"I still outproduce you, I will still destroy you." "..You are a liar and cheat. Take you down I will, the cost does not matter to me. *shrug* "

My personal response:

"Hehee

Already losing your nerve?"

"To Whollaborg: Scorched earth, you scumbag." "...with a filthy, scheming thug like you." "..."do not trust Whollaborg, ever." "And may the best man win! (A safe toast, since that excludes Whollaborg.)"

"Still, I believe I have cause, and all of my vitriol has been in reaction to Whollaborg's actions towards me, so there is a difference I suppose."

Well, reading that again agitates again. I still have to think you are a worm, lying that you didn't start the filth.

Chill guys. I know it's really frustrating for both of you, but you have to remember that things almost always look completely different from the other perspective. Also, if another player beats you by trickery - well, a real pretender god might do that. The convention on these forums is for great honesty, but there is no rule on that. (Actually it might be wise to start stating such conventions at the start of games so that there are fewer misunderstandings.) If you do use trickery though, you have to remember that people will get upset, and may do weasely things themselves.

Similarly pillaging your own lands can be seen as unsportsmanlike. I probably agree, but there's nothing as vicious as a god scorned after all. Although I wouldn't encourage it it's not completely unreasonable.

Assuming all of both your claims are correct, it just looks as though you're both playing weasel gods. Fair enough.

I would say that to my mind this would all be less bad if you tried to keep in character. Insulting the enemy god is fine after all (you'd expect it in fact). Being insulted directly is very hurtful, and it is extremely difficult to remain calm when insulted. Being as people virtually never agree on the truth of the matter in matters such as these, people will always honestly feel that the other one is the liar.

Report from Toemuck Fen, by Aanhhh, mysteriously-named chief swamp-scrubber of Mictlan:

"Oh great one who is not yet among us, this month we were set upon by harpies and satyrs, as we ventured out to prepare the way for the arrival of the infamous menhorses! I regret to report we lost Harold, Fred, and Bill too! At this rate, in just under 13 years, we will have no more units left for either pre-sweeping duty or mushroom hunting! I request immediate reinforcements."

Now things are getting interesting.

I just found myself travelling abroad with a broken laptop (hence the stall, actually sending this message from an internet cafe in spain). I won�t be able to get another turn in until wednesday (eastern US). I�d greatly appreciate if we could postphone hosting until then.

I apologize to everybody for the stall and this late notice.

I am also out of town without access to dominions, so this works out great. I felt that it would be abusing my position to postpone the host for my own stale, so I didn't mention it.

EDIT- Postponed by 72 hours. Hosting will be wed. ~23:45

FAJ, it's not abusing your position, you just need to post a message to the thread to yourself, requesting an delay in hosting. Or you can just send yourself an email.
