We of the Pride are not demanding that sole access to those be given to us, the wendigo; (I assume that's what you meant by free access) we are demanding that we be given ownership of them. Should you want the right to colonize those systems we have asked for, you shall recieve that right; we are only asking to the intergalactic community to recognize our right to give you that right by ways of barter and diplomacy.

My right is the right of the first settled.
If you have forgotten to grab Electrum planets for a year now, while we were all busy fighting Dei, too bad for you.

It is true that we have not aided your nation and other nations militarily during your struggles against the Electrum Empire; and if I understood you correctly, yes, we did maintain diplomatic links and trade with Electrum, and in doing so, possibly the deis. But I ask you, my dear marshal, what would you have done in my position? Declare open war against Electrum, and sacrifice the entire pride to 100-strong dreadnought fleets of his? Do you really think we had a chance with our defunct police force of light cruisers against his armada? We nations that lack in force have in large quantities of wisdom; wisdom that has saved us from being a martyr to your so-called heroic struggle against Electrum and others. And you also say that we had supplied Electrum with our resources? I believe that you are mistaken, for nations that control 20 planets cannot logically feed the war machine of an empire that controls 100.

We have proposed to you to join our alliance, Flesh eaters, Arterias, Royal corpo and even Dog warriors have done so, you could have helped too, but in fact you're a coward, aren't you ?

OoC: Alarikf, yes, politics are fun. I'd love to continue territorial disputes with just about everyone in the game, especially WarDad and Trooper , but unfortunatey, I'll be without internet access until July 12th, due to my moving of dwellings. I'll try to issue orders and queue up on things so that the game could run on schedule during my absence.

OoC: Trooper, what do you mean by PMs? I don't remember getting any PMs of yours?

Very unfortunate, indeed. Remember "absent ones are always wrong".

I've send an alliance proposal using political Messages, but maybe you've missed the turn...
Made another one one or two turns ago.
