Game 235 - Turn 23

[benmin18]

*Snicker*

Things are looking up...

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Player]

Typical Elf. MY emissary squad gets slaughtered, and he's all rosy. Some ally this...I suppose I can look to the Dwarf for sympathy...

Saruman, Mourning on his Honeymoon

[benmin18]

My sympathies, Saruman the Wise. We shall avenge their deaths, ten-fold.

- Lindal, Elven Master of Shadowy Death

[benmin18]

Barduath, flipped... Khand capital, flipped... WK major town, flipped... Two IK emmies, dead... One CL army commander, dead... One CL agent, dead... Yeah, the loss of a Rohan commander and WW emmies hurts a bit, but we're inside Mordor, and there's not much you guys can do to stop us. I see the beginning of the end for the Dark Servants, although it has been a very good game.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[starkhorn]

You forgot death of dwarf commander by sickness.

[benmin18]

Bah, not too worried about dwarves... they breed about as fast as orcs. I remember hearing about the nightmares of a dwarven woman's fertility... brings a shudder to my delicate elven stature.

- Lindal, Recovering From Dwarven Women Imagery

[Fierein]

The DS are being remarkably quiet at the moment aren't they ?

Have we accidentally killed them all and therefore have no one left to actually worship us ?

Baranor
NG

[Fletch]

I'll bring a shudder to your Elven stature, with the flat side of my axe!

Apparently Khand is rife with diseases. This isnt the first time someone has died of wierd plagues down their. But, Gloin thought he could hack it. His final words before departing were...

"I feast daily on twelve draights of vitamins, have an ancient Easterling medicine bag tied around my ankle and a whole carriage full of leaches. Let 'em stop me!"

Medicine has never been our strong point. Why fix a limb when good ole cauterizing and a hacksaw work just fine. But sometimes, people get strange ideas about washing thier hands and bathing....BATHING! Thats an elf thing, certainly not something any Dwarf worth his salt would try. Come to think of it, Gloin may have been into bathing....serves him right!

[benmin18]

Bah, dwarves are dumb... And smelly...

- Lindal
Clean Silvan Elf

[RKFloyd]

Fear not, Baranor. My DS servants have not went the way of your Southern Gondorian brothers. Soon you shall feel the wrath of Sangarunya (again).

[benmin18]

Yeah, you can go on about wrath all you want but Mordor will be burning...

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

Mordor? HA! I don't give a rat's tail for Mordor. Mordor is nothing but a land of cowards who bow to and praise me incessantly! I would probably burn it myself, but you're saving me the trouble. At least they won't suffer the same fate as you and your kin. My liutenant, Sauron, will see to that.

Sangarunya
The Dark Lord

[RKFloyd]

And excuse my poor spelling. I'm a very tired Dark Lord right now.

Sangarunya

[benmin18]

I guess I'm just going to have to come and pay a visit to the Havens of Umbar... Now let me count the hexes...

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

Promises, promises.

[benmin18]

You wouldn't want me to disappoint you now, would you?

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[lionatus]

Disappoint who? Wake me up when something interesting happens. Duns really have to get a mapreader to teach my troops which direction is which. Scaring lots of raccits though. Good practice for pirate hunting!!

Rabbits are harder tyo catch though but taste better.

[RKFloyd]

<<You wouldn't want me to disappoint you now, would you?>>


Too late. You've been disappointing me for 20-some-odd turns now.

Lionatus, there are no rabbits in Imdorad. Suggest you move on out and hunt elsewhere.

[lionatus]

Imdorad wheres that, told you my maps are useless.

[benmin18]

It's ok, I'll just direct your troops to Morannon or the Havens of Umbar.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Fletch]

How many cartoons are you going to ruin for me?

Shouldnt you change it to snarf snarf?

[Fierein]

I have videos of lots of Cartoons.....

Although it was not a cartoon the best ever childrens television show has to be Trap Door

Dont you open that TRAP DOOR!.. Cos theres something down there. (strange evil laughing noise)

[RKFloyd]

By the power of Green Skull! (see my green skull?)

[Fletch]

No way man, its all about Thundar the Barbarian!

[RKFloyd]

Don't tell me that! Here I sit with 12 of the new He-Man figures on my entertainment center . . .

[benmin18]

Ok, why don't you two guys pick a cartoon for me... Or else I'm going to the Smurfs next followed by the Care Bears.

- Ben
Silvan Elves and 80's Cartoon Junkie

[Player]

Ben,

Maybe pick up a nasty drinking habit? Less time to worry about 80's television, more time to screw up your orders in 138...it doesn't matter in this game, as we've already won...

Brad the TV Hating Wizard

[benmin18]

I already drink enough as it is... as does Fletch... Keep your 138 taunts to that string, Brad. Then again, you really don't have much to brag about now do you... :)

- Ben
Silvan Elves, 235/Ice King, 138

[RKFloyd]

I still can't believe Brad joined Ben's team when he could have went DS with me. What a loser.

Russangarunya Whatsittoya

[Player]

Brad's a loser. He's a major embarassment. I will be rid of him soon.

Saruman the Independent

[benmin18]

Gone DS and watch lots of Nazgul die, Mordor about to be burned from the inside, Khand butchered, and the Cloud Chump taking assassination lessons from an elf, right? :)

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Fletch]

Dont talk to me about drinking, after that last weekend I feel pickled. Not a true Dwarf at all.....

Having played my fair share of games with Russ, I have determined that he is the mascot of the losing side. Therefore, we are a shoe-in for victory. Sorry Russ, you're just unlucky, as witnessed by your early naval defeat here!!!

I thought we had already killed Brunet a few turns back. Don't tell me he has been brought back to life ?!?

Cheers
Brendan
WK-235

[Player]

You killed Brunet, Verna, Lillian, Aileen, and have Katarina captured. You even killed my cat a couple turns ago in Khand... Brad and Brunet are spelled differently, though.....print it out, it might be easier for you that way.

Mind you, a dorkie training mage in my capital is one thing...go ahead and try to rub it in, as I watch Emily (straight out of the dungeons in Umbar ;)) continue to ravage your allies and, well..what's my Middle name...?

Brad "You Can't Kill All of Me" Brunet
ps - Ha! I even have another cat kicking you guys around...

[RKFloyd]

Fletch, who is the mascot of losers here? I have yet to lose a game in which YOU were not on my team! Do I need to bring up some very recent incidents of your . . . "stellar" . . . play in other games? I have yet to ever go bankrupt myself. :) Relax, you're not quite as lame as Ben.

Russangarunyasomethinorother

[benmin18]

Bah... I'll show you 'stellar' play when I come and visit. Let's see how well you function with an empty capital. :)

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[Fletch]

I only go bankrupt in games with Russ and Brendan, they inspire me!!

[benmin18]

Well, you're not going under here, at least you damn well better not be.

- Ben
Silvan Elves

[RKFloyd]

Nah, Fletch isn't going "under", he's just going "down". You know how strange those dwarves are.

As for my capital . . .you'd have to find it first. And it may as well BE empty now. All my boys are out fighting.

Russangarunya

[Fletch]

Yeah, only the Corsairs have gone "under" here. Sunk like a rock!

[benmin18]

And will be doing so again shortly...
