I admit I've been the one sleeping in the Great Diplomacy Game, as the ones I've counted among friends have been already killed by my current neighbours. But that's only fitting for a twilight race, the last ones to shut down the lights.

But I'm hard pressed to believe that the delay MA Man was advocating was for any other reason than his losses in his war against EA C'tis. Perhaps you were afraid your "friends" would take a too large a slice off the pie if you hadn't had the time to mass forces at my border? After all, should they have gained too much ground it would've made it harder for you to crush them in turn.

And Xietor, regarding EA C'tis you're too late. Your lizard brethen have been crushed already by Man.
