Pasha

[Jurri]

A small eulogy for a worthy foe:
Rest in peace, Ygorl the Moloch, you deserved to die a lot sooner. Soon, after a Wyrmly digestive cycle you'll be but a pile of turd, that you always were: some things never change! Wyrm eats Moloch, shark eats bear, I beat you, the cycle of nature goes forever on. /threads/images/Graemlins/icon25.gif

Momma Pasha, you wanna be next? All of a sudden a place on the menu freed up; no more can you hide behind the glorified bat with your taunts and insults.

[Ygorl]

I guess you teleported in at the last second, eh?

Too bad; now I won't get to wear the Wyrm-busting gear that I built this turn!
Ah, well...
And, I expect you'll be dominion-killing me? That would make the cycle you mention especially poetic...

[PashaDawg]

Greetings All:

Turn 34 is out.

Deadline is Tuesday at 9pm Boston Time.

Bah! It amazes me how such fecal blather gushes from both of your mouths! Your actions and threats prove the urgency for all Land Nations to unite and flush you back to the sea. It is unfortunate that Ulm's lands are now soooo Fouled by you. /threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif You're toxic FILTH. /threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif The unfortunate folk of the Ulmish Plains deserve our help!

[Shmonk]

No no no, it's Pan who is toxic filth, invading my peace loving lands and bringing war to a non-violent race of spider worshippers. /threads/images/Graemlins/Peace.gif
What precipated this act of aggression? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif All of my spider lovers are tending their wounds, planning violent dreams of reveng on the "holier than thou" white horsies, who think they are unstoppable.

Once Fortu returns to the battlefield, WATCH OUT, because he's pissed!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

(And if Pan mentions something about me starting this war, he's making that up... would I lie to you all?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif )

notice how easy it is for you to call for our destruction once both ulms cause is a lost one and we come closer to your lands.

[PashaDawg]

Oh no! Maestro Jurri has enslaved the mind of Machaka! How terrible. I don't know what delusion he has cast on you, Shmonk, but no doubt he has concealed his claws behind an illusion of Pan Aggression as his fingers wrap around your undefended throat and his facial tentacles casually extend toward your ears. Cast off his wicked dream, Shmonk! He's gonna suck out your brain!

War is a terrible thing Machaka! I know you attacked me because you knew I am by far the weakest prey in this game. You are a predator looking for the old and sick.

I got lucky in one battle and now you are talking up my handful of valiant, pure of heart,quite old and fragile White centaurs.

Are you doing this so your master, R'lyeh, can go about his evil ways while people are afraid of a phantom in the south?

A hamfisted attempt at slander if ever I saw it.

I hope Fortu comes back soon and sees the errors of his misguided life, and we can all dance and frolick in your lands. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Shmonk]

I'm sickened by the propaganda of plump Pasha Mama and his buddy Steerpike-a-little dittle, fanboy extraordinaire of the "northerners". In no way shape or form am I the puppet or mouthpiece of the hated "non-land" dwellers. As we all know, spiders and water don't mix, let alone spiders and squids. I am an individual, and not being led by anyone (or anything, for that matter).

In Fortu's finite wisdom (not infinite) seeing the water mongers tackling the weak Ulmites, he thought to follow suit by "tentatively" looking at Pan, who came out of nowhere and is now taking over my lushless lands. We are saddened by this shameful act of war. And slander does not enter into this picture in any way. Retaliation, YES, that DOES come into PLAY here.

Fortu cometh, prepare to meet thy end. /threads/images/Graemlins/Envy.gif

[Ygorl]

"Weak?!?" "WEAK!?!?!?!?"
We hold off the combined might of two nations for three years and we are weak?!

Wet ones, give me just six months to show those spider-huggers what "weak" really looks like...

[PashaDawg]

Perhaps, you should forgive him, Ygorl... Jurri's probably sucked out most of his brain by now... Hmmmm... he probably walks with only 3 out of 8 legs now, too. How distressing for the rest of us!

Another example of the evil of the Wicked Weener and his Water Foul Puppet Master.

As for you "tentative" attack? A declaration of war isnt very tentative http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And I dont understand this "a-little-dittle" we Panii are reknowned for our excessively large dittles! Thats why the ladies Love us so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I hope Fortu can back up this revenge business for his sake. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

[Jurri]

Paashaa... You blasted inbred whore of a *****! I'm going to need to use an extra thin straw to suck your brains out. Even then I fear the pleasure will be a short one.

I think it's clear to all that the only puppet here is Pangaea: Why else would he choose to let the Fat Witch of the West live another day and instead opt to slaughter some harmless bystanders in a senseless act of maniacal rage? I don't know what dark secrets hold him in your thrall, but I hope to find out before it's too late: I can't believe Chuck to be rotten to the core.

[Steerpike]

Water Foul this...Blah, Blah,Blah. Puppets That... Blah, Blah,Blah. I see a lot of trash talking and not a lot of action.You Ladies are neighbours now why dont you back up this talk!

And leave the Adults to resolve our differences in a spirit of cooperation as evidenced by Fortu and myself.

Or perhaps all this hate talk hides an alliance between the Mama and the Squid??

[Shmonk]

I knew it, you'd see my comment and find the 1 species of spiders that likes water, out of the hundreds that don't. We spiders/scorpions are so misunderstood. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rant.gif

Ulm, bring it on, let the water foul give you a "last fighting" chance and come down south and say that to me. You are weaker, I'll outlast you at least. So thus, you are weaker than I am (and your excuse of getting ganged up on by 2 water nations doesn't hold water). Okay, that might have been tough, but I probably could have done the same thing (okay, maybe not, but I didn't have the chance to prove it, so I will say that I can).

