I need to request a turn extension. An extra 24 hours should do.

If any of my neighbours are concerned about the incredible increases in my army graph, that's Triton's so I can continue my uncontested conquest of the seas.

Also, will 80 triton crap + 60 triton Guard defeat ~30 icythid and icythid warriors? I don't know my sea troops too well.

Also, I'm still looking to purchase Air gems and Nature gems; I have Fire, Earth, and Blood to trade away (plus a tiny bit of astral, but I'd prefer saving that).

Public Diplomatic Cable from Ulm:

As a primarily coastal nation, we will NOT look kindly upon any attempt to conquer all the sea areas - particularly areas adjacent to our core provinces and capital.

I won't put any troops in them, and I'll concede 78 to you once you can get into the water to take it (like; a single commander), but I've raised an army, I'm going to extract profit as long as I can.

Zinegata · Post by **Zinegata** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 1:12 am

We can get to the water already, but not in force to defeat the indies. Also the two areas that border our core areas are 38 (Amaranthine, which border like one third our whole nation) and 78 (Rialto).

Ulm will frankly ask that your underwater domain extend up to 86 and no further. A foreign power controlling the Amaranthine or the Rialto is not tennable for us.

Zinegata · Post by **Zinegata** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 2:29 am

Also, an Ulm-Mart Update.

We will also now sell Dwarven Hammers for 18 Fire apiece (in addition to the standard offer of 40 Blood Slaves apiece). Why 18? Because Fire is generally less valuable than Earth.

PM if interested.

What if I clear through 78 to get to 8, but leave 78 empty so you can take it with whatever water power you have?

Zinegata · Post by **Zinegata** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 7:12 am

Again, our position is that 38 and 78 may not belong to a foreign power. You've only discussed 78 (Rialto)

Or did you mean to say that you will clear out 38 (Amaranthine) on the way down south and you will leave it empty for Ulm to take? Please clarify.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 8:15 am

I don't think I need to go into 38 at all, though I'm doing this by memory?

One is like, a bay on the inside of islands, no need to bother. Clearing through 78 and then grabbing 8, then? If you beat me to it, there'll be no hard feelings.

Also, I can guarantee I'll have trouble with my Friday/Saturday turns; can I get +72 hours added on both Friday and Saturday, with the assumption that I'll get them in as I'm able (IE, this is better than staling, better than roleback?)

Thanks, and sorry about that. Debate tournament which I am seriously trying to win (as it will be my last) + my birthday.

Zinegata · Post by **Zinegata** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 8:28 am

Dude, look at the map first, then tell me your plan. Again, 38 or 78 belonging to a foreign power is not going to make Ulm happy. If you're gonna leave them free of troops or give them to us or whatever, fine. But look at the map first then formulate your proposal. Otherwise there will be confusion.

Was away from my computer, sorry. Replying with actual things here now

I'm taking Caelum's last two provinces and the Knight province next to their capital, so don't enter them unless you want to have your forces eaten by tiger demons (and you want to become my next target).

The rump state of Caelum congratulates Lanka on putting us out of our misery.

Sauromatia is willing to sell blood capacity. We will sell 50 blood slaves for 30 other gems.

Nom nom nom.

Did anyone take up Caelum's Kanly in exchange for Air gems?

I guess I should have put that in bold, since I just double staled and no one seemed to notice. Going to look at the turns and figure out how to recover from this.

Sorry:

1. I literally got married this weekend and didn't really check the thread that carefully.

2. If you have a general request for a turn delay, never put it after two paragraphs of province negotiation with another player. Because I definitely stopped reading that post the moment it started in on back and forth about water provinces. I suspect that like everyone except Zinegata did the same.

I honored angelfromanotherpin's request because it was stand alone, and not hidden in the middle of targeted diplomatic correspondence to someone else. Again, sorry about that.

Very congratulations, Frank.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Mon Mar 05, 2012 6:04 am

Nope, totally reasonable, my own fault for lack of clarity in formatting.

Your literally getting married is excellent. Congratulations.

Zinegata · Post by **Zinegata** » Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:27 am

Congratulations Frank!

We should all attack him now so he has more time to spend with the wife

Congratulations on your nuptials.

I may be delayed in submitting my next few turns due to local weather conditions. A short extension for the next couple of turns would be appreciated.

Anyone have Water gems they want to trade? Please PM - Ulm is willing to buy by trading other gems or items.
