look, you're doing the classic meta-game suicide attack, as you said to me. I know what it is, how it is supposed to work.
I'm unmoved by it.

Your account of the provinces involved is incorrect.

The proper manner, in this game, to resolve such disagreements is through war. This is explicitly in the OP, and the special rules, such as the ban on trading, work to support this. I did not attack until Pyth was gone, as per my commitment, as I understood it.

You accused me of instigating the whole thing; I denied that and said, rather, you.

Also, "rewarded" - that's surely the attitude which made you so cavalier with the agreed disposition, which included Holburg. More like this war is the reward.

Anyways I do apologize for that last line in my previous post. It's more an internet meme than anything personal, but the tone is regrettable.
