I was actually suggesting that simply reduce the size of the bequest. 30 gems makes sense. 200+ is worth a couple of powerful globals or a wish, at least.

Well, it would be just as good to reduce the size of the nation receiving the bequest! In Shinuyama's case, Ulm has already done that. It would be the fitting culmination of what Ulm has been working for, and thus this gift would satisfy everybody involved!

you all had your chance to get on my nice side, I even announced the hammer before.. it's no more than usual to give your ally stuff if you go out. I just gave what I had to give to my faithfull ally Ulm.

Ulm is about the only nation that was nice to me the last couple of turns.. he gave me cash without even knowing I had this kind of amount of gems around (hell I didn't even know I just couldn't really do much with them)

Not to mention some of my neighbours had already taken advantage of the turns I was away and Ulm wasn't among those.

If you all want to turn on Ulm now I'm not stopping you though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Alms for the poor.....Alms for the poor?

Azael....since coming into this game late as a sub as C'tis, a little parting gift to someone who has had nothing but worship and adoration for the masters of Astral knowledge would be most welcome!!!!

Aezeal, you are rapidly becoming one of my least favorite people to play with. Your utter lack of empathy for the rest of the people here kind of disgusts me.

You didn't even ask for that province back, you demanded it, and I continued to do what I had been planning to do all along.

Now you say you're not done helping Ulm win, you're going to give him 300 gems and one of the most useful artifacts in the game.

All you have done since you got back is derive your joy from upsetting others. It's ridiculous. Go then, and send all your crap to Ulm - but do not ever ask me for a NAP, or gem/item trade in another game. I should have just annexed Pythium the day that you left, would have saved a lot of grief.

And just to set the record straight, I am not mad you're not sending your crap to me - I don't think it should go to ANYONE - and your reasoning for sending to Ulm is less than thin, it is blatantly disrespectful and insulting to everyone else BUT Ulm.

It is a learning experience: If you are going to attack someone while he is in Mexico, then KILL HIM. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Anyway what of Ermor in all this? They are relatives! Have you no care for your relatives?

Be careful jimkehn as you ask for alms--you might get Ulms instead! (this pun is worth 50 gems)

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

HAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!

That was good and if I had 50 spare gems I would send them!!!

Wish I'da thought of that!!

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Also, if your "ally" leaves for some huge amount of time without going AI or finding a sub, kill him as well. It's the neighborly thing to do, and if you don't, it'll come back to haunt you.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

It's weird that nobody ever volunteered to play for him, given all these people we have wanting to play turns more frequently. But maybe all those people were already in Aquarium at the time.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Seconded. Not only was this not the only incident in this game alone, but the behavior has been consistent through most of the games I have been in with him.
