The Thane of Ergoth lives; why do you dress him in a borrow'd shroud ?

Subject: DC406: Fall 06 Results! Hi All,We have officially entered the mid-game phase of our game. This is the phase when final alliances are usually made, when shaky alliances fall apart, and when the mettle of a GM is tested! How is the GM involved? This is the phase when orders aren't always checked carefully, when extensions are 'meant' to be sent but forgotten, when players start dropping out of contact, and when tough decision need to be made. I was hoping this game would skip this phase and proceed directly to endgame, but alas on a board this large, that would be near impossible. And so we suffer our first NMR power, most likely an Abandonment.  I tried several times to reach the affected party, but to no avail. However, the game must move on. We are already looking for a replacement player who knows his time will be fleeting in the next couple months and is sticking it out, but would like someone to take his position.  Trying to find 2 replacements at the same time is a death knell for a game and the rest of you shouldn't suffer that fate. The decision, following in Mike Sims' precedent, is to move forward with the abandoned party in Civil Disorder until a brave soul steps in to claim the crown. I will post another message to the Light Brigade attempting to locate our Knight in shining armor! This is also the year to say Goodbye to 2 powers: Rogues and Magicians.  Thank you to Warren and Mark! You both persevered under tough conditions and I thank you for continuing to play even when it seemed hopeless.  Well done! Deadlines:---------------------- Fall 06 Retreats:  Tuesday 5/8 (at) 5 PM MST.Fall 06 Adjustments: Wednesday 5/9 (at) 5 PM MST.Spring 07 moves: Tuesday 5/15 (at) 5 PM MST. Retreats Needed!-----------------------------------Magicians: F Ske --> WSS, or OTBPirates: A NEM --> MAZ, CAM, or OTBTrolls: F SFS --> WTH, or OTB Auto-Disbands: (Not ALL reflected on the map)--------------------Rogues: F Ashan (No more centers, so disband next phase anyway)Wizards: A Candlekeep, A Yurwood (No more centers, so disband next phase anyway)  FALL 06 Moves:-----------------------Archers: A Prydain - Strawberry Fields (*Fails*)A Starkadh - Andarien PlainA Kingdom of Hearts - Dragons Teeth MtnsA Drynwyn - Prydain (*Fails*)F Andarien Plain - Kingdom of Hearts Barbarians: A Pendaran Wood - Sleepy Hollow (*Bounce*) Dwarves: F Baldurs Gate Supports F RAZORS EDGE - RESTLESS WATERS (*Cut*)A Great Glacier HoldA Spirit Pond - Mount NimroA Yggdrasil - Cave of OrdealsA Undermountain - Venatori UmbrarumF ALL SAINTS BAY - WEST MIRIANIC OCEANF WEST MIRIANIC OCEAN - NORTH MIRIANIC OCEANF RIFT CANYON - FantasticaF RAZORS EDGE - RESTLESS WATERS Faeries: A Vinyaya - Strawberry FieldsA Grimpen Ward - AshanF Grimheim Supports A Grimpen Ward - AshanA Corona, no move receivedA Kender Supports A Grimpen Ward - AshanF CELESTIAL DELTA Convoys A Grimpen Ward - AshanF BEAVERSDAM Convoys A Grimpen Ward - AshanF RUGGED COAST, no move receivedF HORNED BAY Supports A Vinyaya - Strawberry Fields Gnomes: A Hundred Acre Wood HoldA Elephant Graveyard - Critter Country (*Fails*)A Hidden Grotto Supports A Venatori Umbrarum - Neverpeak Mtn Hobbits: F Rohan Supports F BABEL BEACH - SEA OF FALLEN STARSA Lindon Supports F RohanF Two Towers Supports F Thirsty Desert - CandlekeepA Golgafrincham HoldF BABEL BEACH - SEA OF FALLEN STARS Knights: A Tumnus - Sleepy HollowF Wing Hove - ArborlonA Cathal Supports A Tumnus - Sleepy HollowA Aslan - Grimpen WardA Calormen - TumnusF Heavens Well Supports A Aslan - Grimpen WardF MIST MARSH - CELESTIAL DELTA (*Fails*)F SUNLESS SEA - Calormen Leprechauns: A Uhl Belk - SkellingtonF Necronomicon Supports A Uhl Belk - SkellingtonF Merrow, no move receivedF BIKINI BOTTOM Supports F THE MAW (*Ordered to Move*)F THUNDERHEAD - THE MAW (*Bounce*) Magicians: A Everglot - Uhl BelkF Skellington Supports A Everglot - Uhl Belk (*Dislodged*)A Dargaard Keep HoldF Ansalon - THE MAW (*Bounce*)A Lost Woods Supports A Dargaard KeepF Istar - Everglot (*Bounce*)F RIVER STYX Supports F Skellington (*Cut*)F EAST SEA OF SHADOWS Supports F Istar - Everglot (*Cut*) Nomads: F GuTanoth Supports A River Saeren - Paras Derval (*Fails*)A Paras Derval - Brennin (*Fails*)A Brennin - Sleepy Hollow (*Bounce*)F To-Gai-Ru - Palmaris (*Fails*)F Waterdeep Supports F Thirsty Desert - CandlekeepA City of Splendors Supports F WaterdeepA Palmaris - Dargaard Keep (*Fails*)F Timberlands - EAST SEA OF SHADOWS (*Fails*)A Kara-Tur Supports F Baldurs GateA River Saeren - Paras Derval (*Fails*)A Khaz Modan - Temple of Doom (*Fails*) Ogres: A Magrathea - HereshF Heresh - AllerleirauhF Cormyr - FaerunF Thirsty Desert - CandlekeepA Nowwhat Supports F Two TowersA Silvanesti - DhuniaA Ancient Necropolis Supports A Venatori Umbrarum - Neverpeak MtnA Venatori Umbrarum - Neverpeak MtnF THE MAW - RIVER STYX (*Fails*)F RIVER OF THE DAWN - RAZORS EDGEF ROARING RAPIDS - NORTH RAINBOW LAKE Pirates: F Llyr, no move receivedA Mordor, no move receivedF Riku, no move receivedF Travers Town, no move receivedF Slightly Gulch, no move receivedA Neverpeak Mtn, no move received (*Dislodged*)A Duloc, no move receivedA Rivendell, no move receivedF The High Way, no move receivedA Critter Country, no move receivedA Temple of Doom, no move receivedF GULF OF LUHN, no move received Rogues: F Ashan - The Silver city (*Dislodged*) Samurai: F Never Never Land Hold Trolls: F Grissel, no move receivedA The Silver city Supports F Orboros (*Cut*)F Orboros Supports F GrisselF Enchanted Isles - BIKINI BOTTOM (*Fails*)A Owlwood Supports F GrisselA Cave of Ordeals - Newa RiverA Pygmy Supports A The Silver cityF POOL OF RADIANCE Supports A Dargaard KeepF SEA OF FALLEN STARS - Never Never Land (*Dislodged*) Undead: A Skullcap - Everglot (*Bounce*)F SAVAGE SEA Hold Wizards: A Candlekeep - Baldurs Gate (*Disbanded*)A Yuirwood Supports A Candlekeep - Baldurs Gate Thanks,Mike--------
