Hm. I specifically stated that I was only going to attack one particular player, and that player was not Simic. Maybe my instructions were unclear? I thought it was a pretty stateforward "If x then y, if not x, then z" thing, though.
Guess I'm at war with the Simic now though. Huh.

rubik, I think that we should define, at least temporarily, columns 1-10 as your sphere of influence and columns 11-20 as mine. Then taking territory outside your sphere of influence risks harming the other's sphere and earning their ire, whereas we agree that taking territory inside your sphere will carry no such risk. Does that sound harmonious to you?
[FLAVORPOST] Experiment 1:Get Weird! Day 2 Next up on the list, (I hate lists, escept when they're lists of science experiments) I traveled west to a tiny lab wedged between a couple of steam vents. I was not troubled by enemy activity - my comrades here observe a peaceful, if somewhat tense, boundary with the nearby Selesnya. The guildmages watched the Selesnya centaurs strutting back and forth and built their steamcore weirds to match. I can't honestly tell if it's an attempt at mockery or a display of respect, and I don't think they know either. Maybe it's just a way to pass the time - the maintence required on all the infrastructure here is a bit thankless, and a magewright should be creating, not keeping things the same way they were before.
I didn't feel like overstaying my welcome, so I took my weird and left. The agents of other guilds were moving nearer, and I needed to pick up the pace. What was that Teleportal research I was hearing about? I briefly considered trying to ride my weird, but thought better of it before I singed (soaked?) my trousers.

I assumed you made those instructions because moving was more important than attacking the simic to you, and you didn't realize that you couldn't choose whether to move more spaces or use an ability based on other players locations after their moves.
Anyways, you guys should all pm Suudsu mean things about his mother until he makes a move.

Well... since there was nothing to imply that I couldn't set up more complex instructions, yeah, I didn't realize that.
My apologies, rules can be confusing. If you have a question about them, feel free to ask in thread or pm me.

Also, more people should make flavorposts so I don't feel so alone.
I'm the GM, so I'm not sure I can make flavor posts. Like, what do I RP as?
Anyways, Suudsu is now on my list of people I'm pissed off at. He makes keeper look punctual.

Could there be a penalty for turning your move in late that is not at severe as being kicked but is significant enough to absolve their guilt, Orzhov-style? Maybe a payment of life or mana?
If you wanted to you could RP a guildless person whose life is affected by the conflict between guilds. But I have no idea why you'd want to.

Absolving his guilt to the Orzhov sounds fair.

Ok, at this point I'm just kicking suudsu. It's been more than 2 days and he still hasn't responded. Missing 1 day is excusable, missing 2 is just are you ****ing kidding me.
Suudsu descended the stairs to the basement of the Dinrova library. The leader of his cell had told him to retrieve an important scroll related to the territorial struggles going on in the world above. He searched around for it, in pile after pile, but it was nowhere to be found. "Cellmaster, I can't--" His voice was cut short when his gaze reached the door. It was shut. A voice emanated in his head: "I know about the coin you've been getting from the Orzhov. You've made yourself a liability, Suudsu, and the House Dimir doesn't like liabilites." In the dim light, he couldn't see it yet, nor could he hear it creeping silently across the floor, but he could feel it. As the horror neared, his mind began to come apart at the edges. He tried to hold on to it for as long as he could, but his sanity slowly and steadily slipped away. He forgot where he was, who he was, and finally, he forgot that he was.
Some flavor stuff to please our resident Izzet guildmage.
Anyways, the updated map will come in the morning after I get some much-needed sleep.

keeper, it seems we are both at war with the Simic. I propose that, to avoid getting into each other's way, you move up-right and take the territory over there, while I move west and take the unclaimed territory directly to my left. Would that be acceptable to you? Note that to attack Morgotha and do this I would also need to take 3 squares of your territory.
cato, what's the deadline for today?
Experiment 1:Get Weird! Day 3 I had barely made it to the third Izzet outpost when it was attacked by a Simic guildmage and his biologically enhanced troops. It was terrible! Everyone running around, things exploding, goblins dying - so, not much different from a normal day. But this time, someone else was at fault. And when that happens, that someone had better pay! So that Simic guildmage was going down.
My experiment would have to be postponed. Truly, a sad day. The special weirds I had taken from the other labs would be placed securely underground, nestled in various pieces of crucial Ravnican infrastructure maintained by us indispensible Izzet. The blistercoil weirds I was supposed to take from this lab were being used in the battle, but that didn't mean my journey was over. Even if I wasn't doing science, there was one more weird I needed to get, so I rushed, bleeding, over to the fourth outpost...

