My condolences.  I hope your mages can find a treatment for a poor memory.  Of
course, you've killed so many.  It must be difficult for a mass murderer to
remember all of his victims.

A turn after you arrived I learned from another faction that I was on the
PCP's 'hit list'.  I contacted you immediately.  I stated that I was a trade/
magic faction specializing in gadgets.  I offered to trade.  Your response
basically stated that you would not tolerate non-allied mages in the areas you
control.

I replied and asked for a turn to move my units out of the area.  I got no
response.

I did not state who my allies were.  You never asked.

> None of my units are trained in treachery.

Well, I have to say that they're pretty good at it.  Must be all the practice.

Hey, all of us restared factions have a bunch of time on our hands now.  Not
as many units to manage. ;)

"mass murderer", baloney. I would like to think that I carefully select my
targets, such as the unfortunate ex-Legate.   :)

You have to realise, there were a lot of factions around, and it takes time
to get things straight. If you didn't get a definate promise from me, then
it was up to you to chase things up, not me!

No, I mean if factions you had declared ally to were attacked, then your
units would have been drawn into the battle.

Ouch!  Touche, I guess. But if you read what you have written, you are not
accusing me of treachery (breaking my word), only of killing you!
If you had actually established contact way back then, you would have been
spared, you know, and actually protected from all the assassins and thieves
around Jaca.

What hear mine ears? Ex-Legate? The Republic, Rome and the Legate are still
alive and prosperous, thank you - despite scum attempts to the contrary.

Regards,

The Legate,

Any news on the turn front yet?  It's 10.30am GMT and no sign of my report yet!  The turn was run last night, wasn't it?

(If it's tommorow - even better!

What hear mine ears??? Has the Legate returned? It would be good to be up
against a worthy adversary again. These Romans have been dying all too
easily of late.

Hi all,

Has anybody gotten their report yet. I just tried to get mine with
"#send report last....", and I got last weeks report. I thought the
turn was run yesterday, but I might be wrong.

Ideas?

Ye Godes!  Do I hate Time Zones or what?

My Aussie buds have to stay up late so I can talk to them in the GMT
afternoon, just as my Yank buds are getting up!

It's a wonder how I organise ANYTHING?

Anyone receive their turn yet?  Or is it getting run tonite instead?

The turn is being run tonite folks - Geoff says :

I'm running the turn tonight (Tuesday). There is some
confusion, since I ran the last turn on Tuesday despite
announcing I would run it Wednesday, but this turn was
announced for Tuesday 2 weeks ago, so I want to stick
with that.

Nice fight!!!!!

It hurt me much more than it hurt you but it still cost you alot.

Why do we not make peace?  I wish to leave this area by boat.  I will move my units to the tundra to the sw of the city and build my boat and sail away.  This will not cost you any more troops.  I could just restart but i would prefer to go for a litle sail.  I have some units to the north but they are getting ready to build a boat as well.  I could sell you the units that will not fit on the boat?

What do you say?

Dean.
