Sounds interesting Paul!
… taken a look on your results?
Who will finish whom?
Gixxx
Your talking about me?
Looking on your ideas you’ve had before we started the game:
… let’s say it was pretty easy to get OZ and Ithil back from the DS!
Like expected!
Have Fun!

The key is that you are taking back things that you lost many turns ago. Not much taking of things that you already lost. I hear that you lost one army at Minas Ithil and the other one was pretty badly chewed up.
I haven’t bothered to respond to all the posts that Frank has made. I will agree that you guys are playing your best game of all the ones we have played against the teams that you have fielded Gixx, good job on this one. We made the mistake of playing your teams too many times. I believe the training we have given you is showing in this game.
I am not throwing in the towel but will admit that this is by far the most difficult game we have played to date. Frank obviously knows more than I do, but I sure don’t see the writing on the wall just yet.

Oh can you feel the love from this lonesome chap, sharing it, spreading it as the tick of the tock did infact stop. Oh feel the pain, feel the pain, you know with me its not going to stop. Well its going to be an interesting next turn now wont it
Oh I have said all along the game is yet to be won or lost, but we are winning at the moment and its our game to lose always when you have the edge. Or yours to take back with great play but then it would be foolish of us to let you.
But I need no training, I hardly played the last game and I take no notice of what you did, only that which I wish to do.
I feel it though, this is that crunch time where the fate of man is to be decided.
This game will be decided on the merit of those who played the game and not past history, for I we have used some tactics not seen for many a moon.
To the victor goes the spoils and lets see who writes the history on this one.
I am ok talking to myself by the way so its not a problem leaving me alone on here.
I have probably 2 areas of criticism for your team and will keep one of those to myself.
The other is that I don’t think you have developed your characters very well, especially agents. Should you lose the lucky artifact advantage you were handed, I think you will lose this game.
Otherwise, you have done decently…pretty much as expected in the military arenas for this stage of the game.
The interesting thing is, that we haven’t used the toys so far.
Looking on our agents, at min I’m happy with them.-
Looking on the other chars, hmmm what about yours?
Gixxx
Bradden of Rhu, I guess?
Bradden, I was in command of the last game (game 82) the other game I was only a player.
Last game I’ve had to play many positions, because many players dropped.
This game we have tough team!
… as you can see!
Gixxx
IK, I guess?!
Corsairs are close to you!
…
Gixxx
Baah!
DrLo is defineteltevly out of the game!
… and some of your nations will follow this turn!-
Duns, as expected!
You weren’t able to hurt them!
Gixxx
Now now we all know the Dragon Lord is dead and he knows it was me that did for him, lets leave him in peace as once they are gone they cannot defend themselves and it not the right thing to taunt those not in the game. We are after all the good side! Maybe.
Now its plain to see the dark side went a certain way and we went another but dont think I am going to talk about our characters or what we have been doing with them. That you will have to find out the hard way.
As regards the artifacts, well we got what we got and as its been said did we ever use them? Perhaps you can ask yourself why but I a at a loss as to understand why you think we have not developed our characters. If you really think so carry on thinking so is all I can say.
Now its never wise to play a master at his own game and did we play with the duns turn? Not a jot. But the question I ask is did you play with the Rhu turn? It seems you did to me as its fallen pretty much perfectly for us.
1910 is gone, you know it and I know it, we stole all that yummy gold again and our agents and emmies are on the rhu and where are you?
I am sure you have seen us poor all that timber into 2007, and the number or armies around the rhu cap, well lets see if you can stop it?
Well the WK you know whats going down dont you, you have it or you dont, lets find out. Thgis is just the first phase can you see the second?
Harad what can one say your toasty and you know it can block the lot?
Its dragon or bust for you, indeed you know what you are facing, well almost can even one dragon save you?
Now with no dragon lord and can you see what awaits around the eo for you and it seems to me you have shot that bolt and I will simple take it all back.
Harad mangled and a shell, Rhu also and the WK to follow. Indeed yes we are taking it all back all those pop centres you captured early on. Do you really want to tell me that you expected all this?
If thats the case you play a strange game indeed.
Of course its been easy to have a go at some nations as things have not gone well, but I would not like to take the fun a bit further and tar the team, as its beyond the game and some of you have played quite well indeed.
I mean your Cl well his agents must be drunk, or upset his own god, whilst one or two others just seem to roll on non stop and are a bit of a pain.
I am pretty sure if we was killing all my characters each go he would give me a hard time and I would have to just take it. But come on trying to do a hidden pop centre man you are asking for trouble. If he could not do a eo army comm what does one expect?
We have no control over arties or dragons and played the hand we had, if we win I say it was good play with some luck, but we made our own luck in some cases, give you food for thought?
To the victor goes the spoils and I see desperation in play, just my view, if I am wrong take advantage of my misconceptions, we will with yours!
Talking apples and oranges here… i simply Implied i didn’t fit in becuase I don’t like giving something away and having to take it back… I leave scortched earth policy to nations who are weaker military wise not the stronger!.. So admist that debate untited the Circle under your plan before turn 1…
My ideas on NG are being fulfilled in another grudge game… My interest in this one comes as pure spectator!
Well the dark side named a camp in your honour so we thought we should take it off them! I have named a camp not losing in answer to the question.
Hi Frank,
the PCs the dark-side were able to take were scheduled (wasn’t so many).
… so let’s concentrate on breaking their neck this turn.
Have Fun!
Gixxx
Yeah, I’m happy.
Also, yes, I’m the IK (wasn’t a big secret as I told Tim before the game even started) 
Definitely enjoying the game and I agree with the other posters assessments that the next couple turns could indeed be decisive.
Excellent game so far everyone, well done. 
Hi there Darrell,
we’ve met a special dragon coming up with an IK-army, you’ve mentioned it in an earlier posting.
Tim hasn’t told us a single word!-
At the moment I’m a bit disappointed because I fear that his game might end soon.-
Looking on your agents: I hope Gontram and Taxman are in our preferred condition?
Have Fun!
Gixxx
Well no wonder if you are the IK you are happy, I would be to, but have no fear Gixxer the dark side wont throw in the towel!
Indeed Tim did not say a word, do we go beat him, or do we really care? Me I dont care as it might stop me playing how I want, so lets let him off?
Oh well more meat to the grindstone.
I hope so!
… but with 4 nations down?
Okay it will depend on the nations left and their constitution.
Up to now we only killed the Drag.
In the case wonders occurs, some DS will need one.
Have Fun!
Gixxx
4 nations down
4 nations down
How can you play
With 4 nations down?
You can play in the town.
Or play in her gown,
Or rhyme a new noun
With 4 nations down…?
Clown.
Heey man,
you’re white, that’s no Rap.
Have Fun!
