Mist Spell is up and the email with instructions has gone out.

Mist Spell
Thanks, Marcin. Game is open and I took my turn. Hopefully I can last a few more turns than I did the last time and not give my capitol to GreatAtlantic so easily.

Am I reading this map wrong, or did three people start out right next to each other all in the southeastern corner?

Its possible, but remember not every VP is a capital. There are 2 random VPs to bring the total to an even 10, or at least thats how I asked Marcin to set it up. More likely there are only 2 nations there. Tight quarters, but them are the breaks.

Crom game is online. Everyone should have received their first turn notification.

I did. Thanks for hosting.

Crom: Sorry folks, Crom is gonna have to restart. One of the pretenders I loaded wasn’t right. Standby briefly.

hey, aren’t you supposed to tell me that? ;-)

I’ll take it offline.


Mine.

Also, while I understand why GreatAtlantic went AI, it’s too bad. The AI isn’t nearly as crafty using your available resources.

Well, it wasn’t like I was having much luck using my resources either. I tried Solar Brilliance, wrathful skies, fog warriors, and screwed up Unded Mastery. If I couldn’t beat you before you swallowed C’Tis, I certainly am not going to so afterwords. Your armies have probably doubled in size since we first went to war while my resources have dwindled. BoT (to say nothing of the Utterdark that I knew was coming) nearly killed my economy despite efforts to Dispel it. Not sure how Man managed to do so even temporarily. Regardless, the game is yours, and I hate playing with dead hands.

Yours. I was expecting my Gift of Health to go up before your Utterdark, but no such luck. I have to check what happens when you try and cast a sixth global. In the manual or in some other game, because I’ve gone AI in this one. :P

To be honest, I think I just got lucky. Tossed you 80 gems to try and get rid of that the first time, I assume it failed, so the next try was with something like 4 or 5 turns worth of spare gems (and I had some decent sites for my non-core magics stolen from Hetzer) adding to about 80-100 pearls or so. Shocked as hell that it went down, but it really wasn’t going to make a difference.

Loaded this turn, saw that the double “Fuck the World” of BoT and Utterdark had gone up, and just threw the towel in right there. Good game, LSB, thanks to Marcin for hosting, GA for being a good ally, and Hetzer for being a persistent enemy. :D

Y’know, when I read this, I took it as a joke. But staling the very first two turns of the game (for Mist Spell at least) is certainly a decisive step towards this goal.

I knew things were bad when I won one big battle, killed about 2K undead and was still being swamped. I thought at least that the Mids/Man might be able to counterattack and take back the Mictlan capitol and sweep from the south. But Ermor was too strong and Man was hamstrung by R’lyeh.

My first time playing against the undead hordes and I learned a lot. CTis vs Ermor is pretty tough since I believe a lot of our poison doesn’t really work. OTOH, I too have a ton of priests and dead magic.

It was my bad. Sorry about that, guys.

That does it. Our pre-game alliance to knock Jason Lutes out of the game immediately is OFF.

ZOMG! Pre-game alliances are forbidden anyway! Because, like, our avatars wouldn’t know each other yet. It’s impossible! You can’t mix real life knowledge with RP knowledge. LAME LAME LMAE!

DUDE I WAS TOTALLY JOKING OMG DUDE STFU

uh, me too. That was my “RPG dude” talking.

I know that. I was using my “I am pretending not to notice that you were riffing as an RPG dude” dude, dude.

It’s the Intarwebs it is sooo confusings!
