Now to the much professed dishonor arguments:
1. It were dummy followers which gathered loads of "fishermen" on the promises of our scalps- undeniable.
2. It were the dummy followers which asked a NAP after some scuffles,and asked our cooperation to kill Friends ( Prae and Duncan can confirm).
3. This was a double edged sword for us,we knew killing Friends would open the way for dummy followers to secure 44 and venture South in 45,but we were also told it was going to be an honourable 1-1 battle in the end.
Since those that asked had a certain reputation ( now it is not a secret Prae and Erik+myself are in good terms) we sanctioned this NAP.
4. It was natural that for us ,west expansion frowned,only South remained, but first we secured our backs.
No doubt they knew this,unless we suppose they are idiots.
5. Friends gone faster then France in ww2,dummy followers marched south fast instead of securing their Northern flank,killing in the process splits( some say princess kuinni cared only for herself,lol),and were threatening 45.
We followed the opposite course,but while we were marching North some scuffles happened with mosquitoes, lol.
6. At exactly this moment dummy followers started a war with WIB,and( justified with diplo misunderstanding, lol) shunned it as soon as mosquitoes gave a signal about the scuffles with us.
It is very significant, instead of securing 45 they stopped.Coincidence?
Some lads take the rest as dummies in space,lol
7. On the morrow,or after tomorrow,the fisherman show started( please do not tell me it was real since I know that truck driver from Estonia better then you
).
It worked- the reasonable elements in dummy alliance were convinced that unless their promises to their fishermen were made good they risked a split.
8. Duncan Danger ( his Knossos name,the founder of Prae there,lol) tells Erik we will cancel the NAP which had no expiry date( I made the terms,Meta simply copy pasted).
Some informal Skype chats between Erik and Duncan ( after repeated complains of the later that their fishermen were bored,lol) were seized as pretexts.
How can proposals be taken as pretexts for war only Duncan knows.
9. As soon as Duncan finally notified Erik about NAP cancelling the :bored fisherman" turned home after unloading himself on us( a clear breach of faith that dummy leaders fake not to see,lol).
Instead of being offered on a silver plate,he was accepted without even a hypocritical apology(the very same players who now speak loud about dishonor
).
10. Rumour that dummy followers had a secret deal with mosquitoes ( freely circulated since the start) were widespread(including that supposedly WiB too would follow dummy space course,lol).
On the next 2 days ( Feb 28-29),two diplo development happened.
I asked via Poop if mosquitoes would accept a stand off( now we had food on the table),while HG sends a mail to Ruthie2( please no crappy denials since I have a copy
) where it was clear they would work with dummies ( poglavnik Karlito himself announced this himself one day before in his famous mm).
Poop delays answer with pretexts ( c'mon Poop,you should have known I can understand you even without uttering a single word,lol).
11. One day before the war the refusal of mosquitoes and the mail of HG( Feb 29) made it clear we were before a double angled strike,timed in perfection ( as was proved yesterday when mosquitoes striker 5 hours after the supposed end of NAP) to strike a decisive blow on us( they together were roughly 50%+ stronger in numbers).
What to do?There were heated debates in Council,to respect the deadline set by dummies,which was clearly a well planned trap,or make a preemptive strike since clearly dummies had breached both in letter( fisherman case) and spirit( plotted in our backs while making a big dummy smile) the initial promises.
Still,we opted to notify Duncan Danger 30 minutes(enough to read and mm all the chaps) prior to the start of hostilities that we were not bound anymore to the official expiry time.
Duncan was not online(being oped in US server I am told,lol),but it is not our fault an american based player at 18:00 (his time) is offline.We could not have known he wouldn't be online.
This,dummy space of course "forget" to say
Tell your chaps the truth dummie,don't spread lies,since the truth circulates too
No need to prolong with publishing the approval of Duncan for kastis
(do you mind sending a mm to the chaps dummy space to say I am sorry I lied you about kastis in the mm about the fun which starts tomorrow?
)
It was clear that rather then go like the Jews in the "shower bathrooms" to be "zykloned" by mosquitoes after the first musket shots,we must cannon the dummies in order to ruin their plan and SURVIVE!
We are good fellows not good fools
Cheers to all and enjoy what you yourself prepared