I've decided to keep a journal documenting the expansion project. Everything has been going according to plan with no more hiccups than can be expected when working with Thrulls. There seems to be a larger guild presence in the area than initially expected, so far they've kept their distance, I can only hope they continue to do so. The Rakdos and Simic seem to be organizing raids on each other which seems rather odd, then again, who can ever truly predict the Rakdos.
Word has spread quickly of my little housing project. Evidently the promise of violence free living is appealing to a large amount of the sheep citizens, guildless are flocking in droves, we can barely expand fast enough. Very few guilded are among them, however I do have a rather high ranking Azorius senator taking up residence here. After some discussion, I got a good deal on hiring some Arrester patrols to maintain the peace. Sure it would have been cheaper to just hire some Boros thugs, but the Azorius methods of non-violent detainment are a much better fit, you know what I always say: Spare no expense.
That Dimir rat I hired to keep an eye on the other guilds has failed to report back. Either he took the money and ran or he got himself killed. Whichever it was, good help is proving difficult to find and I can't help but think the quality of Dimir spies is highly overrated.
The southern expansion has been unfortunately halted as we encountered Selesnya gardens, they didn't seem particularly keen of the housing development so I'll have to look to expand in other directions until some sort of arrangement can be made, hopefully it won't come down to a show of force.

Whoops! I already sent off my move to the upper left, but that still gets me out of your way. The Simic are sitting ducks at the moment, though. I should be able to erase most of the northern territory in the next few turns, and if Morgothra tries to escape I can pin him down again for you with my cripple ability.
Don't worry about grabbing my territory, I'm just trying to get enough land to recharge my mana. Losing a few squares shouldn't make too much of a difference.

The upper left is fine by me.
I think we can alternate crippling him until he goes down or negotiates for peace, because I have enough mana to replicate a cripple every other turn indefinitely.

sage: You're quickly running out of unclaimed space to expand to. Will you respect other guilds' territories?
Experiment 1:Get Weird! Day 4 ... THUNDERHEADS!
This powerful defensive weird was being researched at the Izzet guildgate, the outpost at the northwest corner of what appeared to be the natural izzet territory. If I could reach there, I could use their massive multipliable might against the encroaching Simic. Moreover, thanks to an allliance with the Rakdos, their attacks would cause grievous injuries, preventing the Simic guildmage from running away, stealing any of our territory or, worst of all, escaping the Rakdos to duel me one on one. I made it just in time, brought a few copies over, and ...
my attack was stymied by a powerful defensive spell. That wouldn't have been a big deal, but my Rakdos allies were nowhere to be found! And I had just finished the exploding balloons for Festival of Fire-Rain Bloodletting Mayhem Neighbor Appreciation Day! Two on one, we would defeat the Simic even if they stalled as long as they could. But alone, I would have to suffer grievous injuries, and that would simply be no good. Something is definitely up, and I have to get to the bottom of this. And who better to discover the truth than me, expert Izzet scientist?

It has been brought to my attention that you have been straying dangerously close to my development, in fact, you are presently squatting in the direct path of our eastern expansion. As you are no doubt aware, we are not particularly fond of your.....theatrics, and I would appreciate if you could leave peacefully and maintain a respectful distance. If you can keep your urges under control you are welcome to join our little community here, if not, please leave or I will personally evict you.
Sincerly- Vizat, Orzhov prelate.
Dear Selesnya cultfanat gardeners?,
As you are no doubt aware I am looking to continue my southern expansion, however it's been halted by some of your gardens. While many of your guards have been giving us some rather nasty looks there hasn't been any violence and I'd like to keep it that way. I wish to extend an olive branch to you, figuratively of course as I'm sure youre in no shortage of olives, and invite you to join our community. Your gardens will be left as they were and you'll be free to continue tending to them, though those large marble.....things, will have to be demolished or relocated. In exchange for your cooperation you will be ensured the highest quality of living I can offer for the lowest rent I can afford, along with the ensured protection of both your gardens and yourselves under the wings of the Orzhov, I do hope you'll consider.
Respectfully- Vizat, Orzhov prelate.

