Yeah, considering CFC, who was weaker than us, just ran over them in a half dozen turns, while we are much stronger and have WPC tying down German troops, and we are probably looking at a minimum ten turns more slog before this war is over.

Yeah, Moineau is with CivFr.

Wow, and people freak out over this team's nitpicking.

I think that the fact that CivFr is posting at CFC but not replying to our messages is not encouraging at all. It shows that they are involved in the game and they just don't reply on purpose. Sigh, I doubt we'll get to work with them.

My thoughts are they don't want to help #1 (and we are, apparently, #1. They just went and cut #2 down a notch). They want to approach it all on their terms, and will at some point make an agreement with CFC for a safe border to eat English 'Poly.

Those French are abit obvious. Maybe we should poke poly and cp again since there is nothing todo.

We have waited for a response from CivFr long enough I think. Even if most of their attention is aimed at CFC, I would have expected at least some sort of acknowledgement by now, even if it was just to decline our offers.
So let's send a PM to CFC to test the waters. Perhaps the situation with the French will make extending the NAP a more palatable choice for them.

I prefer the "don't say shit anymore" approach for the various reasons stated here. The constant asking for NAP's will be perceived as weakness.

Agree with Yell0w. I think it's more important to get some more OBs with other teams than to chat up more with CFC, who has set out their attitude to us pretty clearly.
I think it'd be better to offer some happiness resource to Univers in exchange for open borders - they have several large cities that would give valuable trade routes.
