Rex,

I have never seen a post that has made me more angry. I have controlled myself and deleted my 1st reply.

Disgusting.

I would normally go AI at this point since it is not worth the agrivation of playing a game this way. But I want to insure that I do not reward bad behaviour. I don't want to reward distortions and lies. I want to do what little I can to insure that people that make such clams gain as little as possible from them.

Rex,

seriously do you think people are stupid? You know graphs are on don't you?

and i will also join the fray but i am in bad shape and do not stand

You are 4th in provinces, only 1 behind the next two players ahead of you. You are #1 by a good amount in income. You are #3 in gems. You are #2 in research. You are #4 in army size. My god. Seriously how dare you say this kind of drivel?

When I was attacked I was attacked by the #3 in army size, plus the #4 in army size as well as the #5 in army size. I mean seriously who the heck is kidding who? I was also attacking C'tis who had an army which was middle of the pack. Sure I was #1 in army size but the combination of just Ulm and Man had almost as many troops ( and of let's be honest greater quality ). With the addition of your troops ( or hell C'tis ) it's not even close.

You don't want to call that a dog pile? I honestly don't know who you are trying to deceive. I despise that type of spin. Honestly. I *hate* it.

I really don't want to continue a discussion about the anti-ermor alliance, but I *will* refute mindless drivel like this. Lying simply will not be tolerated.

To put it more diplomatically that Huz:

Marignon is in excellent shape. I am not sure why he thinks he is doing badly.

Ermor is only seriously ahead in castles and gems... even in army size where ermor is usally dominant he is not in first, albeit probably due to the current war.

I think Man and Ulm are clearly a good match for Ermor... enough to create a somewhat of a stalemated situation for the moment. Marignon obviously will tip the scales... that much is clear to an outside observer.

Let's not let tempers run too hot. It's just a flipping game. The flaming and arguing are completely unneccessary. And it it irritates me to see it apparently building up in such a bizarre manner.

There is no need, no point, no purpose, to get emotional over a game.

Well it looks like your lies worked Rex, congratulations. More join the cause.

I love liars. They are great.

No, let's. When liars succeed at *anything* it's bad. That where the line is drawn.

I would really like to be able to know who is at war with whom, who has a treaty with whom, etc.
So for a start:
Arcoschephale:
War with Abyssia and Pythium.
NAP with Mictlan and Machaka.

Can't NAPs be secret?

Can't wars be secret too

Ermor is currently at war with:

Marignon
Man
Ulm
C'tis

and it looks like starting next turn:

Matchaka.

I know this destroys my advantage in the asymmetry of information, but at this point who cares! Ermor's time as a power who can win the game is offically over. However Ermor can and will still hurt those who attack it as much as possible.
