If I'm not mistaken, the game admin has a feature that allows him to reassign an empire to another email address. He can probably reassign it back to you once you've recovered. (It's usually used when someone drops out of a game, to bring in a successor)

[E. Albright]

Yes, if you can't keep playing, a sub can be set on a temporary or permanent basis. If we have a willing sub.

[Karlito]

Denzi told me he was going to try and get a friend to fill in for a few turns.

[chaoticag]

Denzi asked me to fill things in for him for a few turns while he's recovering, I said I would see what I could do. I just drop my email by E. Albright right?

[E. Albright]

I just realized that, this game being what this game is, I don't actually know whether Denzi is Jot or Asph. Lemme know and I'll make the change, though it will be a few hours as I'm off to look at strange "three-dimensional" objects for the rest of the day...

[Denzi]

I'm Asphodel. I'm hoping to feel better tomorrow but I'm sure I'll be fine on monday. Thanks for understanding guys.

Edit: If there is anything I need to do specifically give me a PM on the forum

[Denzi]

Alright, I'm feeling much better now. Will PM Albright to get asphodel sent back to me. Thanks everyone!

[chaoticag]

No problem. Hope I managed to help out somewhat by subbing in.

[E. Albright]

I was going to comment on how little forum chatter this game has generated in its first year (almost done!), but it occurred to me that this is like as not because it's a disciple game and we all have our teammates' ears to talk off...

[Karlito]

That's certainly the case on this end. It's nice to actually be able to discuss strategy in a straightforward way with people for a change.

[gman8181]

Still scratching my head about the magic site Chitterpalm Oasis. I don't even recruit Markata as Bandar very often. I'm struggling desperately to think of any reason a person would recruit unarmed Markata from a magic site except as a horrible joke. Good thing it at least gives a water gem as well otherwise I'd just be annoyed.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I dunno. I could think of several situations to use them. They're size-1 grunts with pretty good defense and low gold costs. Throw on some buffs, fix their morale with Sermons of Courage/Rage of the Cornered Rat, cast Iron Bane and they can do some respectable damage. Probably best against things like giants and cavalry to leverage their size-1 compactness, but they're not 100% crap. Just... 75% crap. _{What did you expect for 5 gold?}

[Frumple]

Doesn't flaming arrows and a strength buff actually make then vaguely vicious ranged critters? Five gold for sticks and stones isn't the worst deal in the game, methinks. Plus yeah, against large critters they can tear things down due to the stacked def penalties. Have to do something to fix the moral (which USEC mentions), but if you can get that you can kinda' wreck, say, Jotuns (hint hint).

They ablate like crazy, though, and obviously once you reach the point anything battlefield wide -- or even just large AoE -- starts hitting the ground they're worse than useless, but until then...

E: Also, we're about 3 hours out and three folks haven't submitted yet... maybe a short extension?

Yeah sometimes I forget that I'm in a different time zone and don't have as much time as I think I do. Turn's in, sorry about the wait.

Edit: Huh, yeah rage of the cornered rat is an interesting spell. Never noticed it prior to just now but I might try it some time as Bandar. Still, moot point as Pythium. I'm unlikely to really do anything with them as this nation.

[Frumple]

Nah... nah. You and me -- we should set aside, say, 1k gold, then pick a province and smash 1k worth of lobo guards into 1k worth of markata and see what's left standing. Just for the hell of it. For extra lulz, I'll bet 5 water gems the markata win, if you're up for it.

Anyone else that has 5 gold troops could join in, I guess.
