When I get home tonight I'll go through my old turn files and confirm how long it took for me to get restless about the kraken province. It is possible that I am mis-remembering how long it had remained neutral because there have been a few lengthy delays between turns.

That said, I didn't hustle into the province knowing you were trying to reclaim it. I was completely unaware of your mind hunt attempts, or any other attempts of yours to retake the province. My teleport was completely independent of your mind hunt and the fact that they collided was utterly accidental.

Me taking a now-neutral province that used to be yours might be considered rude, depending on factors such as how long it had remained neutral. As such, I confess I might, MIGHT, have done something rude (I will confirm the timing later tonight). However, the letter of our NAP is that neither party would invade nor cast spells (anonymous or otherwise) at provinces owned by the other party. You didn't own that province when I cast a remote spell (teleport) nor when I invaded it. Our pact remains unbroken.

Whether or not you feel like one water province of dubious claim is worth ending our NAP over is up to you. Personally I'm not scared and I assume you have bigger fish to fry than little ol' T'ien Ch'i. But if you want to give us nothing better to do than screw with you than so be it. We aren't going to win this game anyway so bring it on, Druid Boy... a war with us would cost WAAAAY more than we're worth, especially to someone who is already big and powerful.

Concerning your other water province, don't worry we won't interfere with your reclaiming it.
