Subject: [mepbmlist] Ring Victories?Now we have been joined by the large US MEPBM
community, we can finally get
an answer to that age old question: how many One
Ring victories have there
been? (The last count I saw said zero.)I have cast Locate Artifact True on the One Ring
maybe 50 times in the last
year all games combined and never had the spell work
once. In previous games
I at least got a glimpse of who had it and where!
Given those odds, I don't
see the point of the possibility of such a win being
included in the game.Anyone able to prove me wrong?

Gavin,
When I was the Dog Lord in Game 50 (2950) I had Dendra
Dwar casting LAT on the One Ring every turn starting
around Turn 21 or so. He had +120M artifacts and a
natural casting rank of 85 giving him a combined
casting rank of 205+ Of about 20 casts, I only failed
once. On my last cast, I found that Gollum stayed in
the same hex for two turns and it allowed my best
agent (Khamul) to catch up with him. Khamul was able
to steal it from him and leave. Alas, the ring is a
slippery devil and I didn't keep it very long. But
even that game ended militarily.
