turns done for dominion...RP up later today [sat] and finish on sunday

[paladinbob123]

Grand Warlord Sorcalin looked around as the allied armies were already besieging the "Endless Stair" which served as Molag Bal's citadel in northern Coldharbour . The climate was a dark grey/bluesh hue , as the troops of the dominion moved ever closer to the last Daedric stronghold, which was the last obstacle to success. Bosmer and Altmeri armies stood in formation , as the Sorcalin greeted the hammerfell and wayresterian king , with a warriors grip on the forearm but there was some tension however in the air, as the orcish leader refused to great the bosmer and altmeri leaders, perhaps holding them to account for the devastation wrecked on the forest orcs who had lived in valenwood forest.

Snubbed by the orcish leader, the dominion war leaders, grew sceptical at the allied alliance holding as ever the final goal was finally within reach, but the hammerfell king grew annoyed that things would be this petty, when victory was so close at hand. Sorcalin appreciated the hammerfell and wayrestian king's position, and tested whether the khajiit forces could join the attack on the city , of which it was found they could , if they so wished [this was later refused , as the khajit force was at half strength , and the dominion didn't want to attack with a weak army , having it be a chance for a enemy sally and counterattack] but the prove was there , that the dominion could attack.

Thus it came to be , that the hammerfell and wayresterian leaders, met with the bosmer and altemi leaders of the dominion , and a agreement was rehashed out with the orcs, allowing some unity between the factions [altmeri and bosmer diplomat's were sent to the orcs this turn asking for alliance], which seemed to be the last obstacle to the dominion forces joining the battle , in the next season.



"Shall we join the battle?" , commented the bosmer general to sorcalin.

"No", she commented , "We shall wait for diplomatic assurance first.....and if the other covenant leaders can get the orcs to agree.....we shall act!. In the meantime ready the armies of the dominion for battle! Let us not shame ourselves against the Covenant armies , and let them see we are ready to move!"


{The endless stair in coldharbour}

Sorcalin looked at the Daedric defences' and knew the task ahead , would be a brutal one, losses would be high, with little chance of success, but the chance was at least there , if luck but favoured them. Looking back , she saw the dominion armies preparing for battle , they hoped they could participate in , but all was now in the hands of the orcs, if they could but let go , of the pain the dominion had inflicted on them, to allow them into the line of battle for what was the final siege against the daedric threat.


{current situation in Coldharbour as the allied armes prepare to mount the final assault}
--------------------------------------

On the southern coastline of Valenwood , Kinlord Rilis commanded the 2nd Auridon marine division ever closer to the city of Greenheart, and for there part , a advance party of marines had moved forward to build a temporary fortress, to blunt any undead movement westwards whilst the main force prepared for the final battles to end the undead threat. Further east however , the 9th militia army being a sixth of its former strength was stood down , with most of its troops being amalgamated with the 7th militia army group under the command of Aldononde. They moved to secure the eastern pass's near greenheart to secure that route , to trap the undead forces around Greenheart, but they were ordered to support , as the bosmer would main fortifications to finally trap , the undead, as they were preparing the last of there southern forces, for a committed blow to end the undead threat once and for all..

Turn to Bosmer

[paladinbob123]

The majority of the undead had fallen backwards, seeing the bosmer buildup , withdrawing onto a position where each undead force could support each other. One force still lay with the city of Greenheart and the other lay a little to the east of the city within a fort, where equally a large force, under the personal command of the shade of Naemon [with occupying artillery] secured the eastern plains around the city. Bosmer command, had the numbers to assault the City of Greenheart, but its Huge walls would require a siege and that would leave themselves vulnerable to certain attack from the shade. Equally the Silvernar who was prophesied to defeat the shade ,was still out of range , to face him , and therefore assaulting the shades position would result in certain death. Left with little objectives , they could take this season, the bosmer command decided on a policy of entrenchment, and preparation, and ordered the undead positions to be surrounded using the mountain range behind the city to act as net to pin them in.


