You could try taking something from me: everyone else seems to

There seems to be some kind of a misunderstanding between us. I've sent you a private email so that we can discuss the details and iron it out.

[Jurri]

Hehe, you're certainly not the only one coming for a piece! Just the most surprising one

Arcos gave notice last turn, and Caelum this turn. (Big surprise that the coward waits until I'm fighting at least 3 other nations before joining the dawgpile.)

Note to self: do NOT set god and prophet to retreat when you have no provinces to retreat to...

[WraithLord]

What???

Could you please elaborate. It sounds like a good story, though of course I share your grief.

[djo]

At one point in time, C'tis had two underwater empires separated by a peninsula. I was trying to get Thog the wrym and my prophet from the east to the west undersea empire, and I tried to rush them across the peninsula in the same month an invader was probably going to take the peninsula. So I set them to retreat, reasoning they had a 50-50 chance of retreating to the west instead of east.

Of course they didn't, and of course I forgot to reset their orders, and of course several turns later someone threw a horror at me (Caelum is my guess, they ate my western undersea empire), and they ran out of places to go.

This is just another exhibit in why I am not a feared opponent: insufficient attention to detail!

I'll be out in 1-2 turns. It's been fun, see you in the next one...

Last I checked, 'Insane recklessness' wasn't a victory condition.

Nope, don't even have anything with blood and astral.

[djo]

True, Sauro makes more sense. The horror attacks in the west showed up intermingled with the Genie attacks, so I jumped to conclusions. I may be misremembering. Couldn't do much about it either way.

Knowing the victory condition doesn't make you any less of a coward! And hey, there's no shame in being a yellow-bellied mama's boy. (Unless you fancy yourself to be some kinda man with actual, you know, balls, that is. Self-delusion's not cool.)

We will miss Thog. The Triumphant Genius led a rich life, and it's sad how he died such an unsavory death.
