[Sombre]

Starshine monarch takes the rush happy and oft underrated midgard!

[Fantomen]

I'd like to play LA Caelum if there is still room left.

[rmcolosimo]

ULM Reborn if there is still room.

I will join IRC and taunt as needed. Just can't today, as it is my middle childs b-day, but during the workweek IRC is me...

[LordFauntleroy]

I'd like to play Agartha if there is still room.

[Sombre]

I talked with some of the other players, and I'm going to say if this is your first ever MP game, it isn't really suitable. Second, that's fine.

Sorry about that LordF.

rmcolosimo - do you have mp experience?

Fantomen - you are in my friend.

[Sombre]

Attached the map for those SLOW OF BRAIN ;]

[militarist]

I'll play. Choosing the race.IRC is ok.

[militarist]

I'll play vampires.

[Sombre]

Cool, then I'll make the game.

[Sombre]

Now accepting pretenders here:

[Sombre]

militarist - just waiting on you now.

[Sombre]

NO MERCS SYLVANIA.

Consult the OP.

I suggest leaving them where they are until their contract expires.

[Sombre]

To clarify another point, I totally forgot to put NO TRADING in the OP. But I totally meant to.

So as admin, I hereby state, NO TRADING. Diplo remains completely non binding.

[Sombre]

I'm not going to get a chance to take a turn today, so I am asking me for an extension.

EXTENSION GRANTED!

Thanks me.

Edit: Huh, seems the last turn hasn't finished yet. I'll wait for that before extending then. It's not that far away though - get your turn in midgard.

[Ferrosol]

NO MERCS SYLVANIA.

Consult the OP.

I suggest leaving them where they are until their contract expires.

At least I have not been the only one buying mercs. Points to Sanguina.

[Sombre]

Sanguinia - leave your mercs where they are, doing nothing.

Anything else is cheating.

Read the game rules.

[militarist]

ohhhhh....

[Ferrosol]

I am afraid I will have to drop out of this game as my computers PSU has exploded. yes I am not kidding exploded in a shower of sparks and smell of burnt plastic. Luckily it is still under guarntee so I should get it fixed but chances are it will take weeks to ship it back and forth. Just as I was getting ready to backstab Caelum as well :(

[Sombre]

Oh snap. Could you do me a favour and look for a replacement?

I will put the game on hold until one is found.

[Maerlande]

I'll take it cause you all love me so much :) I lost two games this week (finished) so I can justify a spot.

[Sombre]

It's early game, so shouldn't be a tough sub.

[Sombre]

I just want to say, hesalt is BY FAR the weakest nation in dom3.

Their only good mages (their only good anything in fact) are cap only, old and expensive.
They have no forts other than 4 (or 5) turn 1200 gold ones to build.
They have a 20 admin starting fort.
Their troops are just indies. Crappy indies too. Armoured crossbows anyone? Axemen? Thought not.
Their pd at 20 points consists of 4 militia, 4 phantasmal soldiers, an indy commander an an A1 mage. No, this is not hyperbole, that is literally what you get at 20 pd. 8 troops 2 commanders.

Really, really terrible. I'm glad I'm being put out of my misery.
