Decline 10: New Blood for the Feast

[Matalarata]

I'm in need of an extension guys, I've got guests staying at my house for a couple of days and my work/play schedule went to fuck. Terribly sorry...
I may be able to sneak a quick turn in tonight but to be 100% sure I'll need a whole day, untill tomorrow 19 GMT.

 

[sqeecoo]

No problem, extended!

 

[noisenerd]

Hey guys, sorry for the absence, internet was down here for a couple of days. Handy thing about this pbem thing, I was able to send my turn from a friend's computer.

Thanks for the backup, sqeecoo !

The grand caravan marches ever onward, colossal Crushers interspersed with lowly men. Through the wastes, past the great city of Man, and into the deep dark of Valanis. What horrors await, few can say.

Spoiler

Some have seen demons flitting about in the shadows, darting between the stalactites. Others have seen more sinister beings.....or so they say....vampires.

Spoiler

Still, hunger pushes a man to places he would otherwise not go, and these men are very hungry indeed.


What of the home front you ask, dear reader?

Come to me, my brothers. There is much work to be done in preparing our new icy realm of Bogarus for the end of days.

Spoiler

The devils speak in unison now: "Play us another song mortals, this time from the shadow among you"

Gah! I'm not long for this world. Poor ol' Zartanna. No wait, poor ol' idiots who trusted her in the first place.

Anyways, this is getting pretty awesome, as always. I've learned so much.... so... when... can I get... revenge another chance at redemption?

Here on 'Dex, anytime you want. Just go on and host a new game, it's simple as that!

 

[noisenerd]

Gah! I'm not long for this world.

I think I'm with you.

Well, I *might* do that. Just as bravely as you did when you started this one, noisenerd ! But I uh, don't know what we should play. I'd love some crazy NatGen action, but that is understandably not everyone's cup of tea. Perhaps a team game? No wait, there's Decline 12 already...

.... Hmmmm *ponders*. I'll think about it. In the meantime, carry on! This is approaching its climax.

 

[Grimwulf]

Can we make a 4h extension? The turn timer creeps closer with each passing turn.

 

[Matalarata]

Yes, sorry! My turn is actually ready, I hadn't submitted because I was waiting for a diplomatic answer, today I forgot and I just discovered yesterday's rain made a mess at my workplace, going there now...
Results: I won't be home for some time due to work (this was my free sunday ), pls extend timer and keep fingers crossed for me.

 

[sqeecoo]

Ayah, postponed by 6h!

Do you need more Matalarata?

 

[Matalarata]

Thx, noble Conductor. Nope, should be enough... Situation here is so dire it enters the "fuck this shit, I'm out" territory I'll be back soon-ish.

Now if only KoolNoodles could answer my PM question I'd be able to make some informed choices, before submitting.

 

[KoolNoodles]

I answered....I think?

 

[Matalarata]

Yes, now you have!

 

[Grimwulf]

Muty, bro, enough is enough. If you lost interest or smth, I'm sure somebody out there will be happy to sub. 10 stales in total, not even funny anymore.

 

[KoolNoodles]

I will sub, somebody take Bogarus.

 

[Lizzurd]

I will sub, somebody take Bogarus.

May I?

 

[Grimwulf]

May I?

Right, and Lemuria will be taken over by Zephyr Arsland. And everybody will be happy!

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

I thought you couldn't sub in the same game you were playing. I know it's not written anywhere, but it's one of those notions you find lying around and never bother questioning. Otherwise, I'd have volunteered to sub for Muty.

The idea of getting out of being steamrolled as Ulm just to get steamrolled as Lemuria is an intriguing one.

EDIT: Waitaminute perhaps it IS written somewhere!

 

[noisenerd]

Postponed by 4 hours in the hopes of hearing from Muty ... do we need to extend the turn length? I noticed I wasn't the only one who squeaked in at the final hours. I'm still good with 48 hrs. as long as my connection cooperates, just making sure everyone else is good.

I would rather have Muty say so before we find a sub, but if he disappears I guess we'll go for it.

 

[Grimwulf]

do we need to extend the turn length?

48h is perfect for me. Maybe not so much for overgrown Atlantis - it takes a lot of micro to operate a nation of such scale.

Waiting for Muty is like believing water. Makes no sense.

Spoiler

He's still a bro

 

[Matalarata]

believing water

You meant "drinking", right?

Transcript of my thoughts while doing the turn

"I'll move those there. Like, there."
"Why the fuck this is here. Let's move it there."
"I like where this one is. Let's keep it where it is."
"Ohh, shiny."
"Why this mage is here. What I was thinking. I don't remember."
"Uhhhh. Gosh, another Archdevil. I swear, they grow like fungus. Ohh, another Fallen Angel. Ohh, another stack of Devils. *cries*"
"Dafuck is C'tis doing"
"ULM LIED TO ME, THE PRETENDER IS A FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD"

Plus I don't have to manage an humongous Blood Hunting operation and tons of summons/forging every turn

Makes my workload easier


And for today lesson about "Little Dominions Things" I'll share a small stupid thing I found: so, I got this site:

Fairly generic, nay? Nay. Studying some random book that I need to read for reasons:

....as the expression "wan wu" ("Ten Thousand Things"), a traditional Chinese way to refer to the totality of the beings that populate the world, of the aspects and the processes in reality....

If this was any other game, I won't think about such a thing. But it's Dominions, and insane refs are their job.

"Dafuck is C'tis doing"

Derping. You could have asked...
