@.@

All I can say is mog.

Hopefully nobody's suffering too badly economically while that drags on...

Usually nations avoid taking DNH ports. On Roberts, we prefer that a map is won with skill in port battles rather than beating the opponents into submission so they crawl under a rock until it's over.

It happens, but not very often.

On the current Roberts map, each nation except pirates have been in the lead and close to the finish line.

Come play a Brit on Roberts, we are an interesting collection!

To be sure, there have been, blood, sweat and tears (and much burnout!) in this map cycle on Roberts, along with some simply epicly fun clashes.

I cannot recall such intense systematic attacks on a possible map leader on any other server.

I'd go odds on for the Dons to fall over the line by sheer willpower, unless the French and the Brit can co-ordinate in a meaningful way. Right now the permanent points are slowly inching towards critical mass. I wonder which ports have not been taken!

I agree that having to hit other ports to make DNH vunerable is a great idea. A 2 hour PB wind for all would be good as well! I think having both your DNH's attacked by 2 separate nations an hour apart shouldn't happen.

Go Kerrilyn, you tell em!

We've had troubles with DNHs being infested lately on teh Rack, it's not pritty.

Yah definitely should have a gap between DNH battles. Having to choose which DNH to defend would be... divisive...
