Yeah, it's kind of a funny thing, I mean it's not as if he put up Burden of Time, or Astral Corruption or something that directly harms you, but the more experienced players often act as if their mother's virtue has been seriously and repeatedly brought into question or something (when the Forge is put up).

I feel the same way as you in that putting up a non-harming global is not an aggressive action, but on the other hand I'm not so sure that dispelling it should be considered outright hostile either, especially given the Forge's power. I mean, it's not really on the same level as an attack, right? If Dominions were real I imagine there'd be a lot of politcal manoeuvring and spin/counterspin, but not actual war. Like CIA behind the scenes 'fighting', but not official political war. Kinda like finding an enemy's stealthed unit inside your borders.

Just my take.

Sending stealthed thugs behind my borders would definitely qualify as a hostile action in my book and the NAP would immediately be void.

Interesting, there's another game thread, I think it's Troubling Times, here on this forum, where the same thing happened, and a couple of players took it pretty lightly. Of course they'd already declared war, and were waiting for the NAP to expire, but still.....yeah, I also think it is a break! Shows how impressionable I am from what I read.

EDIT: The game I was referring to was actually A Song of Ice and Fire

EDIT 2nd: Also, has our sub checked in yet?

Ladies and gentlemen, I salute you.

I'm back on Master Blaster and this time I'm going to sub Meursy. Hopefully I will be more efficient with Abysia than I was with Ulm

Just sent my email to Debaser for registration. See you soon on the battlefield !

Debaser8 · #**175** October 21st, 2010, 09:12 PM

Changed e-mail address for Abysia. Added 24hrs.

Debaser8 · #**176** October 26th, 2010, 01:59 PM

Added 8 hours for TC, because I'm worried he might miss turn.

Herode · #**177** October 26th, 2010, 04:11 PM

Maybe he lost morale after the last turn. Those TC Tartarians are ****ing fragile

I invite TC to admit this war is lost for him. And because I am generous, I will offer peace for the very underestimated price of 12 provinces that TC's armies will have to free ASAP. Hey, that's a deal !

Either that or... endure my wrath

And... what's the situation on the other provinces of the world ?

Debaser8 · #**178** October 26th, 2010, 04:19 PM

They are mostly mine.

Debaser8 · #**179** October 26th, 2010, 09:57 PM

Added 48 hours for TC to show up.

I hate to say it, but I think I'm going to have to concede.

It's partially in-game matters -- I'm coming to the conclusion that I've mismanaged my gems quite a bit, and I'm less convinced of my strategy than I was a few weeks ago. But mostly it's real life intervening -- I haven't had the time to do effective troop micromanagement for at least a month now, and despite the extension, this time around I haven't even had a chance to look at the latest turn file yet.

Sorry to drag this out as I did, but I'm coming to accept that Kailasa will likely beat me anyway, even if I could drag it out, and I just can't manage the level of intricate planning that might give me even a small chance right now.

So, congratulations to Kailasa, and thanks for the excellent game! Considering it was only my second multi-player game, I'm pleased to have made such a strong showing. Hopefully my schedule will clear up eventually, and then perhaps I'll see some or all of you again in another game.
