Bjorn to Raw
Hey there Raw, from across the map! I'm still trying to get over there so you can RIP me, but TFF is making it difficult. Xarfei is in the way as well, so it looks like it may be awhile before you can do your usual "RIP the VO guy" thing.
Still, I have not given up on my traditional exit in any game with Raw. Send me an email and we will see if we can agree on a province to meet up.

We should meet up somewhere on TFF's island? This way, we both have nothing really to fight for once we run them over. We can then call it a game and let UD, Funty and X battle it out.

Re: Bjorn to Raw
Sounds like a plan. You march East through TK, the "Godfather" of WOK, while I marshall my knights (well, maybe I should muster in more than a few archers for this campaign) for a march through Allister and we'll meet for tea in TKs starting city. First one there puts the kettle on!Raw wrote: We should meet up somewhere on TFF's island? This way, we both have nothing really to fight for once we run them over.

Re: Rut-Row. Party crasher at the door!
HEY, I am just looking for my shoeshine box. Donut took it from me earlier and all he would tell me on his death bed was "I lost it somewhere down there while fighting Allister and TK" so I have to go find it. You could make it alot easier on us all if you know where it is and return it to it's rightful owner ASAP.Allister Fiend wrote:

There's no need to fear...........

Recall Star Trek II, "The wrath of Kahn". I picture Kirk (William Shatner) as he is kicking the Klingon captain (Christoper Lloyd) off the cliff.Allister Fiend wrote: but now I have had enough.
"I ..... have had......enough.......of you!!!!!!
Let's see if your troopers have what it takes to kick me off of the cliff!

GAME COMMENTARY:
Another turn and more fighting around the map. Spells, GCA's and attacks, this time we get to see it all.
[Well, the GM gets to see it all. We only get to see the action in our small corner of the world.]
Thin King, the giant of the south, gets hit by a small spell from Xarfei and loses another province to Underdogs small force operating behind enemy lines. After this TK throws some GCA's at UD and then sends a big army charging into UD's lands. In 70 he meets up with UD's main army and after a big fight UD suffers an utter defeat to the attacking forces.
[No details? I guess we call him "Underdog" for a reason.]
Xarfei continues to grow slowly but surely and this turn adds yet another neutral to his empire but otherwise he manages to stay out of trouble.
[Trouble will find him soon enough.]
In the east the hard struggle between Allister Fiend and Bjorn Toulouse continues. Allister's small cut off force deep within Bjorn's territories endures. They lash out unsuccesfully but succesfully fends off an attack from Bjorn. On another front Allister moves up another big army and once again manages to drive Bjorn off the main land.
[For good this time. No way am I getting back to the mainland any time soon. Odds are I am going to need some help to drive out that rogue band on my island. I should show you the combat rolls for that one. I lost 5 armies and killed none. My armies suck.]
In the west finally both Raw and Funtastick continue to remain still on the outside and Raw continues to insist that he "sucks". We will see if he's correct or just being modest.
[Raw insists that Funtastick sucks? Those soundd like fighting words!]

I try to keep my commentaries as free of detail as possible in order to not give away someones position more than necessary. At the same time I do my best to make them at least somewhat entertaining so some details are still necessary.Bjorn wrote:In 70 he meets up with UD's main army and after a big fight UD suffers an utter defeat to the attacking forces.

A policy I endorse. I was never very fond of GMs who give details on things that are not common knowledge. Especially when it comes to actions against neutrals.Lord Fredo wrote:I try to keep my commentaries as free of detail as possible in order to not give away someones position more than necessary.

You do a fine job.

This is something I've been wondering about for Wookie. The only thing which can actually be seen from a map is successful attacks on provinces which were not then successfully attacked later in the turn. This would be very restricted, so it's fair to mention all successful attacks, but what about the ones which fail? What about missiles? I tend to mention both these things, but other GMs don't. Then there are things like "In 70 he meets up with UD's main army" in Fredo's commentary which I wouldn't put in but does make it less dry to read and maybe players should know how big a fight was. What level of detail should players "see"?
I seem to have rambled on without saying anything. Oh well. Opinions gratefully received on how much detail a report should have!

What happened was that I lost internet access for a couple of weeks and now that I have just gotten it back I am insanely busy at work pretty much working round the clock together with taking care of my home an family.
The game will start up again as soon as humanly possible.
I have not dropped a game yet and I do not plan on starting it.
Once again many apologies to all involved.