{the undead situation in the south}

Thus ordered the 2nd Auridon marines [Lord Rilis] secured the western passage from greenheart, and the bosmer secured the eastern with two fortifications. It was thought that the undead with some trebuchets could smash any of these fortifications, but they would find movement differicult after they would do so , and they would be limited to only taking one of these precious positions until a counterattack could be mounted on the next season. So the undead would have to make a choice between attacking and moving forward with a limited advance , also dividing their forces, or make a combined stand somewhere on the coastline. Either possibility was a option , and the bosmer command prepared for both eventualities .



There was however one minor undead battlegroup which still remained outside the quarantined area, and some of the newer and upcoming generals decided to take their own small bands , to end that situation. The band of skeletons was perhaps not as destroyed as the commanders would have liked , perhaps, but for the cost of some bosmer riders, they were forced back into the quarantined area , to the satisfaction of King Aredan and his command staff. One of the commanders of this action , was awarded a commission and he hoped he would feature of the battles to come which were sure to be bloody but for now, they just waited for the Silvenar , to bring [they hoped], the final piece of the puzzle to defeat the undead forces once and for all , on the coastline.



Turn to Khajiit

[paladinbob123]

The khajiit forces stood on the periphery of the battlefield this season, having a force test the possibility of attacking in Coldharbour [ a successful test] and having Razum-dar moving his battlegroup closer to the undead quarantine zone , where they could perhaps support the bosmer king, and Silvenar in whatever action they wished to undertaken in the next season.

Conflict between its neighbours was non-existence at present, as they were still cooperating with both the covenant and the pact, and the ceasefire still held for the most part, with perhaps both sides and neighbours benefiting from the trade which flowed from the khajiit ports. Economic success with trade was re-invested into further shipping , some being spent into war shipping furthering support to the bosmer and altmeri warfleets that patrolled the western coastlines, as a counter to covenant shipping strength.

There had been some cat and mouse games between the Pact and the Khajiit mercantile arm , as the argonians had expanded their dominions into the southern reaches of the blackmarsh , forcing back the khajiit merchants from there easier trade routes. Other merchants had been assassinated and others had been pushed away from trade resources, as both sides sought to secure precious mineral resources that still survived in the neutral areas.



One such case , was the silver mines around a rebel held terrority where the argonians and the khajitts contested for its resources. Bringing back one of there more experienced merchants, the two contested for the rights, each appealing to the rebels held lands for a decision. Eventually this mercantile fight, was secured for the khajiit, when his caravan dipping deep into gold reserves bought out the argonian merchants families assets forcing him to drop the challenge.



But for the rest of the lands of elsweyr increased their output , using the monies to bring greater armies and navies to the battlegrounds of the future , as they awaited the elevation of their state above all others , mainly in economic dominance.

Dominion turn done {Rp and turns to be posted on Monday[I hope] when hopefully I would have shaken this heavy flu I am under...]

[paladinbob123]

The forces of Altmeri stood ready ,as warlord Sorcelin , adjusted her cloak , as the sky still remained its dark black and greys. The enemy deadric city stood in front of them and the only obstacle that halted progress was the orcs complaints. Halberdier , and armoured swordsmen adjusted there weight from foot to foot, as the army of the first marine , awaited word , from the forces of the covenant.

Slowly over the surrounds of the city , covering with troops of the covenant and the dominion , a lone figure , rode hard, making a small dust cloud behind him , that lingered in the air, highlighting his destination of the altmeri headquarters as Sorcalin , looked over seeing there approach. Pulling the horse to a halt the orcish messenger, threw the message at the merish highlord , which bounced off her chest and fell to the ground. The orc rider, gave a slight disgruntled snout before , raising the reigns to ride back to his own forces, as a altmeri aid-de-camp, bent down to pick up the note , and hand it to Sorcalin.




Sorcalin, reading the note quickly turned around to the sub-commanders of the army , and raised her hand and shouted .

