The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Need Replacement]

Sandman · #1 March 8th, 2007, 04:57 PM

Frank sent me about 150 gems from his site-rich peninsula as part of his ill-tempered storming off. Anyone want them? I'm too honourable to keep such unrequested bonanzas. Preferably a substitute for Ermor, if one can be found.

I recommend you either keep them (I don't think anyone mind),split them up between all nations, or destroy them. (transmuting them back and forth)

Ermor currently has about half a dozen provinces and 2 castles left and is at war with Atlantis if anyone wants to take over the position.

If no one can be found, I suggest Hellboy sets it to AI, it will at least cause me some trouble and delay the now rather easy conquest of Ermorian lands.

I have no problem with you keeping the fire gems sandman if you want.

I hope we can now all get back to playing a fun game. I am an old hack at strategy games so this bad behaviour does not bother me, I have seen worse, outright cheating. The most important thing is not to let it spoil our game and continue to have fun. Its Hellboy as the host and the effect on any new players that is the problem.

Not that I'm a glutton for punishment, but I could sub for Ermor just for grins.

Although it would probably be a step down from the AI challenge wise.

That would be fine with me, I will give you 1 turn of peace to rearrange your forces, then continue my attack. If your interested JayThomas theres another position, Marignon in the 10 player hosted middle era slow game that needs a sub. This position is in good shape and not at war. Just post in the thread, contact the host.

I'll set-up when I get home from work (6:00 PM EST) for the Ermor bloodletting. Do I need a password or anything?

That's good of you Jay, we'd appreciate it. I'll PM you later this evening (I'm also on PST).

That's good of you to offer Sandman, and I think probably I'll want you to do something with those gems. If we do find a sub for Ermor, then sending them to the sub would be absolutely the most appropriate thing to do. Also, Sandman, were you an ally of Ermor, or an enemy to those he was fighting?

First, however, I need to ask those who have visibility on the Ermor position: is there any point in getting a sub? At a mere 6 provinces, it sounds like a sub will have little enough chance to inflict more damage than the AI would anyhow.

Secondly, if anyone else got any windfalls out of this, please tell us now, or PM me.

Thanks,

Hellboy

Neutral. There was a clash between us over a province which I won, but I didn't follow up the victory. Like Ermor, I was at war with Lanka, but Agartha took care of them with little help from me.

Hellboy · #10 March 8th, 2007, 05:45 PM

OK, I just looked again at Frank's message, and it looks like the two recipients were Abysia and Agartha. So, if we can get both of you to send back to Ermor, along with everyone following Meglobob's policy of giving Ermor a one turn cease fire, I think that could work.

JayThomas, its certainly good of you to help us out here, it will certainly improve the game to have an active player in this not so very strong position.
