and in my case it's called "I didn't read the other damn threads, much less keep up with the past games." :p

Wusses. Now your withdrawal will do naught save to strengthen Tritoch :(

Looks like Identity Crisis forgot to attack yesterday. No new results to report this morning. orion_mk3 might be a Warlord, but it depends on how his attacks on Tritoch go.

I won't be giving any items of the day today and tomorrow. The game is too close, and Plarom isn't around to use them, so I'd rather the winner triumph on his own.

-orionmk3 collects 15 gil as Warlord
-Identity Crisis and Tritoch use Shock & Awe to take Lake Michigan, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, and orionmk3 loses 1 turn.

In case anyone didn't know, orion_mk3 used Ninjas yesterday.

Wow, so few posts today. I'll go ahead and use three of my turns to lay siege to Wisconsin, Iowa, and Arkansas.

Let's also have a little nuclear fun by purchasing an atomic bomb to drop on New York with possible fallout in the following order:
- Lake Erie
- Pennsylvania
- Lake Ontario

Plarom attacks New Hampshire, Lake Michigan, Hawaii and Florida today.

-Tritoch drops an Atomic Bomb on New York, and the fallout drifts over Lake Erie

It's Father's Day today, hence the quietude. Anyhoo:

I'd like to purchase a Death Ray and use it on Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois.

My remaining attacks:
Day 5 Turn 1: Attack Lake Michigan
Day 5 Turn 2: Attack Missouri
Day 5 Turn 3: Attack Kentucky

Final results for the evening. A head's up: I've got a lengthy project that I have to do at work tomorrow, involving printing out thousands of emails. I may not be able to update the game around 9am, but if I don't get a chance in the morning, I'll do it during my lunch hour. It shouldn't be a big deal, since at this stage of the game, everyone waits until nighttime to attack.

Results:
-Plarom/orionmk3 for New Hampshire: Plarom conquers
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for Wisconsin: orionmk3 defends
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for Iowa: orionmk3 defends
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for Arkansas: orionmk3 defends
-orionmk3 uses a Death Ray to take Michigan, Indiana and Illinois

I'd better get in some attacks while I still remember!

Attacking Lake Ontario, Lake Superior, Illinois, and Indiana.

I have risen early this morning thanks to some annoying errands, but how lucky that is. Apparently I forgot to ever place a fourth attack, so I'll do that now against Alaska.

I wouldn't have thought it possible with only 4 players remaining, but there are no Warlords today. orion_mk3's Ninjas were highly ineffective (he must have hired the same group that Tritoch had the other day).

Results:
-Plarom/Tritoch for Lake Michigan: Tritoch defends
-Plarom/Tritoch for Hawaii: Plarom conquers
-Plarom/Identity Crisis for Florida: tie, resubmit numbers
-orionmk3/Tritoch for Lake Michigan: Tritoch defends
-orionmk3/Tritoch for Missouri: Tritoch defends
-orionmk3/Tritoch for Kentucky: orionmk3 conquers
-Identity Crisis/Plarom for Lake Ontario: Identity Crisis conquers
-Identity Crisis/Plarom for Lake Superior: Identity Crisis conquers
-Tritoch/Plarom for Alaska: Plarom defends

I disagree that it is even. Evil Tritoch obviously has a few Death Rays up his sleeve!

When did I say anything about things being even?

Zerg thinks far too highly of my planning abilities. I've only got a nuke stash. :(

You said things were "too close". And that means "even" in my book! :D

By the way, has anybody used the new and improved spies?

No one. I'd think they'd be pretty useful, but apparently not. I like how the Ninjas have sucked this game, though.

Hey nutty, would you mind PMing me a reminder as to what items I own? :eagletear:

Oi, I had a feeling it would come down to this! I was tempted to throw in the towel too, but fighting to the bitter end will probably be more fun.

Lake Erie
Lake Michigan
Washington
Iowa

I'll have to post my moves later tonight; lots of other GFF business to mop up first.

No news, but the chart and map are updated. I could have sworn I did the chart this morning.

I like how everyone's targetting me instead of the guy who's actually in the lead. That's alright though. Team Monocle will secure victory whether or not you plan to cooperate. :tpg:

I'm attacking Virginia, Washington DC, Alaska, and Alabama.

Results:

-Plarom/Tritoch for Lake Erie: Tritoch defends
-Plarom/Tritoch for Lake Michigan: Tritoch defends
-Plarom/Tritoch for Washington: Tritoch defends

Okay, just a quick one:

I'd like to use what's left in my bank account to buy Tanks, which will roll into Missouri (whoever owns it).

Day 5 Turn 1: Attack West Virginia
Day 5 Turn 2: Attack Tennessee
Day 5 Turn 3: Attack Ohio
Day 5 Turn 4: Attack L. Michigan

I don't think I'll be able to win with these moves, but staying until the last day is victory in and of itself.

Last update of the night. Have fun with the free-for-all.

-Identity Crisis/orionmk3 for Illinois: orionmk3 defends
-Identity Crisis/orionmk3 for Indiana: orionmk3 defends
-Plarom/orionmk3 for Iowa: orionmk3 defends
-orionmk3 uses Tanks to take Missouri

For this day, I'll attack Utah, Louisiana, Lake Huron, and Missouri.

Also, I'll be buying a Blitzkrieg to conquer Wisconsin and Minnesota. I'd buy an Atomic Bomb, but I really don't want to be looking back and forth between the chart and the graph to find out how to maximize the damage.

At this point it's pretty clear that Identity Crisis has won the game, but 2nd place is still too close to call. We'll have to wait until the numbers come in. Surprisingly, Plarom had a huge arsenal of items (2 tanks, 2 energy boosts, 1 atomic bomb and 1 Death Ray), which he asked me about yesterday, but never got around to using them. Crushed by the GFF meet.

-Plarom/Identity Crisis for Florida: Plarom conquers
-orionmk3/Identity Crisis for West Virginia: Identity Crisis defends
-orionmk3/Identity Crisis for Ohio: Identity Crisis defends
-Identity Crisis uses Blitzkrieg to take Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Aw snap! I was about to use all my items as a last ditch effort..

Congrats, I.C.! If I did forfeit the game I planned on giving you all my items, only because you've yet to win a game. Clearly, that wasn't even necessary! :D
