New type of diplo game

[Byzantium (DoD)]

I just realised that strictly speaking Gondor d/moved but I assure you it makes no difference (assuming Rome went first when Gondor was also meant to go - it was planned with Rome but I was unable to log in before Egypt last turn).

Also, I trust Egypt appreciates that we now synchronise the turn order...

i.e. FIRST: the rest of the world
SECOND: Egypt

Nobody stepped forward to sub for Celts or China. I'm going to make them AI.
That's a lot more better then nothing.

[Egypt (DoD)]

Don't worry, no double move would save your sorry asses :P. I'm tempted though to accept that cease fire, just for the fun. Rome said He'd use anything within the written and unwritten rules, even denying we ever made a deal while ooc promised He would give me the rest of the catapults just they are out of move, but I don't think I need these kind of subtle moves.

Also, now I'm avaible to sub for china, I know for sure He wanted to join my side in the war :P

Dear honorable(?) representative of Gondor

This war is between rome and me. I suggest you go home and wait your turn.

The Desertlord.

[Rome (DoD)]

Egypt, I'm not a fool, I was clearly on the fence, delaying my response as long as possible.
I made it clear immediately that I gave the 3 catapults and would concider to give the 7 others as a final signing of the deal. I could only move 5, that was honest. and if I would have given you those 5, then the other 2 woudl have followed. (as an ooc promise).

But I never signed any deal ooc or ic. I just made clear that if I would sign a deal, I would keep it.

The 3 catapults were given to buy time, and I even told you so.
When I did I was surprised that you didn't push me to make the deal immediately since it was clear that you were pressing me to deny me time to get a plan.
Maybe you missed it, but it was really there. (the text that I told you that I had not made up my mind yet)

[Egypt (DoD)]

My terms were always clear, I never changed them and there was no place for negotiation. I did not attack because you accepted my terms. Now if you interpret your words differently, that it was just time stalling..well sure.. (that ooc promise thing actually I take back, because you did before the reload and your holy city still messed up.. so I can accept that never happened)
In any case I hope it's clear that it is just my IC which is mad not my ooc part In my eyes you cheated on me, but on the other hand I never expected you to accept my terms.. I was not sure what to do when it seemed you would..

[Rome (DoD)]

They were clear and still I found place to negotiate and delay stuff a bit.
Thanks for pullying the 'ooc deal' thing. That's more important to me.
Yes I know the rest is ic, so is it for me.
Don't expect the IC Rome to act like a gentleman when your superior army arrives at my border

[Sumeria (DoD)]

It is good to hear the fine news that Babylon/Hindustan, same leopard same spots, has shown itself to be the mother of all virtue by exterminating the Celts as if they were no more than mere vermin infesting a family home.

You need no 'Spin Doctor' to reveal a Hypocrite!

[Babylon (DoD)]

No you just need a mirror.

[Robert]

Both DoD and DoE are now running on the same machine.
Please let me know ASAP if things go wrong! (ie. you can't login to any of these 2 games, or games get mixed up on PYT.)

Please PM me in such a case! Then I'll get the message within 15 minutes wherever I am.

[Egypt (DoD)]

Something is wrong with PYT, not updating properly

Dear honorable(?) representative of Gondor

Desertlord, Gondor is honourable to its friends and allies. We counted Egypt as a friend until megalomania and world domination threats were uttered by you. I, Strider, feel sorry for the pain of your people and the sufferings of the Romans who we will support until Egyptians are banished from their soil.


ooc I think you play with good spirit and humour and nice role

[Byzantium (DoD)]

No you just need a mirror.

But it would break...

[Sumeria (DoD)]

Sadly Sumeria has had to once again send her young men to war.

The mighty Chinese threat can no longer be overlooked. America, do not worry, Sumerian troops have already taken our sacred island of Macau and troops will arrive upon the mainland shortly.

See Babylonians, some nations know what an honourable war is.

[Egypt (DoD)]

Oh.. Rome and Byzantium.. you are both fools..
Rome, you could had saved yourselves from the war by just giving me 7 more obsolete catapults.. now how much you will "pay" for this unwanted war?
And Byzantium.. with your huge and modern army you could had taken half of Rome's land.. instead you came and test yourself against my veteran soldiers..you too will pay a lot.. and gain? nothing..
I don't even know why Russia declared war on me too.. I never ever ever said that I'd attack them if I could.. (not publicly at least.. maybe my secretary mixed up some letters..)

I don't understand your big friendship anyway.. it is written that in the end there could be only one.. your friends will become your murderers unless you take the courage and attack first.

[America (DoD)]

The mighty Chinese threat can no longer be overlooked. America, do not worry, Sumerian troops have already taken our sacred island of Macau and troops will arrive upon the mainland shortly.

Mighty Chinese threat is an exaggeration. It is true I had to use a few weak units to liberate cities that had adopted American language and culture and help the Chinese understand that settling in my regions was wrong. But they are a very weak nation culturally and militarily and could not be considered mighty. It appears that you are just undertaking an unjustified grab for land, whereas I am liberating land that culturally is mine and helping the local citizenry gain prosperity.
