Yuck! Fire AND Nature? I’ll have to shoot those nasty things from a distance. Maybe we’ll need a little fire of our own…

3062

It’s an insane bless. Crappy late game but then look at the map and VPs. We won’t have a late game. It’s a very strange bless too. Causes some very odd things with secondary effects of web and poison.

Sorry dfs. I wasn’t trying to be devious. I just assumed that the dogpile comment from Nate was directed at me since he’s cancelled our NAP. So I’m expecting to have to pull back soon.

3063

Maer, did you get that Simple Hillfort in 108 by a random event?

3064

Well, I hate to give away my advanced secrets of how to make forts in one turn. But heck. Yes I got unbelievably lucky.

3065

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why those of us that are more advanced (ie we fly, unlike the rest of you groundapes(no offense, bandar)) need to stop flying to fight you? Why wouldnt we just drop rocks on your heads from a mile up until you were no more?

It just seems like we give up our one big advantage in order to fight you mano-et-mano. Which, when we do, we do poorly.

3066

Welcome new recruit to boot camp. So you want to learn how to fight on behalf of his excellency? To be the spear thrust into the bowels of his enemies? To be his eyes, ears, and giant armored fist on the battlefield? Well then, wonder no more, and read our rules:

Caelite rules of engagement - secret!

  1. Dont stop fucking flying. Ever. I mean it. There’s no joy for you on the ground. Everything down there is meaner, bigger, stronger, more heavily armed and armored, and even smells better. When you stop flying your life expectancy is exactly 0.2 seconds. That’s right, even less time than it took to read that sentence. Let that sink into your little bird brains.

  2. Don’t stop flying. Fucking bird brains.

  3. Reports of a candy van are all wrong. There is no candy. Dont go to the van. Don’t stop flying. Nothing good can come out of the van. It may be spiders, or little apes, or goblins or invisible sparkle horsies, but whatever it is, it won’t be good and it won’t be friendly, and every single one of them will rip your heart out and make you into soup. Or cacciatore. Or pot pie. If you’re ever uncertain about what you should do, revert to rules 1 and 2.

3067

That’s two games in a row that has happened to me.

As I retreated in order to hit the enemy on my own terms, they ended up with a fortress on the other side of my capitol. Shoot!

3068

Cmon perkins!

wanna play. Needa play. where’s the turn. Where’s the turn?

Think i had too much coffee today :)

3069

Knee surgery today! Will play a million turns tomorrow.

3070

Ugh, dude, hope you’re ok?

3071

Quite! It was to trim cartalege.

3072

Well, hopefully you can just sit at home all week and eat icecream then :)

3073

If we had sicked Maerlande on Perkins instead of me, we would be playing another turn already today.

Dang. Nothing worse then prepping for a game and getting knocked out early.

3074

I seem to recall that you were quite impressed with Eriu’s ability to quickly win the game.

3075

No, i think that was tenuki…maybe dfs is just trying to prove him wrong…

3076

I’m all for making sacrifices in the service of truth and wisdom, but that seems… excessive.

3077

I’d have been happy to attack Perkins instead. But I wasn’t in position. I’ll take bribes of course.

3078

I’m submitting my turn now, and then another immediately. Forgive me!! I had surgery. SURGERY!!

3079

Also, the lands around Bandar Log suck complete ass. Not a single magic site have I found. When this happens, I usually enjoy being dead last in the statistics chart for about 40 turns, and then someone mercy kills me.

3080

Oh well. Glad I didn’t bother attacking you then. I guess you wanted to test my spiders direct with the scout probe.

Nice move pyrhic. That hurt. You took all my gem sites!
