Game 36

Talking of bringing down a city / citadel - what happened at 2924 this turn?

When Gondor is more Mordor than FP haven, the writing is on the wall Scott… are the pips squeaking yet?

Thanks for the cash too !

Nice move on 3626 - but dont think you will get away with it for long…

Seems like we’re trading, North Gondor for Mordor, a tit-for-tat kinda thing. Rest assured, the nation of NG has plenty more pop centers, but do the BS?

King Schitzo

Close,

So close…

So close to the next turn results and to being on the second page, one good the other bad. For me, the next turn results is going to be good and going onto the second page in this forum is bad–for you bad guys, it’s the opposite.

King Schitzo

Obermal for Pelargir, ok, another trade. Pretty soon I’ll own all Mordor.

Forums are pretty quiet, is everyone sleeping? I know I have been, but I’m slowly waking up from my winter hibernation, then watch out!!!

King Schitzo

Wednesday’s coming, what will the cards hold? Stay tuned to find out.

The blonde is back! MUCH better!

Yes, the blonde is back. She was away for some, shall we say, “enhancements”. Too bad the bubbles are covering the enhancements. Don’t think that she’s going to take it easy on you, because she’s not :smiley: . Even though she’s good to look at, she’s one ruthless bitch.

King Schitzo

:eek:
On the second page, I’m appalled!

Speaking of appalled, the Free had a rotten turn.

BUT, it’s not over yet. :wink:

King Schitzo

Scott my friend, I think we are starting to spank you. You have pulled some clever moves on us over the last 20-something turns, but I think we just have too many good characters for you now.

Still, carrying on fighting - I am enjoying every minute :slight_smile:

I never quit unless the whole team wants to, and by god, most of the team wants to take it to you again, and again, and again…

King Schitzo :smiley:

:eek:

Scott,

The rumor around the DS campfire is that your throwing in the towel? Say it ain’t so, Scott, say it ain’t so!

Actually good riddance, and more importantly good game! You played on much longer that I thought you would. We’ve been (actually the CL has) been pulverizing you since at least turn 12 or so. You have immense intestinal fortitude to take that turn after and turn, stand back up, brush yourself off, and say proudly: “Please sir, I want some more!”

Are you going to try the meglomaniac-thing again and play another whole side, or is back to the pedestrian one nation biz? Inquiring minds need to know!

Khamul,
AKA Chris Guerra
Game 36

Scott, thanks for a cracking game

About t6 or t7 we really felt on the ropes. You almost got through to the soft underbelly of Mordor - from memory we took some lucky guesses more than once to keep you off our undefended towns. I did get the feel though that you had pushed all-out through 3124 at the expense of the 2nd (or 3rd wave) and once we finally got dragons and agents firing, we clawed our way back into it.

Standout moments for me (timings approx!):

  • taking the Corsairs capital on t5 with the glorious CL and QA
  • the assassination of Elrond t8 and John’s writeup on this forum
  • realising that you had stacked all the command artefacts on Glorfindel and were dragon hunting
  • killing Glorfindel and having Tormog as a rank 120 commander
  • getting onto 2135 with 6000HI, only to realise that you had got bloody Throkmaw there
  • stopping 2 armies from getting onto 3621, and when the 3rd one got there, I had a dragon :slight_smile:

Plus many more.

You really did keep coming at us in a way I didnt think you would be able to for the last few turns. I know you lost Nmen - which other nations did you lose? How did you keep in NG for so long? We lost Rhu to a slip up around t14. Hmm.

Cheers again

Schitzophrenia is a horrible and deliberating disease. We, the caring Nazgul of Barad Dur, all did what we could to help cure you of those nasty multiple personalites.

It was true, most of the starting kings were dead, but I play a nation, not a character so it doesn’t bother me to lose a nations king. As for what nations I lost, just the Northmen on turn 22, I didn’t get the pc trans order done the turn before, or they would of still been in.

I really thought that I had ya’ll on the ropes around turn 10 or so, but as ya’ll said, a few breaks went against me and then the incredible run of dragons. Once they started showing up in just about every army I saw, I knew that it was either get rid of a few of them or lose quickly–thus Glorfindel the dragon killer. Too bad he got knocked off looking for em, was that planned? Did ya’ll know Glorfindel was a dragon killer before you assassinated him?

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this game (even though it was a uphill battle for the last half of it).

Again, I want to congratulate ya’ll on a well played game.

Scott
(not so schitzo now)

P.S. I’ll probably be looking to play another side in a few months (I just bought a new house and money’s tight right now (also, the wife decided she wanted some money too, damn)).

Yeah Scott I knew what Glorf was up to. We located the Dwarven Ring of Power around t12, and then another of the big command artefacts - and once we knew both of those were on Glorfindel it wasnt too hard to guess. The first time we located you, you were on 2809 so Tormog went to hang out there, and I got lucky almost straight away.

Cheers

Well, if ya’ll want any PDF’s, let me know which ones and I’ll zip them and send them out to where ever you want. I wouldn’t say all of them as they will be huge and it won’t go through most email servers.
