EA Game Strolling, part 2 - send in pretenders

[Kadelake]

48h starting this friday would suit me fine. That would save me the trouble of finding a temp over the weekend.

[Salamander8]

48 would likely work out best at this point.

We should probably turn caelum AI at the same time. He has stalled several turns.

The might nation of Abysia, which has never engaged in hostile action against other nations (Marverni having attacked us even as we negotiated in good faith) suggests to the rest of the world that if they seek to avoid a dominant, victorious Sauromatia they attack now.... if we fall, then all is over.

Sauromatia has engaged in hostile and aggressive action from the very beginning, destroying Kailasa.

Act now, or all is lost.

To Abyssia:
You should also add that you didn't even respond to attempts at negotiations by your other neighbors... And while we understand your concern that war with an equal opponent may prove your undoing unlike your war with weaker Marverni nation, our nation doesn't see it as a threat to us.
Anyway, our existing agreement with Sauromatia would forbid our intervention at your side.

[johnarryn]

To Helheim,

We are unsure as to what unawnswered attempts at negotiation you reference. We again note that the "weaker Marverni nation" provoked war with Abysia even as we attempted to negotiate with them. If you cannot see the threat of two of the mightiest nations seizing Abysia's territory, there is little we can do to convince you of the reason of attacking Sauromatia now.

On a non-diplomacy note, I will shift the turn time to 48 hours, as some have requested.
