[SPOILERS] PBEM7 Lurker Discussion Thread - No Players!

[Krill]

With the 4 trade routes in his capital? And Bureaucracy? And later academy. I can't remember if I put marble on the islands...but that could easily be worth 10bpt, 20bpt if others grow their cities...

And I didn't think people would cram quite that many cities onto the starting landmass...

He doesn't have marble. Still seems like a too long-term investment to me. At least he shouldn't be worrying about competition for the wonder.

Serdoa has guaranteed me a safe flank, plus will send a unit through my territory to Moogle's land and scout for me.

Not much to say. I have told him that I can guarantee him a safe flank if SleepingMoogle attacks him (which he is certain that will happen and I know that it will because... well, that comes also later). He seems to understand that as if I do guarantee him a safe flank but that is not what I wrote him. I wrote "I can guarantee you a safe flank" and I hope my English is not that bad because I understand that in the sense of "I could if I wanted to". But I do not want.

And if someone thinks that I lied to him and that I am untrustworthy - guess what, I feel pretty much the same about him telling me that there are no horses. He told me that I have shown with my attack on Dazed that none should mess with me and still did. That is now what he gets for it. I'm standing to my allies, but if somebody tries to play games with me, he is better prepared to get crushed when I find out.

Not cool, Serdoa. You've got a point though in that TT should have picked up on you acting like a loose cannon throughout this game.

To be honest I think SleepingMoogle and Serdoa should be able to carve up TT easily without resorting to lies like these.

[Krill]

TT really needs to sit down and play an MP game or 10 with someone.

[Krill]

...And Serdoa is likely to be pissed, right?

Fun times

[Tatan]

So, let's see, how long did it take for scooter to sniff out almost all of TT's and Moogle's plan? 0 turns?

[Bobchillingworth]

If he had been more considerate, he wouldn't face this

Written without any hint of irony...


And now TT is looking to give even more cities to Moogle, just to spite Serdoa. Because Serdoa was a little too brutal in his honesty, as opposed to Moogle who only, like, threatened to attack TT unprovoked. WTF.


TT, dude, the reason Serdoa was so condescending in his message to you was because you've gone and happily gifted away a good chunk of your empire to an antagonist in yet another game, and this time you didn't even try to fight for any of it despite having had ample warning. Given that situation and your record, I think it's entirely reasonable for other players to question your ability to sucessfully prosecute a war without having you hands held.

[novice]

It seems to me TT desperately wants to avoid warring, period. He'll only go on the offensive as a support character, and is actively angling for that role. He should play an always peace game as all he really wants is to tech and build.

I think it's kind of funny how TT ran into Sandover's unorthodox diplomacy in PBEM3 and is now facing Serdoa's similar abrasiveness in this game.

[novice]

You know how sometimes people say cruel things, and you still can't help laughing, because it's funny and it's true?

I wish I had the good luck to start next to Twinkletoes, it's like being next to a Noble AI - free goodies!