Beware, Fortu cometh! And if you wait 1 more turn, Mr Steer-harpy-loving-pikemeister, you'll find out for sure. I ask you - nay, DEMAND - you hold off on any further advance into my lands, or suffer his chastising of your little horse-men (he may have to put a few over his knees, and he has 6 of those, and might cause your "army" to scatter in fear). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I mean, c'mon, half horse half man, how sick is that, what goes on in Pan's forests over there? Yuck! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

[PashaDawg]

Turn 35 is out.

Deadline is Wednesday at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[Steerpike]

Shmonk , Unless you tried it you can't comment, ok.

Fortu is a bad, bad scorpion King! The question is how many Afflictions will he have when he comes back? He could be blind or feeblemind!

Perhaps you should save your boasting till after you triumph. And for your information ALL my troops like a good spanking and if you single out my centaurs for such treatment, you will cause a lot of resentment amongst all the others. Be fair, you have enough legs to go round!

Pike

[shovah]

he could be blind, feebleminded, crippled, lost both arms and have a chest wound. THAT would be nasty.

[Ygorl]

Sounds like Weener the Dagon to me!

[PashaDawg]

Turn 36 is out.

Deadline is Thursday at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[Shmonk]

Actually, I'm thinking Fortu will not only return affliction free, he'll actually have gained power during his banishment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Jurri]

Woohoo! Ygorl's finally and irrevocably gone! *Slithers about in excitation* Let's all dance on his grave and make fun of his flappy wings and poor taste in fashion (I mean, mains gauches are so... gauche. And two of them? Yuk.)

Thanks for the game, man! I kinda expected a quick victory, but no, you had to go and put up a struggle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Ygorl]

Thanks all! It was fun.

I wonder what happened to all my crossbowmen, Lamias, and Devils?

[Steerpike]

Alas, poor Ygorl.

He put up the good fight though, outstanding resistance. Fortu wishes he could shine Ygorls boots, hmmmph. Ygorl withstood the two most powerful nations in this game for 8 or more turns. You have folded like a deck of cards to one of the weakest of military nations in the Game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Well you get your pretender back this turn so, maybe the worm will turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


Pike

[shovah]

since when am i one of the 2 strongest nations? i think i hear the sound of pike trying (once again) to make people hate us water dwellers.

[Steerpike]

Shovah, you have dispatched Ygorl the great! Rejoice in your power! I dont hate you water dwellers, that is Pasha Mamas particular bent.

Myself? I have been descibed as a minion and a puppet by the likes of you and Jurri. I am indeed the lowest of the low. Fortu thought I was an easy kill, and maybe he is right. However I have only attacked when I have been attacked (save for Caelum who was just begging to be annexed).

At the moment its all up in the air, who knows maybe you,shovah, will find this an opportune time to break your pact with Jurri. We land lubbers are mighty ill equiped to invade water provinces. Save for Jotun perhaps.

Pike

[Shmonk]

I know what you mean, since when is Pan one of the weakest military nations?!?

I think Steerpike is saying that because you 2 were the first to go to war with somebody (Ulm). Thus you are the 2 strongest nations. I'm surprised Jotunheim is not upset by that statement. Or even Pasha Mama. So who took out Caelum, wouldn't they be considered the greatest nation since they were the first to conquer someone else?

And I think "folded like a deck of cards" is not quite accurate. Maybe "took 1 step forward and 3 steps back" is a better analogy. I'm down, but not out. Yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[shovah]

well actually i did very little in the taking out of ulm, my initial (pathetic) advance was halted and from then on i didnt do too much. I'd definitely say jotun ranks among the top, he has large amounts of amazons, vine ogres, devils, giants, thugs and a couple of neifel guys aswell as plenty of versatile mages (national and otherwise)

[PashaDawg]

Turn 36 is out.

Deadline is Friday, Boston Time 9 pee em.

Pasha

[PashaDawg]

Oops. I mean turn 37.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 38 is out.

Deadline is Saturday at 9 pm Boston Time.

AHSAP

[shovah]

sorry for holding 37 up.

[Steerpike]

Well, I tips me lid to you Fortu. You were true to your word and were indeed an A class thug. I cant beleive you had no afflictions. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif


Pike

[Shmonk]

Darn tootin' straight he's a class A thug. No afflictions, just like I predicted (hoped for, more like it). Then he goes thru your army like butter... okay, maybe not like a hot knife, but destruction was dealt out, a lot. Then he hit the 50 turn limit and retreated into enemy territory to die a horrible death (dummy, he didn't listen to me). Heck, just watching that battle I saw him get 1 experience star halfway thru.

So, I was down briefly, but as you can see I'm not quite out. Just wait until round 3. Da pain, da pain!! That's what your satyrs will be saying. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

My predictions for afflictions? I bet 1, hopefully not 2. <crosses fingers>

[shovah]

lol, unlucky about retreating.

[Jurri]

10 gems say Fortu will have no afflictions at all upon returning! Any takers?

He's a mean sonuvagun, that ol' Fortu is.

[Steerpike]

Sry about the delay in turn 38. I was sure I had sent it ages ago. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Pike

[PashaDawg]

Turn 39 is out.

Deadline is 9pm Sunday Boston time.

Pasha

[PashaDawg]

Turn 41 is out.

Sorry. I had accidentally sent out the turn previously before hosting. So, I have sent it again (this time after hosting).

Deadline is Tuesday at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[Steerpike]

Fortu is back! Well the reports of your quick demise have been greatly exagerated Shmonk. I wonder if the big guy is affliction free.

