Woo-Hoo.

Put some water on the boil for tea, TK. I'll be right over.

My old friend Bjorn,

Dont you remember what happened the last time you visited?

TK

My young friend TK;

The last time YOU came to visit ME after I let you play by yourself for about 6 turns. This time it will be ME coming to visit YOU, and much sooner than turn 06.

Those sure sound like excuses to me Bjorn.

One thing I wonder about - why is the Clan Champs now an X-Game?!?

TK

TK what makes an X-Game?

We got to pick the map and chose that one for a change of pace. The suggestion was made to give everyone enough corn to last more than 3 turns since there is no crop to begin the game. I don't see that it is an X-Game unless by giving out enough corn to last a few turns makes it that way. I don't think you need to worry about corn anyway you will be gone before you can use much.
Actually we could have started with 500 corn since I suspect that the Scholars won't use even that much before they are eliminated.

Fair point UD. It is the crop-less map that makes it an X-Game for me.

Anyway you put the wrong clan at the end there.

No, UD got the right clan.

LAST CHANCE:

Do you surrender now, or do we have to embarass you in front of all these people?

Who is embarassing whom?

Recalling past experiences, I expect both your clans to succumb quietly by about turn 5 or so.

Turn 1 is out, and yes, there was bloodshed.

Taker, I don't like you!

Well, no. Let's be honest here. I don't like the CoN bullies who are picking on me, but you're the one who's letting them do it! I'm probably going to get Egbert syndrome* now, staring at turn reports and maps working out which player to RIP first!

korexus.

*A rare WoK related malady, similar in symptoms to a brain tumour, but thankfully far less fatal - if no less irritating...

Hey Bjorn, it seems you got lost on your way to TK's house.

Looks like you ran into a wall (oh no, more walls!) instead.

I was never very good with directions.

It seems Egbert and walls just go together.

Look at all those workers busily chopping trees. An interesting development, but not unexpected. 80 wood = 10 catapults = .8 level boost. Of course, we have planned for that and hope to have a surprise for you.

What's the deal with offering your PUSHER spell to TK? I'm guessing that horde he has in his starting city will become a big time army real soon. I think you should sell him all your wood as well.

It also looks like The Scholars have the Hobgob bug too. An easy +10 EFF each turn. Let's see how it works out for you.

Calidus · Post by **Calidus** » Thu Oct 02, 2003 1:53 am

Nope, all that wood wont help you. Gravemaker has been busy genetically engineering a new hybrid termite. 8ft tall and hungry as hell....*shudders*

Hey Bjorn. I knew you would chicken out. You must have learned your lesson.

But Eg is no easier to defeat...

So it looks like TK vs Nesty in the north.

Hey CoN, how about a 10-turn NAP?

Turn 2 is out.

Bjorn · Post by **Bjorn** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 5:00 pm

Bah! My golem is my second unit to die in the battle. Even after that it was still close, with only 5 of Egberts units surviving.

I didn't get any RED gems on my first mining attempts either, which prevented any of my spells from being created on turn 02.

Sometimes you just can't catch a break.

Still, the Scholar's plan of upgrading troops right away was vastly superior to my attempts to mine and use magic to counter them. Good fortune follows good play.

I have nothing left, so I will just watch the end game.

Dont tell me this is going to end in a 5-0 win for the Skulkers !

What a humiliation for CoN !!

Post by **ThinKing** » Sun Oct 19, 2003 3:52 pm

That makes us respectable again after losing 5-0 last year, to BoV.
