Hahahahahahahahahaha. Hey looks CFC showed their true colors. Too bad it is a few turns too late for us to effectively sabre rattle and marshal that army along our border over their diplo bullshit. Seeing the CFC reaction to our power spike in their thread postgame is going to be pretty funny.

We'd best leverage the next few turns before we DOW the Germans as best we can to bully the Western teams around while we can.


Ceterum censeo CFC...

In all seriousness, I don't think we should say anything at all.

I agree with this. I think we should not respond to CFC for now, until we have something else to say. We should keep a couple of units in CFC territory to check for troop movements towards us.

You are aware we have a NAP with them for 25 more turns, right?

While we're throwing out fake messages we'd like to send to CFC...

Re CFC ... nothing irritates someone that wants to talk like that as much as a short message. Even nothing is less irritating. As such, I would suggest sending the following ...

It worked wonders when my a girl friend of mine sent me a 'Dear John' letter.

Re CFC's communication - can we spin any of that to the other teams and get them on our side. Something that pulls out the key fact that CFC is plotting merry war against almost everyone on or around T175.
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.

Given the reaction in this thread about revoking the resource deals, and CFC's general attitude, I am not so sure. And there is nothing wrong with some sabre rattling without declaring war. I'm sure CFC's massive whipped army has nothing to do with our buildup.


If we do any diplo with CFC whatsoever we should confirm that the NAP remains in force and they aren't going to weasel their way out.

CFC Wrote:Hi Scooter,

As promised, here is a response to your question about the NAP.

We are aware that some of your NAPs, as well as some of ours, and many other Teams' NAPs with each other, are all expiring around the same time. To borrow from GRRM, we think that this potential "chaos is a ladder of opportunity" for us and we prefer to let as many NAPs as possible expire in order to leverage the uncertainty into the best possible situation for our team. To illustrate, our current extended NAP with you has necessitated that we give up numerous potential agreements that would have been much more lucrative.

So this time we want to take some time to see what new offers and opportunities will reveal themselves as the expiration of these many NAPs draws closer and then expire. We are confident that there will be much better offers on the table form many Teams, when the NAPs are at or near expiration. We welcome your thoughts on this.

More specifically, we (and you) are aware that as the current leaders (congrats on that BTW) your best strategy is to maintain the status quo with long NAPs and deepen your lead. But at the same time you (and we) are obviously aware that we want to be competitive too. So rather than just jump into another long NAP that only serves the purpose of giving you guys a more secure hold on the lead, we want to think about options that will serve our goal of making us more competitive for the lead.

We hope that is more clear. Thanks again for your patience.

HAHAHA. By the way, this was definitely written by Sommer.

I'm more pissed he quoted from the Show rather than the Book. Maybe we should send them the spoilers for Sunday in case he's been only watching the TV show? Embed it in the middle of a word salad so you accidentally read it.

I heartily endorse ASM's suggestion.

If we're going to send anything it needs to be very short and along the lines that Ruff suggested. Either that or nothing will be fine.

Of course, it would have been better weeks ago when we still had some leverage/opportunity.
