−	[[Fog of War]] IV - Once Within a Fog so Dreary - ~~coming Spring~~ 2008!	+	[[Fog of War]] IV - Once Within a Fog so Dreary - was the 5th game in the increasingly innacurately named [[Fog of War]] Trilogy. It was played in 2008, and was won by a group of 6, the Map Makers Alliance. Throughout the course of the game verses were released. Upon completion, the poem went...
		+
		+	Once within a fog so dreary, embark a group to test their theory<BR>
		+	O’er many a quaint and curious set of foggy maps galore<BR>
		+	Begins this game of warful scrapping, alliances, and clever stabbing<BR>
		+	Of unfortunate souls that are caught napping, mapping at the very core.<BR>
		+	Tis a neighbor you’ll discover – attacking, he will try to score<BR>
		+	A victory, and nothing more.
		+
		+	Ah distinctly I recall, it was in that foggy sprawl,<BR>
		+	That each and every players' scrawl, they'd sent to me without deplore.<BR>
		+	Eagerly anticipating finding who's participating<BR>
		+	in the deals they'd been stating, building up a good rapport<BR>
		+	While others seeking something more, lash out with their armies for<BR>
		+	Their neighbor’s land – declaring war
		+
		+	Peering thru that foggy curtain, many things you find uncertain<BR>
		+	Thrilling, filling with fantastic terrors never felt before;<BR>
		+	So that now to still the beating of your heart I stand repeating<BR>
		+	of the centers you are needing for your land to grow to four.<BR>
		+	But you wonder never certain if your land will sink or soar<BR>
		+	For maybe some have grown by more.
		+
		+	Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating, then no longer,<BR>
		+	"Sir," said I, "or Monster, truly your forgiveness I implore;<BR>
		+	But the fact is I was searching thru this land of monsters lurching<BR>
		+	From the shadows armed and perching, waiting for the time to score<BR>
		+	That I scarce was sure I knew this land was played on ground and shore<BR>
		+	But I sense below there’s more.
		+
		+	Aye, into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, <BR>
		+	Doubting, dreaming dreams no player ever dared to dream before; <BR>
		+	But the silence was unbroken, as the aforementioned token <BR>
		+	of good will best went unspoken for what I've been taken for. <BR>
		+	This I feared, is what becomes me as my centers dwindle more <BR>
		+	While others near the two times four.
		+
		+	While we bear this slight delay, with players shouting, screaming, Hey -<BR>
		+	I need my moves, it's time to play and see what fruits my orders bore<BR>
		+	We look around and see what that is in our box tonight a status <BR>
		+	of the game and what thereat is deep below the ocean floor<BR>
		+	Let thy heart be still a moment as we hold for one day more<BR>
		+	Results out soon, both sweet and sore
		+
		+	Promptly to the game returning, less one empire adjourning <BR>
		+	Taking from this loss a learning how to use the fog of war <BR>
		+	Nothing further shall be muttered, not a feather will be fluttered <BR>
		+	by their parrots - fried and buttered feeding those who played hardcore <BR>
		+	Now the beaten pirates leave us as they ponder days of yore <BR>
		+	Ladys, mateys... Nevermore
		+
		+	Taking a substantial beating, once great empires now fleeting<BR>
		+	Hoping they will not be meeting with the Pirates out the door<BR>
		+	But the fact is some were catching up on sleep; others dispatching<BR>
		+	Forces to their border-- scratching, snatching up their centers for<BR>
		+	A purpose that will sure not suit them if they wish that good rapport<BR>
		+	Elimination – and nothing more
		+
		+	Now we bid our fondest farewell to the undead who dont dare dwell<BR>
		+	with the living - sent their caravels to the deepest ocean floor.<BR>
		+	With them go the Samurai, who with one last valiant BONSAI<BR>
		+	find that they too have come up dry in their search for something more.<BR>
		+	Pray that you will not soon chase them out this toughest game of war...<BR>
		+	For some near 30! (in base four)
		+
		+	Once again a day goes by without results, you wonder why…<BR>
		+	Your GM is a busy guy! And couldn’t run the turn before.<BR>
		+	But do not fret this game delayed, with visions straight and courses stayed<BR>
		+	We get back to the fields frayed and scattered full of elven lore<BR>
		+	Of hidden moves in wooded lands that only serves to underscore<BR>
		+	That in this game, they are no more.
		+
		+	To this game an end proposed – to some, agreement is supposed<BR>
		+	But any single one opposed is all it takes to further pour<BR>
		+	Your heart into this foggy game in hopes that someday you’ll proclaim<BR>
		+	The happy end for which you came to darken lands of blood and gore.<BR>
		+	But looking back the archers, gnomes, and ogres tried their best to score<BR>
		+	A victory – But nevermore.
		+
		+	Once within a fog so dreary, embarked a group of 19 leery<BR>
		+	of what they’d find behind this eerie curtain of cryptic rhymed décor.<BR>
		+	From them grew the MMA, a group of six… we saw them lay<BR>
		+	The premise for a brighter day – then looking back they did no more.<BR>
		+	Allegiance proved the winning tide as all the others did subside<BR>
		+	And grant the six their greatest pride… A brilliant end to this our war. <BR>
		+	Congrats to all who dared explore this game that now is Haven lore.<BR>
		+	Shall quoth this Raven, Nevermore
