Game 235 turn 21

[RKFloyd]

Hey Freepers. You're oddly quiet for turn day. Nothing much to brag about? Are you busy discussing whether or not to throw in the towel? Ah, certainly, certainly, I understand. I'll let you get back to your discussion now.

Sangarunya
Heir of Umbar and Gondor


ps . . . Looks like Linhir has been painted pink

[benmin18]

Still waiting for some more reports, but we've got our ups and downs, just like you guys do. Ask how the WK is doing, and guys lucked out that we didn't flip anything, although we came damn close.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Player]

Well, another stupid southern village doesn't count, OR, I'm not included in the We bit..which is just FINE! Don't want to be party to these FP FOOLS anymore than the DS ones!

Saruman the ONE

[benmin18]

My apologies, Saruman the Wise. I was referring to the useless tracts of land in Mordor and didn't think to include you in there because of the valiant work you've done down south.

- Lindal, Lord of Shadow

[RKFloyd]

Have you heard from your Ranger yet? Spring hasn't come, yet I hear it's pretty HOT in Bree!

[benmin18]

Yeah, we noticed that little bug up north. No worries though, we'll be just fine. Now you guys might want to worry though cause we will be busting down the door to Mordor shortly.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[starkhorn]

Turn20 and you are still talking about bursting down the door of Mordor.

Let me guess....your going to complain about the bridge again aren't you ?

Cheers
Brendan
WK

[benmin18]

Pretty much... although I will say, nice move up north. Didn't see that one coming either, but we should have. If anything, you've dragged the game out another ten turns, at least... :)

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Fierein]

Well I am up a whole new Major Town. :D

Did someone set up a B-B-Q at Pelargir and not tell me ? Thats just not on.

NG

P.S. In relation to weather. Actually got some sun in Scotland today. It was quite a surprise.

[RKFloyd]

I'd love some sun. It's been raining here in Southeastern USA for about 5 days straight. How can I use my new Canadian-built lawnmower with all this rain?! Nothing to do but sit inside and watch CNN news (and plan the reunification of Gondor and Umbar :)

Russ / Cors

[RKFloyd]

While we're off topic, did anyone catch the CHILDREN OF DUNE miniseries on SciFi channel? I know we have a couple of Dune fans that play this game . . .

[Player]

Are you sure it's a lawn mower? We make really spiffy snow blowers - might you have been suckered into another foolish war at the behest of your corporate masters for the purpose of furthering their fascist agenda against their own citizens..I mean, bad purchase?

Canadian Wizard

[lionatus]

Bens banged his last, strange name Benbanger. Unless thats our Silvan guy. Duns have Fire running around too but the Fire dept has been resupplied with pletny of hose and extinguisher.

Soon to be Ren the Clean, and very wet!!!!

Sorry Ben, I missed you asking about my health. Not too bad. A bit of a sore head but that's got more to do with Saint Patricks day than anything else.

As for losing two characters this turn....well it had to happen sometime. I mean it's turn21 and it's the first characters that I've lost all game.

Cheers
Brendan
WK

[RKFloyd]

Excellent! I knew the name "Benbanger" would distract Ben from any important targets. I'd like to report that no troops were lost in his assassination attempt. There are reports, though, that Commander Benwhacker is feeling rather afraid for her life.

Russ / Cors

[benmin18]

Well, Brendan... I like to think that us kicking you out of the north rather quickly was painful enough. But have no fear, you'll be losing more characters soon. Just keep'em coming. :)

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Macman]

Howdy! What did I miss? Not too much apparently! I'm truly impressed by the number of freeps in Minas Morgul. Best of luck fellas- the beer is in the box labelled "point towards enemy"- give it a good tug!

Macman
Caterer to all the big Nazgul.

But haven't you noticed Ben that we are back in the north ? Ask the poor citizens of Bree......

[benmin18]

*Shrug* Yeah, Bree may fall, but so will Morgul... And I'm willing to bet that we've got more major towns than you do. How's the Dragon Lord doing?

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

<<And I'm willing to bet that we've got more major towns than you do.>>


Hmm, I'm in on that bet! How much are you up for?

