*** Yeh I'll write something but if a player can do so that's fine as well.
Sleep was good to have afterwards though... :-)

*** Yeh cough. What everyone should know and this is very embarrassing to
please don't tell anyone (well go on then). is that I managed to blow up
the Rhudaur (as DS) very early in the game. Lucky enough Stu was kind
enough to say "heh Clint you've blown up your nation" just as I was about
to go to bed - so not much sleep was had by me... :-) Luckily enough
someone came up with a good idea for dealing with this. (I had considered
it as a GM before had but it's only the 2nd time it's happened.) I would
count myself as a quite experienced player and reasonably good at games, so
it's just mortifying from my perspective and I was much the figure of fun
(and rightly so!!)

*** Yeh great fun for that - lots of taunting. In the 2nd game (the DS
resigned after a while as there were 2 more nations bankrupt for many
reasons that would take decades to discuss and go into the nitty gritty of)
playing the QA (I swopped teams to make up some numbers) I lost Adunaphael
to a Corsair character in a challenge and an army with it and it's great
fun to see the face and hear the whoops of delight from the opposition in
such circumstances. (Most players congregate outside - it was boiling hot
- to have a drink and a chat inbetween turns and to taunt the opposition).
