Yes, I've heard the chilli dogs can do that to you.

Turn 151

We bombarded Troubleshooter to 2%, then suicided two cats, then...
C3 Knight vs 5.3/6 CG3 LB 67%...

LOSS (3 hits)
C4 Knight vs 4.9/6 CG3 LB 85%... LOSS (2 hits)
C3 Knight vs 4.9/6 CG3 LB 73%... WIN (down to 0.5/10)
C2 Knight vs 4.9/6 CG1 LB 88%... WIN with 1.5/10 left
C2 Knight vs 2.4/6 CG3 LB 99%... WIN (took two hits!)
C1 Knight vs 1.7/6 CG3 LB 99%... FLAWLESS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111!

We got 110 gold but no buildings survived. The game is pissing me off now. Not only did we lose two Knights when the expectation was 0.67 Knights but the ones that survived barely did... The Knights that were earmarked for amphibious promos are all dead, so hitting the island city is going to be harder than we thought. I also used a mace to kill a spear that had attacked our injured HA.

Luckily I don't have to do any economic stuff this turn rolleye.

Stupid game.

Just to add, those 2 cats performed below expectations and got 0 & 1 hit in respectively. This lead to having only 67 % odds with our first knight and yeah, rest was reported by OH.. shakehead This game has been kicking us pretty bad lately, let's hope this slump ends at some point and there are still luckier days to come. On the other hand, we can't be too sad because Azza-Mardoc crisis was awesome to us and the fact that Mardoc has presented his troops on a plate already 3 times in this war is also pretty fortunate and makes up for some of that bad RNG luck.

And we also speculated in chat that xenu should be a lot angrier than us (and we would love to read a probable shitstorm in his thread) tongue Plako has now declared war against him and the prelude was this:

1. Xenu has a peaceful relation with Oxy
2. Oxy is replaced by CH
3. CH declares
4. Plako piles

I don't know if that was going to happen anyways and CH is acting according to Oxy's instructions or what, but I'm sure that I would be interpreting that in a worse possible way and throwing furniture out of my window if I were xenu mischief

Btw, OH, dtay is 1-turning RP? yikes We totally can't afford this f*cking 2-turn anarchy.
Finished:
PBEM 45G, PB 13, PB 18, PB 38 & PB 49

Top 3 favorite turns:

alright

PBEM 62 spoilers:

If it's any consolation, I just lost about five 50% shots dazed forced on me in PBEM 62 and won one of them. When your forces on hand consist of only seven units, that's semi-disastrous. Still, I can tell you guys are frustrated about the game and I don't want to make light of that. Is there anything I can do to help? I know I haven't had much advice for a week or two (if it's any encouragement, it's because I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've done), but I still thought I'd ask. In any case, know that I know how it feels to be frustrated with a game, and that I'm with you guys; hang in there.

Thanks THH, beyond hacking into Cal's server with an axe I'm not sure what you could do to help... But having someone to vent at is great! thumbsup

Some slightly better news is that BGN took a city off Mardoc - if it's the island then that's great for us, it means we just need to finish off his mainland holdings to be free of war weariness.. I'm logging in to check.

Yep, Boldly did us a favour...


I'm hoping his generosity will extend to killing the galleys that Mardoc has to the north of Troubleshooter and SE of Blue before they pillage all our lovely new nets...

We don't have OBs with BGN, so our Galley is a bit hemmed in and I'm not sure how we'll scout him effectively. please can we have a great spy?

Why not use regular spies? Or are they banned?
