Actually, there was drama. Zayuz posted the round end, then deleted it and posted another.

Well that is quite dramatic.

[Zayuz]

The main opener is ready, and the combat has been rolled. All that's left is to put it all in the opener and fill in some fluff.. But this might take a while. If anyone is curious to see how their battles went before the round opener you may check here.

[Kythia]

Yeah, I have quite a low threshold for considering things dramatic. It makes my life seem more exciting when I talk to people at the bus stop.

[TheDarkDM]

For future reference, everyone, it is generally considered good manners if you intend to start a war to do so as early as possible in the first week so that everyone has a chance to get a handle on things. It is also generally frowned upon to change how you're deploying your troops, attacking or defending, in the last hours before round close.

Wait, I'm the one who fought Berrium's Player, not that ranger dude.

Yeah, sorry about that. I had to compensate for the grey drieduch invading which came up rather suddenly. Also the latish declaration of war was a result of my deciding half way through the round that I was sick and tired of watching my allies disappear while I waited for this war to happen.

Although I also failed to notice or defend Bessinas attack so, you know, karma or something.

[Kythia]

So from a quick glance through it looks like a moderately good day for the CU, all told. And a good day for Transfirlia, meaning I can hand them over with a 100% success rate.

But wait, isn't Nettosomethingsomething 115?

I need to figure out what things are called in this area that I intend to conquer.

[HalfTangible]

Lord Summer Egan Oakburn vs Mary of the CU
Summer:(2d10+16)[21]
Summer Size Losses: None
Mary:(2d12+14)[33]
Mary Size Loses: Negated
Combat Losses:[Roll]1d4[Roll]

MARY, YOU TREASONOUS DOG! No!! D=

EDIT: And yeah, the CU did great. Eight wins/five losses by my count, and those against some pretty stiff rolls. Maybe I'll have a chance to fight after all!

Yeah that was a poorly picked name on my part and I also did a double take when I first saw it

Hey look, I was right!

I think that Lieutenant Jerry is the first commander in the game to get the place where he was supposed to go completely wrong and still manage to defend against a rather large invasion force of 5,000 hyena-people commanded by a quasi-Aeldir with a mil10 and a roll of 15.

Any chance that I could take him alive? I could use a commander like that.

Anyways wooli you did manage to defend against me. Somehow.

[Kythia]

Action economy is still going to rip them apart though. I don't think you will, HT

And then I checked Rando's actions and it all made sense.

I was invading that already.

*glances at Jerry, player of the Kingdom of Berrium*

Huh. That's two.

[Zayuz]

Dark helped me find some errors in the conquests! They are being updated for the round opener.

Dark rolled much higher on the conquest of Xeroas because I forgot to apply his Military bonus
Besina turned the slight win in Netto-fur-whatever it's called to a CRUSHING VICTORY
And finally, Transfirlia actually tied with Praetoria

[Kythia]

I'll take it. Still makes me the undefeated Queen of Transfirlia.

Rando actually did invade 115. It was the only thing in that cluster that he won and it's the one region that I made a move on as well.

Bad coordination on our part.

[RandoMan]

Woolli, so I can know for a potential writing piece how would noble prisoners of war be treated by the Onyx cultists? It seems Egan and Calvin may have ended up in enemy hands depending how losses are determined for Sir Blackhall and I'm intrigued to write a piece on their capture especially if they might be held together.

Edit: Also, my units in 115 were intended to reinforce Besina.

[moossabi]

Edit: Also, my units in 115 were intended to reinforce Besina.

Oh, thanks!

But TBH I doubt that; you sent your mil10 leader when I already had a mil10 leader at hand when he could've been used elsewhere to greater effect. It's more like a communication failure that I'll work harder to avoid in the future.

[Zayuz]

It grows late, and I'm afraid I've not actually finished the round update. I'll have to postpone it until tomorrow, but I promise everyone that this will be a really good one. Sorry guys.

I'm onto seventeen google docs pages if that means anything to anyone.

[DimpleLoamsdown]

servant of dreams the megalomaniacal death cult

FTFY

[DimpleLoamsdown]

FTFY

Most of what he will do will be based on visions.

[moossabi]

Okay then.

*moos quickly jots down notes on how to use his L10*

[TheDarkDM]

...of a megalomaniacal death cult.

[HalfTangible]

...of a megalomaniacal death cult.

To be fair, he's already being ruled by vampires. This is more of a lateral move in regards to 'megalomaniacal death cults.'

[BlazingAegis]

For the record, he is not being ruled by Vampires, he is being ruled by a vampire.

[PepperP.]

For the record, he is not being ruled by Vampires, he is being ruled by a vampire.

Actually, she is merely a suspected vampire as Raunchel had been made to keep her vampireyness purposefully vague before she got approval.

[TheDarkDM]

So really, the argument is whether the emphasis is on the megalomaniacal aspect or the death cult aspect.

It was meant to be equal parts megalomania and cultiness, I wasn't really putting emphasis anywhere.
