I think that the Norway Army & unsupported fleet into Kie deal breaks were seen in completely different terms by us both. You prob thought that it was just the way it goes and nothing more, when I found them to be pretty black marks on dealing with you. We could only cooperate so much, yet twice you broke agreements on that and so it was really hard for me to trust you. I was honest when we were arguing after the Norway thing that I struggled to see why I should trust you again, and then I decided to work with you and give you another chance and it worked to begin with and then you didn't support me into Kie.
I operate very much on a fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me idea so that's why things fell apart.
To be honest with you, I could see and understand why you did what you did (you had a much stronger ally you could trust than I did), but within the game I couldn't reconcile that with really being able to trust you. That said, I'd happily play another game with you sometime as in a different situation we could probably manage our differences better
Oh yeah after the unsupported fleet into Kie I had no expectation of future cooperation, that pretty much made it clear I was just out to take your stuff. Norway army is I think where our perception of what was going on diverged most, I saw it as a "well, I cant follow through on this minor promise, but I won't do anything with it", an annoyance for you but not a very important one. I suppose that perception was shaped by the fact I knew that I really wasn't intending to be particularly anti-russian at that point in time, versus you had to care about the worst case scenerio.
