Furious Noobs -EA- (Newbie Game, 10/10, Running) - Page 9

Seems I need to clarify what happened between Mictlan and Kailasa (me), so that you don't think I am just a dishonorable backstabber (though I did kind of backstab Mictlan, but he totally deserved it).

All this started around turn 8, when I get a message from Mictlan, that they will attack my province Fogyc, which I had taken a turn before. He hoped that I don't mind and maybe we can still be friends and all that kind of lies.

I proceeded to inform him that I will consider the action an act of war and he should reconsider. Well he was not going to back up, so I had retreat. I had no chance to fight those double blessed warriors. I obviously agreed on an non-aggression pact to ease his mind.

Let's go forward 10 turns. I have no chance to go anywhere, being sandboxed between C'tis and Mictlan. Mictlan and C'tis are at war. For a reason or another I decided to give Mictlan a second chance and informed that I will now take my province back. He refused. The province was actually controlled by C'tis at this point.

I did some diplomacy with him to make him believe he can bully me twice and promptly took the province by force. I then marched to his capital just to prove my point. I was pretty happy to get my revenge.

Now I will let you be my judge. Was I lying bastard or did I just do some clever machivellian diplomacy to take my revenge. Feel free to choose both options

Trumelunki of Kailasa

Let it be known to all mortal world that the enlightened Naakka of Kailasa and mighty Caesar Aeternus of Ermor have signed a non-aggression pact (12 turns warning).

Let our holy lips never touch chocholate if we break our word.
Naakka of Kailasa

There shall be no betrayal. Kailasa can be sure of that. Our oath is sacred to us. When we declared an NAP with Argatha, we kept our word. When we declared an NAP with Tir na n'Og and Tien Chi, we kept our word, and shall continue to do so. When we declared an NAP with Mictlan, we kept our word even in their most vulnerable hour, and when we declared an end to that NAP, we did so openly and in accordance with the conditions of our pact.

And should we ever declare an end to our NAP with Kailasa, we will stand by the same principles once again.

Ermor believes in honor. We believe in remaining true to our word. We believe in being fair and just to those who are fair and just to us. We believe in carrying grudges against those who betray us, even if it's to our disadvantage, just for the satsifaction of having hurt the betrayer. And we believe in the value of having the world know that this is so. Rest assured, the NAP-3 between Ermor and Tien Chi is as sacred to us as this new pact between Ermor and Kailasa.

But never mistake our honor for naivety. There is pragmatism in honor. By proving that we are dependable, we invite others to do the same. The fact that we shall not commit betrayal ourselves does not mean we will not prepare for betrayal from others, it just means that we give them an opportunity to show us honor in return and benefit from the security of having a neighbor that actually abides by their pact.

it wasnt a comment on your honor, it was a comment on just how long 12 turns is. Thats half the game weve played so far and a very very long time to wait for a NAP to end.

Certainly, this pact will ensure peace for both our nations for quite some time. That's its purpose.

I'm sorry I don't have access to my game and I have limited access to the internet at this time. I do apologies for this inconvience. I'm at my Brothers house for Spring Break. I'll go ahead and pause the game for now.

Sorry again.

Let it be known to all the people of the world that there is now an NAP-6 between the nations of Oceania and Ermor. Let peace reign.
