2008-09-10 22:08:00 - mcred: As I see it green lost the majority of their armies for no gain, whereas blue got Ruhn and 9 territories. That's great tactics on blue's part.
2008-09-10 22:11:09 - mcred: But not so good for green IMO. The fact that it was to my disadvantage is not relevant, although it did suck for me. But then whoever is leading in a game has to expect attacks from all sides, so I'm cool with that.
2008-09-10 22:11:32 - mcred: Anyway my lead only really came about because yellow and pink were squabbling.
2008-09-10 22:12:07 - mcred: So I can't claim superior tactics or anything. Anyway, its still an interesting game!
2008-09-10 22:50:12 - NewVEmpire: yes blue gained an advantage but without acting you would have surely won the game in a few more turns, therefore i had no choice.
2008-09-10 23:27:14 - mcred: Perhaps you over-committed to the task? If you had left more for blue to do you might have gained more?
2008-09-11 00:19:06 - realmss: well he 'gained' not losing immediately :D
2008-09-16 00:03:17 - mcred: Lexie, what is your problem, this is what you did to DWSS... but perhaps that is your tactic. To me it looks like it leaves you vulnerable.
2008-09-16 01:06:06 - lexie3000: I think you made a mistake in taking Lorien when my intentions were clearly directed at snuffing DW. It certainly didn't endear me to you. Then, if you'd managed to secure Gondor my position would have been completely untenable.
2008-09-16 01:11:45 - lexie3000: I've never had an advantage in this game - being stuck in the middle is not a good place to be. Anyway, it's up to green and blue to decide who wins and who they take through as the second qualifier - their team mate if I'm not mistaken.
2008-09-16 01:18:02 - lexie3000: flat rate games are always invariably so political
2008-09-16 08:28:37 - mcred: well, I'm sorry you hold a grudge... there were plenty of plays like that earlier in the game
2008-09-16 08:29:16 - mcred: i did not leave any armies in lorien, so you could have taken it back over several turns if you'd wanted
2008-09-16 09:24:37 - lexie3000: well i did get around to it, but you were clearly intent on rolling me back out of the game. look back to your move in r25 and then where you were at r30. no grudge on my - part merely reaction, why didn't you try to regain your position in Rhovanion?
2008-09-16 11:21:56 - realmss: what a waste of troops red
2008-09-16 11:22:29 - realmss: i cant stop green forever
2008-09-16 21:53:46 - mcred: good point lexie, but I think there was substantially more strength in Rhovanion by blue than in Mordor / Gondor.
2008-09-16 21:54:48 - mcred: I thought you would have to face more attacks from green, but perhaps they were too weak after doing all the work for blue...
2008-09-16 21:56:15 - mcred: mind you that seems to have worked out well with green almost having Eriador.
2008-09-16 21:57:30 - mcred: and realmss i don't want you to be able to stop green forever...
2008-09-17 00:24:24 - lexie3000: gg red
2008-09-17 00:33:06 - lexie3000: well, I wasn't expecting much and as it turns out that's was just as well because my position is still no better than it was - you guys still have the advantage of deciding the outcome.
2008-09-17 03:51:51 - mcred: thanks lexie, a pleasure playing you. perhaps blue and green will be too wrried about each other attacking from the rear to make a concerted effort to knock you over...
2008-09-17 06:56:17 - lexie3000: parting shot eh - lol
2008-09-17 08:58:45 - lexie3000: if it was a matter of points i'd rather lose to blue than green
2008-09-17 10:07:17 - realmss: still on about green doing all the work for me. lol
2008-09-17 23:36:07 - NewVEmpire: hmmm i get talked about alot, usually to draw attention away i believe
2008-09-17 23:36:45 - NewVEmpire: i think you're both in significantly better positions
2008-09-18 01:14:27 - lexie3000: well actually NV, of the three of us I'm in the weakest position - not you
2008-09-18 01:17:18 - lexie3000: in fact no matter which way i look at it I'm pretty much stuffed
2008-09-18 04:41:19 - lexie3000: btw realmss it was mcred who was on about green doing all the work for you. It wasn't me. Have a look back at - 2008-09-10 23:27:14
2008-09-18 11:46:56 - NewVEmpire: yeah i guess having 3 of 7 bonuses is a real bad position to be in, i wouldn't want to be you ha!
2008-09-18 21:45:28 - lexie3000: NV - you're in a stronger position than me - no doubt about it.
2008-09-19 01:55:07 - realmss: yeah i was referring to red when i said it
2008-09-19 01:56:01 - realmss: dagorland was brutal
2008-09-19 01:56:48 - realmss: pink you have the best spot
2008-09-19 01:57:04 - realmss: 4 borders with 18 bonus
2008-09-19 04:53:38 - lexie3000: you guys are a real puzzle. i've fought this entire game from a crap position and despite what you think it's still the weakest on the map. i'd really like to know what you think i should do. how about some advice?
2008-09-19 20:00:40 - Iron Maid: I think you did a smart move
2008-09-19 20:19:45 - lexie3000: at least one vote! Thanks Iron Maid. Unfortunately I rushed my fort. oh well
2008-09-19 21:49:47 - NewVEmpire: sorry realmss as much as i'd rather go through with you i had to get this game finished even though lexie will now likely win despite all the throwing off the scent tactics
2008-09-20 04:52:24 - lexie3000: I still think it's yours NV. realmss missed his chance by hitting me. if he'd hit you instead i would have have backed him. btw, who would you vote for if the general election was held today?
2008-09-20 08:47:31 - Iron Maid: Well you are both through to Stage 2 now
2008-09-20 10:24:17 - lexie3000: congrats NV - well played
2008-09-20 20:24:54 - NewVEmpire: probably national but i haven't looked into it as much as i would've liked
2008-09-20 20:25:08 - NewVEmpire: congrats to you also lexie
2008-09-21 05:29:50 - lexie3000: Labour have lost the plot
2008-09-21 05:46:16 - NewVEmpire: cheers all, nice game lexie
2008-09-22 07:31:06 - realmss: wtf
2008-09-22 07:31:17 - realmss: why in gods name did you both attack me at once
