And and Mictlain piling on at the end ... well ... that's pretty classless as well.

Sorry Yossar, but it is.

The only time there was a decent drop in your troops was the one attack I made against your big army (unless someone else made you have huge losses that round). And there was never a serious drop in your number of provinces (even after you went AI, you're still tied with me for first). My attack was nothing that Marignon couldn't have made with a bunch of holy pyre casters and some fodder (was Marignon allied against you?). That implied to me that this "classless alliance" against you was largely ineffective. Maybe that wasn't true, but from the graphs, that was my take on it. You had just run over Ulm like he was nothing and I felt that you were clearly my biggest threat. I'm allied with most of my neighbors, so I cut you down a bit. See it as classless if you want, but if I'm playing to win it was the right move. I'm not playing to let you win, just as you weren't playing to let Ulm win. Was your running over Ulm classless? The only one I am cutting some slack is Jotun, and that's because even though he killed my Ice Devil, he's admitted to being a harmless newbie and I believe him.

Edit: I guess my take is this. If I had premeditated from the start to ally with everyone to take out Ermor, that would be a bit classless. But I was just making a move against who I thought was my biggest threat, so I don't see it as anything out of the ordinary. I didn't go out of my way to destroy you, and doing so didn't hurt me at all. It was just a good, tactical move. I know you don't like it, but we didn't have any prior agreement, so getting angry about it is a bit extreme.