We're fighting because I was attacking Keeper to protect my corner and forgot to specify attack preferences. I view (10,10) through to (20,1) as my corner of territory and will admit to a ceasefire if you agree to respect that boundary.

I'm sure you've probably noticed my disinclination towards aggression.
The Selesnyan borders are likely to remain static once I have finished capturing this square-shaped area that I am so inefficiently circling. All territory from (1, 20) to (10, 14) is under our protection. Any attempt to enter these lands will be taken as a sign of hostility. My intentions are not to expand any further than this. I will attempt to survive until the end and hope that those who remain are willing to peacefully coexist with my guild.
That said, if attempts are made to attack me, I will fight back and offer my passive to whoever helps me destroy those would would aggress upon me. As such, one should not engage me in battle unless they are prepared to face not only me, but two lifebars from any ally I might muster.
I would prefer if you made no efforts to take my land and, should you manage to conquer the remaining 6/7ths or so of the world, declare a peaceful end to the game with the understanding that your guild will hold more power than my own with the resolution of the war, but that mine would retain its control over whatever land I might have and retain some level of power in Ravnica (no smaller than the 1/7th my guild started this war with).

To whichever Selesnyan this concerns, I find this to be an acceptable arragement, but on one condition. The civilian population is allowed to tour your gardens, after paying admission of course, and that you can ensure their safety while doing so. In exchange, there will be no attempts to attack, expand, or infringe on your territory. If you do not wish to expend the man-power to guard the civilians I will have to ask you allow some Azorius patrols in my employ to watch over them in your stead.

Journal: day 5
Messenger Thrulls were sent to the Selesnyans blocking the southern expansion and some Rakdos that were in the way of the eastern expansion. Negotiations with the Selesnyans have been going well and an arrangement has been proposed, with any luck they will accept. Unsurprisingly the Thrull sent to the Rakdos never returned, but surprisingly they seem to have gotten the message and cooperated without any fuss. I don't imagine they will remain complacent for long so I've strengthened the guard along the eastern perimeter but all in all things have been going much more smoothly than I would have expected. Perhaps not all Rakdos are slack-jawed rapists and murderers.
There have been a lot of explosions on the horizon lately which can only mean there are Izzet operating in the area. Oddly, they too seem to be at ends with the Simic. Ordinarily I'd be more concerned about the Izzet or Rakdos in the area but the Simic here seem to be exceptionally aggressive. Is there a Zonot here I wasn't informed of? At any rate these three guids seem to be entirely preoccupied with the destruction of one another so with any luck they'll have killed each other off by the time we finish the eastern expansion.

How come Kevin never seems to get banned?
He does, quite frequently actually. The problem is they refuse to ban both of his accounts at the same time even though using another account to avoid a ban isn't supposed to be allowed.

The switchover from WizO_Whatever to ORC_Whatever was... not kind to the ability of moderators to act on anything other than a strictly scripted policy, which badly hampers their ability to moderate in a fair and consistent way, oddly enough. Forcing them to act like ModBots would have been fine if they were also given the power to rightly declare "I Know All, I See All ", but they weren't -- ORCs only get alerted when somebody clicks the report button, or maybe if a VCL notices something
That's very interesting. Any idea why it was set up that way? And when exactly did the change occur?
I sometimes forget just how long you've really been here...

I don't know, I see where you're coming from as far as the community thing goes, but my issue is that, like buying and promoting the Magic novels, this crap isn't my job. If Wizards wants to pay people to be moderators, then THEY should be moderating things; I shouldn't have to act as a moderator through the Report button.
And, of course, the unwillingness to change the system in the face of clear failure is grossly unscientific and irrational. If it worked to have a large force that we could summon if necessary, Kevin would be IP banned. He isn't, therefore the system doesn't work. It's really quite simple. So, no, I honestly have to completely reject the notion that anyone here is responsible for the failed moderation system on these forums, just like we aren't responsible for the book line getting cancelled, just like we aren't responsible for the Planeswalker's Guides going digital-only. Fans are not responsible for corporate systems that fail them.

