Countdown

I could crush you all but I still want to surrender .

Astral Corruption is an excellent counter to the Arcane Nexus. It significantly reduces the gem income from the Nexus and makes it much less cost-beneficial. It can expand a Nexus that was paying for itself in 6 turns to one that is paying for itself in 12.

A good move--not as good as a turn 2 dispel, but good nonetheless. Oh! and a successful Nexus Dispel as well! Lovely!

Bravo, guys, bravo!

I am beginning to feel like an original player . I am ready to call it in, if there is no DrP. Isn't he on IRC a lot?

No plan survives contact with the enemies, or, in this case, the players.

I still like the bidding; whens the last time you saw marverni, yomi, abysia, and kailasa in the endgame?

But in restrospect the map was a huge mistake. I *like* the map, but the choice of the map was too rapidly done. I should have stuck with arena - or, if I was to do it again - the Lo2 map. And the number and placement of VPs was definitely a mistake.

Mea Culpa!

I still don't like that Arena map. It creates major choke points outside the arena area. I made the Abstract Sky Tower map to create a more pliable Cumulative VP scenario. Check it out if you haven't already.

If you don't like it, tell me why you like Arena better.

[Debaser8]

Well that was a mess of a turn, for me.

Figure it was either overwritten by Astral Corruption, or the AN caster got eaten by a Doom Horror while trying to cast Wish or something.

Arco lost its global as well, likely in another horror-related incident

[DrPraetorious]

Doom-horrors: 2
You ****ers: 0

On a related note, I have concluded that I don't really have any practical means of fighting in the damn water. I was going to make a reverse-communion of Abominations, but cursory examination of my tarrasque reverse-communion experiment indicates that this strategy will fail.

[Eximius Sus]

Tarts tarts and more tarts.

We thought the Tarasque experiment was quite brilliant. At least for Kailasa.

24 hours added to the clock as per request. I have also turned Quickhost off. I'll switch it back on once this turn is in - prod me if I forget!
