Cool, I had the email changed temporarily to my work address.

Gweldorf, you've got PM.

Beware to all wise Lords of this World.

The wild nations of Ermor and Vanheim have, in their infamy and jealousy, launched a vicious and coordinated attack to capture the Halls of the Oracles of Agartha and rape as many Pale Ones as they can. Our Golems will oppose a strong resistance to the barbarians. But we ask any civilized nation with a wish to maintain a reasonable balance of power (especially towards the already dominating Vanheim), to join us in the war ASAP.

We are purchasing more Earth gems, by the way.

Zend Kuh

The word co-ordinated implies a level of sophistication and competence to which I can only aspire :-) For the most part, I just plan to pour hordes of undead across the border until Zend Kuh and his Argathans get sick and tired of killing them and give up in disgust.

The nature of the disagreement between Ermor and Agartha can be summarised thus:

Ermor demanded Southern Agartha for the purposes of raising vast numbers of undead, as well as building a disneyland style theme park devoted to the joys of necromantically enhanced lifestyles.
Agartha politely declined, as Zend Kuh preferred to keep what was his rather than hand over territory to his greedy southern neighbor
Ermor attacked, which ended in dismal failure and frustration.
Not being overly bright, Ermor has now attacked again. Expect more spanking and general murder and mayhem to follow.

At this point, it is perhaps worth noting that key motivational motto of Democratic Centralist, First Consul of Ermor, is "if at first you don't succeed, raise more waves of undead and try it again."

The first consul of Ermor, Democratic Centralist, is proud to announce the opening of our new theme park "Zombieland" in the territory formerly known as Southern Agartha.

"Zombieland" offers fun package deals for all the family! Bring your kids. Bring your wife. And above all, be sure to bring enough body-bags for everybody (or alternatively pick some themed ones up, signed by Democratic Centralist himself, at our amusement park shop - just next to the ticket stall as you enter).

We would like to extend our grateful thanks to Lord Zend Kuh for making all this possible, in particular for contributing the first batch of fresh bodies to kick start our "wheel of death" attraction.

Indeed, a double rush this early is quite a challenge for the brave Pale Ones.

But Vanheim, Ermor: just wait to taste the Granite Glaives of my sacred Golems...

Don't Look at the monkey! Nothing to see...

Hey, all... last minute Friday night change of plans; if I get back early, I'll try to wrap up tonight, but it may be morning before I can get to it, so I'm setting it back 12 hours.

Speaking of which, when do you guys think we should increase the turn time? I'm starting to get a bit of micromanagement in my empire.

I'm flexible with turn limits. Basically, when one of the players feels a need to increase the turn length, I reckon we ought to do it.

In the meantime, if you are comfortable with increasing the posting time on request, that also seems to be working well.

Alright, got back early, so my turn is in.

earwicker7 · #10 January 29th, 2011, 09:54 PM

Anyone else having a problem with llamaserver? I sent my turn in over an hour ago, and it isn't registering... the last update for either of the games I'm in was about 12 hours ago.
