Game 35 is up and running

We DS are really scared of you I DONT THINK SO.
SO CARRY ON! You have yet to take a settlement in MORDOR

ACTIONS will SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

I would hope you are not scared of me as your worries lie a bit closer to home.

3124 still ours and 2 ice king camps gone(they count as Mordor by the way?)

In order that I can reply what do you class as in Mordor?

WK smashed, Dragon Lord not looking so hot and its only turn 2

You know we wont be defending so feel free to come out and let us play with you.

Fireking not woried at all?
Doglord not worried at all?
Ice King not worried at all?

Brave if you are I still worry and I am a long way from harm

Oh go on hit me with all the nasty things you are going to do.

You know we are tracking din and ji and so feel free to not refuse is all I will say

Vandal

I an track any nasties you care to offer with 930 - QA doubles Scouting

Stop that you two we need some space to work

Bruce: I am in game 9 too but on the other side I can confirm that you have been spotted for our agents to steal from;)

Now let’s resume our normal programation

Why don’t you give up Darkies we are going to take both gates next turn. Wk is in deep trouble and Draglo is under a lot of pressure:p

Tarondor of NG

And now, back to the game ( I hope).

Enough putrid slinging, boys - the number of posts on this thread doubled since last Friday, and none were worth it to the majority of players.

Wessex Slayer, my man - get some ear muffs, some sleep, and some game !

Don Paddro of Rhudaur

If the think the Gates can be opened by you worthless humans and pointy elves, well have a go if you think your hard enough!

Whoa! Something has happened here since my last check!

Will just add; feel free to track Ji, a refuse wont save you guys though! ;o)

Claus

QA the gates are wide open for us now but I must stand correct I look around and I don’t see the pointy ears yet, maybe you know something I don’t:confused:

We don’t need to track Ji somebody told us where he was
:rolleyes:

Tarondor of NG

I am sure those pointy ears are lurking somewhere nearby, they are whily crafty coyotes types. Maybe not armies, but I am sure they are lurking, Aduphanel the Nazgul senses it !‘BE MINDFUL’
I sense a disturbance in the force

Our orcs have been starving all winter and are looking for their regular happy meals, and look you are providing fresh meat, how kind of you.

But Ji you just have to die, it rhymes so I like it.

Vandal

Fresh Meat, orksis looking forward to elves on the spit. You know what they say about an elf, cook til crispy.

235 gone quiet vandal.

Have I ever put a note in game 235?

No and nor will I.

Catch me if you can is all I will say, but hey who says I am not looking for you?

Vandal

I emailed the team to talk ‘turkey’ so to speak. after looking at the situation in the game

With non starters within the FK and Doglord - that gave the free the upper hand from turn 1
I also think it is extremely dodgy Rhudaur turned free within 2 turns. Hardly much time for diplomacy what ever rhudaur may say. I recall playing rhudaur myself and did not turn until 8 I recall. and joined the ds who were up against it for a challenge.

If neutrals such as corsairs and harad say they have not received diplos from free then they are talking rubbish. but i have said to them to decide now whether to go free or ds.

And basically said if all neutrals are planning to sit on the fence or decided to go free there is little point continuing and this game will be a waste of money and effort all round, if they are going to draw it out before going free.

This will be an open letter in forum as well for game 35.

I will be seeking a vote from the DS, if the consensus is that the neutrals intend to go free. There is little point continuing.

I wish to go on record and state that the Rhudair has not done anything wrong and postioned himself turn 1 so he still had options both ways.

The WK chose the worst options I have ever played against with the net result he had no defense on his front line pop centres and out all cav attack cut him off from defending them.

He then chose to not defend 2006 with the net result it is toast, went up 2004, ignored it and then came down leaving the dwarven army intact.

Now his not daft and he could see the writing on the wall and thus his possible moves to go dark where never an option.

Now you have the cheek to blame your temas bad play on him and even worse, I say you should retract this slander and give the man an apology.

Now some nuetrals I know talk about going dark but it is not for me to make them go good or dark only talk to them and seek to give them that which they seek.

Now where Bruce is the man who is going to kick my butt, dont wimp out on me I wont let you forget this.

Stay in and fight like a man

Mind you if this is what I get after 3 turns then perhaps we do need another game.

To all other dark servant I hope it was interesting and fun if nothing else.

Bruce I would just like to say have you not heard of a shadow turn? What are good experienced players there for?

Vandal

Since you dont know the full disposition of DS positions. Shadow turns are normally at very short notice with little time to plan. Shadow turns only happen if the players of the no shows tell you they are not going to play

All I am saying it will be little point continuing if all neutrals intend to either sit on the fence and then go free or go free immediately.

Its EXTREMLY unusual for a neutral to choose within 2 turns. All i am saying its VERY UNUSUAL.

As I said I know the dispositions so I am calling for a vote from DS. I vote NO to carry on, but i will accept the consensus.

As you know Vandal I am the QA, its no good carrying on my own, when the NW is lost, MOrdor is about to be crunched

Just exactly what do you expect an emissary based nation to do exactly on turn 3!

Yes the WK is gone, turn 3 and its a MT, town and village lost, with his capital to fall this go.

His days are very numbered as is the case with the Dragon Lord who is next on the list.

3124 is now beyond you and we are deep in Mordor already.

But hey I told you what to expect when you get me kill mode.

Did you learn nothing from game 9, I dont take prisoners.

Now you doubted me but hell those moves at the start worked very well and given we have as many new guys as you, who do you think drove our side?

However they now play their own game and seem to be happy but that comes from knowing you are on top.

If you are going to drop please make it formal so we can move on, otherwise it all gets very messy.

You know few respect a team who say help me or we drop, its best to drop.

Not so at all.

Actually its not your skill Vandal, but the fact 2 main ppsitions
Doglord and FK were non starters has helped your way through

The only reason why u have smashed WK is because Rhudaur change sides so quickly.

and I dont want to hear from neutrals they did get diplos - UTTER UTTER RUBBISH.

By the way Vandal - I am happy in my area, but if Mordor isbeing smashed because Doglord and FK did not start, then is a false glory you are claiming.

I will abide the decision of the rest of the team

Vandal, I know u dont want to talk 235, but in that case, despite the fact
I am continuing there despite the situation of the qa, after taking a standby position where Free were already at the gates of backup and capital. NOrmaly a killer for Qa in 235