[Macman]

I'll be happy to verify the numbers... just provide me with a list of all your MTowns and Ill check that against our list and I let you know who won, OK?

Macman
Ever helpful...

Well in that case how's the Sinda doing ?

[Player]

Nyah Nyah na Nah Nah!

Oh bother. Is this what we've come to? Is this how the End Game is played out? Nag and bore your opposition death? Geez, I work in the days to escape from this (well, obviously working hard eh? ;) ).

Keep on with your posturing, and I'll keep on with my conquering.

Saruman the Ruler

[RKFloyd]

And, oh yeah, how is South Gondor doing? Nyah nyah na nah nah!

[benmin18]

South Gondor is doing quite well... The Sinda have seen better days... But I imagine they're better off than the Dragon Lord, Dog Lord, and Khand...

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Fletch]

There is not enough talk of the Dwarven nation here! You are all deluded as we are the only ones who matter!

[starkhorn]

I've always wondered how one spelt Nyah Nyah na Nah Nah!

Thanks Saruman. Geez that wizard is smart.....

Cheers
Brendan

[RKFloyd]

So, oh yeah, how is the Dwarven nation doing? Nyah nyah na nah nah nah!


I'm glad SG is doing well. Does he know how to hire armies?

[RKFloyd]

Hey Dwarf,

My skull pic has better resolution than yours. Nyah nyah nah nah . . . ah forget it.

[RKFloyd]

Hey Player,

I'm a Player-Hater. I know I shouldn't hate the player . . . should just hate the game. But I hate the Player, too, dog.

Keep it real, 'yo. Sometimes I feel like a man, know whut I'm sayin'?

[Player]

I haven't the foggiest clue what you are saying. I'll file it away for a spiteful grudge in the future though.

Saruman the Small Minded

[RKFloyd]

To be honest, I don't know either. Notice the time of my post . . . 5 am. You guys only wish I would do my turn at 5am.

I'm sure you'll recall my spelling lesson many turns ago. Yes, I'm smart. Helps keep you alive when you're as popular as I am.

Saruman, Mr. Congeniality

[Fletch]

The Dwarf nation is doing just fine, except for the occasional curse!

The Corsairs are just jealous that we have a better pirate flag. We won it from them years ago when we drank their pubs dry!

We are better than Sea Pirates, we are Road Pirates....

Arrrrrrrghhhhhh!

(yeah, thats all I got!)

[benmin18]

Dwarves are short and smell funny... Wizards are old and senile... Pirates are clumsy... Orcs are ugly... And Nazgul, well, Nazgul are just plain dumb.

Us Elves on the other hand, well, we rule. Immortality has its benefits.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

Fletch,

Shush or I'll rip that nasty mangy dwarf beard off your cheeks. And I'm not talking about the cheeks on your face!

[benmin18]

The only things that are going to be shushing, Russ, are your navy and economy... I'll be coming to visit soon. :)

- Ben
Silvan Elf Extraordinaire

[RKFloyd]

My economy is untouchable and navies can be rebuilt . . as I proved in this game. :)

Such arrogance is best left to those who've specialized for millenia...lest your words come back to haunt the last, fleeting moments of your sad sad existence.

Saruman the Master

[benmin18]

Ask the Khand about how well he thought he was untouchable, and that wasn't even me. Let's see how things go when I come to visit Russ... *Grin*

"Shush or I'll rip that nasty mangy dwarf beard off your cheeks. And I'm not talking about the cheeks on your face!"

Leave it to sailors to go there! Now we know why they are painting Minas Tirith pink, dont we!

[RKFloyd]

<<Ask the Khand about how well he thought he was untouchable,>>


Ha, shows what you know! Khand did not think he was untouchable. In fact, he specifically said 2 months ago,

"I am not untouchable."

[benmin18]

Bah, Khand Easterlings and pirates are still dumb...

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

You obviously missed my statement 3 months ago. I believe I said

" Khand Easterlings and pirates are not dumb."

This is a direct contradiction to your silly . . . "notions". Your thoughts and ideas have no basis in reality. Your imagination is an egregious effrontery to the decency and good taste of pure common sense. Your foolish fantasies and flights of fancy will be your downfall.

[benmin18]

And they're ugly too...
