Son of a woodland creature!

March 31, 2006- So, while its quiet around here, it seems Itorunt has put out a new "issue" or whatever. Only they BLATANTLY STOLE THE PERIODICAL LAYOUT THAT OCPAU NEWSPAPERS USE!! THOSE ROTTEN MOTHERLESS THREE-FATHERED SONS OF DEFORMED WOODLAND CREATURES!!! Anyways, we're still superior, and shall remain so. And with that, I say, goodbye! END OF EDITION SEVEN.

Waiting

March 31, 2006- We're waiting, just waiting. We hit'em in Greatbridge briefly, nothing major, just a skirmish. I believe Fontan is in Greatbridge and Westmoor, if my memory serves me correctly. We're just sitting around... waiting, gathering, preparing. Odly enough, OR doesnt seem to understand that, to retake Kazan and Gadlock, they'll PROBABLY need to run a TO, or, at least, that would speed it up a bit. Plus, they have no Banker or Ruler. You know, Rubber Ducky is helping more than I ever planned on, not because it was particularly ingenious, but because the Old Rancaguans seem to just be inherently inept!

Okay, so it was shortlived

March 28, 2006- Well, 8k of Sirionites and 4-5k of Old Rancaguans converged from Gadlock and Juazeiro, and crushed our 4-5k force in Kazan. They fought bravely and valiantly... and were defeated. Well, either way, OR was most assuredly hurt by this campaign!

Victory in Kazan!

March 28, 2006- Well, though Sirion seems to be massing in Gadlock, and Oberndorf has been TOed by Sirion, there is a bright side! We just won a victory in Kazan against the first wave of Old Rancaguan forces! Well done Commander Lalakis, and all associated raiders! Well fought! Now just crush the 10k Sirion forces in Gadlock and we'll be set! Also, I'd like to give special notice to a certain Perdanese noble that I've become aquainted with in my time in this Fontanese prison. Her name is Clarissa, and she speaks of a strange noisy box known as a radio. SOunds very odd...

Always more updates, it seems

March 27, 2006- Okay, time for the morning news, bright aaaand early! Looks like clear skies with no chance of rain... anyways, on to iiiimportant things! The rebellion in Fontan seems to just be one or two lone TLs... most unfortunate... another unfortunate event: our TO in Kazakh was stopped be a large Sirionite army which Doc dispatched to add his pitiful puppet realm. On the bright side, though, the PMW reports a successful looting raid with several thousand CS of Fontanese militia destroyed, and several hundred to several thousand gold pillaged! Excellent work PMW forces! We really do love having you here!

Fontan in uproar!

March 26, 2006- Well... it seems Fontan is having problems. As much as I would like to say, "Well... I did this one too!", I cant. Its a surprise to me... Is it a ruse to give their operatives credence when they fail and flee to Oligarch, or is it authentic? Only time and heavy investigation will tell...

Kazan is ours!

March 25, 2006- Kazan is ours! kazkh is isolated, it'll be ours soon! I dont have time, so talk to you later!

A pitiful torture!

March 25, 2006- Tempest is a sissy. I was "tortured" three times. Sending beautiful women to love me is NOT torture, Tempest! You're not gonna make me talk that way! I kept my mouth SHUT with all three(they didnt, of course). Not a peep. TAKE THAT! I recomend you get instructions from the goodly Donna Ragna on how to PROPERLY torture prisoners.

The Fall of Ashforth to... Sirion?

March 24, 2006- Due to Old Rancagua's utter inability to fight a war and take and hold any territory, let alone even maintain domestic security, Sirion TO'ed Ashforth instead of OR! After a fairly long TO process, it seems, they managed to usurp control of the city. Thats the second(or is it third?) time Ashforth has fallen in recent weeks.

From Prison!

March 24, 2006- I got hurled in prison in Fontan a bit ago. I decided to try my hand at the profession of the shadows, and foolishly tried to assassinate someone. Perhaps I will have better luck after I train a bit... either way, I am in prison. But I managed to bribe the guards, so I've got a general gist of whats going on! Essentially: We took over Gadlock! Fontan is still massively occupying our lands! Sirion is still in Ashforth(I think)! We defeated OR in Kazakh, and are running a TO on Kazakh, and have their Banker and Judge out of action! OR IS IN A CRAPPY SITUATION!! YA!!!

Victory in Greatbridge!

March 23, 2006- Well, Fontan's main, lumbering, army moved on Bruck, while most of our forces moved to Greatbridge. In a 5k vs. 2k battle (our advantage) we crushed their forces in Greatbridge, leaving their small detachment scattered and wrecked, while anyone who got left in Hagley now has serious problems.

Updates, updates, updates!

March 22, 2006- The 13k Fontanese army in Westmoor FAILED in its TO attempt, after they moved out and crushed many of the stragglers in Bruck. Our army moved out a bit late, and some people got left behind. Good job Fontan! You took out weak and weary retreated forces! In other news, Lalakis' raiding party is meeting more and more success, after success, after success! No resistance to his campaign has surfaced!

Surprise, Surprise!

March 21, 2006- Well, after we moved into Oberndorf, it seems that OR is still having problems! There's been ANOTHER rebellion, and rebel forces are winning again! Whats up with that? Were they REALLY dumb enough to NOT get rid of the rebels? There may still be hope for Rubber Ducky! Gosh, if I'd known there would be a second rebellion, I might have joined when Charger overthrew the government!

On a better note though...

March 20, 2006- OR is definately in a really crappy situation. They are notably lacking region lords, and have almost no troops anywhere in the Kazakh peninsula, and the rest are still scatterred. Meanwhile, Lalakis is gathering his forces somewhere out in the wild blue yonder...

Unfortunately,

March 20, 2006- A 12-13k Fontanese army is marching on Westmoor. Thats not good. Hopefully we can push'em back out.

Victory in Oberndorf!

March 20, 2006- This is a welcome change! We won! With the great help of Perdan's Murderous Wrath, we were able to massively halt the TO in Oberndorf and crush the small Sirionite garisson. It seems Sirionite forces from Ashforth may be coming to hit back though, while PMW forces may be moving out. Lets hope not. PMW, please stay! We need your help!

Most Hated Person Awards!