This thread has been pretty quiet for a while, I would say the tension is building.

[shovah]

I shall be gone from late friday afternoon until wednesday afternoon, sorry for the inconvenience.

[PashaDawg]

Shovah:

Hmmmm... sounds like you, as a redcoat, are planning to cause us problems on this side of the Pond as we celebrate our Independence from the tyranny of King George III. (We have a long weekend because of July 4th).

Pasha

[Steerpike]

Poor old George III, if it wasnt for Porphyria's disease perhaps you damn colonials may have accepted the rule of King and Country!!!!

Your president seems to be a monarch in power, at least he has only two terms to muck things up! Wish he had some real opposition besides the press though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Pike

[Shmonk]

I'm in deep thought, planning my comback into minor-powerhood. I plan to be a BIG thorn in someone's side now. Big, festering, pus-creating, painful thorn... with barbs that cause even MORE pain when attempting to extract. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif muwhahahaha

(Hmm, if I put my pawn here, move my bishop over, nope, move my ROOK over there, then place my knight right about... )

[Jurri]

I have to echo Pike: no news is bad news. What are y'all preparing that's so hush-hush? Me, I have a doomsday weapon in the works, one that will finally put down a certain tubby girl and her Pannish pegpoy once and for all!

[Steerpike]

Sounds nasty Shmonk http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif What have I done to deserve your Ire, has our dance become a bit tiring ?

Jurri I actually had to Google the word 'pegpoy'and all I got was two websites that were in French. Perhaps its some archaic Finish word for mighty warrior or perhaps Sagelike King!

I fear your Doomsday weapon and mind controlling monsters!Why doesnt everyone else rise against this most powerful of nations!Alas, My armies have been scattered to the winds by that rascally wabbit Fortu so I will lend moral and logistical support.

Also has Pasha Mama lost weight? To only be reffered to as Tubby is like saying The Football World Cup is a modest sporting event! Viva Australia! Robbed by Italy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Pike

[PashaDawg]

Turn 43 is out.

Deadline is Thursday at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[PashaDawg]

Dear Water Foul:

We are glad to hear that your doomsday weapon is only "in the works". We've already completed our first generation of doomsday weapons and are already targeting them for the maximum effect for flushing you back into the Sea.

Don't forget how to breathe underwater. You'll need it.

Pasha Mama

[shovah]

I also may or may not have a doomsday weapon but shall remain silent for the moment. Also does this mean i am safe from your weapon having only 2 land provinces?

ps: jotun, those ictyids your building on your coast are rather threatening.

[PashaDawg]

Listen, Water Weener:

You shall not be spared, although you are currently less of a threat. After all, it is not too late to turn on the Water Wyrm / Water Foul invader from another star.

If you ask Pasha Mama, you should have the entire sea to yourself! You are Atlantis, after all, and THEY are a foreign contaminant in your native land!

Pasha Mama

[Jurri]

Steerpike said:

Oh, nothing so prosaic! Just a misspelled word: naturally I was after pegboy...


Also has Pasha Mama lost weight? To only be reffered to as Tubby is like saying The Football World Cup is a modest sporting event! Viva Australia! Robbed by Italy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

While this is true, I thought the openly hidden other slur would more than compensate. If you don't get the reference, please, for the love of god, DO NOT google it!

That was a nasty ending to the Italy game, indeed. Hopefully Ukraine kicks them out of the games.

[Steerpike]

Alright Shmonky Im sending my Faerie Queen down there to sort you out!

I hope Italy win so we can say that we should have beaten the world champs!

So tell us what is this doomsday weapon of yours? ermm?

Pike

[shovah]

its a gift of reasoned hoburg militia fully decked out with artifacts.

[Oversway]

Boots of the behemoth isn't an artifact

[PashaDawg]

Turn 44 is out.

Deadline is Friday at 9 pm Boston Time.

After that, I think shovah will be away for a few days. In any case, we will wait until shovah returns.

Pasha

[Shmonk]

That's good, because I will be busy too over the weekend, and until Wednesday.

And Steerpike, that just sounds so funny... "I'm sending my Fairie Queen down there to sort you out!" I mean c'mon, a "fairie queen" against a mighty Scorpion King?!? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif Sure, bring it on, he's hungry for more anyway. I'm getting thornier and thornier (I hope). Bring Chuck, that might be more fun.

CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK

Can Chuck come out to die, er, play? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Your stack of mother guards seems more threatening to me.
Don't tell me you are afraid of a bunch of ichtyds at this stage of the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Jurri]

Oh, you'll find out soon enough, Pike, and you too Pasha, with your vewwy own 'doomsday weapons'. It's so cute!

Shmonk, I think Pike meant to say f_air_y queen. Why would he leave a prophetized one sitting on her arse? So, I'd cut down on the mockery... no, I wouldn't.

your afraid of a very small number of mother guards when you have huge armies of vine ogres and jotuns (including n9 neifels!)

edit: looking at my turn you also have atleast 1 ice devil.

[Steerpike]

What is a f_air_y Queen? Oh you mean Air Queen! Well she may tag along but the killing will be all Faerie Queen(I prefer the Gaelic). You mock her at your peril shmonky, at your peril.

Looks like things may be hotting up in the oh soo civilised and peaceful North! An Ice devil is nasty!

Why am I always being attacked by people?! Its because Pan is considered easybeats! I know you all dont respect us, what with all the dancing, fun, wine, song and nakid Dryads!!!

