as for the pushing of the neutrals. no doubt you did that to rhudaur ie - the Wk has no chance you must join us now etc etc.
so likewise. if the neutrals in the south decide to sit on the fence for a few turns and then turn free, there is little point. Personally if I was harad or corsairs, I would consider all those EMPTY S gondor and Gondor pop centres as welcome targets. I have destroyed all my harbours so little point the corsairs going for me.
BUt heh thats just me. it appears the rest want to stay , so I will abide by their decision
I would like to make a few points and then stay away from this slinging match.
With regards the Neutrals saying they have recieved no communication from the DS… As far as I am aware non of us has said that… what we did say was the lack of communication at the game start…
The free were alot quicker at talking to us. I myself have soken to many members of the DS team, the problem was alot of the early dilpo time was lost and made the neutrals feel that the DS were disorganised, although subesequently diplos from the like of the LR, IK and even youself (until your recent emails to the remaining neutrals) etc have proved that you are not all like that.
As for turning free early, I have been in many games where people turn free within 1 to 3 turns, thats the art of diplomacy.
In another of my current games my team used diplomacy to get 2 neutrals onto our side, and one was going to go to the otherside, and that was by turn 3.
In an older game I have know neutrals to declare on turn1, as they were given an offer they could not refuse.
It is possible, everyone is different and will make their choices for different reasons.
Please stop implying we have hidden agendas because we don’t
Personally, I just can’t see what all this fuss is about simply because two players missed their first turn. Indeed, when I look at the moves of some dark servants, Ice King and Witch King, spring to mind, your position would have been much improved had more of your players missed their first turns!
Battle continues. This has been a kick in the arse for the DS especially for one absolutely plonker (ie me), but not all is lost. All Nazgul (that are still alive) are now fully onboard including the extremely bitchy QA
Let battle commence, no quarter given or expected.
I’ve being away a number of weeks now and I have just read this crap you have sent about the Neutrals. I like playing Neutral because it give me time to build up and if I want to go Ds or Free on turn two then that’s my choice not yours. I was talking to the DS and one of the Free also my friends the Haradwaith. I made a choice to go DS to even the game, but now I will stay Neutral and attack the QA for what he says about the Neutrals. I will not be going Free nor DS until he has left the Game. :mad:
Perhaps all the neutrals would like to turn free. DOdgy from the start. And I wont back down. You will have to take out every single character and mt I have in both positions before I drop out.
I will be informing all DS you are now fair game for agents and emissaries. You might as well turn free, as dont expect when QA is knocked out, that you will get any succour from the DS
