To each his own in terms of when people attack, since waiting until the last minute has its own drawbacks. Me, I can't stay awake that late, so I won't be doing it.

Thanks for clarifying, Dullenplain, that makes things much simpler.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes, very much so. Thanks!

I do have another question, though: how are attacks across bodies of water determined? I ask because I'm not sure where, if anywhere, I can attack the mainland from my island territories.

Attack 46. Kagoshima
Attack 45. Miyazaki
Attack 37. Kagawa

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Refer to the first post in the text below the map that explains some of the allowed attacks across water.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I call bah on this sudden rule change to let the defender reclaim his lost prefecture =/ Especially after I worked so hard to grab it!

Well, maybe it's sour grapes.

(I'm actually okay with it, since I'll probably be partaking of the same benefits provided...if I last that long >_> )

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think I just misunderstood it...I thought that only the specified routes were kosher, but it turns out there's a range of them. D'oh.

Anyhoo:

Attack 40. Fukuoka

How ya doing, buddy?

Claiming Akita!

Iwate
Aomori
Hyogo
Saga

How ya doing, buddy?

Final update for tonight:

knkwzrd takes Kumamoto and Oita from orion_mk3
Ryuu defended Ishikawa effectively against ctu
Rollins takes over Saitama from Ryuu but it held back by Plarom from taking over Chiba
nuttyturnip storms through Nagano and Mie sending ctu running
knkwzrd takes Nagasaki from Plarom
orion_mk3 gets his vengeance by occupying Kagoshima and Miyazaki from knkwzrd

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I want to attack 1b, 2, 3, and 4.

Most amazing jew boots

Hoo boy, I almost forgot to send in my attacks for the day.

I'll be assaulting Osaka, Kyota, and Saga.

EDIT: Bah, I also forgot about the new attacking rules. New attacks pending.

Okay, my new (and hopefully legal) attacks will be on Ehime, Saitama, and Yamanashi.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Damn, I forgot about first day annexing. I should've looked at this thread earlier.

Alright, I'm attacking Southern Hokkaido, Osaka, Kagawa, and Miyagi. Also, you may want to rethink your attacks Yeldarb, since only 2 of them are valid.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Okay, new results for this morning!

ctu wins Gifu from Yeldarb
nuttyturnip snatches Gifu away before ctu can celebrate
knkwzrd plows through Yamaguchi leaving Smelnick one prefecture less
orion_mk3 removes Fukuoka from Yeldarb's protection
Identity Crisis holds back Plarom's attack on Aomori
Smelnick couldn't hold back Plarom's takeover of Hyogo, however
Tritoch defends Northern Hokkaido against Yeldarb's attack
Identity Crisis couldn't hold against Yeldarb at Aomori, though
Tritoch completes his acquisition of the island of Hokkaido by conquering the Southern half from Yeldarb

Yeldarb's attack on Miyagi (4) from Southern Hokkaido is invalid because it isn't adjacent.

And before people think Identity Crisis' attack on Yamanashi is invalid, adjacency includes corner neighbors as well.

Tritoch, I automatically annexed Fukushima to you, since you're the last one to do so.

New Weapon of the Day (8/20):

Gaijin Otaku - a considerable nuisance to all Nihonjin, use this item to steal an attack from another player to add an attack for yourself.

EDIT:

nuttyturnip repulsed Plarom's attack on Iwate

Plarom/nuttyturnip* - Iwate

Why you got to be like that, Plarom? I held off attacking you yesterday, and this is the thanks I get?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Since it's best used at the start of a day, I use my Gaijin Otaku on Yeldarb.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Heh.. I actually had a FULL list of attacks directed at Yeldarb until I realized the rules didn't allow that.

No worries, you're not my main target. I plan on spending today formulating alliances anyway, and you're more than welcome to become apart of one! This is the first time I'm playing against you as it is, so I wouldn't want you to get destroyed early on.

GAIJIN OTAKU ON YELDARB.

FELIPE NO

GAIJIN OTAKU ON YELDARB ALSO.

Additional Spam:
That gives me five attacks, which I will use on:

38. Ehime
40. Fukuoka
41. Saga
45. Miyazaki
46. Kagashima

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Who am I to stand in the way of a bandwagon?

GAIJIN OTAKU ON YELDARB FTW.

I'll use my first attack to conquer Aomori (2) from Yeldarb.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah, fell asleep before I could make any attacks.

I'm attacking:
Fukushima, Wakayama, Tokushima, and Toyama.

I'm also using Tanks against Fukui

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Midday results:

orion_mk3 is unsuccessful in taking Kagawa from Ryuu
Yeldarb captures Iwate from nuttyturnip
Rollins manages to divert Identity Crisis' attention from Saitama
Tritoch conquers Osaka and Kagawa after a while, catching Ryuu's forces unprepared
Ryuu rolls into Fukui in his tanks

Wow, y'all are pretty tough . . . four uses of the Gaijin Otaku against Yeldarb!



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just a note that Miyazaki and Kagashima are owned by orion_mk3 right now, not ctu as listed on the first page.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I would like to purchase one unit of Tanks, and use it on 44. Oita. My existing unit will roll into 43. Kumamoto

I was speaking idiomatically.

My error, put the two on the wrong column. It will be fixed shortly.

Also, nuttyturnip snatches Aomori from Yeldarb
and orion_mk3 storms Oita and Kumamoto with his tanks

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'd like to filch a turn from Shorty, and make the following attacks:

Okinawa
Shimane
Nagasaki
Yamaguchi
Kagoshima

FELIPE NO

Grabbing a turn from ctu.

Attacking:
7 Fukushima
10 Gunma
12 Chiba
14 Kanagawa
19 Yamanashi

Most amazing jew boots

I'll be purchasing a Gamera and using it on Okayama and Hiroshima. So long, Smelnick.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Plarom takes over Saga from orion_mk3
knkwzrd reclaims Kagoshima and Miyazaki
orion_mk3 takes over Okinawa, Yamaguchi, and Kagoshima, continuing the feud between him and knkwzrd
,but was unable to capture Shimane and Nagasaki

Gaijin Otaku has been used on both Shorty and ctu, giving them three turns for the day
Gamera, friend of all children, has been summoned by nuttyturnip, eliminating Smelnick from the game!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
