babbit, which is a silly name for a book about his babboon cousin)
Apparently not only solitare with a banana can stop his pleasure, despite his anti social confinement.
Also rumoured, The ‘Peel one back’ Ape has almost done his time in the cage for revealing his bent fruit in front of some Local Forum Girls, insisting they looked better with their skirts pulled over their heads.
The story turns out, the girls were the illegitimate daughters of a well known Media Magnate, who took his case to the Highest Court… The Ape was sentenced to the Cage of Silence until he repents and refrains from beating chests at daughters of dignitries
A lot has been said for and against the Vocal Gorilla of Gaming and though the truth don’t count with the media anyway, he always makes for a great time it seems
Anyway, Thanks for asking, that was fun and a much better thread
Ditski
I read this 5 mins ago, and I am still laughing. In fact your post was… Winsten-esque
Yes he’s a great mentor… or mental… I dunno I ment something
Ditslexic
This is an outrage! The shenanigans of our pineapple-wielding, banana-peeling friend are enjoyed by forumites worldwide. Clearly, justice has not be served.
END THE TYRANNY! RELEASE THE APE! NO APE, NO PEACE!
Does this mean he can only play in the 3wk special games??
He should have shown his posterior portions, the legal penalty is greatly reduced, probably not have evn seen a cop:D Or if he’ed had a bigger d%$# they wouldn’t have called the cops. , just for a camera.
He could have claimed in court it was ‘cultural’ and a sign of respect in the apes of his colony. In this modern PC world, it would probably grow legs and run itself all the way to the highest court. Ended up with crates of beer and bananas in an out of court settlement over ‘cultural’ insensitivity. A poor young native ape, struggling to come to terms with this modern multicultural society.
