[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   I believe you are all at war with all of everybody.
Something about trying to be God or something. After
all "There can be only one" and all that melodrama.

[Il Palazzo]

Well, yeah, but there are several degrees of war.
This one is way beyond the boiling point.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Maybe he did not get the message? Perhaps a big
surprise party in his honor right on his front lawn would
be in order? You know, Fireworks and maybe some magic
tricks to liven it up at his place?

[Il Palazzo]

Hehe, not so easy to raid anymore, eh Lorak?

[Disaster!]

I'd like to request a 12-hour extension on the round.

I just woke up in the early morning and realized that I basically completely forgot to play my turn.

I'll play my turn when I get back from work later.

My apologies to those inconvenienced.

[Ignus]

Mind hunts are useless against your nasty statues, what with them being mindless AND lifeless. I hate those things...


Of course, I may be wrong and have screwed this invasion up needlessly.

[Il Palazzo]

No, you're right, but you could've always tried to cause me some grief by killing the supporting mages or something. But certainly, I'm not complaining or anything.

[Ignus]

Oh well. Valuable learning experience, first MP game, [insert excuses] etc. etc. (i hate you).

At least I wasn't first to die. Moral victory!

[Il Palazzo]

Man, I wish I could say that I'm having an easy time killing you. If I could only push my dominion a bit further, or if those Marignon fellows build some more more temples themselves...

[Ignus]

Yea, the temple situation is one of the biggest mistakes I made, and now I'm not really in a situation to remedy it.

[Lorak]

XD  I kept going around burning Agartha's temples which was probably helping to keep you in the game, but with that global he recently put up, I can't do it with my standard force now.   

And yeah this game is one of those neverending learning experiences.  This is like my 4th multiplayer game and I'm still making completely retarded mistakes at times, on top of all the shit I just plain don't know.  There's sooooooo many things that if you are aware of it, it'll help you out, and if you aren't, it'll hurt you.

[slMagnvox]

And yeah this game is one of those neverending learning experiences.

Quoted for truth.

[Ignus]

On the up side it isn't boring to lose. The inexorable march of Agartha is especially entertaining.

[Il Palazzo]

For me, the most fun part of doing MPs of Dom3 is having my clockwork army completely smashed, because somebody managed to find a weakness that I've overlooked, and then having to open that huge bag full of possibilities, and start looking for something to counter that.
It's going over all those spells and items that you've never bothered to use, or even knew that they have any use at all, and then trying them out, and striving to inventing that very special way to make them useful.
And then the opponent does the same, and then you have to adapt again, and so on, ad infinitum.
You can tell that you're losing not when there's an army at your doorstep, but when you realize that you've falling behind with flexibility.

If I were to quote one of the things that go through my mind when I play, which would define the Dom3 experience, then it would probably be: "Oh shit, it's working!"

[EuchreJack]

I thought the most fun part for you was always winning.   

Yeah, I wish I had more "Oh shit, it's working!" moments, lol.

By the way, I can be persuaded to build more temples, or smash more Ashdod temples, for the donation of gems.

Building temples will kill Ry'leh off quicker, and keep the miasma of C'tis contained.

Smashing more Ashdod temples will keep Ry'leh alive longer, as Ry'leh borders Ashdod.

Of course, these are counter-intuitive.  They also both require me to deviate from my "Super Secret Master Plan", which doesn't focuses resources elsewhere.

I'd even be so mercenary as to take everyone's gems, and alternate actions every season!  Yay sleaziness!  Or, if the high bidders don't like this, I'll chose one option.

Interested parties can donate 3 gems of any time in order to get a "gem list" for comparison of the value my nation will place on each gem type for this contest.  I appologize for the need to accept gems prior to the disclosure of this list, but the information is classified, and I need to be compensated for giving out valuable personal information.

Actually, I see that items and gold are also tradable.  I'd be more than happy to accept gold or items.  Items will be valued based on the gems used to make them, and tripled if my mages can't make the item.

Ry'leh, feel free to make an offer towards your survival.  Why die when you can just buy some help from the mainland?

Long story short, I can either greatly help Ry'leh's survival, or kill them.  What do you chose?
