But since it's a matter of indifference to me, it's no big deal. I almost did take the skull because you're a pompous jerk, but I'm on the site to play chess not to increase a rating no one cares about.
BS - I went away for a week, started posting on the 1st and moving on the 2nd when I said I would. Thanks for waiting, but stop changing the subject.
So stop saying when I make truthful statements I'm saying BS or rubbish; you've done it several times and have been blatantly wrong each time. Make a bloody fool of yourself on your own time. And if Suzianne wants to make every single one of her posts here personal attacks that are not even ingame character then it's tough titty what I characterize her as. Stop playing the knight in shining armor rescuing the fair maiden; it's not even good for a laugh.
Originally posted by no1marauderAs their income far outstrips yours, any battle which results in near equal losses is a victory for them. They can rebuild those ships in one turn. Can you?
I measure it as the Heathers losing units worth 146 Gold (96 of that ships; 6 Royal Galleons and 6 Medium Galleys) and Italy and the Mamulukes losing 138 Gold value (60 in ships; 3 Royal Galleons and 5 War Galleys). It would have been more in our favor, but apparently King Phil erred and put some Siege Machines in rank 1. In CS it was a bit more lopsided with our enemies getting an entire force worth 1392 Combat Strength destroyed to our 980.

One of the points to this game that I have been trying to make since about turn 4, I believe.
A victorious battle does not mean a victorious war.
Originally posted by rwingettYes, they've been given such an overwhelming advantage as have you. All Italy can do is continue to defeat them for as long as possible in battle after battle. Sooner or later, Bavaria will win since it's been decided by the other players that Bavaria will win. The fact that he's had such a large advantage for many turns and still manages to lose battles is a measure of his extreme incompetence.

Originally posted by no1marauderActually, it is a measure of my determination to whittle you down, since I know I can outspend you, numbnuts. Some wars are wars of attrition.

Originally posted by KnightWulfeSure, you brilliantly PLAN to get your fleets and armies destroyed! You lost 400+ CS more than Italy and Mamulukes, genius; that's not normally how you win a "war of attrition". If any of the other realms ever grow any cajones, all the strength that you have lost due to your mismanagement may come back to haunt you. Of course, you didn't have that problem in Saluzzo; the Poles arranged their ranks so they would take all the losses, you didn't even have to lose any Peasant Rabble while they lost Boyar Guards.

Originally posted by no1marauderYa know, it is not even worth agruing it with you. You will see it your way and there is no other way you will see it.

You have won a few battles, we have both taken losses, but you have not gained a damn thing in our war. You have lost. You had to flee from Venice to save your skin. You had to expand into a weak area to even expand. Yes yes...your plan has worked out so much better than mine.

Originally posted by KnightWulfeI've had no stooges willing to let themselves be destroyed to allow me to win. Whenever you've had to face my forces on anywhere near equality, you've been smashed. You're militarily incompetent; it's quite amazing it took you 11 turns to take Venice during which time you managed to win not a single province anywhere. Yes, your strategy was utterly brilliant; even now Hungary could lay a smashing blow at you if they chose to. BTW, did you mention to ATY that the Spanish are about to declare war on Sicily and all those spoils you've been blathering about that he's sure to gain won't be available? I'm guessing after Italy is finished you'll join Spain to turn on Hungary; he's weakest (which you like), Aragon is still at war with them and you are cooperating quite friendly with Spain. If he was smart, he'd read the tea leaves, but as that would break the rule about helping Bavaria win I'm sure he'll just be waitingfor his eventual, inevitable betrayal.

This is a game and ya need to get over it.
Originally posted by KnightWulfeIm talking about the game, clown. If you don't want to talk about the game, why do you post here? Maybe you should get Poland to join up and post in this thread; I'd luvvvvvvvvvv to see his analyses and explanations.

EDIT: I did say thanks for waiting. We're in an interesting sacrifice situation which should be unsound, but we'll see.