Or maybe its Jealousy, hmmmm.http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

[Jurri]

Pan, lacking respect? You know nothing about that, my sylvan friend: you should note how me and my aquatically advantaged buddy have received nothing but ridicule and threats from day one! Your troubles are small compared to the bias we face in our everyday lives, and it shames the League of Whiners to see you try and hog all the sympathy with your unlicensed outcries. Wallowing in self-pity is closely regulated: the union doesn't look kindly upon such soloing as yours.

Also, your dryads could never hold a candle to an octopussy.

[PashaDawg]

Hi All:

shovah got back for a few hours but is not gone again for a day or so. But, he got a turn to me... and so here is Turn 46 for your playing pleasure.

Deadline is Wednesday night at 9 pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[PashaDawg]

Turn 47 is out.

Deadline is Wednesday, July 5 at 9 pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[Steerpike]

Nice Golem action down there in the South Jurri!

This game suddenly got hotter.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 48 went out yesterday night.

Deadline is tonight.

Pasha

[Jurri]

Whoa, that was an awesome dominion push you had there, Pike! Blindsided me, at least. Oh, well, guess I'll just slink back to my hole... The hole I'll rip in your chest you blasted treehugger!

Poor Shmonk got left in the crossfire. Hopefully he still hates the pegboy more than the endearing little me. /threads/images/Graemlins/Teddy.gif

[PashaDawg]

Turn 49 is out.

Deadline is Friday at 9pm Boston Time.

No doubt I will be playing cards (i.e., the Great Dalmuti) that night with my buddies. So, hosting might be late. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Pasha

[Shmonk]

I'm getting caught in the cross fire it seems. Fortu's gonna have to go on a killing spree now, what with nations warring on each other all around me (and over me).

Don't mind me, just stomp on my little spiders as you go at each other. hehehe http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[PashaDawg]

Turn 50 is out.

Shmonk is going to be away for the weekend. So, we will wait until he gets back to host the turn (although he might be able to play this turn, but not the next before he takes off).

Fellow Land Lords and Lorddesses:

The overt malevolence of the Water Foul and his puppet, Weener, is painfully clear to us all. The Water Foul has plunged his filth deep into Pangaea. The Weener has commenced a surprise attack on the peaceful Giants of the Northern Wastes.

It is TIME to FLUSH them back beyond our shores! It is TIME to give them the MOTHER OF ALL SQUISHINGS!!

Pasha Mama is READY! Let the Squishings begin!! Onward!!!!!!!!!!!

[lebarjack]

Hum... This Weener is really... naughty.
I agree it's time to react.

[shovah]

I do believe i previously told you one of your neighbours lanned to attack you.

[PashaDawg]

We're you referring to yourself: the Dastardly Weener?

[shovah]

perhaps. Now that a big jotun army is under my ocean i can reveal my plan to help the people of the world. I shall cast a super re-inforced sea of ice, trapping the jotun army underwater, its ice devil and various neifels with it. Protecting the world from him.

[PashaDawg]

Another example of your wicked treachery!!!

[Steerpike]

YaY! I killed one of Jurris 15 or so Golems http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Only 14 more to go plus three Air Queens, a couple of Gargoyles and a nasty Wyrm pretender. I only lost about a Hundred Vine Ogres and 5 Pans too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

All is well, If only I hadnt lost my Air Queen and 2 Fire Kings to a dumb rookie mistake http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Go for the Throat Pasha Mama, For the throat!!!

[Jurri]

Haven't lost an MR 24 golem with a shield to elf shots before! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

(To tell the truth I never lost a Vastness to a bunch of fire snakes either before this woeful turn... Curse you and yours, Shmonk!)

Also happened:
-Jurri the Wyrm lost his mind under unclear circumstances. It's yet unknown whether he will ever recover fully.
-The gargoyle Stonebrow got crippled and maimed, in a word shattered by the Pan-brutes.
-The notorious assassin Ctenophoros met his demise when he lost his nerve, turned tail and fled from the attempt to slay an Arcoscephalean fancy-boy called Epistor.
-The second skankiest whore on the planet, Shuhleettabuffay, met all the folks she had wronged in her horrid past on the field of battle... and prevailed!

[Ygorl]

So you're still using that "hordes of nightmare dead" trick, eh?

[Jurri]

I sure am! Old dog, new tricks, you know how it is. In fact, Chuck the Dragon faced a terrible fate just last turn in the undead hands of his victims. Let his sordid death serve as a warning to all that murder is wrong.

[Shmonk]

Yea, when I saw your Vastness I was thinking 'what the heck is that?' Never seen one before (I guess my other games never had a Vastness that was summoned, so this was my first view of one). As it started tearing through my troops I got worried. Then the fire snakes walked up and put him out of his misery. hehehe http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I have to get my minor victories somewhere before I leave this game (due to either Pan or R'lyeh, probably R'lyeh). /threads/images/Graemlins/Envy.gif

[PashaDawg]

Has the war between Pan and Machaka let up due to the mutual threat of R'lyeh?

[PashaDawg]

Turn 52 is out.

Deadline is Tuesday night at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[lebarjack]

Ouch...
My giants took a bath in an abominations lair. Trust me, it hurts. Or was it the swarm of deep seer? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[shovah]

nice battle, however it was a hard blow to me aswell since i lost 14 deep seers/kings of the deep due to some dumbass mages who decided to cast breath of winter.

Yeah, with Jurris rude party crashing I am no longer interested in Shmonk's lands. Good luck fighting the Calamitous Calamari!

[Steerpike]

Fear the Faerie Queen!!!

You can get your Air Queen back Jurri but all those hard won Artifact6s have to hurt a little http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And nice win against that Golem Shmonk.

Pike

[PashaDawg]

I think we should all hold a moment of silence due to the death of Pasha Mama. Another cruel trick of the Water Foul. Shame! Shame! Shame! Bad Foul! Bad!

