The Backstabbers' Table - PBEM 4 Diplomacy Thread

@Singaboy. Is there away around the bottom of Spain's continent so I can get a frigate to Spain's non capital city?

If you ask nicely, maybe I'll tell you.

[Singaboy]

@oledavy, can I ask you to send more ships to Germany's rescue.
Our friend now has sea dogs and they captured my half dead caravel. England is just so ridiculously OP with GA and the stuff they get, it's just insane.

That said, credit to Archduke for a masterfully played game with the hand you are dealt with !

[Singaboy]

@oledavy, to answer that question: Nope, there is no passage south of Spain and I can tell you that the half-assed army you field there will not get you anywhere.
By the way, there is no passage north of Norway to England too.

@CFCJesterFool,
Sorry, but I had to denounce you this turn. You are the only avenue for me to get the inspiration for Nationalism and once I get Nationalism I will make Japan pay for their transgressions. I will make sure to raze the VA city for you. So, please don't declare war on me in the next 5 turns and help me get the inspiration. Thanks!

@TheArchduke,
Four subs around "Who Wants to Live Forever" and my city "Natal". I left room for your units to land.

Oh my god Woden, really? Taking advantage of someone like that: "I will make sure to raze the VA city for you" - at least do us all the courtesy of not being so transparently pandering. 

@CFCJesterfool - I seem to recall a certain someone playing a large role in preventing you from taking Jerusalem.

The cavalry arrived this last turn. I'm afraid a turn too late for Zuckerstadt 

There is a deal waiting for you in game.

[TheArchduke]

The cavalry?

You mean the subs which managed to kill one frigate and in return you lost one sub?

Throwing away ships piecemeal to simulate support for Singaboy is probably not enough.

My suggestion is that you can have piece if you return your unrightful conquests in Spain and Norway.

You probably prefer to fight to the last german though.

[oledavy]

Now now Archduke. We can't all luck into getting the OP civ for this map, first position in the turn order, or an entire continent of free cities and units gifted to us. Some of us have to earn our win. 

If you want to talk peace, you're actually going to have to give me a deal that doesn't suck. 

And lest Singaboy think I'm about to abandon him, any deal would have to include a cessation of hostilities against Germany on your part. 

In the meantime, I hope you like fighting subs.

[Woden]

@TheArchduke,
oledavy, just wants peace so he focus on taking me out when our alliance ends on T160. If you are suffering from WW, just finish the Colosseum. I put a turn in to it but realized I had better things to do. If you are looking for peace, I would suggest a world peace for 10 turns, with oledavy agreeing (and actually sticking to it) to not attack me during the duration. Otherwise, he will just raze my coastal cities and basically take me out of the game and you will be all alone to fight him.

Also, there was 4 subs there, so 3 more to go.

[Woden]

And... oledavy, you better go hide those subs near me. Doesn't matter if I get the inspiration for Nationalism. I will have it done before you can raze Salgeiuro. 65 strength subs aren't going to last long against a 90 strength Battleship.
