Oh...

Well...

Can I request a ship in here, then? Oh, grand Megas!

(I am not meant to be a brown-noser...)

Well TC banned official IC stuff in here since he didn't want it getting lost in the spam.

But you can ask nicely by PM. And Mak likes mint tea. And back rubs.

[Motep]

No tea for you!

[Privateerkev]

No tea for you!

[Motep]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Cecil XIX]

I find it interesting that between mint tea and backrubs, Andronikos wholeheatedly reject the tea.

[Motep]

*sigh*

No backrubs, either!

[Privateerkev]

You sound disappointed...

And we should probably abandon this line of joking before ATPG wanders in here...

[Motep]

*shivers*

Good idea

[Privateerkev]

Ah, I see you've learned the first rule of survival in LotR...

Love the story Ramses.

And I have never seen a better use of the pharaoh smiley at the end.

[rossahh]

What the...???

I come and check the forum 1 day later and now there's 6 new pages of discussion to sift through.


Someone's been a naughty boy...

Actually I see nothing wrong with what PK did. English is a terribly complex language.

My favourite example is when my students ask me a question and I say negative/no/incorrect. They are all different with both different meanings and conentations, but they are all perfectly acceptable responses to indicate an incorrect answer.

Kag...

I am not pleased.

Please do not ever do that again.

Guys, me "reclaiming" things is not something you can test me on. It isn't up for OOC debate. It is a "rule" and can not be defied.

Kag moved units I specifically forbid him from moving and then tried to creatively get around it by claiming HA were archers. I guess he thought if the HA weren't cav, he could legally hold onto the Alan Cav. Well, he can't. If a Megas reclaims something that is not in a locked army at the beginning of the turn, it is reclaimed. If it was meant for an army, and it's absence leaves the army understrength, the Megas only needs to recruit something to bring the army up to code. Which I did.

I am getting sick and tired of the rule breaking in this game. This wasn't a "loophole." Kag knew it was against the rules because he obeyed them a couple turns ago when I asked him to leave behind something reclaimed.

So, since a rule was broken, I retook the save and fixed it.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Since Efstathios died unexpectedly then I'll use this and take some time off.
Hope this doesn't cause any problems for you.
Tristan should be happy.. He can keep Efstathios' army since.. well.. Efstathios is dead

[_Tristan_]

In fact I'm sorry for your loss...

Who will call me a killer now ?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I kind of miss Efstathios already

I think Annios will have a big big party in Alexandria once he hear the death of Laskaris

[Privateerkev]

IK, our men are Jedi but they aren't "that" Jedi...

Sorry for your avatar's loss. It sucks when they go unexpected...

[_Tristan_]

Perhaps Methodios set a bad example, going alone against numbers plenty of times... The fact is I chose my fights well...

A bit too reckless, IK ?

[Privateerkev]

I hope you enjoy your time off and come back to us IK.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Actually.. I almost won the battle the next time I fought it.. it was after I posted the save..
If those mamluks weren't there then I would've won.. I managed to rout those Nubians and kill the archers but after that I didn't had enough men to finish the mamluks..
I'm talking about the second time I tried that battle of course..

I just thought that reloading the save,after Efstathios died, is bad bad bad and I didn't do it..

I know it's easy to "monday morning battle report" this but why didn't you retreat?

[OverKnight]

Tough break, I hope you decide to play again.

Maybe when you come back we'll have cannons, . God I loved having cannons.

[Privateerkev]

You didn't seem to love the elephants having cannons...

[OverKnight]

Yes, but I had my own cannons. When you make Elephants run amok at range, they have nothing to trample but their own army.

[Privateerkev]

Very true...

Thats why I try to get cannon towers by the time the Timurids show up.

[pevergreen]

Just a note, I may not be functiong rationally for a while. Lets see if I can keep myself under control.

Coming close to stopping play. Hope I dont.

[_Tristan_]

I've just seen I never posted the battle report for Belgrade, so many yeras ago bacause I waited on TLG to give his permission to use Neokaisareitis in the report..

Now he is gone, the report is up for those who want to check...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I know it's easy to "monday morning battle report" this but why didn't you retreat?

Because the bodyguard unit was stuck in those archers and then those nubians came and the bodyguards just could move.. And then the Mamluks came..
At least I saved the Skythikons by ordering them to retreat

[Rowan]

Sorry to hear about Efstathios. The crusade wasn't kind to the Asteri...

The Jedi BG are a fickle beast. They can be completely awesome one minute and swamped by spear militia the next. I started an SP Byzantine campaign a while ago and decided to start with a blitz ala LotR. End result: 2 out of 5 generals dead in AI sallies.
