As the clouds gather, Yoshi and his friends continue journeys, as well as talking with friends and plotting against enemies. While the Floppy Fish at Rocky Road Coast will HOLD (resolved), the Floppy Fish in Lots O' Jellyfish will MOVE to Yoshi Falls (resolved). The Spear Guy at Yoshi's House will HOLD to help reclaim Yoshi's home (resolved). Yoshi will MOVE to Burning Tide Coast (retreat).

Donkey Kong Country

Kongo Pond support Burning Tide Coast to Fiery Stronghold (resolved)
Chain Chomp Cove to Penguin Lake (resolved)

Waluigi: Tidal Coast MOVE Sunbaked Sand Castle (resolved)
Waluigi: Shifting Sands MOVE Cloudy Coast (SLIP to Sea Turtle Rocks)
Scarracuda SUPPORT Shifting Sands to Cloudy Coast (order does not correspond)

Things really get interesting this turn! Both Boo and Mario intentionally bounce themselves in their own territories. Donkey Kong finally uses his ability and throw a banana to slip up his enemy, and foil Wario's plan of taking Cloudy Coast back. Yoshi gets blitzed again and loses a supply center. Guppy and Boo seem to have some coordination going on, but Guppy seems to be gaining quite a bit more as he advances on the nearly defenseless Bowser. Bowser has got to break eventually and use his ability before it's too late! Mario sits in his corner of th map pretty comfortably, avoiding conflict. But maybe it's hero time for him. Will he come soon to aid the weak?

Mario World II 1982 spring retreat

Wario Land (Tooth1066)

Cloudy Coast RETREAT Frigid Sea (resolved)




Alright, it's time for the fall turn. It's a pivotal moment for anyone now, especially Bowser, with two territories to defend from Guppy's hermit crab army! Madness will soon begin!

No stories from anyone. :(

So here's mine:

Guppy is showing himself to be more and more of a threat as he, with the help of Boo, takes Bowser's warp pipe without resistance. Donkey Kong forces a retreat for the six-strong Wario, but at the same time, Wario sends half of his forces to combat the king of Kongo Jungle. Mario makes a move towards the warp pipe while Donkey Kong sends a unit there himself. Yoshi reclaims his house, and hopes for it to last as Guppy speeds away. All the way to the west, there is a stand-off between Yoshi, Mario and Guppy. Who will break it first? Mario has made the first move to do so. As it is, Mario, Bowser, and Donkey Kong withheld the use of their abilities. Mario has to wait until next spring to be able to activate his abilities. But it seems with Donkey Kong's help, Mario may not ever need to use a super mushroom, as he is making gains just as well as anyone else.

Mario World Fall 1981 build

Wario Land (Tooth1066)

Army: The West Crater (build)
Army: Volcano's Base (build)
Army: Sea Turtle Rocks (build)

Bowser's Kingdom (coolcam262)

Bulid penguin in koopa troopa castle (build)
Build bowser in bowsers castle (invalid order, only one hero allowed on the board per player.)

Boo's Haunted Domain (Firestorm94)

Army Boo's Mansion (build)

Guppy Bight (The Doctor)

Fleet in Guppy's Gulf (build)
Fleet Secret Undersea Cavern (build)

Yoshi's Island (wmlawman)

Build an army on Burt the Bashful's Fort (build)

Mushroom Kingdom (jstott the creative)

Build fleet Donut Plains (build)
Build Army Peaches Castle (build)

Mario stood at the edge of the field. He could see the feral swordfish off at the coast, resting. He knew it was just a matter of time before that fish came to get him, along with all the other fish in the sea.
He opened a portal to Peaches Castle, where his generals were, and ordered the rousing of one group of militia from the peasants around the castle, and for a whale to be captured off the coast of Donut Plains, to begin the necessity that is war.

Donkey Kong Country (Thungbard)

Fleet in Cotton Top Cove (build)
Army in Chimp Caverns (build)

So Boo reveals himself on the warp pipe (so he didn't get very far). Wario builds three armies, waging a land war perhaps on both his northern and southern fronts. Yoshi sends a spear shy guy to attempt to defend his country. Will he prevail, or will Yoshi, like last time, fall first?
Guppy, Wario, Yoshi, and Boo have all used their abilities already, but Bowser, Mario, and Donkey Kong have been saving theirs. Is next turn the time to unleash their powers, or will they continue to use restraint? Will Mario go super-mushroom and take all he can from Donkey Kong? Will Donkey Kong start throwing bananas, sending all opponents slipping away from him? Will Bowser heat things up and rain down fire upon his enemies? These are uncertain times, and I am quite uncertain as to what will happen next. Let's find out!

Boo's Haunted Domain (Firestorm94)

Wavy Waters S Boo Warp Pipe -> Guppy Warp Pipe (not reachable)
Boo Warp Pipe -> Guppy Warp Pipe (bounced)
Freezeflame Coast H

Mushroom Kingdom (jstott)

Kingfin's Killer Waters - Freezie coast (resolved)
Donut Plains - Donut Plains 2 (resolved)
Donut Plains 2 - Bubble blaster (resolved)

Mario walked up to the sand bank, and picked up a rock. He looked out to sea - already he could see Yoshi's hideous Puffafish o' War was floating, just waiting for some innocent young lady for them to kidnap. It was his duty, nay, his honour, to protect Peach and her two sisters. So, he decided to send off Peach's sister Pear off to go with his navy. He sent Cheri off to stay with the army of Toads. They were a bit rough, but Cheri could handle herself. But Peach would stay with him.
He threw the rock out to sea and began trekking the coastline.

Yoshi's Island (wmlawman)

As the seasons turn, fall approaches and the waters grow cold. Tired from fun in the sun, splashing and playing, Yoshi and his pals prepare to swim ashore for some rest during the long winter's nights. Yoshi swims from the Jungle Puddle to the Fiery Stronghold. (Mmm, nice and toasty!)(resolved) The Floppsy Fish in Lots O' Jellyfish, grateful not to be stung, swims to Penguin Land (bounced). Finally, the Floppy Fish in Yoshi Falls swims to the Rocky Road Coast. (resolved)

SUCCESS!! No NMR's! No retreats, so we'll go straight to the build 1981.

As the battle for Mario World unfolds, Guppy shows his true speed as he blitzes Yoshi's house, turning it light blue. Mario's expansion continues unimpeded as well, and Bowser is the only one going for the islands in the northeast. Bowser continues to turn Boo's territory red as he goes along. Wario grabs three supply centers, making him a good deal more powerful. What I still can't tell is who is allied with who?! Nothing clear has been coming up in that area, so we'll just have to sit and wait until next year for most of you to show your true colors.



The builds are as follows:

Wario (Tooth1066)--3 builds
Donkey Kong (Thungbard)--2 builds
Mario (jstott)--2 builds
Guppy (The Doctor)--2 builds
Bowser (coolcam262)--2 builds
Boo (Firestorm94)--1 build
Yoshi (wmlawman)--1 build
