Just an idea, needs refining:
Contact GS (My home comp is down right now, someone else will have to):
Tell them ND attacked
Tell them we want to remain neutral
Explain our position to them:
we cannot attack ND, they cannot attack RP, but perhaps there is a way we can both profit here.
Tell them the following:
We are signed to a deal, they are signed to a deal, and these deals are contrary to each other. It is in our mutual best interest therefore for one of us to get out of their deal. The only ways to do this are as follows:
Us backstab ND: Not going to happen
Them backstab RP: Not going to happen
Us ensure the swiftest destruction of RP, thus eliminating the ND contract and opening ourselves to new ones with GS.
Ask for a RoP, but make it understood that ND will be informed if GS is comming from our northern border. We agree to allow them to tell RP of our movements as well.
Why they should sign:
RP seems willing to gift away threatened cities, we agree to threaten the cities that GS wants first. After all, it still reduces RP cities, does it not? We have no beef with GS
.... It still accomplishes our goal of wiping out RP AND it gets GS what they desire from this conflict.
Agree that we do not interfere with them and ND, they do not interfere with us and RP. Perhaps even hint at the possibility of straight up sharing Bob with GS. Let us destroy RP, we will help with ND after our deal with them is done?
By the time this is all over, Vox will have some force again, We get Lego building to war, even if ND is wiped out, with proper diplomacy, a good chunk of Bob to ourselves (a better empire even than what we would get under current relations with ND), and Vox/Lego behind us, we can still screw GS.
