Right. Once he FINALLY got some allies, what is the first thing he did? He sends the Mamlukes after me, trying to shove MY face in it. Did he tell you that the reason he didn't attack me himself last turn was because we were allied? I didn't think so. I knew I was getting attacked when he broke the alliance last turn. Some surprise.
You would be we ...[text shortened]... m, you probably ARE getting a little something... sorry, I don't have to buy *my* friends.
Shocking as it may seem, I'm agreeing with no1 on SOME of this, and doing it of my own free will. You seem to assume that the whole rational world has to be on your side on everything.
Sure, he's goading the heck out of you, mainly because you take the bait so well.
In my view, however, it's also because you are trying to take him on at arguing specific and detailed points. He's a lawyer, and it shows. I have a law degree, and perhaps it's for that reason that I see the same flaws in your arguments that no1 does.
The difference being that he chooses to demonstrate his virtuosic mastery of colourful and sarcastic language, and I (mostly) don't.
As for behaving like I'm playing - I now have access to the detailed map, so the only difference between me and the players is that I'm not submitting orders. And, dare I say it, in some cases there isn't any difference at all.
Originally posted by orfeoI think any replacement player is bound to follow someone's lead. If the Mameluke Sultan is the Doge's puppet, Poland is Bavaria's. A merry band of puppet-masters all. (Bavaria and Hungary are dancing like a pair of bears to the tune of a genie lurking somewhere in Venice--or is it the Vatican?)
How have the Mamlukes become puppets, exactly? This is news.
Wow, l don't visit the forums for not even one day and this is what l come back to.
So No1 seeing as you are calling the shots around here, is it ok if l get a cuppa? After that you can tell me where l am supposed to attack next... actually no , sorry l report to Aragon and he reports to Castille who reports to Acqutaine who reports, hang on l am confused. Bosse, do l still report to you?

My mother agrees, incidentally.
What's that mother? England is a harlot? But I don't want to kill England, mother!
All right... yes, mother.
