Default Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game

Wow, I was just making some rather light hearted assertions, but I see that you take my thesis rather seriously...but really, who are you trying to kid?

That research lead? Yeah. We had to research fricking Ench 9 to cast Thetis Blessing to stop you from winning. Yeah, we've got a lot of research, but much of it was spent accomplishing silly things.
So you have researched ench 9 AND construction 8, are you trying to strengthen my argument, or did that just slip out?

Our vaunted gem income? Mostly F. Seriously. Oh, it burns, it BURNS! (Literally!)
Haha, I guess we should all just take your word for it....

So someone had to have 3 capitals. On the plus side, I have few neighbors, am at peace with 2 of them, and thus you know exactly where the next capital I can aim for without causing a political incident is. So I am by far the safest owner of 3 capitals in the game, because my options are the most limited.

Any rational player will see your warmongering for what it is - a shameless attempt to reclaim your third capital and make another play for a 4th one.
Yes, its true I had capitals, but I never even came close to taking Shinuyama - we were fighting a brutal war though, so I'm sure he was happy for your help- and I certainly never made a "play" for it.

YOU, on the other hand, now have three capitals AND :

Artifacts

Ench 9

The highest research lead by FAR

the highest GEM income

A powerful land army and a large border with three other nations.

Any rational player can see that you just want everyone to look the other way while you build up your forces for a quick dash to Vanheim, Arco, Shinuyama or my own capital.

In fact, its quite easy to see that you are the most dangerous nation to have 3 caps and I don't need to call it shameless to make that point.
