CFC has also taken "advantage" of us taken Wasserburg, and pillaged the cottage 1N of the city with their chariot.

We might need to tell them off as well, just as we had to do with Apolyton.
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width

I can give you one guess what their response will be

How about that is a damned aggressive action for a team operating under a non-aggression pact? Then we bare teeth and growl at them since that's all we can do. frown

Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon

Yes, I like the tone that Scooter took with Apolyton - a smiliar response to CFC would be appropriate IMO. As far as I know Apolyton hasn't pillaged us since.

If we're doing that then I want to start a pool to guess how long their response will be.
Civilization IV: 21 (Bismarck of Mali), 29 (Mao Zedong of Babylon), 38 (Isabella of China), 45 (Victoria of Sumeria), PB12 (Darius of Sumeria), 56 (Hammurabi of Sumeria), PB16 (Bismarck of Mali), 78 (Augustus of Byzantium), PB56 (Willem of China)

We should. No harm in asking. And the response will be good for a laugh. Plus it will fulfill scooter's goal of keeping the team focused on external threats!

Otherwise we could really use a chariot in CFC/Spanish lands for the pillage gold starting 5 turns ago...

That would give them grounds to break the NAP, no?

Yeah I'll try to catch Yossarian on chat soon about this, I think that works better than email for this sort of thing.

As someone mentioned, I think it may be worth telling them if they pillage again, we will consider it to be an aggressive action, and we will end our gifts to them. Feel free to weigh in on this if you have a strong opinion either way.

And what of that? Their army is far away. Let them take a swing. Cancel current deals if they do not respond. We're at war now anyway. Just haven't commenced official hostilities. Certainly them plundering our conquests could and should be interpreted as hostile actions and thus a violation of the treaty. Make them choose either to stop plundering or face military consequences. No point dicking around with them. The sooner we call them out on this the better.
