I tried to log in but I'm timing out when attempting to log in, I'm using snoopy369.dyndns.org:2063, is that the correct address to use?

Just a quick chat; first half top-down, second bottom-up.

Nope, sunrise is hosting now: 68.55.111.60:2060

Besides, I was in.

[Iamjohn]

Thanks! You weren't when I tried to log in, I try to check first

[Compromise]

I like Banana

[Sullla]

I would like to officially add a line saying,

Donovan, you kick ass! We love you, man!

To our formal message about why we attacked Imperio.

[Zeviz]

Here is the formal message with Sulla's addition:

Banana,

As you may have seen, RB and Imperio are now at war. We believe you may have suspected this, and we appreciate you not spoiling the surprise to Imperio. We also apologize for not formally including you in our war plans. We view this operation, which was planned in part before even T100, as absolutely essential to our goal of stopping PAL from winning the game. Unfortunately that meant not even sharing details or it with our friends.

We also wanted to tell you some of our reasons for fighting Imperio:

*Imperio pillaged and sabotaged RB land during our previous NAP (before they attacked us).
*Imperio declared war on RB.
*Imperio was willing to betray their Templar allies, so it was hard to believe that they would not betray us as well, which meant we could never attack PAL without a huge army at home.
*As part of the same peace deal that included current NAP Imperio agreed to trade us Gunpowder and to attack Templars. They did neither of these things, invalidating the agreement.
*Imperio was never willing to work against PAL to stop them from winning, and in fact continued to trade with them and maintain open borders.

Anyways, the war has started and apparently Imperio's turn player is pretty mad. We'll let you know how things go. We also wanted to tell you we're discussing ways to share the spoils of war with you, but no details quite yet.

Regards,

-RB

PS After seeing your actions, we have only one thing to add:
Donovan, you kick ass! We love you, man!

email from Bananaland:

Greeting Realms Team!

Well, it looks like the fun is about to begin. As you will soon see, we have declared on PAL this turn and have already razed the city of Giza. I am not sure if we will be able to take any other cities in the meantime, unless we can compensate for our disadvantage with a killer game of Civ-chess. We will likely bunker in for now unless an opportunity arises.

Congratulations on your taking of two (!) Imperio cities! That certainly was a surprise, and also made it look like we orchestrated the whole thing. Let 'em wonder. In the meantime, I trust you are preparing documentation for the Disputes thread re: Naldo's accusation. Should be an interesting spectacle.

I talked with Dreylin in-game and we agreed to trade world maps. I hope this was okay with the entire team, as Dreylin seemed to think it would be no problem. It looks like you will have Constantinople out of revolt next turn -- does that mean I can get Horses back? I hate to ask, but it seems that mobilty is the only thing that's going to get me back out of the bunker.

Also, regarding your conquest of Damascus --- where will you head next? I have 2 Galleon I may be able to gift if you are able to take Calakmul. That would put you right across from the Warning, after which we could divide and conquer.

Sounds like another chat may be in order. Drop me a line when you get a chance.

Regards,
Donovan

Hi,

too bad Donovan managed to mail us before we could send something to him, but we should send the message (slightly adapted to the fact that he knows what's going on already) anyway.

[MyOtherCar]

Those Galleons are interesting! We might consider hurting PAL some more, while they still don't have astrononmy.

[mostly-harmless]

What happens to gifted Galleons when we lack Astronomy? Do they stay Galleons?

mh

[MyOtherCar]

Good point. I guess they turn in huge heaps of floating timber in our harbors?

[T-hawk]

They'd stay Galleons. Same idea as conquering a city that has a building or wonder for which you don't know the tech yet. The Pyramids won't fall down just because you don't know Masonry.

[Sullla]

Probably better send off the above message to Donovan before any more time passes. And mention that we'd definitely be interested in a potential galleon strike on The Warning in the future.

EDIT: Thanks, Ruff.
