~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, you each have 12 territories.

You will now place 45 troops and 2 Leaders. Please note that each territory has a minimum garrison of one, so you only really have a choice for 33 of the troops.

I would suggest you also acquaint yourself with the terrain... you don't want to wedge some troops in a corner that they can't get out of because the only exit is through friendly territory.

Please PM your placements to me when you finish them, they'll be due in... oh, a few days...

After everybody has placements in, I will update the map, and rerandomize everybody's order and we can get into the real game!

Alec I apologize for my lateness, I would do it now but I have to go to work, Ill send them in once I get home(its only a 5 hour shift)

No problem.

Just to clarify people, here's an example...

I have 5 territories and 35 troops to place. I have... Minas Tirith, Moria, Thangorodrim, Fangorn (Isengard) and Barad-Dur. So I have to put a min 1 in each, I have 30 free to place.

I would accept...
Minas Tirith: 10
Moria: 10
Thangorodrim: 5
Fangorn: 5

OR

Minas Tirith: 11
Moria: 11
Thangorodrim: 6
Fangorn: 6
Barad-dur: 1

Those would both mean the same thing (because I didn't clarify earlier). AS LONG AS THE NUMBERS ADD UP, I'LL FIGURE IT OUT

And for the record

"Leaders are in addition to troops. You have 45 troops and THEN 2 leaders. They don't count as a troop in combat ever, but they do give bonuses (see rules)"

6/11 orders in, let's finish it up and hope to get started soon. It'd be great if orders could be in by Monday night, but we'll wait til all orders are in. Just hurry peoples :)

Oh damnit. Bigtime internet and computer problems, I couldn't get to it. I'm on goddamn 26.6k right now... I'll figure everything out and PM the placements within a couple hours. I'm the last, right?
AlecTrevylan006

Don't worry about it, just get them in when you have the chance, Inle's been out of town without internet access

The boonies of North Florida to be precise. Closest thing I saw to the internet was an ancient and very heavy old laptop with a broken fan. I couldn't fix the fan and it would overheat then freeze and worse so even dial-up was not an option.

Ok. My orders are (finally) in. Now to Empire! We, we alone, shall be the lords of the unsullied Shininess, and masters of the bliss and the beauty of Arda!

that depends, do you expect to hold on to it?

if you do, then you under committed. if you don't, then you over committed

What can i say? "I shall return"?
are you the king or the governator?

And sorry guys, was out all day, I'll try to pull stuff together

I was thinking more along the lines of this bloke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_MacArthur). :tease: :shake:

Mergedit: Oh hi Alec.

July 1st, 2007, 12:03 AM
i guessed king simply because of the forum. i should have known it was a macarthur quote :(

my only response is this: "Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate sport fishermen. "

it's meaning has very little relevance here, but it will make sense one day

I've greatly toned down the importance of good/evil alignments, because it is somewhat extraneous, especially since we no longer have the time limit or points system. However, since some cards still require it (cards I really enjoy, huge game changers), I've decided to keep them in.

GOOD PLAYERS
Northern Lights, Michael., Lightning, Showsni, Spike, Victoria

EVIL PLAYERS
High Elven Ruler, Antony, Inlé_rah, Mike Jones., shortkut



I shall be sending out orders later today, but the PLAY ORDER SHALL BE...

~~Mike Jones.~~ BLACK
~~shortkut~~ GREY
~~LIGHTNING~~ LIME GREEN
~~Spike~~ PALE BLUE
~~MICHAEL.~~ GOLD
~~NORTHERN LIGHTS~~ ORANGE
~~ANTONY~~ PURPLE
~~SHOWSNI~~ WHITE
~~Inlé_rah~~ DARK GREEN
~~Victoria~~ RED
~~HIGH ELVEN RULER~~ DARK BLUE

I'll send everybody their starting cards tommorow, and then we can get started.

You can each chose how you'd like to do your orders... it'd be easiest if you guys could do it on me with AIM or MSN or IRC (let me know your preference and I'll log onto it) so that you can make your choices of when to retreat during battle and such without pausing.

AIM is fine for me Alec, I'm going to send you an IM momentarily so you have it.

I will be using PM's as well since the only time I get on MSN is to check my e-mail and play a game or two.
