Certainly, I admit I broke the nap - not deliberately as you know. Say what you will to sway game opinion; but I do wish for purposes of honor you would inform what happened.

One of my groups (out of six or seven) moved to your territory. 223->169 vs 223 ->173.
I was trying to join two armies and missed. On finding my mistake, I paid you double the province income, emailed you, and moved every army away from my border.

I certainly accept that you elected to go to war. However, given that I have a reputation of never breaking a nap, and made every effort to correct it I do think its a bit of a stretch to call it a vaporous promise.

My gem income was 49 previously. 500 gems on turn 28 is therefore quite possible, and in fact I have them in hand already - as other people can attest. As for making good - the only real question will be whether they'll do it in time to get the reward. As for conquering my lands shouldn't the question be would they rather these lands were in Tien Chi's hands or the Giant Formorians? Its rather moot, as I doubt anyone will be able to beat *you* to them and even if so, can they beat your armies?

Your castles I know about are 169, 207(capital), and 175... Let the race begin!

In the event of my death, with no one capturing one of your castles, I will forward my gems to Jarko if he hasn't screwed me, or to Ctis/Mictlan (same conditions).
