Nitpicks, going over last turn:
I4 has a pop of 2 (3 after the Bounty). And... Huh. I thought there was something else, but ten minutes of review can't find it. Oh well.
Got it. Changed. Thanks!
I'll be back tonight to make my post and hopefully update the game around midnight or a little after.
Uta, do me a favour and tell me how many times you smite each? Telling me the power used doesn't help me resolve combat and the turn.
Also, you caught me mid-turn! Now to rewrite things!
Sorry about that. Forums ate my post once, and cut me off at the hour mark, so there's two post instead of one...
But I'm done now!
That's fine. I know how that is.
Also, you messed up your power total: I took Warlord out of turn order. So you don't have to take him into consideration for who moved first.
Ah. I just guessed since I was going last. I'll make it up next turn... and that other bonus that you gave me, that I'm just now remembering... drat, could have gotten another army out there.
Okay Uta, that sounds fine.
I am going to give Iazamaz some time to post, becaues I really don't want him to miss out. If he doesn't get back to me, though, I will go ahead without him.
Hi guys, i'd like to inform you that i am bowing out of the game. I do not like where it has brought me and what it has come to. I do not enjoy what the game has become and am no longer having fun. I would like to say that it is not the fault of anyone here for making me lose interest, or that there is any one reason that i wish to bow out. I've simply come to find the system too tedious to keep up on a day to day basis, and struggle to find fun in such a system. I hope that you will respect my wishes, and i'm very sorry if i held up the game at any point.
Whooo... Okay, I guess I should have seen that coming. I didn't, so that's on me, but yeah, I didn't see Celios as another GMPC until now.
Hindsight, that should have been obvious. Sorry, Iaz, you were right.
And Warlord, dude, you were right too.
Still, with three of the remaining civs being GMPCs or near enough to them, this is going to be a slog to finish. Good luck to you, Darjuu, and Iaz and Warlord, if you're still in this.

Hey hey hey, Uta - I am sorry to give you any sort of impression whatsoever that Celios and I are conspiring. The only conspiracy I have with him right now is to bet on the outcome of an attack because I thought that'd be kinda fun to do.
He is not my sock puppet or anything of the sort. The only PC played by me is Fraemaour, which is clearly shown on the player page and which I spoke about during pre-launch discussion.
If you think I'm cheating, twinking, or doing anything shady, I sincerely, sincerely apologize, and hope you will tell me how I am doing that.
As it stands, though, I do not see anything that I've done as wrong. Grotar and I decided it would make sense to take you out from the perspective of the competitive game. This game is a game of war. The winner is he who accumulates the most points, primarily by attacking other players and building up huge armies and empires. That you fell under my attack is a consequence of this game strategy.
I thought I've been as fair as possible. I've distributed power for mistakes, I've built massive new areas on the board, punished myself for mistakes, and other such things. If I've given you a reason to think I'm power gaming in an inappropriate manner, I am sincerely sorry, but I don't see it.

Man, that really sucks. Are you for real about this? I would love to keep you in the game.
I really hate to lose you.
Uta, I am going out now, but I hope to see that tonight you've decided to stay in game.
Vote: Given the departure of Darjuu, Iazamaz, and potentially Uta, who would be interested in continuing the game?
I myself vote "nay". I'd prefer to start a fresh game if Uta leaves, though if we did continue, I think we need someone to come in to play.
This is only if Uta leaves. If he doesn't, play on says I.
I'm fine with starting fresh. I can probably rope some people together.
Either way, we should create an IRC channel or similar for strategy and alliance discussion next go 'round.
Unfortunately, I don't plan on continuing.I really don't see much fun in the game anymore.it was an awesome experience though, I'm just not too great on being forced to murder.

I understand. Not all of us are hardened war criminals like the rest of us.
We're all filthy RPG Nazis here! (I am kidding, of course.)
Or am I?
Ein Gott, ein (gras)Volk, ein Fraemaour!
Uta, are you for real leaving, or can we expect you to continue?
Oh, I'm still here. Its still a fun game, so far. I've just had RL issues that blindsided me and will be a problem for the foreseeable future.
Ok I am back in a bit of sporadic fashion while I get all my damned moving houses issues done, so how is everything going?
Uta: Oh, then great. Make sure everything is set, then.
And Warlord: It's going a bit rough, but not bad. We're apparently finishing the game - which is nicer than I had expected.
Hey guys, sorry for being distracted this weekend.
Let's be sure to post things soon.
I am going to make my turn by tomorrow night. Let's keep this goin'!
Scratch that: By -tonight- when I come back from work.
Hey guys, so sorry. Was super busy. I must tend to matters, as the game is stagnating.
I will be posting by Friday (tomorrow) morning.
