(Monkey Paradise) NEWBS ONLY (running)

Nikelaos is interested in subbing for Jomon. I've played with him before, and I'd like to let him replace Bonfire. Any objections?

[Nikelaos]

howdy folks,

Groundworm can you extend the timer a bit, I might not need it but I just opened my turn up and I'm a bit "HUR...DUR". I need to figure out what I've got here.

Absolutely. I'll extend the turn by 24 hours, take as much time as you need.

Did anyone else not receive the turn file this turn? I checked Llamaserver, which is the only reason I knew that the turn had cycled (so I requested a turn resend for myself). If anyone else hasn't received their turn yet, please remember that you can have Llamaserver resend the turnfile to you.

So we have reached the critical point in this game. Abysia has over 50 provinces, over a dozen forts, and is likely the lead in research. And that was before Abysia finished knocking over Midgard. I don't believe that any of the rest of us anywhere close to that.

My fellow Pretenders, we have two choices: either we band together NOW, while we have a chance to stop Abysia, or we each give up on the possibility of becoming Pantokrator. This is the stark reality of the situation.

What's a Pantokartor? Actually the rest of Midgard lands are already mostly spoken for by another nation. Interesting words though. To be fair 10 of those came the last 2 or so turns courtesy of Midard conquests after I managed to kill all the commanders of all his raiding forces and rout his leaderless skinshifters, besides, those 5 on the far coast bordering your lands are write offs since I will never be able to hold them against you once our war breaks out. I have to admit I do like castles in general, while you preferred to spend your gold bumping all your PD to 20, I spent mine on castles, helps to keep the heat in during the long winters. You yourself are hovering around 40 provinces a chunk of which also seem to have come the last 2 turns courtesy of Bogarus, no? And Tien chi is pretty big too just to be fair, although I'm not sure how big these days since my former scouts kept getting caught in the Bogarus-Tien Chi cross fire :P And don't hide all those Earth and Fire elemental kings you've summoned with your Forge lord god in that special province with what I'm guessing is bonus blood or nature site you have there. Not to mention I'm pretty sure you have most, if not all the demon lords as well since I don't have a single one. We shall just have to see if your Aegis/Crop of pain sickle wielding fallen angle can take my father Illearth in a death match!

You can try to muddy the waters all you want in a graphs off game, but when it comes right down to it, the facts are the facts.

You have over 50 provinces and a dozen castles (that you just crushed Midgard, a reasonably advanced nation themselves, and grabbed over 10 provinces in the space of but a few turns hardly is a good argument for your harmlessness). I know that I only have 35 provinces including the ones I just obtained from the dying Bogarus, and by my count no one else in the game has much more than that. Which means you have half again as much in the way of resources (gold, gems, troop and mage production centers) as anyone else.

Anyone else with halfway decent scouting can verify that this is the truth.

My fellow pretenders, if you're not scared of Abysia you should be. Because the way things are going Abysia is just going to pick us off one by one and then turn around and steamroll those who thought to profit in the short term from its conquests.

can I request an extention, I'll probs only need like 6 extra hours at most

[Groundworm]

Sure, extension in place.

[Inindo]

Can we move to 48 Hour turns?
