Ah. Good! I can get back to getting my face stomped into the ground. I was missing that so.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

If I get the 12h notice and there are still people who haven't posted their turns I do a stealth 12h extension just in case someone gets caught in traffic or some other silly thing from real life.

Excerpt from an F.I.A briefing (Fomorian Intelligence Agency)

Agent:  ...with regards to Ermorian troops, we observed them to be effective but sex-crzed.

King:  could you... elaborate... on that?  I am not sure I follow.

Agent:  yes sir - we observed a recent engagement with Machaka, where Ermorian troops performed admirably, and completely overwhelmed the local defense force.  With certain victory in sight, they abandoned the field as if dark angel was chasing them.

King:  Strange - what gives?  There was no dark angel, was there???

Agent:  No - it turns out just then a runner arrived informing them that the local brothel is doing a "buy one, get one free" special, so the entire army dropped their weapons and went to partake.  Our report states that the surviving members of the Machakan militia were so stunned, they went to the brothel as well.

King:  bad day for an invasion, it seems.  But a great day to be the owner of the local whorehouse.  We should take a note of this if they ever decide to invade us.  Is there anything else?

Agent:  ...ummm.... yes...?  well...  there was a little miscommunication with Machaka.  I mean tiny.  You know how we have prepared diplomatic letters for different occasions, since the language is always so formal and poor phrasing could be costly, and all such considerations?

King:  I know, I wrote most of them, where is this going?

Agent:  we meant to send them a letter congratulating them on their recent... defensive efforts...

King:  yes - their brothel did impressive work

Agent:  and, stupid mistake, I know, instead of sending letter form 2145 we sent letter form 1245.  Simple mistake really...

King:  and that was?...

Agent:  ... umm - a declaration of war, sir.

King:  so let me get this straight.  You declared war on Machaka BY ACCIDENT?

Agent:  Yes!  Then we confirmed the letter, thinking it was a routine inquiry.

King:  Then WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE.  GO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS, NOW THAT YOU'VE STARTED IT!

King (mumbles to himself) :  I am surrounded by MORONS.  I know I am going to have to take care of this myself.

Could we change the thread title to something other than "Re-Restarted"? Every time this gets bumped I get scared we restarted yet again. Just a small thing for my peace of mind.

Also I did spy some interesting developments around Machaka. Seems there's excitement to be had all around.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

This better?

[Delta Foxtrot]

I am pleased.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Those giants are quite stompy but my, what is this pain in my back?

[Hellheart]

We have come to retake the lions that you have stolen from us under the cover of night, some undetermined time ago.

They were definitely stolen. We would never accidentally let our lions starve to death because we were busy conquering the world. That would be unethical and callous.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Just going to point out my last lions where gone quite a while ago. I don't actually like them mid-game. It just happens you tend to end up with a situation on the first couple turns where you can buy more lions then other units.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Ulm has stalled a turn and not submitted this turn yet either so I have postponed the time a bit.

[Hellheart]

I still have 4 hours!

But I stalled because I ended up with severe food poisoning that required an IV, and then passed out for some 20-odd hours. It was certainly an anomaly.

This particular delay stems more from the other game I staled in on Desura, where I'm running mass-reanimation, mass-Bloodhunting Lanka. I've got a system for handling those turns so I don't get overwhelmed (started with 2 stages, now it's closer to 4 and I'll soon have to add a 5th stage dedicated solely to tasking mages/hunters and balancing research amounts with my goals), and it takes a couple turns to get things running smoothly again after a stale.

...We're also just waiting on you now 

[Delta Foxtrot]

That's an awfully appropriate army from Ermor.

[Criptfeind]

Well, that's probably my last turn.

[Delta Foxtrot]

You fought valiantly.

Maybe if you had a bit better expansion we wouldn't have been forced into an early war. Oh well, coulda woulda shoulda. What sort of build did you go with?

[EnigmaticHat]

Can I have like a 12 hour extension?

Edit: Didn't need it.
