And here I thought you guys were going to be allies till the end. Though I had noticed you guys "trading" provinces a long while back. Figured then things between you guys were rocky. Thanks for the info.

[HoleyDooley]

Its been interesting. Going way back I had no set plan to attack anyone, including the "screaming Yomi"...just waiting to see what happened.

Then Yellow (Mictlan) invaded a province belonging to Utgard so I attacked Yellow as Utgard was already involved in fighting Yomi. However it seems Yellow and utgard were partners just trading provinces.

So after 2 or 3 battle losses against Yellows blessed troops i came to the next party with a ton on mages and beat Yellow back. Then Utgard gave notice on our NAP and we have been fighting it out for some time.

I did assault his castle some time back, but he beat me. Thus I have left it, though he is far weaker now than that first attempt.

Caelum, you're an honorless flying monkey. Our NAP was supposed to end on turn 70, not 71.

We knew your people were a cowardly, diabolical lot, but apparently they can't count either.

Know this: I Am the Walrus foresaw your evil treachery over fifty turns ago, so you're "surprise" attack was no surprise at all but rather an elaborate intelligence gathering mission orchestrated by us, but in reverse. We know. The minds of mere bird-brains can't comprehend the vast and unstoppable forces they have unwittingly unleashed against themselves -- although we can sense your fear.

Make that turn 71 not turn 70.

Anyway, prepare to face my wrath!

My appologies...I fully believed that orders could be given on turn 69 and hostilities on turn 70...as per my post above stating that war was beginning next turn.

No need to apologize. I just felt like ranting and though it would be fun RP As far as I'm concerned anyone who breaks a NAP, i.e., me, are entitled to getting their teeth kicked in before the deadline -- especially in the late game.

This is your PM message to me, stating that war begins on turn 70.

It was sent during turn 67, thus 67, 68 and 69 is 3 turns notice and fighting to begin on turn 70.

Our good friends in T'ien Chi have informed us of your merciless aerial invasion against their peace-loving citizens and plan to put them under the yoke of your fascist regime. We know that if we sit idly by that we'll be next on your ruthless plans of subjugation, so it's with a heavy heart that we give you notice of the termination of our non-aggression pact. In three turns (turn 70) our peace-keeping forces will be free to engage your marauders.

If it's turn 67, then you I would think we would send attacks on 70 to hit on 71

This is how I think it would look:

NAP-0 (no agreement) attacks are sent immediately on turn 67 to hit on 68
NAP-1 (1-turn notice) attacks are sent on turn 68 to hit on 69
NAP-2 (2-turn notice) attacks are sent on turn 69 to hit on 70
NAP-3 (3-turn notice) attacks are sent on turn 70 to hit on 71

As I mentioned before, I'm totally cool with this since I think it was stated in the beginning that NAPs are not binding, and I think it's reasonable to hit the NAP breaker (everyone has different views on NAPs but I think breaking a NAP is an inherently hostile action). Also, my message wasn't real specific so I can see how you would think we would go on turn 70.

Anyway, you didn't do very much damage to me this turn -- and now I know what kind of forces I'll be fighting against. Muahahahah.

[revenant2]

I don't need a 24-hour extension anymore.

[HoleyDooley]

Hi Rev, yeah mate, I knew you weren't having a go at me, but more roleplaying.

It was an unfortunate misunderstanding as I do like to keep my agreements.

War has BEGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
