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.
Such cynicism.

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.

I 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?)

Keep it under your fez, nook, but we all report to Novgorod. Problem is the messages never get through, so we muddle on as best we can, eh? It's all about who looks good in uniform.

You could say we've been following Arles' lead, as he's been in front. Who can tell the dancer from the dance?

As you can all see from my icon, this comment really offends me. I may be taking some few suggestions from France, who appears to me as a pig named Jody whenever I walk close to that cold spot in my bedroom, but that doesn't mean I'm not my own man.

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.

I think you need to delete one [b ] from somewhere in your post to make it appear in non-bold type.

Whole bloody Bates Kingdom, more likely. He could have a whole franchise of motels, state funded by the Aquitainian government.
