The Return of Spanish Pride PBEM Pt II

[Fiera]

Yes, it was me, I forgot to delete them!

Should I play my turn again now?

[Jay Bee]

It's Chris' turn

When your turn comes be sure to delete events.txt AND run delevent.exe BEFORE playing your turn

[Chris 62]

Hannibal doesn't make those kind of mistakes!

Waku, DIDN'T WE AGREE NOT TO TOUCH BADAJOZ?

Is this your idea of upholding our agreements?

I'm very disapointed you broke your word in this fashion.

[Waku]

Hey, as far as I remeber our agreement had to do with our common border: the Tagus.
When we talked about those cities we agreed that they weren't easy to take.

[Waku]

I'm sorry if I made you think I wouldn't take those cities but in fact I was already planning to do it when we were talking.


ManoloWaku: what did you say about the tagus?
Yankee62chris: say, south of that is yours?
Yankee62chris: Is that the correct river?
ManoloWaku: tagus is the lisbon river
ManoloWaku: and where setúbal and coimbra are
Yankee62chris: OK, the area between the two rivers is our border, ok?
ManoloWaku: what if I come into a war against... let's say... castillian?
Yankee62chris: why would you fight them?
ManoloWaku: well that's what this game is all about
Yankee62chris: well, how about it's our border till 0 ad?
ManoloWaku: and what about Badajoz and Mérida?
Yankee62chris: we can talk about them
Yankee62chris: Badajoz threatens my entire interior
ManoloWaku: same here
Yankee62chris: let's leave it barbarian for now
ManoloWaku: yup, they're not easy to take
Yankee62chris: we can deal with that in 0ad. Agreed?
ManoloWaku: how many turns till 0 ad?
Yankee62chris: no idea
ManoloWaku: well, i will not expand north of the tagus
Yankee62chris: OK, we can do another treaty when needed
Yankee62chris: Or destroy each other
ManoloWaku: he he
ManoloWaku: Guadiana is the river i'm interested in right now
Yankee62chris: that's the southern one?
ManoloWaku: yup the one next to your caravan

Your own post proves you broke our agreement.

Very disapointed in you Waku.

I dispise treaty breakers and those who break their word, it's a matter of honor.

Very well, there is nothing I can do about it, except to aford you zero trust.

[Chris 62]

I forgot to mention, I had a diplomat and plenty of cash, I could also have taken it then.

But I suppose only brute force matters.

[Jay Bee]

Chris, all barb cities in the scenario have palaces. They are unbribeable.

I guess war is the only way to solve your differences, gentlemen

[Chris 62]

I could have still reduced the walls, making it's seizure possible.

I'm to disgusted to talk about it further.

I have NEVER broken an agreement in ANY MP game I ever played, but that's just me I suppose.

[Jay Bee]

I haven't either.

Imho you're right, but I also believe Waku misunderstood the agreement. Otherwise I am positive he wouldn't have conquered Badajoz.

[Waku]

I only agreed to not to expand north of tagus, B&M would remain like they were simply because they were very difficult to take at that moment, what was son long ago that we didn' even know how far was 0 ad (next turn btw). You're free to think whatever you want.

[Chris 62]

I think that you will discard an agreement at your lesure.

Jay, war solves nothing, Waku would win easily.

[Jay Bee]

I know Chris, I was just trying to calm things down with a bad joke

I am not home yet. Perhpas we could talk this over AIM when I get home...

[Chris 62]

It's just a game, Jay.

Manolo is one of the finest people I know, you just have to watch him a little.

[Waku]

Seriously, If only for one second I'd thought I was not supposed to take Badajoz I would have said or asked before do it. I had to look for the log to see what th infierno I had said about that. I was answereing your "compromising" questions with more questions, simply because i was planning actions over B&M to finally say that i will respect the tagus. What's clear is that I still have a lot to learn about reading in english between lines
