Skanky Burns · March 31, 2004, 03:53

My city list needs to be updated.

Also, shouldn't MrBaggins be eliminated by now? He hasn't put orders in for several turns now.

Orders will be sent within 90 seconds (damn flood control)

Jamski · March 31, 2004, 03:58

Its a shame I got eliminated early by a ghost spy

This game looks nicely balanced.

Skanky Burns · March 31, 2004, 04:32

Balanced?

GeneralTacticus · March 31, 2004, 04:34

Regarding Mr.Baggins: he did say he wasn't going to be able to take part, so I'm leaving his two remaining cities aside in case he decides to come back. If the game ends before he does, those cities will be ignored.

Skanky Burns · March 31, 2004, 04:38

Fair enough. I would request he notifies us he is in the game before rejoining if he does so though.

DrSpike · March 31, 2004, 06:40

Hehe nah he can just come back on the final round, nuke one person and win.

Hercules was the one to lose cities today, as Spaced Cowboy dropped one nuke each on Xoom and Woom, destroying them, while one of his spies blocked Herc's return strike. Meanwhile, Skanky Burns was working on an unknown project.

DrSpike · April 1, 2004, 06:07

Spaced you are letting Skanky position himself to outpower you when there are two of you left.

Skanky Burns · April 1, 2004, 07:04

But unlike some other allies, I don't backstab my pact-mates.

DrSpike · April 1, 2004, 07:11

For god's sake it was the last nuke of the game.........I'm sure you and SC are going to fight it out also.

My action was nothing like as bad as your breaking our treaty on the first turn.

Skanky Burns · April 1, 2004, 07:24

I planned to end that game in a coop victory, and I plan the same for this one.
You analyzed that move of mine sometime during the last few games, so you do know the reason why I did it. Besides, my orders were already sent when I made that pact.

DrSpike · April 1, 2004, 07:29

I don't think co-op victories should be allowed.........it's against the spirit of NW.

Skanky Burns · April 1, 2004, 07:48

How so? The first NW was faction versus faction.
You didn't object to coop when it was you set to win from it either.

DrSpike · April 1, 2004, 07:56

Yeah but the factions were never meant to win as a group.......it was always about eliminating the opposition then infighting. That was my impression anyway.

Yeah, that has been occuring to me for the last few turns. Unfortunately, I do not see any other way around it. The nuke from Herc took me out of this game. For that he will pay.

When it is down to me and the Skankster, then we will battle it out. He has been a good ally in this game. If he wins, then I don't really lose.

Orders sent! Same as last time, right Skanky?

Skanky Burns · April 1, 2004, 11:02

Negotiations entered into privately.

GeneralTacticus · April 2, 2004, 03:59

Hercules narrowly avoided destruction today by hiding in his bunker, which absorbed two nukes each from Skanky Burns and Spaced Cowboy without harming it's contents. Shortly afterwards, newspapers began reporting that the head of a man known to work for Skanky had been posted outside Herc's government offices, looking rather the worse for wear.

Total Player Losses:

None.

Hercules · April 2, 2004, 06:09

Heah I am not sure about this pact business.

Which ever of the two of you I attacked was going to retaliate and even if I built a city or something either or both of you were going to attack me anyhow. I attacked Spaced because I thought he had gone missing but then he posted just afterwards.

Hercules · April 2, 2004, 06:22

Orders sent.

By the way if it all ends in a Nuclear Holocost for me I am pleased to have survived this far given my 10 ten day absence. I was pleasantly surprised that my order queue kept me in the game.

Both Skanky Burns and Hercules were reduced to 1 city each today, as Hercules dropped a full stockpile of 4 nukes on Skanky, while being hit by 2 in return. Meanwhile, Spaced Cowboy attempted to train a spy, but was foiled by Herc's spy.

Total Player Losses:

Hercules: 2 cities (1 left)
Skanky Burns: 4 cities (1 left)

Skanky Burns · April 2, 2004, 23:36

So, things have become interesting.
If it is a fight to the death then I must presume all alliances are off now.

DrSpike · April 3, 2004, 06:12

Nice one Herc. Now it's an exciting finish.

Hercules · April 3, 2004, 09:07

Yes Mr Baggins will win as last man standing.