"Forces of the Dominion ! ......Now is our time , to see great deeds are done , and all the atrocities of these foul beings are held to account! Remember the slaughter at Dusk , and at Firsthold or at numerous towns on the eastern isles of Summerset Isles, and now this is our chance.....Our chance ! To make amends for not being present! Ready your bows.....Sharpen the point of your swords and make ready those axes....For the Dominion readies ourselves for the final assault!"



All the altmeri troops within the sound of her voice cheered , and the news was quickly brought forward to all the armies for dominion to take there places laying siege to the final Daedric stronghold. Altmeri of the first Auridon marines , A well armied and trained Bosmer army did likewise and even the Khajit forces although being small in number , readied there troops to help out where they could , as the three remaining uncommitted armies moved forward a little to stand with hated foes, as there was a enemy more dangerous all had to face...

---------------------

Marines of the 2nd Auridon however saw the great gates of the undead city which lay to the east open , and the shade of Naemon marched out with half his strength[one fully army group] , slowly gathering the slow moving army of the dead , as it marched towards the altermi fort. A slight cold , began to effect the weather as the undead lord, marched out , and the air in the area cooled bringing a slight mist which protected most of the undead that travelled with him. The marines however had been tasked with holding the route to the western coastline which this position protected , and gripped there weapons in readness, as magicusers within the marines fort, sent forth , fireballs high in the sky to other forces nearby , highlighting to the other forces nearby that they would been soon under attack.

Turn to Bosmer

[paladinbob123]

Captain Hanilan looked on from the 2nd Auridon marine held fort, as the hordes of undead began to spill out on to the western plain to confront his position . The Shade of Naemon was clearly visible even at a distance, as the two and a half thousand undead, slowly took there battleformations. Marines cried out there call to arms, as all of his two companies [nearly two hunded heavy armoured marines] shouted out there readiness , in turn. The horde mainly consisted against skeletons and draugr and there considerable numbers spreadout into semi cresent formation and advanced slowly against his position. Many of the marines on the temporary timber fort walls launched arrows and magic spells , taking down there own due against the hordes that come into range now broke into a run against the marine position.

On the southern coastline however , many of bosmer best troops and generals stood at the ready to resist the undeads troops attack , and seeing the magic's of the marines lightup the morning sky against the light mist , the undead troops carried with them to protect them from the sun, and readied themselves to land there forces to break the enemies commander who had started this current crisis. The rest of the 2nd Auridon marines resting in another fortification to the west , saw the signals and although most of the division was battered from its recent struggles , it non the less, readied itself to sally out , to lend its weight to resist the undead threat.

Indaenir The Just, the new Silvenar , sat with his forces in one such flotilla of the southern coastline and he had prepared himself for this moment , and nodded to the small group of troops he kept close , and to the mages that occupied them. There were twelve warriors [both male and female] taken from the cities of the bosmer people that had suffered from the undead action, who were eager for action. These warriors were from mighty families clans that had lived in those great cities and seen all they held most dear to them , destroyed and taken from them , and each was eager for revenge. All of them held there own family blades which were long encased with magic , over magic, as each generation of the families had enchanted the blades making them perhaps one of the more dangerous tools, a bosmer could process .

There was the fierce Prince Laen , who had climbed to fame, in his defence of the western coastline , with his forces full of hope , at the prince who had not lost a battle, and the bosmer from the west had followed his banner , bring his unwavering troops to the fray. Other Notables , Such as King Aeradan ,and Glaras, who held the guard taken from Eldenroot itself, bringing them into the fray to push back the undead scourge from its advance to the east.

Many bosmer ships began to beach near to the battlefield , dropping rams at the side, as many lighter troops began to make a quick and defensive position around the landing area as the many horses were led off the ships, onto the beach under cover of the archers and artillery ontop of the ships . It seemed that all things were going to plan , as the marines fort, held all of the interest of the undead. A few undead noticed the action and stumbled over , only to be chopped down , from the lighty armoured sea bourne troops as more and more cavalry were unloaded , with their riders , and in little time the first of the cavalry was unleashed to the east, harassing the rear of the undead troops attacking the fort and making sure that the forces of Naemon couldn't retreat backwards towards the city of Greenheart, and preventing the Undead of Garrison at the said city from sallying out to support there undead leader.



