Decline 10: New Blood for the Feast

[Zephyr Arsland]

Hey my good friends (and eventual enemies). I'm in dire need of an extension. A 24h hour one, in fact. I have urgent family business 3500 km away from home. I brought an old MacBook with me to keep playing, but I'm already on the road and haven't even installed the darn game yet. If you find it in your hearts... (Or don't worry, I'll stale. Nobody ever died from stalling once) Thanks!

Done. Spend some quality time there.

 

[noisenerd]

Thanks again for the catch, Grimwulf .


And safe travels to you, Zephyr Arsland , hope everything turns out ok.

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

Thank you all for the good vibes! I'll be back in game soon.

 

[sqeecoo]

Mayday, mayday! Looks like we may have a stall incoming from Pangea. Shall we start the holiday extensions early?

 

[Grimwulf]

Last time we extended 12h, and Pangaea still didn't submit.



Edit: but you can decide yourself.

 

[sqeecoo]

Hm. Well it's not my decision, but my vote would go to set the holiday extension now since we are probably gonna do it anyway, and stalls are no fun. But admins/game creator/popular vote should decide.

 

[Grimwulf]

Well it's not my decision

You have the pass. Actually, half of the players have a pass. Also, what holiday? It's only 23rd, a whole week til New Year.

 

[sqeecoo]

Nope, no pass for me

 

[Dayyālu]

This mythical "half of the players" seems to be the less active ones. Senseless to give the password to those who don't bother to check.

Give him 12 or 24h, not everyone is lucky and has a lot of free time in the festivities. Consider it a gift.

EDIT: Aaaaand stale. We should be a bit more careful, even if the someone does not ask directly.

 

[sqeecoo]

My mom picked Luck 3 for me at creation. But had to take Sloth 3 to get it

 

[Grimwulf]

Postponed 1h. Last time I postponed 12, although Muty didn't ask for it, which resulted in everybody waiting 12h and Pangaea staling anyway.

Besides, nothing wrong with Pan's stale. Lemuria deserves a fighting chance, I say.

Let noisenerd, Zephyr Arsland and Lizzurd extend if they want to. I only do it when the player asks.

Edit: well, shit. Didn't make it.

 

[noisenerd]

Damn, sorry guys! Things are really crazy for me right now, and it shows no sign of letting up. I'm gonna postpone the current turn 24 hrs., if we manage to get our turns in before that, cool, but I really don't know when/if I'll get time. Could happen today, but it might not, and it's up in the air after that too.

If anyone needs more time, please do speak up. I usually at least get a few minutes here & there to play with, and to be honest I'm more likely to pop in here than to remember to check the game page.

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

I'm finally at the (southern) end of the American continent. I know I've been a horrible co-host, haven't checked the game page in like... forever. So um, sorry guys.

Thanks for the patience and whatnot. Happy holidays!

THanks man, I was being stupid. I thought that I will have enough time yesterday to get back to my place and submit my turn.

 

[Grimwulf]

This thread is dying faster than Mictlan's dominion. Let's help dem turkey people, men.

A prayer to Bloody Mary!

 

[Dayyālu]

Meanwhile, in Atlantis...

Man, man, what's a Deathclaw?

You can't be serious. You don't know what's a Deathclaw?

I never got around to play the old ones. The interface is shit, you see, and...

Don't. Speak. To. Me. Again. About. Fallout.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Pardon me if I lose my "gamer cred" with ya. Have you checked the border reports lately? I was a bit distracted and...

Will do. Let's see.....

........ There is only one rational thing to do.

Spoiler

WE ARE DEAD SO SO DEAD

 

[Dreaad]

I'll slay Grimwulf myself in one of these games. Now.... please don't kill me in Decline 11.

 

[Grimwulf]

Public declaration of war incoming.

Unholy creatures of Atlantis. Speaking on behalf of Marignon and the Inquisition, I hereby declare war upon your nation. The dominion of your false god brings death, and that makes you no better than Lemuria, or even long-dead Empire of Ermor. The population in your provinces dies rapidly, and Marignon will not tolerate this. We are the God-chosen defenders of people, and we WILL protect them from your foul influence! You can expect our righteous army to cross the borders as soon as our Non-Aggression Pact expires. However, Marignon offers you a chance to avoid the bloodshed. Withdraw all your forces stationed in Fanglia and Lomark now. Surrender these provinces without resistance, so that Marignon can save the local population before it's too late. Do that, and I give you my word that you won't see Marignon attacking you again. Refuse - and be annihilated. Make your choice, abominations, and do it fast.

 

[Dayyālu]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

We are ded. So so ded.

What if we give them the provinces?

Uhnnnn.... in exchange for what? He wants a Throne province and then to eat TC's cap while TC is fighting against Lemuria. 'cause a newb player is easy to conquer or something. Plus he's making random and clearly wrong assumptions about a Death dominion (it's minimal, bro, and it's thematic!)

Damn damn damn damn. What should we do?

What we always do? Die a lot while the others fail to organize properly and to deal with the 7-fortresses N9 Blood Nation? TALK TO THE MONKEYS DOWN IN DEPARTMENT 42! NO ONE EVER LISTENS! THEY THINK THEY CAN BEAT GRIMWULF ALONE!

We leave TC die and leave the Throne province? But so he'll get two caps! No one saved Arco either! We're so dead.

*cries*

 

[Lizzurd]

Dear Dayyālu

I am sorry to interrupt you, but I also have brought you some news. May it be known that some time ago I have formed an alliance against you. Now it is the moment to remove our masks and start the invasion! We don't wish to annihilate you totally, but each of us wants to grab a part of your lands. You have become too big threat, and now you must pay for it. We declare the war upon you!

If I may offer a suggestion - stygian rains works really well with Atlantean magic weapons and Marignon lack of such. Also obviously darkness and grip of winter.

You guys should totally gang bang Grimwulf more instead of like me...

Thanks. Research is difficult, but I nonetheless tried to reach some objectives with Atlantis.

Beats me why they keep alive Marignon, but Grimmie is a pleasant chap in diplo and I've not made a single aggressive move in the entire game, so I guess they feel it's safer. Hope it will not end like the Wasteland game, where everyone wanted to be smart and got steamrolled instead.

'cause they know better than poor, old Dayyalu. Or maybe Lizzurd is simply shitposting, by giving away precious suprise from his allies. Who knows! He's insane, after all.

You haven't played in difficult research for a long time, eh?

 

[Malakal]

Dunno, what turn is it?
