Dear Saturn Allies,
We're sorry to have to send this note - we know it's going to make things hard on you - but we've run out of options.
With Krill gone, Memphus driven out, and General_W more of a General_aWol - we're down to just a collection of lurkers and semi-actives who have time to post some, but not to advance the save. For the sake of keeping things moving, we're going to have to turn the Ninja empire over to the AI.
We'll make an announcement in the UN - but we wanted you to know first.
Before we bow out, we're willing to gift you all of our cities... or as many of them as you'd like. This game is about to go from 3v2 to 3v1 - so you can use every advantage we can give you. Sadly, this is the most we can do for you at this point.
[Or - as a more wild kind of idea - if you wanted, we could offer Kaz all our cities. That way it's not a certain victory for Cav, far from it. If you played your cards right, and got a little lucky, you might even be able to swing a new alliance (or at least a long Non-aggression Pact) with Cav and/or Kaz - and let the two of them duke it out for supremacy while you build up and position yourselves as the kingmaker civ. It's a long shot... but so is you hanging on to all of our cities, really.]
Please let us know what (if anything) you want asap, as Ronnie is the only ninja left who can play... and he's pretty much just going to be fortifying all our units in place, and turning the cities over to the AI governors until we can complete our transfer out totally. We don't want to do this more than a turn or two - as that's probably more unbalancing / less fun than just letting the AI take over.
Again - we apologize for leaving you hanging like this. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to save some of the fun for you and/or give you some final help.
Your friends and allies,
The Ninjas
By the hand of General_aWol
Hey Krill - nice to see you around here also!