Dear Simic geneticists,
As your continued conflict with the Rakdos and now the Izzet seems to be drawing ever closer to my borders, and as I expand towards your territory, I figure now would be a good time to learn of your intentions and to make you an offer. I'm sure that you tire from these constant assaults, so I come to offer sanctuary. If you are able to keep your freak experiments from roaming the streets and attacking the civilians you are welcome to take up residence within my territory. You will be able to rest assured knowing that your experiments can continue unabated while sheltered under the wings of the Orzhov, I do hope you'll consider.
Sincerely, Vizat, Orzhov prelate.

I would like to correct an error. To the best of my knowledge, the Simic and I are currently at peace. Our previous conflict was due to a mistake, and the damage caused has been almost fully healed.

A deal has been struck with the Selesnyans which will benefit the both of us. Sure, it would have been more profitable to chase them off and claim the territory as my own but I decided it would be better, at least for now, to focus my efforts elsewhere. In the meantime I'm charging the citizens admission to tour the gardens which is lucrative enough for now, though if business starts waning there's an easily exploitable loophole to get out of the contract. The Selesnyans will make decent enough allies, at least for the time being.
As we continue our eastern expansion we're inevitably getting closer to the ongoing confict between the Simic and Rakdos, there aren't quite so many explosions so I believe the Izzet have opted out of the fighting for now. I sent a letter to the Simic offering them refuge, given their circumstances I'm rather confident they'll accept. Even if it is just temporary, my coffers will appreciate the extra coin all the same. My only concern is that it may provoke the Rakdos into attacking, while they may be weakened they're still more than capable of wreaking havoc amongst the guildless.

It would appear there is no 14 along the y axis, I'm not sure if Rubik actually has the gall to be attacking me right now after signing a peace treaty or if this is because of map derp.

How the hell did that happen? According to a look at the previous map, it happened some time during the most recent update. I'll fix it immediately.

My apologies, the cartographical errors have been corrected: pastebin.com/QKGE9icx Be thankful I didn't try to cover my ass by saying that plane-consuming rifts occasionally appear in Ravnica, then consume a row/column of the map every round.

It would appear your fighting has driven you into our way once again. Whether you choose to vacate the area or not is up to you, but if you obstruct our construction you will be removed. If you choose to stay you will have to pay the same as anybody else but you will be protected like any other. The choice is ultimately up to you but I would recommend not crossing us.
Warmest regards, Vizat, Orzhov prelate.
Dear Simic geneticists,
I have yet to hear back from you in regards to my first letter, and you are in the way of our development. Please contact me if you wish to negotiate some sort of deal, otherwise I would recommend vacating the premises. Failure to respond will lead to forcible eviction, let's hope it desn't come to that.
Respectfully, Vizat, Orzhov prelate.
Just so there is no possible misconceptions, I am going to be moving 5 spaces to the right, act accordingly. I WILL attack anybody who doesn't move a sufficient distance or supress conversion of conflicting territory.
Dear Rakdos Cultists (again),It would appear your fighting has driven you into our way once again. Whether you choose to vacate the area or not is up to you, but if you obstruct our construction you will be removed. If you choose to stay you will hav
I've been trying to figure it out, but I don't think there is any logical explanation for why the area (1,11) to (9,13) is Orzhov and not Selesnya. What is going on there? Can someone explain it to me?

1. I claimed it first.
2. The dimensions of the Selesnyan territory have been agreed upon and were initially set by Rubik, that's what he asked for and that's what he got.

I assume you mean simic. Yeah, the simic guildmage asked that he suppress his territorial acquisition for those spaces because he didn't want to piss off the Orzhov.

I'll update when I have 5 nice shiny pms sitting in my inbox.
Who hasn't pm'd?
Rubik, keeper, and morg. If you want to pm them to remind them that's OK with me.

Ok, I'll do it. Tragically, keeper and morg have disappeared. I'm too lazy to write a flavorpost. They both receive -100 catpoints and will be excluded from all future competitions. I will also send a plague of locusts to ravage their lands, and the game will continue with only 3 players because **** those leaver bastards. I will update the game sometime soon using the moves of people who should not go (debutantes avert your eyes) themselves. Seriously why did they have to do that?