The fighting at the wooden fortification continued as, the Draugr now joined the fight, swarmed over the eastern walls of the timber fort, with little fear of there own casualties , and captain Hanilan gave the signal for all of his troops , to fall back to a last position [those that could see or could do so] , as all of his troops now, with there backs to the western wall , grouped up with halberdiers to the front in two rows, forming up anything to buy the time , his orders demanded of him. He remembered the orders he was given , a week back , "Hold until relieved ...Buy time for the seabourne troops to land..."...the orders echoed in his mind ,as he observed the last of the wall defenders giving a good account of themselves, as they bought time , for the rest of the garrison to fall back to there last stand, and had little time , to wonder, if he and his men , could last the day against such aggression and numbers of troops , the undead hurled at them.

The 2nd Auridon marines under the command of Lord Rilis arrived at this point , double timing it down the road, in good formation , and he let the forward elements hit the undead hard, trying to keep the rest of his troopers he had left in the fort, alive. The fort was surrounded at this time , but the forces on the western side of it , were lighter than the east, but the forward elements of the marines couldn't last for long, not wishing to fight in a battle of attrition when the undead, had the better numbers and fearing to lose marines , that could be risen and used against them. Slowly the marines disengaged, dragging some of the undead with them , which were still wishing to fight, as the marines formed a hard shoulder , but supporting the fort with missle and magic support from archers and justicars but still unable to help those within the fort.

The infantry took a few more hour's to disembark from the ships , [apart from most of Glaras which were still mainly onboard the ships , and still not disembarked] , and most moved into the fray . King Aeradan took his foot troops and the depleted royal guard, forming a rearguard to prevent any "fresh" undead troops from Greenheart from helping the now trapped undead forces. Prince Laen took his infantry and archers and moved to support the 2nd marine , forming a new battleline , his banners flying proudly in the light wind that blew across the field , helping to grind the undead from a distance using there massive superiority in misslefire and bringing it to bear.

Indaenir The Just, took the main force approaching from the southern coastline however striking at the undead left flank , and began to slowly beatdown any resistance his troops faced having equipped his own forces with large maces and hammers , which when combined with the heavy shields , began to advance , metre by bony metre, as a carpet of bones , was being created as they ground the undead between them. But they were still far to late, to save the defenders of the fort, as Captain Hanilan's force couldn't contain the shear numbers that assaulted his men , as one by one , they were felled, and most knew there own fates, as several of the marines wereeven now being bought to life as undead zombies rose again to fight in the shades army. As the numbers were whittled away one by one , the gallant captain ordered the barrels at the rear wall to be lit, and as the last score of marines fought to keep the undead from claiming there prize, the fuses that had been lit , hit the fuel contained within the barrels , and the sky erupted in a blinding light , as timber , rock , and bodies were hurled into the air , in a great explosion , as the marines , not wanting to suffer the fate of there own companions, destroyed there own position ,and there own lifes taking four times there number in undead troopers, into peaceful slumber with them. The bosmer cavalry took a slight rest in the lee of King Aeradan's position , defending the approach to the east, as the four other armies of bosmer and altmeri drove the undead against the mountain range to the north giving it no room to manoeuvre , smashing , shooting , grinding there path to what they saw as victory.

Eventually the Shade of Naemon was spotted , at the back of the mountain with a mere two hundred undead draugr axemen who held out in the last stance, as the marines , and Prince Laen's army took a defensive position, leaving the last act to the forces of Indaenir. Indaenir's force's surged forward with there maces, and hammer , bringing down near to hundred draugr to the ground. They pulled back a little, to catch there breath , only to hear the rasping voice of the Shade of Naemon ,

"Well done!" , cried out the Shade , its green eyes, shining out in the half-light of the day, "You thinkkkkk....that you are within victories grasp....You think to trap meee.....here...but I have instead trapped yooooooou...."


