| Grinding of the worst kind. |
As things currently stand, there is _significant_ advantage to frequently checking the blog to see if the lights have just turned off, so you can sneak off to another room and avoid being attacked (or, if you’re a Murderer, to attack before anyone can move away). This will be the… |

| “Consecutive” questionnaire |
All rune sequences that we deal with this Dynasty are likely to be finite in length, so I think we can agree that it will be unnecessary to ever specify “finite sequence” from here on. We will, however, be needing to refer to one sequence being “inside” another, and the… |

From the Ruleset: “Each Dynasty is headed by a single Player, known as the Leader” “When a DoV passes, all other active DoVs are failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the Player who made the DoV as its Leader.” “The Hiatus continues until the new Leader posts an Ascension… |

| Skirmish the 4th: The Final Chapter |
Clucky wins an Artistry Skirmish with a Skirmish Rating of 18 (Chivalrybean 12, aaronwinborn 10, Amnistar Jack and spikebrennan 4, lots of zeroes, Yoda and Rodlen negative, Bahro -25) even though the expected artistic assistance from Heimdall was absent. Abe Lincoln becomes female. Emperor Norton causes Bahro to lose a… |

| Skirmish 3: The Return of Charisma |
Notes on the most recent skirmish: Pharoh Necho gets -2 and +1 to Charisma from his abilities. Loki gives -2 to Charisma for each of Clucky’s Einherjar; Churchill raises Shakespeare and Hildegard to his level. Totaling up the Skirmish Ratings, Asgard clearly beats Folkvangr, and aaronwinborn has the highest, with… |

This means that lots of new recruits are available. They all have special attributes, so please check the wording and report any anomalies. Oh, and please bid on them! We’ve just had another (rather good, in my opinion) Einherjar sell for 1 Acorn. |

Passed out Einherjar to the high bidders, and took the opportunity of an empty unrecruited list to run a skirmish (the skirmish rule needs work concerning this issue). Loki has challenged us to a dance-off! Jeanne d’Arc, Beowulf, and Lola Montez attracted the largest crowds of onlookers by far, while… |

Early this morning, a small group of 14 Einherjar raided the Library of Loki. Their mission was to locate and steal back a small number of powerful spellbooks that fell into enemy hands last month. Under General Tzu’s command, they effortlessly defeated the small force guarding the Library. After locating… |
