Ice WorldThis game was run by John Yockey. |
|
In the end Icepick had his way with Phoenix like a two cent sheep. Prior to the Christmas break, Savoia and Phoenix were the top two countries and allied together with visions of global domination dancing in their heads. Phoenix had a eighty sector and five point tech lead over Icepick. In a matter of two weeks Icepick has reduced Phoenix to ashes.
During the Escher/Bellum war, MunchMunch and Icepick were Escher's strongest supporters while Savoia supported Bellum. It was little surprise that Escher would join forces with MunchMunch and Icepick. This left Savoia, who had just started his MBA one day earlier, with no allies and no time against a trio of warlords. Thus while still holding the top spot on the power chart, Vittorio Emanuele of Savoia did what never would have been considered by the Elven King and conceded the game.
ICE WORLD IS OVER The winners are: MunchMunch (Amber,Ski) Escher Icepick (Arrakis)Overlord played MunchMunch for the invasion of Cherek, but didn't log in for the rest of the game.
Ice World had a slower start than usual games. The most interesting war was between Bellum and Escher. Bellum declared war on Escher right after breaking. These two countries were at the top of the power chart for most of the first week. They discovered that they started as neighbors and set the stage for an interesting battle right from the start. Bellum had several early victories -- pushing Escher off of two disputed islands and attacking Escher's homeland. The tide turned as Escher was able to build a fort on one of the contested islands. Bellum tried to respond; however Escher's guns were able to control the warzone between the two countries. At this point both of these combatants fell to the bottom third of the power chart. Giving up his failed strategy of attacking Escher colonies, Bellum has invaded Brutalia and has dared Escher to come fight him on his territory. After the Thanksgiving break, Escher launched a massive attack against the Bellum homeland. Bellum successfully repelled the Escher advance -- completely destroying the Escher invasion force but not before several thousand civilians were killed. Escher finally defeated Bellum after weeks of bombing the Bellum mainland and launching an amphibious assault on the Brutalia mainland which had been invaded by Bellum. Real life events eventually forced Bellum to resign.
The second most notable war was between Lorphos and three newbie countries that were all playing from the University of Eindhoven (Myseria, Limbo and Synchron). Lorphos had alliances with Hades and Icepick. Most of the fighting was between Lorphos and Myseria with each countries allies occationally launching a raid against the opponent. Neither head combatant had a safe port or coastline for most of the first two months. Eventually Lorphos was able to break Myseria and split the Myserian homeland with Icepick. Lorphos then exacted revenge on Myseria's ally Limbo. Myseria's second ally, Synchron, left the earlier war over an apparent non-aggression treaty violation by LSF. Synchron vowed to eliminate LSF from the game. The game ended before Synchron could elimanate LSF or Lorphos could elimanate Synchron.
> Announcement from Escher, (#27) dated Tue Jan 9 11:01:27 2001 As the brief spring draws near on the frozen tundra of the Iceworld, the surviving warlords survey their domain. Fierce competition has eliminated several contenders, and three of the remaining rivals, MunchMunch, Icepick, and Escher, have banded together to face the most powerful of the contenders. Once the armies of Savoia and Phoenix dominated the globe, striking fear to the hearts of their enemies. But now the invasion of Phoenix lands by forces lead by the Icepick warlord has broken this country, and few believe that the Phoenix can follow his namesake and rise again from the ashes. Thus the mighty Savoia is left to stand alone against the triumvirate, like a bear besieged at all sides by wolves. Realizing a final war will be at great cost to all, the triumvirate offer a laurel branch to the Savoia nation. If the noble warrior will concede his claim to the crown, he will be named first Warlord, and given a ranking in the new empire second only to The Three. His nation will thus be forever preserved, and his name shall be mentioned with honor for all time. The great Savioa looks around, and realizes other allies can be found. Still, in his heart he knows that even if he puts forth a heroic effort, his chances of rallying the lesser powers remaining and winning the crown in league with them are uncertain at best when he considers the might and prowess of the three generals arrayed against him. Weary of civil war, desiring to spare his nation, and wishing to return eventually to his scholarly pursuits, the Great Savoia reluctantly accepts the triumvirate's offer. Thus a new empire is declared over all the lands of IceWorld. All warlords are called to court to pay homage to the new Emperors, Lord MunchMunch, Lord Icepick, and Lord Escher. Free beer will be provided, and Subbie awards to be announced at that time.
