Hmm could you please leave Scandinavian territory?

[bongo]

Hmm, anyplace you want me to go?

[McMeadows]

Utopia?

[bongo]

Funny you should mention that cause that's exactly where I'm going

[McMeadows]

Hopefully you'll stay there...

[jshelr]

A mongol scout has reasonably decided to join the Russians. Better food and women, etc. Decent sanitation.

Anyway, the Mongolian ambassador protested and, when shown the door, declared war.

So be it.

[bongo]

jshelr , You are a liar, a backstabber and a treaty-breaker.

I'll have it engraved on your tombstone

[jshelr]

When blackmailing someone, it's a good idea to keep the gun pointed at his head.

[bongo]

A lame excuse indeed from someone who once claimed to 'not take part in backstabbing'

You have betrayed both me and McMeadows so far.

Flandrien, do you trust your new 'ally'?

[jshelr]

Bring a good stack

[bongo]

Come one

My army is much bigger than that, not to mention I am militaristic

[jshelr]

Let's see it

militaristic will get you more promotions, but IMO it won't change the odds in the first attack.

we didn't count your laughably weak horsemen. They will just bounce off.

Bring plenty of artillery, but don't let it get too close. There will be longbows and MI units around to deal with also.

[McMeadows]

a little attention to the [b]elite[\b] in my "doorstep" report would be appropiate too.

I don't feel betrayed. Nonetheless, jshelr is play a shrewd game and I don't blame him for that. Bongo is playing it smart too. First he broke the power of the alliance by slamming my unit stack, having the partners run off. I refused to sign a choking peacedeal (jshelr refers to it as blackmail) and as a consequence had bongo come after me. The others didn't move.
Both Flandrien and jshelr don't stand a chance if they don't ally. For that reason, there's no other option than to trust one another. Nice effort of trying to play Flandrien and jshelr out against one another...
