Game 235 - Turn 17

[Macman]

Well- I don't see anything up for our game yet- so I guess I'll strat it off and wait for the others to get on board!

Is anybody out there yet?

Macman
Techno Leader of the Bad Guys

[Macman]

"Junior Member"?!?!?!?!?

Crap! I HATE starting over... again...

Macman
Desperatley seeking Senior Memberness...

[benmin18]

We're here... just waiting and plotting the demise of more Nazgul...

PS - You can change your title. Check the FAQ.

[starkhorn]

Thanks Mac for restarting the thread. At last I have access again to a MEPBM forum. After upgrading to IE6, I couldn't get access to the pbmforum anymore so glad that it's xferred over here now.

Looking forward to some taunts.

Hey Fletch,

That's not very nice blaming me for the demise of your dwarf characters. If they had learnt how to clean their beards then they might have been infected with such a deadly disease.

Cheers

[Macman]

Many thanks to my dearest enemy Ben for pointing me in the direction of the FAQ list... "Junior Member" was too grating for me to endure!

Macman

[starkhorn]

Yes thank you Ben and the people who created the faq list.....

[Fletch]

All this covorting with Orcs and Khandlings is making us sick. Not to mention all the time we spent with the elves on the way here. We'll obviously need to delouse once we get to Khand Amu!

It will only be a matter of time now. Way to miss the army com by the way...

Fletch

King Under the Mountain

[Macman]

Yeah, yeah... last I checked you hadn't issued move orders for the almost-dead commander either... I guess both sides missed the mark on that one eh?

Never fear- all mistakes will be soon ammended, and just in time for Rhun's arrival after a long hiatus! We were wodnering if you had been unnerved by the sudden loss of so many armies and pop centres a few turns back... glad you could make it to our party...

Macman
Chairman of the "welcome" committee....

[benmin18]

Things are looking kinda desperate if you've got the Cloud Chump and Blind Fool leading armies to stop the Northmen's path of destruction, eh? Yeah, we're correcting our mistakes now. Your offensive on the west back of the Anduin has come to a screaming halt.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

Uh . . . Silvan . . . . who would you expect to defend the backdoor of Mordor? At least our Cloud and Blind Lords are capable unlike most games!

Yes, Mac, it stinks to be a "newbie" on the board all over again. But at least you have a picture with your postings. You must tell me how that's done! (I've become so inept at internet/computer things these days . . . lack of time and getting old I guess . . .)

-Russ
Evil Corsairs

[Macman]

I guess Ben is used to games where the servants just curl up into the fetal position when the freeps come rolling in... sorry dude- you're just making it more economical for us to fight you--- your side can afford to send thousands of troops into the back door over a period of turns- good for you.
We can afford to field the agents, curse teams and armies for the turn or two it takes to destroy you. As an added bonus, we don't have to guess where you are either! I told you you'd be coming to me... (I WAS thinking more in terms of agents buuuuut... I'll take what I can get!

Macman
Content with the easy pickin's!

[Player]

Generalisimo Macman,

You and your yapping friends merely help disguise the greater purpose of the One. Keep waiting for Elves and the stumped ones, the Leaders are coming.

Saruman, no mans FOOL

[mix201]

Well, finally the Northmen have been given the opportunity to speak.

The other day I was sitting on my throne in my capital looking south towards Mordor. I saw smoke rising from beyond the mountains, and I thought it was just smoke from Barad-dur.....but NO it couldn't be. To my surprise and joy I realized that the smoke was rising from the Dragon Lord capital at 3822.

I smiled to myself and thought "nice job, boys"

I wonder how long Bain will survive, now that I know the DS knives are after him....... problably not long, but he did a fine job.


General Bain, soon to be 6 feet under with a smile on his lips

You can't hold us off forever. We'll be breaking down the gates to Morannon shortly.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

Oh, no, not the gates. This means I'll have to spend a saturday at Lowe's buying a new fence to put up. I'm not sure I'll be able to do my work with the stench of your dead bodies just on the other side of the gate.

