Right. So I've finally got a handle on what's going on here...

To get this economy back on track, Oceania proudly announces the opening of Water.Mart, your underwater superstore! Save big on this season's hottest trends, like a Robe of the Sea for just 25gems! Or our Frost Brands, which were recently used to slash their own price to an astonishingly low 8gems! All gem types excepted (2slaves=1gem)!

R'lyeh, are you still trading Earth gems? We'll give Nature 1:1. Unless we're supposed to be at war with you, in which case, prepare to die you alien scum. But otherwise, let's make a deal.

Speaking of which, am I supposed to be at war with anyone? Score graphs and troop distributions are a bit inconclusive. If so, you sworn enemy/enemies should also prepare to die.

As far as the disappearance of El Ex-Presidente, my best guess is that he had a Circle Master (event? merc?) but lost him to some heavy cav. Enraged & disgusted, he closed the door on the Underwater Kitties.

Cheers,
