Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[Gaspar]

The problem is that the 2 idiots are running the show. If that wasn't the case, I think we'd all be a lot less dejected with the whole process.

What is our objective responding to that message?
Not responding or waiting a few days before responding is an opion as well.

[Cyneheard]

Business-like one is good. We can send that and then can take our time if we want to do anything else.

Agreed.

I think our objectives in responding are:

• Be responsive to the game organizer when he's wearing that hat
  
• Acknowledge receipt of the message
  
• Make clear that we're standing by LP

Ok, then your proposal is a very solid one, though I don't feel we need to defend ourselves. Good job!

I'll send that business-like one, I like it.

MH- you're totally right, thank you. I appreciate it. I do need to get called on this stuff. Normally TT slaps me but I haven't spoken to him much of late.

Ahem

Just popping in with my opinion as I have been following this and I'm not sure what any of this achieves.

I really am not a fan of this bit:



I don't know the right word to describe it but it just reads and feels a bit sickly. I think it could be easily twisted to say "look what these RB people think of themselves" and that the whole snobbish elite thing could get played upon by that. I also don't see its purpose other than kind of suggesting a tone of "we are better than you".

I would simply send something like this.



Full defence of LP (which is required in my eyes), but we don't get pissy or give them any ammuntion to start an argument with us.

Any argument we have, everyone will lose. Lets not rise to the bait and lets just get on with things.

[Kyan]

Hah, my apologies good buddy. There were a lot of posts in response, I must have missed that one.

Metra's reply for completedness:

LP was not included in Cc of this message as I never though of this. I brought this same case twice in the organization thread for ISDG to LP and he accepted the accusations without even trying to deny them. He knows well what he did and you all saw that he never regretted what he did.

It was inner fight for me do I have to raise this and point you to about it. At last I decide you should know about it and have the comfort to decide without feeling uneasy with LP. At best, "my hands are clean" now. I dont see this as ISDG2012 organization matter at all, as it is entirely up to Team RB to decide who you will trust to represent you/associate with.

Looking towards great games indeed.

All the best and take good care.

I responded with: Ok, thank you. All the best to you and CFC.

[Sullla]

Well handled, Kyan and everyone else. I think this issue is now closed. Hopefully a nice practice run for the diplo team before the main game starts. Let's try to use this as a model in the future - much better than the "post immediate angry thoughts at CivFanatics" response.