-Handyman of the Year
Evil Corsairs

[Fletch]

Thats ok Russ, if you build a fence, most likely a slight wind or small child can knock it down! I imagine you'll man it just as well as those boats of yours ehh??<S>

What? Thats right, I said it, what??

King of Underground stuff

Fletch

[Player]

A Dwarf disparaging small children...? Um, mirror...?

Saruman

[Macman]

Not to worry- we'll use captured Dwarven smiths and masons to build new gates at Morannon... there's got to be a few amongst the thousands clamouring at Khand's and Dog Lord's front doors... we'll take a few prisoners this time round...

Macman
Project Co-ordinator

[RKFloyd]

Only a slightly-stronger-than-normal small child could do it, thank you!!!!

[benmin18]

You guys may take Tirith, but we'll easily take it back. However when we take Morannon, I guarantee you guys will have problems trying to take it back from us, if you do so at all.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[lionatus]

Duns signing in. I wish you guys would tell me whats going on. So the Lord of Dragons ist kaput?

Saruman stay away from my troops or we'll stomp on ya!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you're eying up those army icons.....

[lionatus]

An wots with me bein a junior member. I was battlin when you lot were in daipers for Tharbads sake..................

[Macman]

As Ben pointed out to me early on in this thread... check out the FAQ page and you can be rid of the "Junior Member" status...

Macman

[lionatus]

Cheers,

As you can see have done the avatar. Haven't seen the bit to change the Junior member bit though

[benmin18]

It changed.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Player]

Super Heroes, Generalissimos and Grand Marshalls...what's a poor Rhuggha to do amongst all you?

Saruman the Uniter

[Macman]

Surrender to the Dark Side?

Macman
Always have a helpful suggestion on hand...

[benmin18]

Blah, don't you mean you guys are going to surrender to us?

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Macman]

I would LOVE to surrender, but there seems to be too many of our guys still alive and well for your guys to keep watch over... yours are dying off pretty fast ya know?

I think it would be easier for you guys to throw in the towel. We still have most of our pop centres intact and unscathed...lots of room for POW's! and our armies are already well placed inside Gondor and Mirkwood so surrendering to us will be much easier and more convenient by far than having us walk out of our strongholds to find your guys.

Macman
POW resettlement planning and operations officer

[benmin18]

Last I checked, Mirkwood is free and clear of any DS armies and I imagine it'll stay that way. As for your little incursion into Gondor, well, that's going to be taken care of this turn as well.

Meanwhile, we're knocking on the gates of Morannon again, not to mention a whole bunch of other places inside Mordor. I'll be seeing you soon.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Macman]

You're right- Im sure Mirkwood will stay clear of more armies... and the little incursions into Gondor will not doubt subside shortly. Though I will have to ask you to knock louder in and around Mordor... the orcs laughter is drowning you out...

Macman
Corrected, and chagrined.

[benmin18]

Let's see how much more laughter there is come tomorrow as we prepare to storm the walls.

So would this be the same method of "storming the walls" that you lot used at Minas Morgul ?

If so then I fear the Orc laugher will only get louder.......

Once again Brendan, I would like to point out that it was you cowards that dropped the bridge the first time. You lucked out there, just as lucked out dropping the bridge this time around. But we'll see who has the last laugh. Morannon's going to fall, and there's not much you can do to stop it.

Then we'll be laughing down at your orcs at they try to take it back. :)

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[lionatus]

Ah, this is where I saw Macman then...................

[lionatus]

Oh to be back again, I remeber this one. DS giving up just when the mighty Duns were about to sweep all before them............

[RKFloyd]

Game 235 . . . 235 . . . I'm trying to remember, but it all kinda' runs together. I can only remember that Macman rules, Fletch is the man, and Ben is my manservant. ;)

Russ

[VEO]

Hey, I was in this too...Russ, the carolingian lawn mower lush who kept my daughter prisoner...right, right...

[lionatus]

Weren't there zombie pirates too?
