The Discussion Thread at Dawn!

Now I wish we had a die-rolling emote.

I don't think any of us know how this will turn out.

[Polycarp]

Well, I might.

[Stargate525]

Nope, not even you! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

...Please don't penalize me...

[amikaligula]

I do, too.  It was all revealed to me by the runes.  Cannibal cabbage!  Who saw that one coming?

[Polycarp]

I seem to have everything I need, so the update should be out in the next few days.  Big changes ahead - at least one player nation gets annihilated ("at least" because the update isn't done yet!).

[Stargate525]

buh-buh-bah-duh, bah-buh-duh-buh-duh-buh-duh...

[Wensleydale]

Buh, buh, bah-duh, bah, bah-duh bah-duh bah-duh.

My bets are on me or the League of Free Captains, although come to think of it, Inveran might fall too.

[snakefing]

Hey, Kashtu is caught between Kuregn and Celend, we could be crushed like a circus peanut under an elephant's foot. (If they choose to...)

[Stargate525]

So the Machta did trigger the Machta-Inveran war? Huzzah.

My money's on Nargaq. Cause of Death, final push from the Auri and her allies.

[amikaligula]

That's my bet, too.  Also, as the Auri fleet was by Andosen waters and we were attempting to aid the Nargaq, I read "At least one...I'm not done with the update" as mithy carp hasn't decided whether or not to have the Auri attack and destroy Andos.  I didn't even think of the conflict between the other two empires...well, we shall all know soon enough...I like ellipses...

OOOOO...I'm on the edge of my seat...

[Tillumni]

aww, I hope Andosen gets out of this one alive....perhaps just getting thier fleet smashed to campfire wood. they are too nifty neighbours to have (even if they give poor Mea stress from time to time)

I'm really excited about this one though..especially because we know that PM's have been floating around~....no pun intended.

[Stargate525]

So the current votes are...

Nargaq - 2
Machta - 1
Kashtu - 1
Andos - 1
Free Captains - 1

[Wensleydale]

And Inveran - 1. :P

[Polycarp]

It turned out to be just 1, though 2 if you count Arrania - I don't, as it's no longer a player state.

Really, though, Nargaq had a slim chance there.  A powerful enemy, and not one but two allies who ended up switching sides.

Also, Inveran got favorable results on the ever-so-secret competence tables for the first time ever, much to the Machta's chagrin.  Damnable named characters!

By the way, I release you from PM secrecy now - you can, if you want, talk about them.  Most were made pretty obvious by the posted events, though.

And I don't know why anybody voted for Kashtu kicking the bucket - the last thing either side wanted to do was make more enemies.  Kashtu might have had enough power to swing the direction of the war in one way or another.  Now that the balance of power has shifted, however...  Oops, I've said too much.  More update to come in the next few days.

Hey Carp, how fared my spearmen in the Auri stuff?
