@ McMeadows

I shall publicy reply to this email you sent me:

G'day Gramps,

It seems we're heading towards a dispute regarding our borders. I see you're moving a settler escorted by some Ekidu warriors into the same direction as I do.

I hoipe we're able to solve this in a civil way. Nonetheless I won't hesitate to move in my war elephants if required. If you settle in that area, you are shutting me off from further expansion, leaving a huge chunk of land for yourself. That is unacceptable. I'm 4th in land mass, so not really making unreasonable demands. Furthermore, the city site in mind (41 from current settler location) is only 9 tiles from my capital, whereas your settler has drifted much farther from the centre of your empire.

I'm awaiting your point of view,
McM

I am backed up into a peninsula

several points to make here:

#1-I dont like being threatened and you have a history of violence for attacking over diliosional paranoia

That being stated

#2-I will back off to allow you some leeway

#3-not much land here though

lots of water

very little land left

In the future I would ask you to inquire in a softer tone,, for real in all my games I am a very understanding and a very giving individual

however

I dont give into terror

I would sacrifice my people to the vultures before conceding to threats..just so we get a copy on that



As for my land thats none of you business..Period!

What do you mean drifting from the center of my empire? Dont you generally migrate outward to expand or do you just sit and twiddle yer leiderhosen?

Im not encroaching on you land..go buy a boat

I have neighbors coming up to my borders now and they take away my futre lands

future because they belong not to me

I would say if you speak nice I am more open to negotiation than being bullied

I await you response sir

BTW..you been hibernating or something?

shouldnt you have been expanding..hence the game name?

Sorry to put a dampener on such a high turn rate game, but I am about to go on holidays for 2 weeks. Does anyone object if we pause for that period, or would a sub be preferred?

Thanks for sharing your point of view with all Gramps. From your reply I sense I addressed you in a language you understand a bit more than usual. I'm happy with this result for the moment and will let the unrational points go by unspoken.

Enjoy your holiday Rick and Merry Christmas to all...

And oh by the way, if that tone freaked you out Gramps, you might want to have a look at your own posts from time to time, sir.

I enjoy all tones afterall its a game not likely you would address me that way in person, if we were a real country and you were some fanatic leading a country to destruction wait thats already taken place

anyhoo..ill play soon

irrational points,eh?

it really isnt rational that we believe this is "real" afterall, it is a game ..you do grasp that concept McMeadows?



freaked out by your tone, not likely
