If I had a nickle per view...

 

Well... I'd have over 7,800 nickles that I would have to put into coin rolls and deposit into the bank.  Ugh....

This report is compiled as of midnight server, Jan 27.

18 Alliances on the leaderboard.

No changes in the top 5.

2,710,677 casualties

About 125K new casualties.

 

At the Northwest flag:

Peace (Rupe) sent 1 army.  Curse reinforced with 8 armies.

 

At the North Flag:

This flag heated up today, Big Time.  26 armies arrived today.  Curse is making a major assault to push Peace off this flag as part of Curse's effort to claim the #2 Overall.  At 12:27, Curse Attacked and cleared the last of Peace armies from the flag and the flag was left unoccupied.  My last scout arrived at 19:45 and Peace had recaptured the flag with 2 troops in Cuzdeath's army from his nearby Capital.  A Peace (Pasi) army arrived just in time to defeat the last Curse army of the day.  I doubt this is over.

 

18 Curse armies arrived today causing 35,028 casualties.  Special mention to Lady AHF's attack causing 10,639 casualties.

 

1 GOON army arrived.

 

7 Peace armies reinforced.

 

At the East Flag:

When we left this flag yesterday, GOON as trying to retake this flag from H?.  GOON achieved this goal, but Curse is also making a push to take this flag.  Again, this is part of Curse's goal of claiming the #2 Overall.

 

Possession changes:

H? => unoccupied

Unoccupied => GOON

GOON => Curse

Curse => GOON

 

13 Curse armies arrived today, as did 15 GOON, and 2 H? armies.

 

At the SE flag:

1 Dlord army challenged VIC, today, along with 4 H? armies and 1 WE (RMY-Sgt.Shanks) army.  I do not know for certain, but I think this is the first appearance of WE in the tourney.

 

At the W flag:

Peace secured victory at the west flag today.  Congratulations to Peace!

 

When we left the West flag on Jan 26 it was held by Peace.  93 armies arrived today.

 

Armies arriving today: 2 0-0; 42 Curse; 14 GOON; 5 H?; 1mCrow; 43 Peace; 1 Sir; and, 3 VIC.

 

Possession changes (there is a lot of action here and I am certain that there are possession changes that I could not identify):

Peace => GOON

GOON => Peace

Peace => GOON

GOON => Curse

Curse => GOON

GOON => Curse

Curse => Peace

Peace => H?

H? => Curse

Curse => GOON

GOON => Peace

Peace => Curse

Curse => H?

H? => Curse

Curse => Peace/GOON

Peace/GOON => Curse

Curse => GOON

GOON => 0-0 (BecBlue)

 

At the end of the day, 0-0 held this flag!

 

Special note:  This is sad, so please brace yourself.  BecBlue celebrated Australia Day  on Jan 26 and she suffered a terrible accident.  It seems that her very nice, white t-shirt made contact with water causing quite a stir on Global Chat.  I know I am having a very hard time getting the image of this outrageous accident out of my mind.

 

Despite this shocking accident I enjoyed Australia Day, too.  Let's face it, on Australia Day everyone is Australian!

 

4 days remain in the tourney.  Curse follows Peace by 4 days, 21 hours.  Curse has made some progress in their quest for #2 Overall.  Time is not on Curse's side and Curse gained only 5 hours against Peace's lead today.  Peace is in dire need of reinforcements at the north flag.  But Curse reached for 4 flags: NW, N, E, and W.  This is coming down to the wire.  For many flags from many players, armies should be marching now to arrive during the tourney.

 

As always, Good Hunting and Good Gaming to all!
