Oh the cynicism! Why, you shouldn't fear another Burden of Time. Do not buy into Il Palazzo's carefully crafted words of warning, he seeks only to steal attention away from himself and his burgeoning empire - not to mention the principalities of Sceleria and R'lyeh, who will surely be the targets of his inflammatory propaganda the moment Ermor falls for realzies! cough

No, friends and comrades, I seek only your love and jolly co-operation in the coming months. The forces of Ermor do not think themselves mighty enough to conquer the world, but they are willing to work together with the major powers of the world.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

Slander and lies. I'd never do any of these evil things you accuse me of.

In the meantime, let me echo Delta Foxtrot's concern with Knave's absence. What's going on there, eh? If it's still the aftermath of New Year's Eve, then it must have been a party to remember. But then again, he probably won't.

Given that he has violated the peace of the ever Cheesy Mictlanese he had best return before I deliver unto him a burrito so foul it will taint his lands with curdled milk, his cows with stringy meat and bread that will make him wish he could subsist off cardboard!

So unless something came up he should still be raring to go.

...and another stale from Ashod, despite my silently-imposed 8h extension to ensure they and R'lyeh got their turns in. Alas. Knave, are you still with us?

I'm restoring our borders to their rightful, historical status. You can rest in the safety of your homelands.

Ashdod was due to stale for the third month in a row at l.t. 10 minutes to host time, so I postponed 24h. I haven't heard from Knave, and given that the first of the three stales was on the week-long turn, this makes me fear the worst. Ashdod is in a somewhat disadvantageous position, but they're definitely still big enough that if we set them to AI it would be a fairly disruptive thing. Do we want to seek a sub for the sub, and if so, do we have any lurking in the wings?

The score graphs show they have almost no army, and their dominion is close to extinct. Are you sure they're that relevant a player still? It might be hard to find a replacement willing to spend their time flogging a dead horse.

I'm all for finding a sub, but if it's a dumb idea it's a dumb idea.

Ashdod's running super-blessed giants, IIRC.  They don't really NEED big armies.  (also, I have a big old NAP with them right now, and would be sad to have them descend into AI-madness like several other of my neighbors have.

We could make a thread at one of the big dominions forums if Bay12 is running out of players. I mean, we have three medium-big games running currently. I imagine we're at or near our maximum capacity as far as free players go.
But let's give it a day or two to see if people from round 15 or 402 like to jump in.

Assuming we're not just letting Ashdod slide into AI, that is.

I suppose I could try. Super-giants would make a welcome change from all the frail cowardly monkeys I've been and will be playing with as Patala.

All right, as soon as I get the necessary info to do the changeover we'll drive on.

Urgh, I can see why someone might become discouraged in this situation. Well, I didn't join this game with any delusions of winning. Merely managing to make somebody else not win is enough for me.