[PashaDawg]

Turn 53 went out last night.

Deadline it tonight at 9pm.

Pasha

[Jurri]

Huh, some not-so-fun battles... Like, Pasha Momma apparently died to autorout in an assassination: not cool. And I'm not sure I appreciate those elf shots: if MR negates, MR 24-25 should block virtually all of them. However, already two such creatures with high MR have died on them. The first one had a shield, even, meaning that the odds should be heavily against the elf shots to both hit the target (despite the 15 precision of the sprites) and do harm. It was pretty funny how the AQ happened to lose the shield arm on the first attack that managed to hit her, though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Other than that, nice resistance on all fronts, dudes! That centaur commander is another lucky feller, avoiding his fate against insurmountable odds.

But, you can be the luckiest bastard ever for all I care: inevitable doom awaits your meaningless existence despite you whoring yourself to the wrinkled old Lady Luck. One can but wonder what she makes you do to favor you so... Undoubtedly your long experience in pleasing the poor Pasha Momma serves you well.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 54 is out.

Deadline is Thursday, 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[PashaDawg]

I am glad to report that the Ice Devil Pashamangler was sent back to Hell, but not before he could drop is goodies onto the ground for the benefit of Arco.

Meanwhile, I see the Wicked Weener has some mean looking Water Queens attacking deep in Giant Territory!

Finally, the Water Foul is mussing up Fortu's native lands. Grrrrr! Boooo, Water Foul! Yay, Fortu!!!!!

[Steerpike]

Yes that was a mighty Arco Victory! A bad couple of turns for the Calamitous Calamari http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Your arrogance shall be rewarded with being thrown back into the Sea Jurri. Lady Luck loves us Panii and will not desert us in our times of need.

Have at you, Sir! Have at you!

Pike

[Shmonk]

Well, even though I'm "this" close to dying, I'm going to attempt to go out with a bang. And nobody is exempt from Fortu's death rattle... he may decide to march north towards Pasha country, just to get a piece of Mama between his pincers before succumbing to it all. Or he may end up going to giant land and kneecapping a few big'uns. Sorry, no way to get into the water, so the water-breathers are safe, unfortunately. Pan, I may just walk all by my little lonesome through any land I can, leaving a path of desctruction.

Or it'll be over in 2 more turns, whichever comes first.

[PashaDawg]

Mighty Fortu!

Don't give up soooo soon! We need you against the evil Water Foul! I can get you something to help you go into the water!

Oh... and by the way, Pasha Mama is dead for a while. So, don't bother coming to my land to find her.

Pasha

[shovah]

he could go to your capital and await her return or he could go get jotusn big mama

[shovah]

im having email troubles so my turn could be late.

[PashaDawg]

I don't think Fortu has a fetish for Big Mamas. He should stick to squid.

[shovah]

chucks the only one who likes the chunky women

[PashaDawg]

Turn 55 is out.

Deadline Friday night.

[shovah]

There remains one big jotun army (thats active, there is another not attacking me iirc) for me to deal with, however its far, far away from my little queenies (one of whom likes collecting gems) that will die soon me thinks. In practically every mp game ive played in i face the same ending, i do well, make a few SC's and get plenty of mages then get steamrolled by one huge juggernaught of an army.

[Steerpike]

Well, I will endeavour to keep your record intact Shovah!I have to destroy a peski Squidie first though, so you may just have to wait your turn.:)

The Giants may grind your bones into fish paste yet.

[shovah]

the 'squidie' should have taken care of you before i die (and weeners dont have bones so your last line is pointless! mwa ha ha!)

[Jurri]

You buggers... Every turn is worse than the last. This can't possibly be happening, not against limp-wristed astrologers and impotent panii... No! I refuse to yield to desperation, and will be born again from the ashes even more glorious than I was. Yes, I'll wash the amniotic fluids away with your blood, and leave your dried up husks for history to forget!

Oh, incidentally, my doomsday wapon is nearing completion.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 56 is out.

Deadline is Saturday at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[Jurri]

Oh, crap! Pike, had I not forgotten a militia dude in that province you would have lost all of the commanders in the castle-attack, as well as the items from the wraithlord. Boy, do I feel stupid.

Well, at least the annoying sprites are gone.

[shovah]

who we waiting on?

[PashaDawg]

Turn 57 is out.

Deadline is Sunday at 9pm Boston time.

Pasha

[Steerpike]

Lost a couple more of your big boys Jurri? Thats gotta hurt considering its all because of a couple of little Wolfies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


It seems like this game is all about the little guys prevailing over the big guys, Ygorl V Jurri/Shovah and Shmonk vs me.

Pike

[Jurri]

So it seems. Could be that fighting simultaneously against three opponents distracts me more than I'd like to admit. Well, Chuck and Fortu and a couple hundred vine ogres are not a small loss either, I'd like to hope. Maybe Shmonk will finally stop struggling and just die a peaceful death... Fortu was a badass and I couldn't beat him on the field, but in the end nothing could save him from my ire. (In hindsight, maybe it wasn't so smart to arm him so well after all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) Those nearly thousand kills will keep him at the top of the HoF for long after Shmonk is but a memory.

[Shmonk]

Yea, well, Fortu is dead. I've gone AI (only capital left, really). Jurri was nice enough to equip me for a bit, but in the end he realized he couldn't go toe-2-toe with him either, so he resulted to Mind Hunt (chicken), and after resisting many many attempts (more than humanly possible, I bet), Fortu succumbed.

