DU - NE

As you can see, the AN burned my starting town to the ground in your region. He now is poised to do the same at FL, which I earlier purchased from you at some great cost. Might you by any chance have a Ward PC spell available? Or instruct the AN to stop mucking around in your region?

If he burns it to the ground I will still maintain my standing order sending you gold every turn. As that is what I promised.

Humble Druid,
It seems that I can be of help - I actually DO have a 'Ward PC' spell available in the Mists. I had other plans for the wizard, but if you are in a position to send me a decent amount of gold, I will cast it for you. I don't mean to shake you down, but as it will take two orders (spell and trade), and I am currently fending off the totally unprovoked attack by the naughty re-animator, Uranus does will require something to fill the void.

I can alter my orders and find a moderate amount of gold?  How much are you requesting?  I do understand opportunity costs?

DA - AN  

Good idea; there is nothing preventing him from moving my way.  I have NAPs with the Warlock and Illusionist; the SA and NE are apparently going at it, so that leaves the DU on a short list.

DU  --  DA

I am always confused about why we let the players that most often finish on the podium convince us to do stuff that helps them?

The IL and AN are both attacking me.  Apparently, I can negotiate peace with the IL but not the AN.

I have specifically done nothing to harm your kingdom.  Accordingly, I offer you peace until the end of the contest.  What say you?  Why be the third kingdom to oppose me?  (I realize that I attacked the IL, but not the AN.  I have also specifically left all of his popcenters alone.  Give me the opportunity to fight just two kingdoms at once?)

The humble druids

So you are telling him he should not check his reaction levels to make sure someone hasn’t been raising them.   That is all I asked him to do.   Seems like good advise from an experience player to me.

[Draugr]

I think if you look at our actions you will find our attacks have been of a defensive nature.  Where the DU preaches peace, yet burns and pillages entire cities to the ground.   He attacks under the guise of helping your old ally yet did nothing to actually help where needed and now fight to control those very lands.

DU  --  AN

Are you even capable of using the truth in your negotiations?  I never once said I attacked the IL to assist the DE.  I said I attacked the IL for three reasons: 1) because AN and SO made peace when I had planned to attack the AN; 2) because the IL attacked the DE, who is a new player in our community (not, specifically, to assist the DE as you claim); and 3) because the IL made defensive pacts with two kingdoms, thus not caring if he ended up fighting another kiingdom 3 v 1.

Of course, the previous IL player begged his allies to attack me in region 1 after I attacked him, all the while moving resources against the WA instead of directly against me.  Did he expect his allies to defend him while he skated to victory by attacking a third region?  Clearly I am not devious enough to end up on the podium in full diplomacy games.

Instead of making shit up, simply cut and paste the things I write if you wish to attribute intentions to me.

Honestly, it would take 20k for me to break even on the deal. I'd do it for that.

AN - SA
Were we not one of the first to agree to a NAP when you were asking.  And now you are highering out wizards to directly oppose our intentions.  Seems you are talk from your mouth while Uranus says something else.   Have we not been giving you more food than was negotiated this entire game as well.  
All said please feel free to take the Druids gold it will make no impact on us.

Ah, good point, actually. I can't always keep up in this game. DU, I feel my prior obligation to the AN prohibits me from completing these deal. Sorry, I lost track of things.

“Since the DE is one of our newer players and the IL is one of our most experienced players I thought to assist the DE by hitting the IL”

Your exact words.  Not mine.

You can see my "assistance" was specified as "hitting the IL."  Yet, you state I "did nothing to actually help where needed."  Did I "hit[] the IL" as I stated I would?

Why aren't you satisfied with 2 v 1?  How much help do you need?

I’m sorry I just got caught up!!! You guys are killing me, I’m on for hours and nothing, I give the forum a rest for a few hours and I have 5 pages to read up. Lol

1st NE-SA u need to keep your wizard spells, the gold isn’t going to save you, I love you as a person, but I hate youranis right now!!!

2nd NE-DU yes I have a spell available, but he has several in range to dispel anything I do. I know the AN is on you, but you contacted my sworn enemy and offer to pay his coffers against me? You didn’t give me a chance to answer the forum. And so the world knows the mist situation, I have 3 armies I’m dealing with SA and AN, and I haven’t ask for help. Ill handle it my self. And I’ll take R5 to boot.


3rd NE-DU stop the standing order you have to me for the ships, It’s not needed anymore and you need it.

Did I ask even a single person to help me?   No, so drop it already.   I told you why I am attacking you.  You can add because of your winning personality to my list.  

All this and each of your opponents you have wanted to fight have been already fighting someone else.  You stopped your plan to attack me because peace was negotiated and you had time to pull the plug.  Then you found the IL was attacking someone by himself so you decided to jump in and counter attack.  And make it more than a 1 vs 1 fight.  Then turn around and call him out for not fighting you 1 on 1.  When Relgar took over he offered to stop all fighting.  I would have still been attacking you either way.
