I am giving notice of the retration of the Nap3 between Arco and Pangea on turn 20 with ths turn counting as turn 1 as you have received this before the hosting and can take whatever actions you deem necessary.

As an Honorable Nation I am returning this turn the 20 Nature Gems that was sent last turn with my regrets.

This is nothing personal and only due to expansion needs.

Hostilities, if any will commence on turn 22.

TC and Arco announce a Nap3 on turn 20

We reached turn 20 ... so i extended the hosting intervall to 48h. It is rumored that Ghostrider won't keep that peaceful.

I must Apologize to Pangea, TC, and the rest of the Nations of Ghostriders.

I was out of town playing ball at the start of the game and directed my wife to make certain moves (as she has done this before).

Pangea had shown up at my Northern Border on turn 3 or 4 with a LARGE Army and if I remember right his pretender.

I directed my Wife to ask for a 3 or 5 turn Nap and she informed me that he had agreed to a nap.....

I then ran out of expansion room and noticed TC had taken a good bite out of Pangea so I made a nap with the Honorable TC and broke my nap with Pangea as I felt forced into to begin with.

I checked my notebook to make sure it wasn't a 5 turn Nap instead of a 3.....

SIGH....MY wife MADE A 50 TURN NAP

, Thats right...a 50 turn nap with Pangea (nice job Pangea, you must have clairvoyance)

As most of you know I will NOT go agianst an agreement I entered into.

With the way the game has taken a right turn and the promises I have made, I have no alternative but to bow out of the game with my MOST sincere apologies.

I will NOT go AI as that would be the same as breaking a Nap.

I invite Pangea and all those that border me to take what they can starting next turn.

I only ask that you do it quickly. I will be pulling all my troops into 1 province and when it comes down to that province ..THEN I will go AI so come prepared.

To those that do not border me...I will send gems and money in rotation to try and make up for this IDIOT move.

LOL, my wife is now banned from D3

I'm sorry guys!!!

Well in which case...
Helheim has a few new provinces to attend to.

Also: geez, 50?

GrudgeBringer · #66 May 7th, 2009, 09:29 PM

Yep...50, wanna bet it don't happen agian!!!

just out of curiosity, your bowing out because you can't attack Pangea? i mean, i'm not trying to question you, but it sounds like sommething else went wrong right? i mean, i'm sure Pangea will understand, and if not, you always have other neighbors right?

I am one of those guys that hold every agreement sacred.

I have cultivated that reputation from my first game, and because of that I have people that trust me when I offer a nap that thier borders are secure under all circumstances.

While I can and will give a notice and go to war, it is thought out and usually is in conjuntion with someone else.

That was the case here, while I was pondering options TC attacked Pangea and since I kind of felt (I wasn't there) that I was forced into asking for a nap, I decided that the option of throwing in with TC was my only option.

When I found out that I had a 50 turn nap (and the more I think of it....it might have been a typo for 5 turn nap, she agreed to it anyway which effectively takes out 1 of my options for the entire game.

If I was Pangea and was being attacked I certainly would expect Arco to hold to the nap...mistake or not.

Call it a quirk, but I would have felt shackeled for the rest of the game.

I have tried to make sure Everyone gets a little compensation and I am sorry if I disrupted the game.

My suggestion id to jump in if you can and grab a piece of territory.

Thanks for commenting though and giving me a chane to explain myself....

To be honest ...a 50 turn Nap is ridiculous. Everybody playing this game should get it straight that it had to be a typing error. I hope Denisius understand this situatian and agree to treat your nap as a 5 turn one. Until this situation is cleared i will postpone the hosting. It would be misery if Grudgebringer is bowing out because of that and would totally screw the game (i would even benefit because i have borders to acro but i don't want to).
So i hope we could solve this problem not with Acro leaving the game.

Greetings

Yeah arco bowing out messes up the game far more than will relating the misunderstanding to Pangaea. Mistakes happen, and the first solution is not exiting the game in a disruptive fashion. Your reputation won't be sullied by this one event. We all understand and I'm sure the Pangaea player will as well.
