Meanwhile, if anyone has made any agreements proposed by Pangaea, they are worthless! He won't hesistate to "interpret" the wording of his own proposals to suit his treacherous intentions!

Pangeas proposal during turn3, which was accepted during the same turn: "I wonder if you are interested in a 5-turn non-aggression pact after the ceasefire with pangea? If so I'll stay on my side of the water, so province 83 is yours."

Pangea interpreted it thus: all parts of the agreement end after 5 turns, and the border drawn up is only to clarify which indeps goes to whom.

Utgard interpreted it as: pangea promise never to attack province 83, even if we are at war later on with utgard attacking from province 83.

Pangea finds utgard's interpretation ridicolous, but notices that the message might have been slightly unclear.

It's not an interpretation! It's simply just what you said.

If I agree to your desired NAP, then you agree to stay on your side and leave #83 for me.

The proposal might have been ridiculous, from your point of view, but you were its author! I had to laugh and immediately agree!

Of course I could surmise your evil intentions, but even if your promise was counter to them, shouldn't you be bound by what you put in writing and agreed to?