The shade, who's form still was moving in and out of visibility , as if is was not fully in this plane and partly intangible, waved its hands reciting ancient words it spat into the air. A few seconds later, a hazy grey dome , around sixty foot in circumference ,appeared around the undead monstrosity , and its last supporters.

A lone marine seizing the advantage , took a arrow shoot through the sphere, which prenetreated the sphere, but didn't connect with the shade, passing though its form .

"Ha -hah-hah" , the Shade, cried, "Tttthhissss shield protects me from magical weapons , only allowing normal weapons though,......but thoooose indeeeeed cant hurt meeeeeee...." , it said before launching into another round of laughter as more ineffective arrows and missle weapons passed thought its form. One of the bosmers from Indaenir moved forward with one of there enchanted two handed weapons swinging it at the sphere, where sparks hit as it connected, its enchanted frame , refused entry from the magic, the shade had cast, other mages fired off magical blasts which connected with the sphere finding the sphere wouldn't allow magic to pass throught its frame, as the field dissolved any magical effect or weapon from passing its form.

"Now fear my wraaaaath........Join the deadddd! ", screamed the shade , casting another spell , as the bosmer and altmeris looked behind them at the dead, [and undead ] behind them , a foe already thought perished began to rise again , and searched for weapons to hold. There were riders appearing from King Aeradan , telling the main attack groups , that the great doors of Greenheart were beginning to open again , with the potential problem of another undead army group of a few thousand descending upon the field of battle from the east, and his message, said to Indaenir , that if he had any surprises left to give that , now was the time to do it , lest all soon be lost. The army groups of Prince Laen , Lord Rilis and Indaenir began to form a second frontage to their rear to resist the forces of undead, that were rising again from the rear of there battlelines, as they were now being surrounded in turn, and all looked bleak.

Indaenir called out to the now trapped allied armies , asking them to buy him , more time , against the backdrop of laughing shade , whiring around to the mages and the twelve swordsmen , and called to them , as they huddled together. The mages nodded at his new plan , and began to weave spells that landed over various weapons that had been placed on the ground as the newly risen dead, the shock of the sleep they had been dragged from , as they began to form new battlegroups and swarmed against the now trapped allied bosmer and marine forces , as the mer , kept up a solid-shield wall , ever buying time , to bring this battle to a end.

In the east, at Greenheart, a slow moan erupted from the King Aeradans troops , as the undead began to marchout of the city , and form up into there own battleformations , a force that moved in total silence , as the march of the dead, gained in strength, minute by minute.

Yells from the battlefield , as the grunts of exultation , as the troops held the undead mass's which seemed to exponentially grow , minute by minute , as they began to fight again , the two thousand dead, which they had spent the last two hours, felling , struggling against them again , as Indaenir gave out weapons to the twelve swordsmen and they positioned themselves near him as he strove nearer to the magical shield , where the undead shade cackled at the weak ineffectual mer.

He looked back once {Ingaenir} at the chief of his magus , who nodded in affirmative to his silence request before he turned back to look at the shade , who stood tall , with what could be said to a grin on its face, as he took a stance , and lifted a dagger to his hand . In one swift motion he threw the dagger, which hit the shield , penetrating it and flew straight and true into the shade, striking its luminous fluctuating form , hanging from what appeared to be its body . The shade cried out , as the Silvenar threw yet another and another , each penetrating the barrier and into the Shades form. The Shade howled in protest, at what seemed to be a unfair attack as he had thought to have all the bases covered. He couldn't be hit but by magical or enchanted weapons alone ,but none of those could penetrate the barrier.

Shluck!...another dagger struck him , and the Shade cried out , with more pain , as the magical shield began to waver , losing some of shine in some areas, when another dagger struck the shade ,and the shield now failed completely. The last of Dragurbodyguard of perhaps maybe a score left, advanced with heavy weapons to block the route of the twelve warriors and the Silvernar who advanced with purpose towards the Shade, with the remainder of the Dragur bodyguard from before having been felled to the arrows , that had been fired into the barrier, as the shade couldn't be harmed , but that didn't mean the rest of his entourage couldn't be taken down by normal arrows.

