Zargon,
Would removing the leader talk be better?

Ok, let's have some fun then. 
We hope you realize soon that this is not productive for either of us. Happy to talk about our relationship going forward when you're ready.
Best regards,

NH's Riifling ETA was t181, and KJN found a way to get it down to t180. Given the amount of population going to units saying something like t182 +/- a turn is reasonable.

No, kjn made some comments on how we might drop it down to t180. There is no concrete certainty that we'll be able to do that.
Anyway, I've told scooter that our Rifling ETA would be eot181 if UCiv lends us all their gold.

We are estimating that with your help, we can get Rifling on roughly T181-T182, give or take a turn.
Thanks,

Okay. I took a liberty here with Apolyton. I decided to go with novice's original draft. I know two people felt iffy about the phrase about the leaders, but there was not a consensus against it, so I went with it. Someone said they thought they'd be mildly offended by receiving this. I think that's actually kind of crazy, because if I started a dogpile on someone and received this message, my reaction would be "huh, that was a lot nicer than I expected." I know because I have organized dogpiles on people before and received much worse than that  . So I sent novice's draft with a cosmetic edit or two.

Novice - I hope you don't mind me signing my own name on here despite it being your words (I also switched "we" to "I" a couple times). Just figured it was best to keep my name attached for consistency's sake.

I support these actions. +1 etc.
So, basically, it's war until they cry Uncle?
Who have we identified As the:
Easiest to buy off?
Easiest to mend fences with?
Easiest to cow through military action?
It seems like the best we can do right now is hold on for a bumpy ride. Kudos for our efforts outgoing up until now, I just see little else happening for the nonce.
tl;dr screw these assholes. Let's just winnnnnn n n.

They're all pretty secure in their military right now. Neither of them will talk until we smash it good

I thought about this and ultimately agree. I do wish I was more confident in our ability to back it up though.

I wouldn't post this with regards to this particular war. Things are much more evenly balanced (tech lead v production power) than they were last time.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.
