Hey, MA Ermor, Lanka? Which one of you wants free provinces?

Come right in and take some from LA Ulm! I know we have NAPs, but don't let them stop you! I'm going to go AI soon enough anyway.

Your wish is our order.

meh, i gave you warning - which i did not have to do - and you indicated you thought it would be a fair fight - and i'm subbing as well. no need to be pissy about it, it's just a war

Oh trading partner who I gave the 10 fire gems to 3 months ago, could you please send me the earth boots?
Yours truly,
Zhao the Forgetful

I indicated I thought we're both going to die (as opposed to winning the entire game) and I still think so. That has nothing to do with the fight being "fair" or not. I also indicated that you are being stupid for making it easier for others by weakening yourself. And I knew you are subbing, too bad that has nothing to do with anything. There's a difference between good and bad situations you can sub in - I just happen to always land on the bad ones. This, however, was the WORST of the crop by far. At least earlier I have had some chance to fix what had gone wrong, but this time... There's absolutely nothing I could've done. I tried to get researching outside my dominion, but other people's dominions didn't spread inside my borders fast enough to do that.

As for me getting "pissy" over you attacking me... You can think that if that makes you feel better. I just want to get out of this game, and I sure as hell don't want to help you in the process. I'm proving the point of my message to you here. If you want war, that's what you're going to have - just don't expect me to go quietly and/or without strengthening your to-be-neighbors (and weakening you) in the process.

As you yourself so aptly put it, it's just a war.

(And if I'm pissy over something, it's this bullsh*t nation I've been stuck with. Rarely have I seen so many things going wrong in one nation, and all due to the original player's choices which were based on MA Ulm, which LA Ulm *gasp* ISN'T.)

[archaeolept]

yes, do as you wish - its just a war w/ subbed nations :-)

but asking people to invade you... after one small battle, which you could easily have avoided, and the vast majority of your forces intact having lost 1 territory,... you know, that's the pissy part

[Hadrian_II]

i like being invited into other countrys, so LA Ulm has become very symphatethic lately.

Avoided, how? That's kinda funny. You are saying there's something I could've done to stop you from attacking?

That's just stupid.

and the vast majority of your forces intact having lost 1 territory,...

Yeah? Guess what? I know I can't win (a war nor the game), and the war you chose to start was just the last nail in the coffin. Could as well make sure BEFORE I have lost all my lands that you don't get them all.

Why *wait* for death when I can have it in a few turns?

[archaeolept]

oh, whatever sensori. its just a game. I gave you a one turn warning; you surely could have retreated your pretender from right in front of my army. you didn't. I know how it feels, but I had to do something to try and improve my position.

[Sensori]

What? I don't care about that stupid gimpass idiot Pretender which is a big part of why this setup sucked (and I'm pretty sure it's a big reason why the original player quit). You did me a favor by killing him. I *want* to have Ulm die, the sooner the better. How hard is that to understand? Giving this nation to someone wouldn't have been fair - only putting it to AI would've been. That's how much it sucks.