It was very entertaining, that's for sure. I expected to be out a long time ago. But I guess it was fated that my first attempt and tackling another "little guy" (Pan), turned out to be a minor misstep.

I look forward to the updates on this forum, and learning when Chuck and his kingdom falls, which should be next (I'm guessing 10 turns) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. And how Pasha Mama fares. Good luck all!

[PashaDawg]

Bye, Shmonk.

See ya soon in a Dom III game, I hope!

Pasha

[Shmonk]

Most definitely. I'm just trying out Titan Quest right now, to tide me over. Though I'm still in 2 more Dom 2 games. But I won't join another MP game until Dom 3 is out.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 58 is out.

Deadline is Monday at 9pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[Jurri]

Cluck-cluck-cluck.

Is that Titan Quest any good?

Oh, and the obligatory whine:
Curse your eyes Pasha! If the doomsday weapon wasn't ready I'd undoubtedly be weeping to my corn flakes. Since it is, I can just smirk like a wiseass whilst these stupid critters of mine that have lost their significance this very turn (and who seem to get their 27-31 MR broken with ease by your pansies) stand idly by while your puny excuse for a golem clobbers them to death. Your days are numbered, and the number is small.

[PashaDawg]

That was an unexpected battle. I was sooooo pleased to see your two Ice Devils get paralyzed early on!

Ok. Let's see that doomsday weapon. Mine is already implanted in the brains of all of your minions.

[shovah]

Well I for one know what jurri's doomsday weapon is, its nasty. What, exactly, is yours pasha?

[Steerpike]

Well, before Pasha Mama died we were able to capture some of the immense (and positively vile) flatulence she routinely let off, in a Bag of Winds I graciously supplied. This had a remarkable effect on the Air elementals that were trapped in the Bag of Winds with mama's whoopsie !

We wern't finished though, for thanks to the Capture of the Amon Hotep headress from one one of Jurris Air Queens, we managed to Mummify the greatest of these Ghastly Air Elementals, the result...well you will surely see the result first hand Shovah.

And we will all weep for a world gone mad enough to unleash such a nightmare upon a helpless world!

[PashaDawg]

Pike has it exactly! Watch out, Water Foul & Weener Puppet.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 60 is out.

Deadline is Wednesday night at 9 pm Boston Time.

Pasha

[shovah]

So im suposed to be afraid of mummified flatulence? Im not impressed.

[Jurri]

An embalmed fart sure is a scary idea, but maybe not in the sense you'd hope.

Looks like my doomsday weapon has finally shut you dudes up. It is true that it is an aweinspiring thing, and words from mere lowlifes such as you would hardly befit its splendor. Such reverence for it will surely gain you a place in the Hell of Endless Pain once I finally ascend, instead of the much crueler Hell of Vile Exhaust. (Courtesy of Pasha Momma. Any plans on getting her back, by the way? I'd so like to kill her again!)

[PashaDawg]

The Arco Press Department is pleased to announce that the Great Flushing has begun, and soon the Water Foul shall be soon completely dispatched to the Sea.

The great folk of Ulm shall soon be once again under the rule of land folk.

Their Arco and Pan heroes are on the way!

[Jurri]

That was so huge a fluke, that I'm not even going to give my usual whine/boast.

Really, that was possibly the biggest fluke I've seen in dom2. Until this the winner was perhaps when mages started targeting mechanical men (mindless =immune to mind spells) with mind burn and enslave mind and such, but this certainly takes the cake. Words fail me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

[Ygorl]

Hey, so what is this doomsday weapon, and what was the fluke? I'm curious...

[shovah]

Yea, what was the fluke.

[PashaDawg]

The "fluke" is that Jurri is finally losing, and he does not like the taste of his own medicine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

(Actually, I am quite pleased how luck is working in my favor.)

[PashaDawg]

The fluke... it was that one of his commanders with a nice artifact (Nathgul... or however you spell it) decided to blink which gave my mages a chance to zap him and take the artifact. Yay!!!!!

[Jurri]

I'm not entirely convinced that the stupid jar is the culprit, though: all other spells it casts are shown normally (Nethgul has cast ...), and in this instance no message was shown. Also, the description of the thing clearly states that it will cast spells on enemies. Also, I for one have never seen the [censored] thing act like this before. Usually it just casts enslave mind, enslaves a critter that later dies and causes a rout. Guess this time it figured out the best way to piss in my porridge would be teleporting to one of the very few dangerous places on the battlefield, outside the fort and next to a dude with a wand of incineration. (The aforementioned enslaving wouldn't have caused a rout in this battle. Instead it would have slowed down your army a fatal step or two.)

Well, be it as it may, I'm through caring. Good riddance, and hopefully the [censored] jar of stupidity loses as many battles to you as it has for me. I don't even mind losing the fort due to the fluke: you need all the handicap you can get!

[Jurri]

Shoot, missed Pasha by 5 minutes. Sorry for the delay, guys!

[PashaDawg]

Oh... I was cleaning up for work. So, no big delay.

Turn 63 is out.

Deadline is Saturday night.

Pasha

[Jurri]

Pike, why didn't that AQ prophet rout when the PD troops and commander died? It most definitely wasn't mindless or berserk.

Otherwise somewhat non-descript a turn. Mr. Icicle Fist's name won't make any sense after I mummify him, so shame on you!

[Steerpike]

Sigh, Jurri, Jurri, Jurri...

When will you learn that Pasha and I have the most unfathomable luck imagineable http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gifA prophet doesnt rout when she should have, an SC goes down to stupid actions, an Ice Devil dies from Vine Ogres! Let me spell it out my freind.

YOU-ARE-PLAYING-WITH-THE-BIG-BOYS-NOW_!!!

