Invisible Swarm 4: started!

[Ygorl]

My stalling was because of being in Chicago, not because of growing lazy with the slack schedule. Y'all'll be happy to know that I am back!
And, with a new turn in my wake.

[CUnknown]

Jeffr, can't we see reason here? Why do you want Ermor to profit from my destruction? My lands will be devastated and won't be worth much anymore. I offer you 30 fire, air, or nature gems for a 20-turn peace treaty.

If Jeffr refuses peace, I offer all of his neighbors 30 gems each if they will attack him in earnest (not just taking 1 province, but real war).

I don't think I can survive being doubled by both killer-blessed centaurs -and- undead legions. Help!

[Jurri]

Whoa, I need to get some scouts out there ASAP! Here I was thinking everyone was living like a happy little family in a world-wide peace with rainbows and bunnies all around, but that's a far-away dream, apparently Why can't you live and love, forgive and forget, you evil people?

[jeffr]

The Master Diplomat is back in action

Ermor and I just have a NAP, not an alliance. We just happen to be headed in the same direction at the moment.

Boron is actually next to Man's capital while I was just scooping up some independents. I haven't attacked Man yet.

So why is it Chis is offering bounties on my head and not Ermor's? What have I done wrong?

[Jurri]

So you just scored 30 gems without doing anything? ...I'm awed, jeffr, awed!

[jeffr]

No no, no gems for me. I don't know what to do with them, anyway.

And how's it going in your neck of the woods, Jurri? Sitting back and raking in the cash and gems, are we

[Jurri]

Yeah, me and my trusty death-scale, we are collecting gold like no one else before us!

But, are you saying you are going to attack the Man? I mean, you not taking the free gems certainly implicates that, no?

So I'm twiddling my thumbs, jeffr and Boron are ganging on Chris, but what's everyone else doing? Like that Turin, the enemy of druids; I don't even have an inkling on where he is on the map!
