Game 3 starts

We must have a case of “I thought HE was doing it…!” going on here.

I recieve nothing from the WK. I receive nothing from the Noldo. So I get all huffy and demand only the Lady and the Voice communicate, them being reasonable “representatives” of their allegiances in a Middle Earth world. The Lady I’d been in communication with previously…sends nothing. The Voice posts here 2 times since then…sends nothing.

Now I get a Private Message from a FP, who had not communicated, asking “Is it true that you’re already DS?”

You guys are all totally out to lunch.

Arfanhil the NEUTRAL

Quotin’ da DS

DragonLord here. Look foraward to working with you. I’m sure me and my teammates can come up with an arrangement that would please you.

*Yeah make it a floral arrangement… shows how you really care. Oh stop it I’m getting misty eyed… no hang on, it’s my pressure release. Rob of the freep here, ready to chastise those naughty Nazgul types most ungently. Here comes da spankin’ :slight_smile:

Cheers and good luck to the players of game 3. Hope it’s fun for all (even the DS who will get their wings pulled off :slight_smile:

Cheers

Rob

*He’s not weird, he just wears unfeasibly tight pants. You lot however are named after Sauron’s body parts. Okay so we’re pretty clear on who’s the mouth, what are the rest of ye? :slight_smile:

*Who’s the lady? Who is the voice? Is it the fat lady, and is she singin’? I don’t know about the Rhudaur, but I hear everybody with exceptional looks and dress sense declared for the freep. Hang on that’s me! Oooh pinch me :slight_smile:

*Just giving the pond a stir to see if you DS types are ready to crawl up onto the shore yet :smiley: ha ha ha ha, I think I’ve just amused myself :slight_smile:

Rob - Protector of those who wear thick glasses and all round good guy…

PS if you’re after specific freep, most of them are not on this forum, sooooo… pretty much I’m going to make enough noise for the rest of them put together :slight_smile:

First to reply… first one hit in game :)[/QUOTE]

Who are you… you freek hiding behind a bag!!!

What nation do you claim to rule?

I’m coming to give you a spanking… well not if you’re Arthedain because you’re too far away :slight_smile:

Pants? What pants? Oh wait, that is House Elves from that Muggles book who don’t wear clothes. If you re-read our books you’ll see that we wear jerkins and tights. And the tights do ride up, ya know…

Joseph - Noldo

Can someone explain the Free Peoples army movements towards my homeland?

Thanks,

Arfanhil

*ooooh colour me lucky. Not even turn 3 and Hurzarfrilled has asked me for a li’l dancin’ :slight_smile: And I aint hidin’ in the bag, it’s to stop me hyperventilating under her delicate aroma…

*I’m sure you’ll work out who we all are sooner or later (a helpful hint, we’re the freep :-).

*Until then

QUOTE=VEOCan someone explain the Free Peoples army movements towards my homeland?

*It’s okay Brad. Due to team circumstances (which I wont enlarge upon here), I can absolutely guarantee that there are no designs on your real estate. Freep armies are close to you merely through the unhappy chance of having the WK lodged like a carbuncle on your flank. To avoid the hexes adjacent to your lands is unfeasible given the narrow corridor of good movement hexes, it really hands a major advantage to the WK if we were to arrange this, and also there’s the prohibitive cost of maintenance etc. It’s just a case really of waving them on their way as the freep march by.

Cheers

Thanks,

No Free armies are vectoring toward your nations – they are all headed with their ski gear for some slope time in the mountains of your northern neighbor.

Noldo

Geez the DS have gone quiet. What’s happened to mumbles the mouth? I can see his lips flappin’ but can’t hear what he’s sayin’ :slight_smile: I suppose we the freep had better be civil before we pull all of your wings off, we’re accepting honourable surrenders for this week only. But after that, discipline will be heavy handed…

Rob - ee’s eezy werth tay in de boosh!

DS gone quiet? Everyone’s gone quiet. :rolleyes:

At least the news of the turn is: New WK player and a new Cardolani player…and they communicate as well as the last guys. :confused: Gonna be a long, cold winter up here I think…:frowning:

Aha ! I see heralds are tootling again.

Akhorahil salutes the bravery of the Eothraim for abandoning their children and womenfolk to the mercy of the Doglord. I wouldnt bother coming back home - you are going to be toast.

Akhorahil salutes the wisdom of the Northmen for abandoning their children and sheep-folk to the Long Rider. I wouldnt bother coming back home either.

Lastly, Akhorahil salutes the wisdom of the character generation code, which has produced more stealthly agents, multiclasses and >30 emmies that we had any right to expect. Code, we love you.

FP advise they’re going to cake-walk into Mordor and win this game in less than 10 turns…I guess it’s their excuse for not talking… Now the DS say all is better than well, far from under pressure, they’re positioned to wreck havoc on exposed FP… Oh, for a slice of Truth amongst the Spin…

*:slight_smile: has the Dog bothered to sniff out where the Eothraim actually is? I’m sure that’s why he’s not the one making all the noise :slight_smile:

*They all look the same when they’re stuck on the bottom of your boots :slight_smile: Maybe the code thinks you need it :slight_smile:

Fair cheers your heart :slight_smile:

Rob - cos it’s better to be Rob’d than Roger’d

RHU… You want truth… Can you handle truth…

Well, Eot, Nor, NGo and SGo seem to have gone for a Hail Mary… all troops to all available passes asap, forget defence.

DS did some crazy opening moves, which… on reflection actually put us in a reasonable position to repel most of these FP moves…
When I say most… tha’s because we decided that rather than neutralise all armies… we would take a few pop centres instead and expand our territory into Eoplex and Rhovanion.

What will be the outcome… who knows… we’ll see who boasts loudest come the results…

However, you, having played RHU for many games, know full well that staying neutral in the north is as good as saying you are leaning towards the FP.

I reckon, though I can’t speak for the FP, that many people that play the game now don’t have massive amounts of spare time to woo neutrals. I know you have had a lot of emails from DS, just not inundation. Plump for the team that you feel least put off by and have some fun. Hopefully that’s the DS… wait too long and the decision won’t be yours to make.

Eeekkk… and that’s not a threat :slight_smile:

You want to see all pdfs and xmls and get involved in decision making, discussions, arguements etc etc etc… join DS. we offer thrills and excitement, enough to make you pee your pants… well not really unless you have a weak bladder.

VEO… can you really see yourself allied with someone calling himself Winsten Wun Toof and hidden behind paper bag?

Or even Dr Joseph… looks too old fashioned to listen to new ideas.

Just look at BaaBaaRox… doesn’t he look evil enough to want to befriend… I know I’d rather be on his side than against him.

Yes, I know this is the common opinion. I’m not common and as a NEUTRAL, I’m keeping my opinion to myself this time round. And that’s uncommon for me…so stand the intel on it’s head and shake it for the nickel it’s worth.

Arfanbrad awaiting the Invasion

Hey FP… bit quite since the turns came back… Didn’t you get to blast your way past our mordor defences??? Or do you think you did…

In hindsight, does leaving NOTHING to defend Eot and Nor not worry you a little?
