Default is this an AI trick? or does it really work?

I got this message from the Ermor AI in my solo game...

Quote:
Simply send 6 magic items to the nation at the top of this list, cross off that nation, then put your nation at the bottom of the list and send it to 5 other nations. By mid-game you will be receiving enough items to equip ALL of your commanders!
IT REALLY WORKS!
So should I really send these items to Ermor?

(its a JOKE. Im just kidding)

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

Oh, that's rich. It'd be funny if they actually taught the AI to try to scam the player.

Makes you wonder if we really WANT to have AI's that can outsmart the average player.

It'd be funny watching the AI scam and deceive the player. Probably easier than making the AI strategically and tactically skilled.

Actually this does work. I have made over 10000 gems a month on this program and you can too. In my book I explain exactly how to set up your gem business. Within 2 months you could be recieving Gem checks as large as 5000 to 50000 gems each. Just send $29.95 plus shipping and handling to:

I take it Ermor's pretender was a mummy?

Given that this is a pyramid scheme.
