Gee, the DS seem to have gone awfully quiet.

Hey Cloud Lord, aren’t YOU supposed to be killing ME?
Gontran and Erennis taste like chicken, Corleone got smacked arround a bit too, no?
I love killing killers…
Mike Noldo
I thought this game was over? Isn’t it, like, 14 nations to 4 or something?
My, my, my how things have changed. Just last turn the FP cried “Woe is us, all the Neutrals have joined the DS! Foul! We’re going to quit, I want my mommie!” Now the tune has changed, the Noldo and their human slaves are bragging about how they “love killing killers.”
Let’s try some perspective, shall we? I’ll extrapulate, so try to follow…
Erennis and Gontarn died doing their jobs. My guys expect to die, that’s what they do. As long as you spend time worrying about them, chasing them, and killing them, Rhudaur lives. I have no problem with this. My guys had no special abilties, no lovely Agent trinkets that the game placed in the Noldo’s backyard, just what meager talents Sauron gave them. Granted, it wasn’t enough against the Noldo agents, and they died. Jeepers, whatever am I to do?
My guys are easily replaced, and replaced they shall be. How expendable will the Noldo agents be? When I finally catch up with them (and I will-just a matter of time really) then maybe I’ll have some trinkets too.
Grow some eyes in the back of your heads boys. My agents may be expendable, but they still will be avenged. There is honor amongst killers and thieves!

Corleone, if he takes any more wounds he will be doing a great impersonation of The Mummy. As for the whining I think you will find that the players who were cracking a sad over the neutrals no longer play on this team. They took their PC’s and went home, you only have the hard nuts left to deal with.

Hopefully we can get Corleone some much deserved R&R, and the stress therapy he needs. Then he’ll be back, good as new.
As for the “hard nuts”, good - trim the fat and dead weight, leave the fanatics to go down swigin’!. All the better to crack!

“If Corleone takes any more wounds he will be doing a great impersonation of the mummy?” OK, that’s really funny! (You know, his picture has a bandage… or is that a bandanna?) He’s counting his blessings for heal spells right now.

excerpt from the Tharbad Times
"You got to admire Corleone. He has tried to do his job several times and each time he gets caught and spanked. I mean this guy has been injured 3 of the last four turns and is still alive. And he is still trying to be an agent. Can’t blame him for trying though.
Maybe he should try another line of work, I hear body recovery business in Rhuadar is booming and their expecting this to spread north to Angmar."

Except for Corleone the clumsy, send him to clown school, it’s all he is good for.

So from the length of the Cloud Lord response and the detail in which he explained how his character’s deaths were really good for the DS, is it safe to assume that we’ve touched a nerve?
Mike Noldo
Cloudy’s just fine, he’s got more agents training up…
But meanwhile, Big Ed and Rhuboy are alive and well in Mirkwood, while LR and Dark Lieu continue to dance all over
Northman’s map. This is fun , freep ! Good to see you putting
a good fight instead of that whiny stuff from last turn.

Define “Alive and well” Looks to me like Rhu boy is twitching from the end of a bit of rope. Penmorva is about to be lost to him and his capital defences are paper thin. I hope you have lodgings for him elswhere.

I always thought the best way to win a war was to “Make the other bastard die for their country!” “General Patton WWII”
Let’s face Corleone is a clutz all round. First he cannot achieve his missions and then he fails to die nobly in the attempt. I picture something like the O.J Simpson scene where he tries to arrest the guys on the boat in the Naked Gun when I think of Corleone the clutz.

“That which does not kill me makes me stronger.” - Nietzsche
I’d like to believe that Arthedain/Cardolan/Noldo failed three times to kill a scrubby CL agent before he’s properly trained! So much attention paid to such a lowly character! We’'ll make sure to pass these comments on to him; it’ll cheer him up while he’s recuperating.

You now sound like the black knight in the Monty Python movie.
I guess you’ll gum us to death eventually.
1st - the black knight than 2nd Nietzsche and now 3rd the clown lord. Fools apparently come in 3’s.

Dragon, schmagon, they won’t be enough to save you. It just postpones the inevitable. Even with your wyrm your army was toasted and my commanders survived. My guys will be back shortly, you won’t always have the big lizards for help.
