Danegeld only works if you really threaten someone, not with death, but the certainty of being crippled and forced to hit enter for another 6 months.

Because looking at the theater, TBS has the choice of fighting on the island or letting Jowy have a city in boat range of his capital. If you assume the offer is for peace for an era, or the whole game, it might be worthwhile, but if you assume Jowy's coming back for more in 10 turns, that's a horrible tactical position to put yourself in.

Probably shouldn't negotiate with terrorists.
Edit: although after hitting enter I realize that isn't really the most timely comment to make at the moment. Anyway, probably shouldn't negotiate with Jowy.

Xenu self-censorship is the worst your comment was fine.
What happened to PBEM61 Jowy, the guy that made a lot of sense and played to win ? I thought he played PB28 "casually" which was what made him go back to his old ways but now he's just back to being a troll.
While Jowy has (fairly or unfairly, you decide) been described somewhere around here as a budding psycho gamer he elsewise is a nice guy from what I can tell. I don't think it's self censorship to think better of basically calling him a murderer.

I like to think of him as a freedom fighter.
Actually Jowy reminds me of Commodore. As long as you imagine that everyone he neighbours is Pindicator. 
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57
In progress: Rimworld
Jowy has shown complete immunity to the Socratic method, Tao. Good try though.
