2 players gone and Bogarus continuing on their rampage, although Marignon's PD struck a mighty blow this month and caused a truly absurd number of afflictions to one of my tarts, I have a newfound respect for curses.

Are we finding yet another round of subs, or will my once/turn concession request actually work this time around?

How did you count two players missing???

Micah, I think you should stop requesting for a concession every turn. There will be no concession.

You want to win the game then do so. It is VP game, not some 400 province open ended game. Besides, your nation is the strongest that is clear but I think you are underestimating the other nations.

BTW, next turn you may see some evidence to the latter statement.

EDIT, got an in game message from Mari - ok it is two players missing alright.
Well, if that's the case then why don't we end our NAP?- Let's duke it out and get this one over with.

Oh, and I think I'll try to find new subs. Out of fairness I have to give it a try before turning their nations to AI.

I'll sub again, which nations need a sub?

The Nation of Ulm hereby dissolves any NAPs it has with other nations - it is now time to claim our rightful throne.

Marignon. I'll ask slayers_ai to bring you up to speed. Please send me your email address so I can put you in control.

Micah, since there is no point in prolonging this game any longer I hereby cancel our NAP. If you like we can wait the three additional turns, though we may as well skip that and allow hostilities to begin immediately. I'll leave the decision to you.

Well, so be it, how long was our NAP for again WL?

I only started "underestimating" Marignon and asking for concessions once I had smashed both of his armies and made significant progress against him.

As I said when I asked the first time, I will stop asking for a concession when I feel I am not growing in power (relative to other nations, at that) turn after turn. I suppose an impending NAP cancellation can count as a valid threat to my win though.

Regardless, I'll be surprised if there was much duking, late game fights tend to resemble scared girls slap fighting since the value of provinces is so much less than the value of now-fragile SCs.

And I would like tg to take Utgard, not Marignon, if he is alright with both, since we had good relations while he was playing the first time.

Micah · #**749** June 15th, 2009, 12:13 PM

Oh, I'll take the time, thank you. There's still quite a lot of Marignon to digest, and 2 front wars even when one is just a land-grab are unwise. I'll see you in 3 turns.

WraithLord · #**750** June 15th, 2009, 12:35 PM

Very well. Three turns it is then.

Ultimately the decision which nation to take is tgbob's. I object to him switching to Utgard now - after he has already agreed to take Mari - since I revealed some very sensitive information to him and moreover since he has already received Mari's turn. Having that knowledge and having received Mari's turn gives him an unfair advantage where he to decide he wants to switch sides now.

I am looking for sub to Utgard though and I'm willing to extend hosting to increase the chance of finding one.
