Obviously you have nothing that you actually want to discuss. Your intent is to pick me apart in attempts to cause disscent with my allies.

How about if you plug up your pie hole until you actually have something constructive or useful to say?

I'm just telling the truth, sorry it hurts your feelings or deflates your fragile ego. You're the one ducking, dodging and spouting blatant falsehoods and ridiculous stories; I'm discussing the topic of the thread.

"Your allies" - why does that phrase ring soooooooooooo hollow??

So you're saying keeping promises and trusting allies is contrary to having "a lick of sense"? Looks like the truth behind your "I am so noble and honorable" crapola is coming out.

What a hypocrite! Did you actually think about this post at all? Did Bavaria "keep their promise" to help Poland against the Teutonic Knights? Did you "keep your promise" to re-ally with Venice? This post wins the all time "Nerve" award!

Did we mouth on and on about how honorable we were and then call someone stupid for being honorable? No...

If you can name a single time in this game when I've broken my word, you win a cookie. That being said, if someone was soooooooooo stupid as to give me a chance to destroy them with mimimal effort when they had done absolutely nothing to earn my trust, I probably would. I wonder how many players wouldn't?

Looking at the Headquarters page--what is the meaning of "scouting"?

That is, I think, a vestigial remnant of the same game engine that runs the Dragonwars game by the same outfit. In that game, there is a limit to the amount of the map that you can see, but you can share your map view (scout) for another realm.

So, I'm confused... IS this a sewing circle, or not? And how can I win a cookie?

In Dragonlords you have the ability to conceal certain units so nobody can see them. Other units have the ability to scout for concealed units. I presume that is what the reference is to. Dragonlords appears to be the only one of their games that has this feature, or at least the only one I've played that has it.

In Galactic Warriors (which I'm playing) certain starships have cloaking abilities. You can also pay "resources" to spy on enemy or ally.

Because it is echoing through your empty skull?

Rather than running your mouth with childish insults, stop being a whiny bitch and give your opinion (if you're not soooooooooo dimwitted you don't have one). Your plan to attack Calabria was obvious when you refused to ally with Sicily as well as Venice; you're so transparent it's pathetic. Damn shame you were too dumb to get that turnfile in; it would have been a slaughter.
Oh, I have an opinion alright but you don't want to hear it and I sure don't want to enlighten you... then I would be the stupid one... sheesh...

And no, my plan to attack Calabria was not obvious... at least not to you. When I gave my reasons for not needing to ally with Sicily, even you said at the time that what I said made sense and that you were satisfied with the explanation. I'm transparent? Then why did you have to be told about the invasion before you acted, even though you were already suspicious?

And for your information, the turnfile I did submit that turn did not include any invasion. I immediately scrapped the plan when you broke our alliance (and you call *me* transparent... a true thinking man might have laid a trap for me instead). I might be dumb (especially when compared to your almighty intellect)(haha!), but at least I'm not completely stupid, nor blinded by my hyperinflated ego.

Are you STILL not clear on the diplomacy part? Do you STILL insist that this is just a wargame?

While Tactics in this game may be fairly obvious, Strategy is not. Plans for what will happen 2 or more turns from now are the lifeblood of this game. Why should anyone tell you what they're going to be doing turns from now? I might remind you that in the few instances when you have done so, what *really* happened was far different.

What's it like to live in a little tiny box and assume that everyone else does the same? I could just see you as Hannibal... "Why the hell would I drive elephants over the mountains? That's a stupid idea!"
