The Free have BMI readings double the DS and don’t know how to cook with garlic.
Don’t know Brad , Do like garlic an alful lot – just now had pizza and loaded it out with garlic 
Come to think of it, so will the FP yahoogroup… 
Well any yahoogroup without me will certainly be more peaceful! To some silence is alot more fun! 
You may not find our women-folk very compliant, even if you can tell them apart. Anyway, you’re not tough enough to take any dwarven concubines. Or pretty enough.
The Dwarves would like to thank our Dragon Lord for his kind services to the Dwarven economy. Nice mines at GG.
news , news , news – both sides are very quiet on the news this turn – 5 days till turns due and haven’t really gotten a sit-rep from either side – news , news , news – other neutrals get theres yet – lonely and forgotten Corsairs is starving for news – did hear from the evils about Rhudaur armies crawling all over WK - news , news , news is what I DEMAND

I burned an SG town. Gondor has a pile in the Ithil. Northmen fighting LR and now BS forces. FP likely in desperate recovery/defense mode in the Eoplex…funny… GG down, FP heading towards Dol G, Gundabad going down, Gaerdae caught Dragon Lord at 2309. North Gate expectantly cleared, while DarkLoo still survives in the back of NG, 2220 falling this turn and 2121 looking plum.
FP activity looks focused on coordinating with Rhuduar and the Gondor’s piling into Ithil. Unfortunately, with no pressure on the North Gate, this won’t have the impact they desire.
Characters are getting maxed, economies are being handled, camps getting laid (harumph! where’s your mind…???) and agents getting trained. Nothing spectacular - no reveal and burn in Lorien, no blind challenges of Bain. Everything ticking along.
Now, back to you Angamaite - where do you want to land first? Southern Gondor? Pelargir? Cardolan? Just say the word and I’ll provide all the advance intel required. Vamag? You already have the advance intel… 
But you’re a Man’s Man - why pick on little olde me? Heck, I’m just a lady…

So here we are 10 vs 10 with four neutrals. Very surprised that not more is being said. How do the other neutrals feel? I wonder:rolleyes:
Already stated – want news, news and more news – agree it is awful quiet out there – Hmm – quiet before the storm comes to mind – scramble all Corsairs ships for blockade comes to mind also !!

More news you want? Fine! Got my merit increase this year, Emily’s composing music and reading to her little sister. A piece of flashing blew off the roof at work and slashed the drivers side of my SX 2.0, $1000 worth of work. I’ll likely be playing summer hockey in Burlington with my brother and with any luck the guy who got me into this game will hook us up with tickets in Ottawa: Penguins, Leafs, or Canadians. Really, as for Game 80, there’s nothing more the DS can tell you besides “The FP are stupid and lazy and we were planning on killing them all slowly except they’re dropping like flies before we can get to them…”.

Well, this neutral is feeling rather neutral at the moment. With Arfanhil switching allegiance this early, it is difficult to gauge where my master, Enion the Wonderous, will end up.
So sayeth,

I’ll do my best to avoid the “pretty enough” bit lest I offend our more liberal readers… Yet I do take umbrage at the “tough enough”. Of course, if they won’t follow their instructions with the docile countenance we’re accustomed to, well, we’ll just have to kill them all then, won’t we?

Aaron of Dunland,
Sauron cannot promise national security to the people of Dunland. He can promise power and glory to Enion.
Sauron cannot promise unfettered financial growth (see above…) but he can promise riches beyond your master’s wildest dreams through eternity.
Saurons graces are not unconditional. We are not children seeking esteem. We are warriors, fighting the End War against our oldest enemy. The Blood of Elves and their Lackeys is the price one must pay to earn Saurons promises. Sauron’s promises are for Enion and his closest to reign over vast kingdoms of Men once the Elves and vile Dwarfs are exterminated. The Age of Man is at hand. The question is: Does Enion merit inclusion?

Aaron of Dunland,
Do not let the sweet sibilant crooning of the elves sway you to their cause. They smell bad and they look funny. Our orc women on the hand look mighty fine when you drink lots of grog. Please note that the more grog drunk, the better they look!

LOL – Don’t think there is enough Grog in all of Middle Earth that could get me to even think about Orc Women (shiver) – Put the Orc women at the front of the battle lines :0 – problem solved 
So another turn and more pops burn. I see by the turn reports and shared intel that the dark have staked out a recruit base behind North Gondor. That is interesting with the Witch-King not quite dead yet. Dunlend the pressure mounts and your nation becomes ever more inportant to game balance.
Mirkwood is still a battlefield and how will the dark take advantage of the Eoplex fiasco? Northmen are being very hard pressed. However the Free are sending insane numbers of troops through the Western Gates. Will the wieght of numbers cause the gates to come crashing down? Will the battle of attrition favor the free or the dark? Ovatha sits and ponders by his warm fires knowing that the chilling winds of war and battles ahead will be then only fate he will know soon…
The Dark take advantage of the Eoplex disaster? If he wasn’t so scared of us, he wouldn’t have died in such a panicky pool of desperation. 1 down, 10 more to go. Taking the last MT isn’t the only way to eliminate the enemy. There are many levels to this game, might some have been overlooked by the insular free?

Lmao… Brad your so funny… I not scared of any nation side or team! It was a power move only i forgot how to count it… But pat yourself on the back if you like… believe I was terrified of your team if that makes you feel better… The simple fact was I had you and your team setup to take serious damage…
Making it official ,
The Corsairs believes he will get a better, Enjoyable and more challenging game by joining Saurons Servants – With the Rhudaur going free they should have the NW secured in no time and be on mordor’s border making for a very interesting game , so Free Lackeys of ME – notice is served – Corsairs chooses Evil
Good gaming to all
By challenging, Mike is testing his patience with imbeciles and morons. If Terry stayed alive, he might have joined the Free, but alas, Brad, Wade and John are more than enough to runneth over the cup of frustration in Saurons World…
