Agouti (Noob Team Game) Closed.

[Wokeye]

Truth is, Lanka won the rock-scissors-paper game for dibs on sieging the TC capital - otherwise it would have been me.

Best not to attack him, as my burny ones still need something to...well...burn. I'd better send them home before things get out of hand.

Oh that stale hurt a lot.

Tien Chi and Niefelheim would like to issue the following open letter to Lanka and Abysia, to prevent any further wrongful defamation of our nations.

We see that Abysia and Lanka are in dire straights. If we were to be gone entirely, these two nations would both be in the middle or bottom in every category, especially ones that matter in lategame, such as research, not a good situation at all. The strategies of Lanka and Abysia seem like they could allow these nations to defeat ours quite simply, and then leave them in great position to lose the game.

The (probably much too) generous nations of Tien Chi and Niefelheim would like to propose one last peace treaty, one way for us to giev Lanka and Abysia a chance at winning. Here is our proposal... You withdraw from our nations, leaving us our capitals and all provinces adjacent to our capitals. Then we will be your ally. For where two of you alone can not have a chance to win, four teams together stand a chance. Our gratitude will shower you with gold pieces and gems, and our nations will be able to protect you from other attackers.

Please let us know if you see the wisdom and generousity of our plan quickly, or, if you fail to see the truth, may you remember this stupidity and stubbornness when your empires fall and may the citizens of your lands curse your names for your short-sightedness. If you choose not to have allies, and choose not to help your allies be strong enough to help protect you, then you deserve what you get.

The team of Abysia and Lanka would like to thank Tien Chi and Niefelheim for offering their open, kind opinion on our wellbeing.

We are indeed stubborn - though we like to call it 'persistent'. Unfortunately the burning ones and demon apes have developed a love for the architecture of both your capitals and wish to spend time there burning and ...monkeying around with(?)...stuff.

Were it not for the close positioning of Neifel/Lanka/TC capitals we might not have felt the need to expose our devilish troops to the opportunity for conquest. However as they say - you must sometimes make war to have peace. Or something.

War at anytime in this game is taxing. Our combined armies are a match for any other team wanting to try to take unprovoked advantage of our warring states, so fear not for us. We anticipate our allies will stand by us, as we would stand by them.

[Wokeye]

You guys talk too much.

[reinselc]

This is pretty interesting stuff. But on to more important matters, like the national economy of Vanheim.

If anyone has any death gems, I need about 5-10. I would be happy to trade another type of gem for it. PM me if interested.

[everz]

Why my nation is always invaded by neighbors? Niefel, TC and now Caelum! Caelum/Kailasa, we have a NAP, right? Why does Caelum attack Lanka without notice?

Fortunately, TC has gone. Lanka has enough troops to beat any invader.

[reinselc]

Vanheim and Arco are appalled at the lack of compassion shown by the demons of Lanka/Abysia and have decided to intervene in the conflict.

Probably won't be enough to save Nief, but today we struck our first blow against the fire demons.

We invite all free people to join our crusade to rid the lands of the demons and return to a more civilized world.

[Wokeye]

We are startled by the sudden aggression of Vanheim despite the NAP formerly agreed to, and trade in gems.

The conflict between TC/Neif vs Lanka/Abysia was a matter of conquer or be conquered in our opinion, due to unfortunate positioning. We struck decisively when we had the advantage, and not without much internal debate. At the end of the day it is the aim of the game to knock out other teams, so that's what we aimed to do.

While my burning ones love to 'turn up the heat', their wives were looking forward to some holidays from war in the magma baths. No such luck, apparently.

To those other teams with whom we have diplomatic relations: know that Lanka and Abysia will not break these agreements in the aim of furthering 'civility'.

[reinselc]

I am not aware of any NAP that we had. The only NAP that Acro/Vanheim have is with Caelum/Kailisa and requires a formal 3 turn notification to cancel.

Arco ~ were you aware of any NAP with Abysia or Lanka?

Besides we can't all be friends forever
