Turn 31

Well, no other responses, so we continue until it is unanimous (as far as those who are still active and on this forum) that we concede and I'll then close the game. The vets I'm sure know it's over. If one of you wants to post a formal concession I'll go ahead and change the shrapnel thread to reflect this, but until then I'll say nothing.

You guys let me know. Lets wrap it up soon if we can (preferably this turn), I know some of you want to learn a bit more, but I'd rather we close out the game while we still have a respectable number of provinces, a shred of dignitas, and all players still technically alive.

Hmm, Darloth I send you another 250 gold last turn, hope it helped.

Lost Aluvia (along with Gibbur and two augur elders).

Regained Northia (244). Darloth do you want it back?

Grudge, I see that hinnom has now taken 262 on our side of the straight. Don't seem to see any enemy troops there though. You did what you could anyway.

Van the territory is yours. I can try a last thrust with a huge force of retarius (hopefully they won't be spotted beforehand) before I turn over 237 to you. Let me know.

I don't have the juice to stop Hinnom up north. He's actually got a Melqart with some magic gear that is flying around my territory raiding me. It's no big deal but it is annoying. I hope to guess right and meet up with his 18 eagle kings next turn. I've got mass flight and mists of deception to obnoxiously smack him around with.

Stretch. If you don't you will have Hinnom on your backdoor anyway.

Edit to my last post: I've decided to post our concession to save face. Perhaps I am being pessimistic but I see no reason to drag it on. I will allow the game to continue for a few more turns for the sake of the few players remaining and for the sake of learning.

Stretch, could you give me more details on that melqart?
If he's alone I might be able to kill him.

Sure, he's currently in 192 with frost brand, amulet of luck, boots of flying, and bracers of protection. No afflictions, unfortunately.

Oops, looks like I ran into Vanheim's raiding party...

There go a perfectly servicable group of ghouls.

Nevermind, eh.

Thanks for the cash, I should have enough for a few turns now. I'll retake Northia if you like, but I can't exactly use it for much - my economy is basically in tatters, I have no use for resources, and it doesn't make that much cash. I also can't hold onto it - you keep it for the time being.
