The Down south clan of the Corsairs, is looking to make contact if you dare with DS.

I know this might be a hard fact to face since i have only been in contact with 4 Ds and every FP.

So i'm curious if there are any DS out there?

[benmin18]

I doubt it; likely their Master Sauron has the Nazgul and their fools on a short leash.

- Lord Elrond, Bringer of Light

[Brendan Miller]

Hi Brian, Sauron's policy is that only a few of us are responsible for diplomacy to keep dealings straight and uncomplicated.
Too many cooks spoil the broth and all that.

Easy enough for everyone to drop you a hello if thats what you are after, but we'd rather keep proper negotiations and turn reports down to a few people, less confusion that way.

Just be wary of those Noldo aswell, they could never appreciate the value of your scurvy sea dogs and lust for gold dubloons in the same way that we can.

[nanook]

Take what Brendan's thoughts with a big grain of salt. He doesn't get out much.

And I don't care what he says: the Corsairs are a fine, noble people.

Nanook,
Silvans

The Mouth of Sauron has no will of his own. He is but a puppet for a bigger fool.

- Lord Elrond

[Brendan Miller]

Bigger Fool! There is no bigger fool than the Mouth Of Sauron! You shall pay for your temerity! No wait.......

Will the brain be requesting help unscrewing the lid before the battle begins?

[benmin18]

Lord Elrond would like to communicate message to the Fool Sauron, but he feels that Sauron's inept lackies would mangle it much in the same way his army commanders have mangled the situation in the Ithil Pass.

- Lord Glorfindel, House of Elrond

[Brendan Miller]

How have we mangled the situation in the Ithil Pass?
You've lost Adrahil, Eomer has been hit with a sudden 'sickness' and you did'nt move enough troops onto Morgul to do anything other than suicide siege it.
There are lots and lots of DS icons converging on the pass and not a single shiny palantir icon in NG apart from Osgiliath.
I have a nice warm feeling that you may be eating those words when the results come in next turn :-)

Sauron's #1 Lackey (apart from the Nazgul, Celedhring, Gothmog, Malezar and the girl that shapes his eyebrows).

[benmin18]

Perhaps, but what the Head Fool in Charge fails to realize is that we're fighting on Morgul, not Osgiliath. Gondor's treasuries are vast and deep with more wealth than the Dwarves could ever imagine. True, Eomer had a case of the sniffles, but nothing more to be concerned with. Mirkwood will soon be secure, and the fool in the Clouds won't save you from all of our armies. The Elves will be marching to war soon.

- Lord Elrond

[Brendan Miller]

Who's this 'Head Fool' and who's said he's in charge?! I'm in charge! Me!
We scoff at your paltry attempts to invade Mordor, the worst you can do at Morgul is let Eomer waste what little life he has left in a 'suicide' attack on the pop centre whilst the brave lords of Gondor die in their tents....

Your boasts are as idle as Gondor's recruiting policy. (Thats very idle in case you missed what I was cleverly trying to say).

The Mouth of Sauron

Nazgul are dumb...

As long as neither of you mind, and promise not to take advantage of the situation then that would be very sporting of you.
I'd prefer if the Decepticon did it though as no doubt you shed your hairs and probably smell like a wet dog.

[benmin18]

You'd trust a Decepticon?

- Ben

[Brendan Miller]

Alright then, looks as though I'm stuck in the jar for this fight.
Luckily I have a cadre of Mutant Zombie Cyber Ninja's (TM) on standby if it starts to look bad for me.

[Legallis]

Ben, I thought you saw the light playing Saruman in 231. Yet here you are on the losing side. My, my, guess ill have to send ya a visitor or two. better sleep with one eye open from now on.

IK

[benmin18]

Nope. Didn't play Saruman in 231. I did play the WW in 230 though, and I think the DS did win that game. Ask Brenden about it...

As for your visitors, bring'em on. I'll just have Elrond and company smack'em around.

- Ben
Noldo Elves

[Legallis]

230 it is then.

Elrond smacking folks? damn elves! Humans unite! kill the pointy ears.

exactly what company is he in??? just for old time sakes.

IK

[benmin18]

*Shrug* You can come up and try to find him, and company... But you might not like the results. Dark Servants tend to die quickly when treading too far north.

Let us know if you want a quick roll around the table to warmup.

Though I am flattered by the offer, I'm really not that kind of evil brain in a jar.

[benmin18]

You're Sauron's lackey, are you not? Of course you're evil. This is why us good elves are trying to defeat you.

- Ben
Noldo Elves

[Brendan Miller]

Good/evil, black/white? What is this obsession with catagourising everyone? Lets all agree that its all different shades of grey and the whole war is just a silly little ideological disagreement that could be sorted out over a cup of tea and some toast.

Of course, sorting it out will involve slaughtering your armies, torching your homes and doing the Snoopy dance to the lamentation of your women....

Fear the evil brain in a jar....

That's not what Khamul said.

Nazgul do indeed suck. However, I think you will find that the only sucking they will be doing in this war is sucking the marrow from your bones.

(I apologise now to my teammates who no doubt will see their Nazgul characters killed off this turn as a result of my bravado offending the gods of misfortune).
