I'm afraid I haven't been all that enthusiastic about this game for the last five turns or so. Not that I'm going to stop running it...
Probably due to the slow rate at which the turns have been coming through.

Barely? Did something bad happen to you IRL?
Forum alive. I'm fine healthwise IRL, just busy with IRL things. Plus League of Legends.

The imperial army marches on the metropolis of the hated Tesundan aggressors

Questions for Vanigo:
Some more questions then:
1) Does siege stack?
2) Do auras end if the unit casting it (auraing it? projecting it? eminating it?) dies? Or do they stay on till the end of the battle.
3) Do terrain defense bonuses boost magic defense?
4) Do defensive bonuses from cities apply to hostile occupying forces?
And my proposal:
Vanigo: After a bit of thought, I propose a auto pass (or auto-run) turn if a player takes more then a week on their turn.
I realize that there are sometimes extenuating circumstances, but taking two weeks every single turn is a tad ridiculous, especially for a game as straightforward and easy to do a turn for as this (as opposed to forum games that require you to run all the calculations for your turn yourself, or write tons of flavor text or whatever).

1)Yes.
2) They stay until the end of the battle.
3) No.
4) ...actually, I'd have to check to be sure, but I'm pretty sure they don't.

I would, but... I feel like team not-you is fighting enough of an uphill battle as it is.

I think that the best path would be to have someone else already playing do Irony's turn if he needed to be autoed. The best person to do this would obviously be Kash, since there wouldn't be a conflict of interest since they don't have any conflict, and as Kash going to be wiped out fairly soon. Now I don't want to put words in his(?) mouth, but I think he would be fine doing it.
I would be willing to do it too, but I understand that would be completely unnacceptable due to conflict of interests and knowing what he would do and all that.

Plus, everyone on team-not-lemon agreed, up to and including Irony.

Jesus, after a bit of comparing to the other thread, this one is going outrageously slow. In the past month this thread has only done two turns, while the other thread has done 18 in the same amount of time.

I am going to bump this, because although it has only been two days since this turn started I might as well try to get Irony to post his turn earlier then two weeks.

Correction, 19 turns have gotten in...maybe 20 since the trade that was going to be haggled over was canceled.

Well, its on turn 19 (and soon to be 20), but being on turn 19 means that 18 turns have ran so far (like if your on chapter two of a book, you only read a single chapter up to that point).

That is true.  Also, they just posted turn 20, making it the second turn today...

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Time for another bump: At this point Irony has taken over twice as long to post his turn then anyone else/.
