Why hasn’t there been a thread for Game 79?
Let the taunting begin.
I shall taunt you Freeps in your general direction! 
Scavenger
Since no one has responded to my previous post I will submit one.
Regent Tarondor and poor Brand met their untimely ends at Minas Ithil. Who shall fall next to the Dark Servant assassins?
BTW, nice work at Morannon.
Scavenger
I am suprised from the silence.
Celdrahil,
You sure are lucky, you must have nine lives. But don’t worry, our long knives will skin the cat soon enough.
Elladan,
for every commander you kidnap, I will kidnap two. It seems like all you want to do is kidnap while I was being nice and just assassinating. I will do that no longer. Ji Indur is willing to play the kidnap 
game too. Mahrcared and Aluiric will be tormented just for Araudâgûl’s sake. I have my sights set on other kidnapees for I am sure that I can kidnap more characters than you can.
Scavenger
Sorry, the guys are quiet (Mark is the only one you’ll get to reply if you’re lucky - the others can just about turn up at a meet!) and I’m anxious that this will be jumped on… :o
Probably the game is yours IMO - the early mess up by a team-mate has basically swung it very much in your favour and we’re desperately catching up. Very good dragon play on your part btw.
Pretty sure you can get more than us on the agent front. :eek: but I doubt you can compete on the troop front… 
Clint (player)
Thanks for finally responding!
You are right about the number of troops we have been facing.
The number of heavy cavalry armies you have been fielding has been just short of amazing. We are thanking our massive reptile friends for being the great equalizer.
Scavenger
Elrond, (or whomever did it)
Thank you for hiding Carach Angren for us. We were puzzled by your action of hiding our camp but then again, you thought you were going to win that last army action didn’t you? Like I said in my last post, THANK SAURON for those gnarly reptilian freep army eaters! 
They sure have an appetite don’t they!
I guess it finally looks like we can have a knife fight at you know where. My knives are sharper and longer.
Ji Indur
Suprise! :eek: Poor Elladan was slower to the draw and his life has been removed from Middle-Earth forever. Who will be next?
Ji Indur
No real surprise - well at least the double has gone.
Can you count to 20? Interesting defence - not sure who’s going to pull this off. If we can then the game is ours (probably), if you can the game is yours (probably).
Any time you guys want to buy stuff on the market feel free to tell us…
Clint (player)
Clint,
It was a shame that poor Dudanis got sick and died before my agent could slit his throat. I wonder who else will just ‘up and die’ on us? 
Scavenger
You tell me… Zevious? Hardest turn logistically ever - so thanks for that gem…
Hopefully Barad Ungol falls this turn so that should be interesting and probably game defining.
5 Curses - isn’t that not the best number - something go wrong?
Clint (player)
Good turn boys?
Mark,
I have finally drawn you out of hiding! You know the saying," those that live by the dagger, DIE by the dagger."
Ji Indur shall be missed but, he has lots of company in the grave, amongst them Gildor, Elladan, Dudannis, Fujiko, etc(the ones I can name off the cuff)
Other than Ji Indur’s demise, the turn went about as expected. Nice job on the hostage rescues. I won’t make that mistake again.

Shame it wasn’t Zevious! :rolleyes:
About expected - that bad for you then?
Not sure how fast we can kill the camps that you are rushing to get sorted but we’ll see.
Clint (player)
Greetings Elrond and company,
I bid Welcome to the newest operating curse/sickness/weakness squad. That one took us by suprise. :eek:
How do you like my agents? I went 80% on my attempts this past turn. I am trying to get my “snuffing” average up to 100%. Maybe this turn I can do better.
Scavenger,
Head Scribe for the Late Ji Indur
Losing any more capitals this turn?
Clint (player) :eek:
Clint,
With 20,000 freep troops in and around Mordor that’s a stupid question! :o
It sure looks like it to me. So what If have no arms and no legs, I can still bite you to death!
Scavenger
Um - looks like you haven’t seen all the turns yet - only 20k… There were 20k at Barad Ungol a couple of turns ago and there’s more now. Doesn’t matter what happens - 20k troops on BU and I’m a happy bunny.
Clint (player)
Hey Clint,
Can you believe it? I always wanted to kill Elrond, and we finally got our chance last turn! I can’t wait to put you guys out of your misery so we can swap turns at the end of this game so I can read about his demise. I know cursing isn’t as sexy as assinations but we will take what we can get, and boy have you guys been delivering it to us! :eek: My assassins are starting to get into the swing of it and I am racking up a nice kill total.
Scavenger,
Head Scribe and Toady of the late Ji Indur
Clint,
No respnse about the death of Elrond? How about the death of one of the twins? :rolleyes: I can’t wait to see what suprises you have in store for us this turn. So far, this game has been VERY interesting and extremely lively.
Scavenger,
Head Toady of the late Ji Indur
He’s just an elf - down a couple of pointy ears. As you say interesting game. If only we had the Corsairs this game would be so done and dusted. As it is I reckon it’s 55/45 in our favour at present.
So how many agent kills did you get - I think it was net 2 in your favour…
