Well its been a few turns since anyone has spoken of the game
of 223 however i notice that a few of the freeps of 223 do manage to gloat about other games they are doing well in so i guess we DS should take this as a good omen.
I myself have been most restrained given that still i rampage unhindered. Maybe you can muster some sort of resistance in Mirkwood or will you give that up so easily as well.
Truely freeps your efforts to date have been pitifull and Northman
you have deserved your fate you are no warrior. Fight or surrender i cannot stand this appathy any more.
K.E. - bored rigid
Just wait untill after today’s turn. MWhahahhahahaha
I see the FP strategy clearly now, it consists of letting us beat on them without reply until we fall down and die of exhaustion.
Well this can not happen since we have a secret weapon and it has something to do with ‘giant steam powered parrots’, with an unknown (as yet) attack mechanism. You are in the sheet now!
Jeepers have I said too much?
Urzahil (not known as ‘the Mouth’ for nothing)
You’ve not made it far beyond Osgilliath sofar tho 
But you found my two secwet recruiting spots, no fair! And why did the Corsairs try 3 threatens before finally conquering the place?
Øystein
Well todays turn has been and gone and the best you can come
up with is ‘You havent got very far beyond Osgiliath’ good grief
im in shock. I always thought you freeps were supposed to try to get into Mordor but this tactic of staying well away from it and boring us to death is certainly a new one on me.It matters little
to me now the Rhovanian plains are mine now given up without so much as a whimper from the Nman. So come all who dare you must face my hordes on the plains and as ever you shall be found
wanting, as the Naldo were this turn, as the dwarves shall be next turn, who next shall come and face me is there any worthy
freeps out there all.
K.E. - You know where to find me!!

I had 2000 fearsome pirates in that army. Those Gondorian townsfolk must be drinking some potent brave juice to have resisted my threats for so long.
As it was, many brave scurvy dogs of the sea had to die to liberate the population centre and put the townsfolk to the cutlass.
As always it would seem the fighting spirit amongst the freeps
is sadly lacking , to afraid to even post simple messege on here.
All goes well for us even if you have had your minor victorys
we shall end your misserable existance soon enough and i fear you shall depart without so much as a whimper!!! a bit like here
really.
goodbye freeps and good riddance.
K.E.
MOmmy, we’re hiding in the shadows.
I have to beat up some darn sailors who crashed my party.
Rumours abound that the party’s host was beaten to death by a scurvy peg-leg wielding sailor or could it have been flock of parrots who lost their shoulder perches?

Well, easterbunny;
Seems like now the Northmen and Silvan “ARE” fighting back and you are in dire straits in the Rhovanion with the Rhun area next. What say now, little rabbit?
Bard I & Thranduil
(new NM player, took over on turn 10 & of course the Silvan since the beginning)
Dire straits indeed
Hmm so the NM AND Silvan are fighting back are they?? forgive me i didnt notice oh well its good to know at least two of the freeps are fighting back as it seems the rest arent doing a great deal. As for the Rhovanian issue well lets be realistic here
recapturing 1 poxy town that you owned originally is hardly
dire straits is it and look what its cost you to do it, Camthalian dead and Ovatha freed , what a shame!! Mark my words
Silvan you will live to regret ever letting him get away, watch now
as he wreeks his trail of distruction and delivers the death blow
to your puny resistance.
K.E.
Well, well easterbunny,
You sound like the evil emperor on Star Wars - Return of the Jedi, “The end of your puny resistance”
You know what happened to him, don’t you? The same thing that will happen to you.
Silvan and Northmen
MMMM i seem to remeber that little tale but as i remeber it the
resistance there was a very well organised and efficient whereas
here i am dealing with a fragmented rable of egos who really dont seem to have a co-ordinated battle plan what soever.
No my silvanorthelfman i am afraid this time the Dark lords will
prevail, and i shall be Emperor.
K.E.
Well freeps your as quiet as ever but i can understand why
turn 20 coming up and im pretty sure you should be just a little
nearer to mordor than you actually are. No matter were more than happy to bring the fight to you so pucker up and lets get
it on. The Winner takes Gondor and mirkwood.
K.E.-next stop angmar.
Darkies,
Da Northman still here - my flesh wounds from last turn are already healing ! If you think I am in a condition like Harad, you better guess again.
FYI, Clint has left the game due to personal commitments, so
don’t bother harping on him. At 10.5 to 8, we Freep still have a
fighting chance in this one ! I guess I am the only Freep with a toungue left to banter with…
Don - Da Northman
Oops, wrong game - thie was for ME 52, where Kiersozi is
playing my arch nemesis, the Short Rider…
Don - Da wandering Northman
Get outta here Don and back to your hole in ME52
It would seem it matters little what game im in my wrath against every Northman Knows no bounds as i kill maim and destroy everything of Northman origin. Well little freeps it seems to go from bad to worse for you yet again, you have no offensive anywhere that i can see and your defences are falling fast.
Its time to accept your fate and take up your slavedom under
Saurons command , the sooner the better.
K.E.
Don da Deadman,
Okay, your oracle has gone !
But maybe you’re able to answer the winning-question ?!
Ha Ha,
My oracle is telling me that we shouldn’t give away victory !
I’m agreeing with my oracle !
Have Fun !
Gixxxer
I know about the wrong battlefield !
Ha, Ha, Ha
