Seems that Qantaga and HObbes are at vendetta with me.

... Well, that is certainly news to me. The last time I checked we were in Treaty. I have not made any moves whatsoever towards any of your units or territory.

I will check when my turn rolls around, but I have not received any vendetta messages. Your IoD cruising off my coastline didn't stir up any trouble, did it? That is the only possible way I can think of that we could have had a tussle. Unless, of course you initiated the vendetta.

Well, well, well. Someone's been naughty then haven't they? Vendetta's don't occur without a reason.

Turned to Qantaga.

Well, there's the reason for the vendetta. "Foreman NorthSwordsman has launched a surprise attack".

I am not sure of your intentions, but it was in destroying a probe ship, so perhaps you are patrolling shadowlords3's borders again. This is no big deal to me since I did previously say that you were welcome to wax those probe ships if you chose. I am not sure why you are so nervous about single probe ships. I find it hard to imagine that shadowlords3 does not have some probe defenses in place, but perhaps that is the reason.

I am happy to accept a truce or treaty again if you wish. Of course, if you wanted vendetta (and since that IoD loaded with X Chaos Rovers is still off my shores), then I understand that too.

As I explained to Qantaga in a private note, the toasting of the probe team was entirely an accident. I did not check the nationality of the probe team before I toasted it- My wife distracted me at exactly the wrong time, and I was in a hurry. I just hit "eliminate them" without reading the screen.. sigh... next time that won't happen. The jet that toasted the probe team was on the way to the Usurper seabase right south of Shadowlord's homeland, to toast THAT thing. Marr has been hitting SL with jets from that base, I aim to eliminate it completely.

As for the IOD with the X Rovers, they are not intended for Qantaga. I do not have a beef with you at all! If I did, I am not the kind of person to launch surprise attacks. Just ask any of my gaming partners. I ALWAYS declare war first. Naive, perhaps, but that is my style. I ain't no terrorist or "pearl harbor" type of soldier. I fight fair. I am trying to find some weak spots in the alien's defense net and utilize those weak spots. The Caretakers and the Usurpers are getting a little out of hand. I want to take them from their weak spots, and using X rovers is about the only way you will win against the caretakers. I'm trying to stay out of range of their jets and stay in the fungus as much as possible. No harm intended.

Turn to SL3.

Treaty offer extended to Qantaga, truce to H0bbes.

[NorthSwordsman]

Oh Yeah, forgot to tell you guys that I've called a council for Global Trade pact. I voted yes.

Also got a global warning notice, rise of 66 meters in sea level.

[shadowlord3]

to H0bbes.
I voted yes. The colors changing from turn to turn is annoying at times.

[H0bbes]

I voted NO.

Turned.

[Qantaga]

Gentlemen,

Sorry for the delay. I got called away on a last-minute business trip. I planned on sending the turn out this morning, but my customer's network will not allow "guests" to send out file attachments. I will get the turn out when I get home late tonight.

[Qantaga]

2228 sent to NorthSwordsman (finally). Sorry again for the delay.

I also voted No.

NS, Thank you for the warning on the sea levels.
