    Son of a.... who destroyed my legion?

    I'm assuming it was a event? The sickening part is I have the event that prevents other events being played... Oh well, I'm pretty sure that's me screwed then. The basis of my plan was to eliminate Auraynx on my first turn...

    Who would have guessed it doesn't pay to be greedy in hell?

    Nope, not boned. Pretty well-off, in fact.

    Have any games ended in a simple prestige victory? The maker's blog says he predicts three quarters of games end this way but Ive never seen one that didnt end in excommunication eliminations.

    The first one did, it might not count as all other players had dropped out (intimidated by my massive prestige lead no doubt).

    The way the end results are fairly calculable, it does encourage you to make death or glory bids toward the end if you don't think you've got the required prestige.

    Yeah I was looking at the scores, and I figured Auralynx was going to pip me at the post. Then I saw an opportunity to eliminate him...

    Well, the other end is that I was actually stacking up on secret goals. I had about 60 prestige banked.

    No worries.

    Two tokens left!

    Wolf running out of legions!

    Where did Auralynx get all that prestige from?!

    You guys let me sit on a big stretch of hexes with 2 PoPs for a long time. It's been adding up.

    Well if you want to help, just buy a couple more artifacts for me to steal :P

    Having finally looked at the turn, I'm pretty sure your legion thinks you should've stolen my Crown sooner so I couldn't have incinerated them. ;)

    Which also explains the Prestige jump, btw.

    Welp I'm dead. Off on Christmas break now so we'll have to clear this up in the New Year. Merry yuletide all.

    Well it looks like Auralynx is going to take my stronghold in the next turn or 2 - so its stopping on a cliffhanger!

    Scary solstice, fellow cultists. See you after the extended period of pagan rituals.

    New Year! New push on to the inevitable end!

    I've got jako's and Body's so in this slimmed field we're just waiting on @Auralynx and @BigBadWolf

    Sorry, thought I'd submitted it before I went away for Xmas! You should have received my turn now.

    I'm a bad man and promptly forgot this. Slap me more if I do that again.

    And maybe don't maliciously eliminate your host next time :rotate:

    8 tokens gone so not much more to go.

    Holy shit what? Wolf eliminated everyone else? Did I somehow miss several turns, or am I just forgetting something or did it all happen in a single turn?

    Edit: durr, had somehow mislabeled the PA4 save so the game didn't show up properly from inside SI, and thus clicked on the only available multiplayer game, PA3.

    And another one down.

    Only one token left.

    Man, getting sent the save file and opening the game just to find out you're dead is pretty brutal. Not like I had much chance of going anywhere anyway, but still.

    Also, never trust Wolf. I mean, we're all devils, so it's expected. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, though.

    Good lord, Wolf, how do you have the order slots left over to beat everyone else up while holding me off? :|

    I've got 4 order slots. Considering I'm only moving the one legion - it leaves me with rather a lot of spare moves... Its basically all tribute and rituals at this point!

    I had 5 order slots, but I think I maybe overfocused on boosting my avatar stats this time, instead of actually like, using them for something.

    Oof. I'm next on the warpath, aren't I.

    No worries. My totally awesome legions can handle Wolf's!

    Oh, well there you go. What happened to Wolf's legion guarding his stronghold? Melted by destruction rituals?

    It's got to all be over soon. My money's on Auralynx.

    I won't know for sure til I get home but I've been raining fire in it for like 6 turns. Probably got through the check finally.

    E: Yep. While banishing his Orb of Oblivion back to his stronghold. I'm not sure what it did but I figured Oblivion > Fire so it might have been an issue.

    Ding, dong, the Wolf is dead.

    We stagger on for another turn. Though at this point MrBody would need to pull of something spectacular. Still, second place and still alive is quite an accomplishment in a game that bloody!

    ... I am beginning to suspect that it was not Wolf who was holding me off at all, based on last turn.

    Sneaky!

    No, the very last one implicated you. It actually makes a certain amount of sense for you to have been in the tank for him, considering you're the other last man standing!

    Either way, let's see how long before that last token comes up.

    The irony of it: I had Power Behind the Throne. I was really hoping one of you guys would give me a reason to surrender to you and throw fire at your opponents so I could win via the back door.

    So were you actually working together, @MrBody / @BigBadWolf ?

    Also big thanks to @Capfalcon for saving my bacon from Wolf's monster legion.
