well, if a nap is only a convenience, the terms of which may be ignored unilaterally according to whatever excuse one might come up with. Well then..... Good to know that's how you view your naps RZ.

After a while of meditation and an explanation from IndyPendant, I'm ready once again to get this game on. I've resubmitted my turn and there will be no AI controlling Mictlan so long as I can help it.

In the words of Monty Python, "I'm not dead yet."

I would just like everyone to know that I think I have solved the Reanimation bug. So I will not be going AI. --Not that I was going to anyways, when RZ still needs to be destroyed.

I am coming for you, RZ. And I am wroth.

Default Re: War!

Reverend Zombie has asked that our discussion be posted publicly, so I am doing so now, reformatted for easier reading but otherwise completely unchanged. They can be read in the order they are quoted below.

RZ probably thinks the venom in my final message to him will throw some players off. Or perhaps my stance of going after him in other games if he joins one I'm playing in will do so. He may even be correct. I kept things private because I've learned that my unrepentantly vicious, uncompromising attitude towards treaty violators can keep other players, who have done nothing wrong, from enjoyment of the game. I warn you, the language from me quoted below is harsh. Do not read it if it will ruin the game for you. If you're interested in more details as to why I play this way, read here and here.

And finally, I will try to make this my only post on this subject. I will try to avoid a flamewar as much as possible.

IndyPendant:
Quote:
Very well false pretender, war it shall be.

Your message was received by us on Turn 18, but you have not indicated when you intend to attack. We advise you to honour our NAP and wait until Turn 20 to give your misguided minions their orders, so they attack on Turn 21.

If you intend violating our NAP and attacking earlier, a brief perusal of our messages on these forums shall inform you that such an action would have...far-reaching consequences. I do not expect this warning to be necessary, however. If you wished to commit such a vile act, you most likely would not have warned me at all.

We are not greedy, and did not seek this war. But we will finish it. Should you ever wish to seek peace however, contact us--through these messengers here--and we shall consider it based on the harm you will be able to commit to us should we continue fighting. Do not wait too long.

This message was also sent through the limited God-to-Pretender method you seem to prefer.

--Vitae the Glorious, Lord of the Dead.

I have half a mind to attack you now for threatening repercussions outside the game.

Guess you'll have to wait and see what happens.
Reverend Zombie:
Quote:
I misconstrued the nature of your threat--forgive me for accusing you of threatening a meta-game grudge.

However, I am quite annoyed to have to do research on the forums to figure out your threat, so I am attacking early anyway.
IndyPendant:
Quote:
Don't apologize, you worthless, honourless pondscum. You had it right the first time. It was not Arco that violated our NAP, it was Reverend Zombie. It will be IndyPendant who takes revenge as available.

I will now bend every effort, in this game and any other I meet you in, to make sure you lose. Even if I cannot then win the game, if I bring you down with me then I will savour my victory. I strongly suggest you avoid any games I play in the future. Unlike you, I do not make empty promises. If you don't like that, let me quote you: .

The particular irony here is that by attacking me one turn too early, you have only sealed your demise, since due to the bug I am suffering from I would have gone AI if you had honoured our NAP and delayed your attack by just. one. more. turn. I do wonder how it feels to reveal yourself unworthy to be the snot blown into a kleenex for so little gain--and harming yourself in the process! Not that a filthy self-serving twit like yourself would admit to any such thing.

This will be my last private communication with you. You are not worth the time or effort.

--IndyPendant.

LOL - that's an amusing exchange. Sounds like it will be a fun war!!

I'm not convinced about your methods, Indy, as it is a wargame and all - but I share your views encouraging 'honourable' play.

Heh. Okay, one more post. ; )

I just wanted to clarify: I'm not awash and drowning in venom or anything like that. Viperish declarations of everlasting disgust aside, I am still having fun. "Fun" for me has just shifted definitions, that's all!