So lets just put down our (cough) super weapon (Arcane Nexus and Forge of The Ancients is lame, I expected something along the lines of a super Mummified Air Elemental, pfff) and quietly hand over you lands... ok. You can go back to your little wading pools off the east coast and the adults can go back to their conversation.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


Pike

[shovah]

You do realise how much hes going to be getting with the nexus right? you will be blown right out of the water, o wait, me and jurri own that. so you'll just have to be blown off the map instead.

[KissBlade]

What does mummification do exactly by the way?

[shovah]

i think they are talking about the ritual of rebirth which mummifies a dead hero from the hall of fame, very useful.

Yes Bootlick, did you say something? Oh thats right you cant even deal with a few giants (snort).

As I said the grown ups are talking! If you children can't be quiet you WILL be sent o your rooms!

Oh I meant the item spell from Amon Hotep. Does anyone know what it does?

[Steerpike]

Awww, it just summons a mummy commander who is pretty weak save for leprosy which is a disease that is nasty against most normal troops. How often do I see normal troops in this game? Hardly ever! All I see is Golems, Gargoyles or Tartarian commanders with heaps of magic items to make em nastier!

However Jurri loses em like nothing else soo...


Pike

[shovah]

Just because im one of the youngest players on this forum http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif and i may not have killed the giants but they certainly havnt killed me (jotun has plenty of normal troops)

[Jurri]

You guys are on a different level, alright.

I'm sorry the doomsday weapon wasn't anything more impressive, although you're not seeing the trunk for the leaves: the Nexus is really only a side-effect of having a mage that's capable of casting Wish. I'm afraid my wishes aren't any more flamboyant, though. Maybe I should start by getting back every artifact I've lost... That would take quite a while http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[shovah]

who knows, maybe when the games about to end jurri wil have a few wish casting mages and go full-armageddon on us.

[Peacekeeper]

Was just reading your games thread. I had nethgul blink a commander of mine(who had no astral magic of his own) in another game Jurri, so it is to blame.

[PashaDawg]

I'd actually be interested to see what Armageddon does. This is a CRAZY game, after all.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 64 is out.

Deadline is Sunday night.

Pasha

[shovah]

Armageddon destroys 20% of all units in the game and 20% of all population irrc. Its a last resort-pain in the *** weapon.

[Jurri]

So it was the jar-bastard...

I'll bring about the end of the world, certainly, but armageddon is rather silly. I don't suppose my high-hp mages would be more resistant to it than your puny ones?

[shovah]

i dont think any stats help vrs armageddom, if your within its 20% target area you will die.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 65 is out.

Deadlin is Monday night at 9pm Boston time.

Pasha

[PashaDawg]

[shovah]

YAY FOR THE WATER DWELLERS!

[Jurri]

Ahhaha, Ooooff-Da is music to my ears!

It was sooo fun how your golem got trampled to pieces by Elephantman http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif He's number 3 in HoF already? Wow!

[shovah]

I thought golems were size 6? is elephantman your tartarian i heard about?

[Jurri]

Golems are size 5, grasshopper! Which is why they would be excellent anti-tramplers if they were properly equipped since the damage in trample is based on the size difference, and the golem can cast body ethereal and luck innately. Too bad for Pasha, Elephantman is the biggest, baddest, mofo of a trampler ever, and yes, you've heard of him. Although you really should have scouts all over so you could bear testimony to my glorious exploits firsthand http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[shovah]

BAD PASHA! you should no how to make atleast a decent SC or thug after seeing all of jurri's http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Steerpike]

Haha, I will show you a nasty SC when my Air Queen wallops something next turn. Nothing will stand against her http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

She is my only one though so it will be pure luck if she catches one of your tartarians.

I had scouts there so I saw your glorious exploits Jurri and beleive me I have learnt a lot in this game, pity it will most likely be my last Dom2 game.

Pike

[Jurri]

That AQ sure has survived a couple pretty tight spots http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif You could always teleport her atop one of my guys, that should work.

Where's the pity in this being the last dom2 game? Surely it just means that the next game, whenever that is, will be even more fun with the upgraded version. It's one thing to beat you with superior beings from outer space, and another things entirely to crush you with a bunch of monkeys! /threads/images/Graemlins/Palm.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/Palm.gif

[PashaDawg]

I have spend the last 24 hours crying in my pillow because of the walloping Jurri gave me. I now need to wipe my tears and go to my office to bring home some bacon. So, I will play my turn tonight. (Sorry for delay.)

[Steerpike]

Bah, I thought that Serpents Tooth weapon, the one with the Deadliest Poison in the world, the one which affects even poison resistant troops would cause you pain Jurri. I was wrong, im thinking that it was your high armour on Elephantman so the tooth never actually got to do damage.'


Oh and nice assault last turn I was wondering when that was coming. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


Pike

[Jurri]

Your poor prophet never had the tiniest chance. Maybe in your dominion, instead of mine, things would have been different. You're probably right that the armour was what blocked the Tooth, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway against 47 hp a turn regeneration. (And Phoenix Pyre http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

...although so far we've seen quite a few unexpected things, so maybe I shouldn't be so confident http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[PashaDawg]

I think it is time for shovah to cut his master's strings! Otherwise, he'll have his brains sucked out, too.

[shovah]

Ha! you over-estimate me. I have no brain!!! mwahahahaha. I have often considered attacking jurri but, since i knew from the beggining i wasnt winning this game theres no point, especially since i gain alot from our alliance (get those dirty thoughts out of your head NOW pasha, i know what your thinking)

[PashaDawg]

Jurri's having computer difficulties. So, we shall wait until his difficulties are resolved.

