[SPOILERS] Twinkletoes - Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!

[novice]

You have made some bad plays in this game, but you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. It's just a game, remember? And Twinkle's Terriers still beat the crap out of Novice's Novelties.

You did marshal an impressive army when Sandover came knocking, and your thread's been a quality read.

[Kyan]

Twinkletoes,

Stop beating yourself up. We all make mistakes. Some of us just hide and don't put them in our threads so maybe they're not so obvious. *cough*

either way, you're a great man and i would always play games with you. Civ5 PBEM in a few months when work has died down?

[Sullla]

While it's true that your opening wasn't the greatest, that's hardly the end of the world. There have been many mistakes by many players throughout the Pitboss/PBEM games. You did your best and had fun. Who really cares beyond that?

[Krill]

TT, I understand that you aren't having the greatest time right now, but you have had fun, and you've learnt from your mistakes. You can't do any more than that, all of us have made mistakes throughout all of the games.

[Sandover]

I have decided to just avoid the whole Oracle discussion, rather than say no outright and get a diplo hit.

Now that was a bad call if I ever saw one.

Awesome amount of screen shots in this thread so far by the way.

[Sandover]

I'm really unsure about Sandover right now, he is so inquisitive and wants to know everything. He's not very tactile about it either, he is just coming straight out and asking with nothing to cover it up. You can say its just being open and honest but he just doesn't stop with the questions.

Knowledge is power. And I quite like power!

The more I read the more I realise just how bad a match TT and I were.

It would mean a lot to me if we can start to share more of what we know, and of what we intend to do. A truthful answer will earn my gratitude and further increase my desire to remain at peace with Germany.

He is turning on the aggression it sounds like.

That email certainly didn't achieve what I intended. I was trying to turn off the need for aggression!

I guess my formulation wasn't particularily good.

[Sandover]

Basically Sandover and SleepingMoogle are in a strange relationship.

My reading of what happened is this:

- Moogle moved scout (Forest 2 Warrior) to Sandover's border.
- Moogle asked for Open Borders for passage through to reach the southern lands.
- Sandover (for some reason) denied him passage and asked him to leave his borders
- Moogle began to retreat
- Sandover is tracking his warrior closely with a War Chariot
- Moogle now feels threatened

I had forgotten about that one.

Too bad that bastard got away!

timmy has gifted me a lot of double-promo Horse Archers

So that's where those came from!

Too bad timmy also ruined your big chance by going in one turn too early. I had no clue those horse archers were there, and my stack would've walked right into a death trap if it wasn't for his moving in on Chillingworth.
