I got a rude telegram from Noldoria, saying they hope I am never allowed to enter Middle Earth again and insulting me.

May I ask why? -I don't encourage that attitude towards some others, my goal and roll is just to keep away raiders and that every has a good time- and I know this kind of events may be a little stressful for some...

Noldoria was angry because I infected people.

Ok, I don't encourage that as i said. But as a region we want to see if we can survive Z-Day... This year it was not very planned by the Council nor anyone in fact most of the nations hear are innactive that why it is so hard to control the zombies... We are like 7 nations (without puppets) fighting for the whole region.

This always bothers me, because we don't have an active community. And when we do, is just a very little group of nations...

Well we're 27th on Most Survivors, which isn't bad for a bunch of hobbits, dwarves, elves and.. well we can't agree on exactly what I am but regardless..

I believe there are no zombies left in Middle Earth.

With three hours to spare.

Just went through every nation, and I believe you are correct.

I need some sleep.

Looks like Middle Earth got #19 in the "Most Survivors & No Infected Category" - that seems pretty good to me. I am curious, however - and would like to see a ranking - of percentage survivors & no infected (for regions w/ atleast, say, 100 billion total population). Anyone feel like compiling that? By my calculation, we ended with just over 50 billion dead, giving us a survivor fraction of just over %94.38. I for one never shot anyone. I'm curious how we compare with other regions in that regard.

Dwarven mines, I will filter out nations that I know to be puppets from your list of participants, giving:

Bombadil
Dwarf
Lady eowyn
Thorin oakenshield
Dwarven mines (I saw you sending out cure missiles also, so don't forget to list yourself)
Luinil
Middleearth
Tolkien
Lobelia sackville-baggins
Noldoria

On a completely unrelated note, Lady Eowyn, do you recall how imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Well, look at this nation: The Lady Eowyn

Thanks for the shout-out :) It's hardly deserved, though, as I was only able to participate quite late and then only sporadically. I do wish these events would be held on a weekend...

Nice looking dispatch, Dwarven mines. Did you put your flag's symbol of the crossed picks and hammer on Gimli's chest-plate, or was it already a part of the image?

Yeah similar, mostly I wiped up a couple million on nations Noldoria had mostly cured. Although I get it's alphabetical I definitely don't deserve top billing.

But you help in the fight... we are 97 nations and only 11 fought for Middle Earth!

Oh, very cool. It turned out nicely, well done.

What do you use to make the images? I ask because I've been slowly teaching myself to use Inkscape over the past year, and would be interested to hear other folks' methods. My process now resembles a cobbled-together catastrophe, but it gets the job done and is quite a fun time.

Well thank you very much, to be frank I did not put much effort to that one in particular, I'll send you a telegram with what I use to make images.

I lost my ring, has anyone seen it?

This Dwarven mines design looks great too. Even if we don't have it as flag, it could appear some more. For example like a seal on dispatches.

Read dispatch

P.S. Could a regional officer perhaps unpin the N-Day dispatch? Nuclear war is a bit anachronistic in these parts.