[Jurri]

Yes, sorry for the wait. I have submitted my orders so we should get a new turn to contemplate while Pasha is gone.

It would indeed be a great folly for my minion to turn on me: I have a vast array of underwater thingies that I can't use on you landlubbers, so he'd have to face the brunt of them alone, most likely losing provinces instead of gaining them. Hey, I wouldn't mind taking you all on, I think I'd beat all yo scrawny asses nonetheless, but it would be much more involved micro-management-wise so I'd rather not. Thus, I'm happy to share a smidgen of my wondrous wealth to further shovah's aspirations for both our benefit.

[PashaDawg]

Geez, Jurri. Is your nose growing?

[Jurri]

To better sniff you out my dear! You can't hide forever, Momma, and once I find you it's tentacoo wape all around... And long appendices come in handy then, too.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 68 is out.

Deadline is when I get back! (About a week.)

Farewell. Farewell....

[PashaDawg]

I am back, but suffering from jet lag. So, I will attend to playing and hosting the turn on Sunday.

[PashaDawg]

Turn 69 is out.

Deadline is Monday night at 9 pm Boston time.

Pasha

[shovah]

Anyone have a good/bad turn? mine was *insert details here*. Suprised no-one nabbed that sickle artifact i lost, the gems it harvests are pretty nice.

[PashaDawg]

Oh Jurri will grab it. He's hogging all the marbles. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[shovah]

With the nexus do you really think hge needs just a few death gems per turn? (although, giving it to a tartarian with death magic could be nice. Cast rigor mortis then charge in to replenish gems)

[PashaDawg]

Jurri's evil. It's not about NEEDING the extra gems. It's about TAKING them.

[shovah]

I guess, may as well deny them to the enemy even if you dont need them. Its not called 'evil', its called strategy.

[Jurri]

I never had too much appreciation for that particular thingie. You'd want to put it on an SC, but then you'd have to juggle the gems off of the dude (can't really go casting huge spells for fatigue considerations) and that's annoying. There's of course the exploitative way of utilizing it: get an ally to send 30 crapola units to a designated province each turn and amass the gems. That's too much trouble to arrange given my exalted position, though.

I guess I'll forge it just to spite you dudes, though. 'Cause I'm evil. Or because I have a strategy, take your pick.

[Steerpike]

Been a bit busy lately, but just had to log in and say very well done Jurri. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I havn't much of an answer for your attacks but will fight to the death nevertheless.


Pike

[PashaDawg]

Bah! Evil!

[Jurri]

Why, thank you Pike! I do have an absolutely distasteful amount of forces assailing you, so no wonder. (Pretty boorish of me, I know.) Were the scales more even, who knows what would happen.

Fellow players (excluding the Water Foul):

It is with great sorrow that I must report that the Wicked Jurri has essentially taken control of all of Pasha Mama's lands. This was foretold when I said the sooth many turns ago. The Evil One shall suck all our brains out!

But I KNOW that Lebarjack and shovah will hear the alarm bell and immediately end their mutual hostilities and strike at Jurri while his softer side is in their faces.

Pasha

[Jurri]

Ah, so the back of the Mama has finally broken under her weight and she's pleading for a graceful end? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I support stopping now; I'd say there's little to be done to stop me, and the only thing remaining would be dismantling the NAPs I have with Jotun and Atlantis and then gobbling them in an orgy of mass-destruction.

[PashaDawg]

You mean sucking their PEA BRAINS out of their little heads!!!

They should have sided with Pasha Mama... it would have been a beautiful world.

Eeek! Aliens everywhere... Eeek! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Yeah, i see aliens everywhere too.

Well played Jurri, at least I had a flicker of success when I charmed your 2 AQs in one turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif that was sweet.

I also learned a lot about Golems and Gargoyles, to add to my knowledge of Devils and elementals.

Good Game!

I hereby declare Jurri the BIG WINNER!!!!! No one has protested declaring him the winner as suggested earlier. So! There ya go!

Congratulations, Jurri. Please see Tina in the back for your prize.

[Ygorl]

Wait a few minutes, I'm not done with Tina.

Congratulations, Jurri!

[Jurri]

Thank you, thank you. This was a fun game, and serves quite well as an appetizer for Dom3. Too bad it's behind the perceived schedule http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

High points for me were crushing Ygorl's über-templars and Moloch with my Wyrm, arming Shmonk to fight back against Pike only to later find myself to be almost totally impotent against the monster I created, losing numerous SCs to those damn sprites and getting the AQs charmed off. Oh, and that [censored] brain in the jar gets the prize for annoying me the most. I wonder how I got to be so totally overpowering with my resources; a part of the explanation might be that I had a lot of luck with site-searching, which doesn't seem to be the case with my foes. Not to mention getting the Arcane Nexus and Wishes going. Indeed, how come no one tried to dispel the Nexus? It had zero reinforcement, I think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[PashaDawg]

I did not try to dispel the Nexus because my gem income was extremely low. I was desperate to use the gems for other things.

Congrats on the win Jurri!! Anybody got any final turns to share (providing the password, of course). It would be cool to check it out. My short but sweet involvement was a blast. And I enjoyed the "almost down but not out" help I got from you, the magic items definitely took Pike down a bit.

Way to go!!!

[PashaDawg]

i have a back up of every turn in the game and a master password... so, I could send you some as long as no one minds sharing.

My turns will be kind of pathetic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[PashaDawg]

Just let me know if you really want me to send you some turns. You could ask for certain turn numbers, if you wish. You'll be able to see every player's turn at any point in the game. (For example, I could send you the set of Turn 20.)
