Strange. It seems to me that that's exactly what you have been doing so far in all your Posts on this matter.

Cainehill, your arguments doesn't make much sense to me. If you thought that using email and isntant Messages on for diplomacy, intelligence sharing between turns, trading, etc. is against the spirit of the game, much less "cheating" as you put it in yor post, why didn't you say so when we begin to play???

For what else do you think we meet on the ICR channle if not to have opprtunity to communcicate between the turns? You did it yourslef many times sending privite Messages to me, in both IRC and email.

As for my part, I've send on turn 1 (!) message to everyone, telling than that to speed up comunication and to conduct dimplomacy efficiently I suggest we use email, like we always do in all Dom2 MP games that I've played. I even went so far as to send everybody my email address. You you had any issue with that you should say so back than. Instead you never said a word about it before, but now you are puting the show of shock and distaste. Sorry, but I can't buy it.

As for alliances - I already expaliend to you. If you think that alliance between weaker nations against opponent who much stronger than each of them separetly and is clearly going to dominate the map very soon (as Caelum did) is dishonorable , you will never going to win any serious MP Dom2 games.

In response to those people, I'll quote Stormbinder's eloquence : STFU.

Heh, Cain makes me feel like an raw, coarse oldtimer who taught the baby how to swear.

I used "STFU" suggestion only during one final converstaion on IRC the day our Fire and Ice game was amandoned. It was made to Norfleet, when he kept interupting our discussion what to do with our game, that was wreaked because of him/Pakhar. As you can imagine I was really pissed at him by that time because of his actions, so I snaped.

You on the other hand seem to be enjoying using this "STFU" again and again with obvious pleasure, while noting that it was copyrighted by me. You really are almost making me ashamed thinking that perhaps I've tought it to you or something.