"I have here with me ......Men and women of ancient houses , and clans ", The Silvenar had to stop in his monologue , to strike down another Draugr warrior with a couple of well placed blows, " All from those estates you have razed to the ground...All of them have ancient weapons of power, they are eager, to uphold there house's honour in revenge!"

The undead deployment outside Greenheart halted, feeling the sudden change in the battlefield , and it seemed all eyes were upon the twelve swordsmen and women [with the Silvernar] who dispatched the last of the Draugr and advanced upon the shades with enchanted weapons ready.

"Nooooo.......You cannooot do thisssss!", cried out the Shade, as first one then another of the noble bosmer lords , of houses destroyed by the Shade, threw there own blades into its vaporous body , holding it in place. As each blade , stuck into the undead powerful being , the bodies of the lords, disappeared into the air, as if there very frames had been aged beyond there ability to hold their own form , as the Shade turned each to dust , sucking the very life force from there bodies .But for now, those enchanted blades of old, runes glowing brightly held his frame to the very ground, trapped from twelve mighty weapons , pinning the undead monstrosity to the bosmer field ,as the Silvenar approached and thrust the final blade into his form.

The Silvenar took a step away from the Shade as it shrieked in agony , surprised that his body hadn't dissolved like the other bosmer who had lost there lives in the struggle, looking at the crying and twisting shade , as it sought to escape the agonies , that it had committed to the people of Tamriel , as slowly its form grew taller , and thinner ,and ever more twisted until with a another mighty boom of sound that send all within earshot to the ground its form exploded, as the shockway hit those that were nearby.

Those undead, that had surrounded them [the bosmer and altmeri forces] began to fall or break apart, as the necromantic energies that held them in thrall began to depart, as the allied armies took a collected sigh of relief. Some looked over the undead forces still at Greenheart, where similar scenes were happening , and only the powerful necromancers within the city itself , managed to keep most of the undead armies there together, as they retreated in disarray back into the city.

All of the Bosmer forces and Altmeri marines sat on the forest floor , taking in the fact, they still lived and had survived the ordeal , but none dared to move towards the spot where the twelve swords still stuck in the ground where the Shade had departed, fearing to change anything. A lone rider arrived , and the Kinlord Rilis jumped from the seat , his armoured six feet form dwarfing the much smaller Silvenar offering him a hand to get him to his feet.

"A worthy feat from the new Silvenar indeed?" , queried the marine officer, " How did you penetrate the magical shielding some of my men reported protected the shade?"

The Silvenar his body weary , bruised battled and exhausted from the battle gave the altmeri a wirey grin before replying..

"We simply cast a spell making magical weapons to be normal weapons without any power" , he grinned allowing the lord of Firsthold to catch up.

"....and thus when they struck the magical barrier it cancelled the magic out , making them normal enchanted weapons again ..after they had pasted through the shield?", finished the Kinlords thoughts...



The Silvenar nodded as he looked around , at the now celebrating troops as marines hugged bosmer field troopers , as they like any troops had survived a fierce battle sought to celebrate there living one more day with alchocol and dancing. Closing his eyes to the shouting , and celebration to life, he once again , heard in the distance ,the calls from the woodland animals and birds, starting to call out to each other as they returned to the tainted land , eliminating the End of Silence , the undead had bought to the area, knowing that the land ,was once again renewing itself.

"One more task ahead" pointed out Kinlord Rilis , pointing at the departing undead to the east, at Greenheart, as they retreated within the city , and closed the great gates...

"Indeed......or perhaps the necromancers will not be able to hold the numbers of dead in check, now that the Shade has been defeated?", replied the weary Silvenar taking a flask of some potent wine, from a fellow bosmer trooper as he wiped his brow , ".....either way , that is a concern for another day...", he said, before taking a deep long swig from the flask .

