Imperio: Diplomacy Thread #2

[Swiss Pauli]

Well, Templars have certainly changed the dynamic with their DoW! Assuming they're threatening Cakalmul then Imperio will surely have to head here first to make sure they don't lose a city.

Looks like time for Plan B, or Plan 4, or whatever it was

[Dreylin]

Imperio,

We see that Templars have declared war, with PAL feeding them techs. Maybe you'd reconsider closing borders with them?

I like it.

[sooooo]

Again? Is it just me that's embarrassed to ask exactly the same question 4 times in a row despite getting the same answer every time? PAL have gifted Templars a completely irrelevant tech and that was before templars even declared war on Imperio. Nothing has changed from 2 days ago when Imperio said they wouldn't close borders. If another team kept asking me to do something when I said repeatedly I would not then that would just annoy me.

[Dreylin]

Fair enough, it was really just a suggestion.

[Iamjohn]

I kinda agree with Soooo. Shortly it's going to be irrelevent anyway once we start knocking away imperio cities.

[T-hawk]

The new war gives us another excuse for breaking the NAP with Imperio. Imperio has now failed to both give us Gunpowder and declare war on Templars. Both justifications are somewhat flimsy, but they'll have to do.

[sooooo]

This is for Imperio, to be sent out quickly:

Dear Imperio,

URGENT: Templars have declared war on you. They must have disovered your plan. We assure you we did not tell anyone you would attack. You have under 16 hours to make your move and end turn, so we advise you log in to look at the game. There are templar units near Calakmul but you should have no problem killing them. We are creating a distraction near Constantinople for you.

Sounds good.

Let's PM to Naldo as well.

[sooooo]

Email and pm sent.

Let's PM to Naldo as well.

Let't not. An eMail is enough. Any Imperio units Templars kill are good. And we really are not here to babysit every team.

Not the end of the world, but "They must have disovered your plan" is hardly factual. My guess is they had no idea of the plan and were bribed into war by PAL. But either way, we just don't know, and since the plan being discovered raises the possibility of a RB leak I'd have preferred to not bring it up.

It's not about babysitting, it's about maintaining the appearance of co-operation in order to make the backstab all the more surprising and effective

I got this reply by pm:

Thanks for the information!

I will play the turn immediatly.

But that was about 7 hours ago.
