Hi Bettina,
I haven’t done very much so far.
… but I’ll try!-
Hard threats here, but I was able to live a very “sportive” way the last weeks.
… and lalcohol wasn’t an option.
Have Fun!

Gixxx. Rob has it right. The DS in Game 82 have LOST. Every turn from now is a waste of our money. Please identify your teammates so we know who the idiots who are flushing our money down the toilet are. And then drop yourself, so you’re not one of “them”…
Thanks,
Brad
Hi Brad. I didn’t say the game is over for the DS, what I did say was that some of them wasted my ten turns effort in the far east (and other efforts) right at the punch line. They could have wiped you out and brought themselves right back into the game but made some … oh what’s the word I’m looking for to describe the decisions? 
They’re at turn 10, they have emmies that can raise new MT’s now, they can still make it annoying digging your way into Mordor, and Mordor’s not the totality of what they can own. Their agents are rising, and that pool will deepen quickly. They’re moving into their strength. I’m just avoiding the antagonism of dealing with allies who seem to be hell bent on annoying the stink out of me… Whether they’ll choose to use those advantages though is another matter entirely 
Well, I was just trying to annoy the stink out of them… 
We like new MT’s - they’ll be running out of them in Mordor, so this way we’ll get to travel more widely than usual. Grind into Dust, if necessary, I says.
Well they might decide they’d like to hurt you yet too Brad
I’ve been ready since the Elder days. Bring it boyz.

They might also choose humour over war as well. Just wait for the next gripping instalment - hee hee!
Well, it seems that the LR and Dark Loo POPPED themselves and the remaining DS decided to concede. 11 turns have run and the FP are rampant in Mordor. Rhu is gone, WK about gone, Duns under pressure, no real threat to the FP.
The Harad wasn’t played at start, so Corsairs and Easterlings forged an alliance to defeat them. Letting the 12 vs 10 war play out, they took the south and invade the north bank of the Harad. The 12 vs 10 played out with the 10 gaining the upper hand everywhere.
If Corsairs/Easterlings decided to go DS it would have “prolonged the game”. They apparently chose to put the boot to the head that was locked down and pesto-festo - game over.
Kind of a shame, but a well deserved victory to the FP. Kudos go out to the Nawlin’s crew for their assault on Mordor, Grazebrook for the downfall of Rhu/WK, and Tine for surviving the whole game as NorthWoman without an Eothraim ally.

Well done and congratulations to the Freep! Turn 2 is running tonight on G91 Brad, the enemy’s surrender is imminent I suspect. You got your team together yet?
I ask people their favorite beer and they get back to me in 20 minutes, I ask 100 people to join my team and…cricket…
Ah well. Shame to waste a good game and all. It’ll take us a little while to finish the one we’ve started. I’ll ask again when that’s done. Cheerio