His eyes fell upon the swords still marking the passing of the great shade, and thought to himself to place some guards on the site. Who knew what you happen if the swords were taken , after the shade had been banished and he was not eager to find out. Stature's or monument to the slain lords and ladies who had given there lifes to constrain the evil and to win the event of this battle would be placed here , perhaps in some kind of tomb perhaps which would be constructed? where warnings could be placed, and the swords watched over for the times ahead.......



Turn to the khajit

[paladinbob123]

The khajiit followup forces , also helping in the attack on the undead, heard the news that the Shade of Naemon had been bought low, but there were still undead to be found , making a exploratory advance to the east, checking out the bosmer forts which blocked the way eastwards. Razum-dar led the reinvigorated Khajiit expeditionary army back intothe bosmer terrority , striking the undead forces of skeletons pushing them back into a nearby fort, to save themselves.

But the khajiit forces were forearmed with trebuchets which they slowly bought to the fore of the battlefield, smashing the doors and walls to the keep before the khajiit battlegroup assembled to surrounded all the breach-points before charging forward into the fort. The overwhelming numbers of khajiit burst through the gates and walls, the front runners bypassing the initial defences leaving them to the warriors behind them , as the khajiit performed a form of blitzkrieg on the much weaker and lesser defended skeletons...

In less than a minute , a soldier held up the khajiit flag to announce victory was had , as the khajiit troopers began to dismantle the undead fort, as the troops and artillery began the withdrawal to the ships , in case , a siege of Greenheart was needed.

"How long was that combat lasting for?" , announced one of the khajiit under-leaders



"Thirty nine seconds .........or there or so........certainly less a minute" , smiled Razum , holding out his hand to other.

The other khajiit looked at the others nearby who nodded in confirmation of the time taken for victory , and took out some coins from his pouch at his side, slapping the coins down into Razum's mit of a hand , before storming off , annoyed at his loss of fortune.

"It is a good day to be part of the dominion ..." , smiled Razum counting the coins in his hand , before he to joined the march back to the ships.

[paladinbob123]

Seen as it has been one and half months since there has been a turn , and jadli is leaving and has not commented , I might as well be the one , to start the ball rolling, to at least start us making a decision of where we act next?....Do we continue with this and ask jadli for admin rights , or do we put this hotseat down to the retirement home?

As there is effectively only four of us , left effectively playing this , shall we try and continue on to the 60turn limit of the game [as per the rules] or shall we end it here?.....can the players that are left give us your opinions, please?

players:-

ramble12 [daggerfall covenant]
Peaman & redboosty [ ebonheart pact]
paladinbob [dominion]


For my vote , I am happy to continue or to end it, as there are advantages and negatives for either case, but like most hotseats it is more about the players themselves whether they wish to continue or not , have the time to do it or concentrate on other more active hotseats?, and perhaps mainly whether they are having fun with the hotseat or not [which means they wish to stay with it , generally], as really we cant really afford to lose more members playing this one , to keep it going, therefore I suggest if one of the players does'nt really have the time or the inclination to continue, that we check to see if there are others wishing to continue with it, and if we cant achieve the current level of players or better , that we "retire" this one would be my opinion?

[Ramble12]

I'd like to continue, but we need a commited admin

[paladinbob123]

I would add that only 1 player has responded to comments about this hotseat and that if the other two players show little interest and don't respond by the end of the month, that this hotseat should be called as "dead" , and filed to the archive area....

Quite unfortunate if we have to finish it this early after all the time put in. I would like it to be called a draw then

it doesn't matter what result we call it , if we end it early ..you can call It a win for you if you so wish, I will not contest it , if the game is cancelled.. but let it be so , if that is your priority

Sorry for late response.

Well, there are are only two options in my opinion. As I obviously no longer have time to admin admin events, either the hotseat would be finished prematurely, with declaring the winners (likely adding points for the most recent stuff as welll), or that this admin turn would be the last with events, and then the game would continue without events, so the war could be ended properly (with a new admin if needed). I doubt there would be any admin willing to take up all the events... I had many more events prepared, its shame I no longer have time to use all of them ....
