Let me address this issue plainly and speak openly,
When you engage in a three on one,
- you are robbing yourselves of much of the fun of the game. This is suppose to be a game of skill (amongst other things) and there is little skill involved in attacking a nation's rear while it is engaged elsewhere. You are likely to face mostly province defense and not the mind of the player controlling the target nation. If you want to fight PD then you should play a single-player offline game.
You rob yourself of much of the enjoyment.
.
- secondly, the player playing the targeted empire faces an impossible struggle. At this stage in the game i (the target empire) am still viable though obviously not in any position to compete for leadership since i am already engaged in a two-on-one). I cannot hope to successfully fight a three on one. No matter how well I play I cannot hope to be victorious. It simply isn’t fun for me to play in a game where my skill and decisions will have no outcome on the result.
You rob the target of much of the enjoyment of the game.
I hope I don’t sound whiney- I don’t mean to. I just mean to outline my thoughts on this sort of play-style.
And for those of you who say its what I had it coming to me for not performing diplomacy better, you are right also and I won’t argue against that but at the same time, consider that Pythium is breaking a NAP to engage in this pile-up.
For Pythium and Midgard’s neighbors, consider that they are engaged in war with Mictlan currently and will make very quick gains because I cannot defend against them while also maintaining pressure on Patala. They will be strengthened disproportionally and will gain a dominant position in this game very quickly if you do not act to strike at their borders now. Join with Mictlan in turning these nations and showing them that they are not the only ones who can force an opponent to fight a multi-front war.

Participating in this war, I admit, is not what I would prefer to do but I don't want Midgard taking all you're territories and then becoming too powerful to stop, I felt it was in my best interests to give you notice of the dissolution of the NAP and then snag some territory with you distracted. Absolutely no honor in that decision, I know and I'm sorry, but this is a good way to expand.
By the way, I would have attacked Midgard but I don't border him and I didn't want to incite a war with Bogarus or Ulm
