Maybe Grog just died of old age.

The Voxian immortal in the picture is Eli the Eliminator and you havent seen the last of him!

Now that is some good-old trash-talk, Eli!
I think most of our team (and any observer) will concede that Voxian Immortals are amazing at assaulting little girls. Xerxes would have been proud.

It kinda proves the "And then most recently - the final straw - GS observer warriors moving off of their negotiated positions to cut key road links within Vox." to be the lie it is as well.

Well, if you look closely, Grog's body is off the mountain... so I guess it's all kind of relative...

Vicious slander! A true Hero of the Stormian Republic such as Grog would never join the Tyrannical forces of Vox in their aggression against his homeland!
|
He has spent a few thousand years on that mountain talking to our missionaries. Being so far from home, do you think they would have no affect on him?

True.
Additional evidence of Voxian lies and atrocities: we've caught Eli peeing in this coast tile.
I added lots of Photoshop effects to back my statement (sorry, couldn't help it).

If you look even closer, there isn't a road S of the mountain.

Yes, that actually seems possible...
Judging from Eli's picture, he may have gotten dizzy and fallen off of that mountain.

Does this mean that Vox is using biological weapons?
Add that to our list of casus bellis.

Our spies have infiltrated The Voice and made a startling discovery, secreting away a painting of 'The One'.
Too bad this guy doesn't know how to count.

Note that my own references to Vox being "cheats" had smileys after them. I'm not at all happy at Vox's behavior, but I'm willing to keep my in-game view of the team as liars and cheats separate from my view of the team members in real life. In-game betrayal does not equate to real-life betrayal.
On the other hand, how many top Japanese officials were welcomed into the American leadership after World War II? Vox's attack was an even worse breach of faith than Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, and under those circumstances, welcoming Voxians into our team after their eventual defeat would seem somewhat out of character.

As a non-player but an occasional viewer of the threads in this forum, I'm delighted with the turn of events. The game is now getting interesting to a disinterested observer.
The avatar wars of SR and Eli are particularly clever and entertaining!

Once a demo game war spreads to the avatars, you KNOW it's something big!

You all must admit we really made this game fun. How much more interenting it is now that we are at war with our southern neighbors.

But why would Lego or NeuD or GoW or RP name one of their units Grog? I don't understand.

Do you feel the whole world is against you? Perhaps Vox needs therapy instead of a butt-whooping. Gathering Storm can only provide the latter, unfortunately.

We tried therapy but it didn't work. Still too much 'aggression' the shrink said. He suggested hard drugs and a war.
