Re: Figment - Early Game (Sign Up Now!)

I think the diplomacy in this game would make great reading in an AAR, if anyone can actually work out what the heck is going on....

O'Reeeeeaaaally? Well then Vanheim set us both up real good. I'll let the most deceptive player then take my lands (fitting!). I can't fight two wars regardless so I'm taking one of you with me!

Here I come Sauro! All my apes are gathering, all my long bows are ready. My demons are hungry and the gold is gleaming from my sacred gorillas! Our goal is to head strait for your capital and to rip down your castle and pillage the provinces to nothingness!

Pull back all your forces, marshal all your hosts!

If you want to talk terms do it through PM, but do it quick.

Yargul One-Eye\'s Tale of War

Tis true the words of the Swamp King. Lanka you are the victim of having at least 2 screwy neighbors.

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon17.gif[/img] Gather round the fire and Yargulf One-Eye will tell ye the tale:

A particularly inept Van squad led by Stagbold the Flatulent was caught tramping around the Sauro swamps (apparently stealth and glamour were not enough to conceal Stagbold's problem).

This initiated a chain of events that led to a web of entangelement so complicated Vanheim almost declared war on itself:
Sauro went ballistic on Van, rightfully so, and threatened to turn all of Vanheim into lizard stew. Ths led to Sauro reaching out to Lanka to fight Van, Lanka agreeing to screw Van, Van begging Sauro to forgive Stagbold, Sauro retracting its offer to Lanka, Van declaring war on Lanka for entertaining Sauro's misguided offer, and Lanka threatening to burn Sauro to the ground.

And if you can figure that out then you know where we stand.

That's the spirit! Tir had given this game up for dead, but now are emboldened. Tir now comes forth Sauromatia. You may pray for deliverance.

You left out the part where you blab every PM that your neighbors send you to any other party for your own gain.

*note to self: Never negotiate with Don*

Re: Yargul One-Eye\'s Tale of War

Tir Na N'og resents the total ignoring of their part in the war against Sauromatia. True, we are very weak in the overall scheme of things, but we have killed hundreds of Sauromatians, and repelled several attacks on our capitol by them. Our God Larry is undefeated against them. And we will soon strike back against their oppression of our former provinces.

O' Reeeeeaaaallly?

Geez the amount of lies and false promises given out by both Sauromatia at Vanheim is pretty disgusting.

(edit: once the 3 turn NAP is over you can have my lands Vanheim. I'm going to bring all my resources to bear and try to completely squash Sauro if at all possible. Heck I'll even give you my gems when I'm done!)

Wow, wow, slow down Velusion. There are too many accusations floating around already.

I didn't lie to anybody, and I *never* break any in-game agreements, neither in this game no in any other games of mine. And I've been playing MP Dominions 2/3 for several years.

You have attacked me this turn without declaration of war. Vanheim did the same (or so I thought). Your attack I have repelled, since I saw it coming last turn when you have suddenly moved 2 armies to my border and ignored my messenger. But stealth attack by Vanheim caught me completly by surprise, and he conquered my province next to the castle that I just successfully defended against your armies. I assume you have put some scouts over my territory in preparation for your attack? They can confirm my words - see that new red province to the west of my castle?

Now because you and Vanheim both attacked me at the same time and at the same spot, naturally I've assumed that you are acting together in alliance against me. Clearly you are strong and experienced player, so ask yourself please - would you not assume the same if you would be in my shoes?

Since I knew I have no chance in hell of winning the war against both you and Vanheim, and after I didn't get reply to my "WTH?!?" PM from Vanheim, I have tried to convince you to break away from your alliance with Vanheim. Re-read my original PM to you that I've sent two hours ago. It is very clear that I was acting based upon an assumption that you and Vanheim are attacking me together. I spelled it in the beginning of the letter.

But then I have received PM from Vanheim who said that his attack on me was just an accident - he was simply moving stealth troops over my territory, and that he didn't want to attack me. He apologized for this accident and I believe him.

After that I've sent my 2nd message to you, explaining the situation in details and apologizing for my own role in confusion.

I swear that every word of this letter is true, that's what happened this turn. You can ask Vanheim if you like. And you have your own scouts to confirm it.

If you still don't want to believe me - it's your choice. But frankly I was very surprised that you blame me for some "lies and deception".

Now if you want to go after me with all you have - that's fine. You have attacked me this turn yourself, didn't you? If you for some unknown reason will decide to throw this game to one nation or another - I don't think it is a very sportsman-like choice - but it's your call, I can't do anything about it.

But I dislike being blamed for something that I have no part in whatsoever.

What did I say that Corwin hadn't already said?

What PM did I mention?

I had more to gain by remaining silent, but would rather defend someone who was accused of being deceitful and whose post referenced me confirming their words!

Better to feel it now than later.

Wasn't Lanka supposed to be banned?
