Team Babe Embassy

I say we say we will begin attacking their galley's.
 
That would certainly bring retribution. Besides - we may not be able to collect all the goodies from a DAB arrangement if we are the aggressors!

Let's try for a second letter first.
 
Proposal for immediate release:

Dear BABEs,

We see you've reached our shores in your never-ending quest for an open beach party.

We assume that your lack of response to our previous request for an extension of our peace treaty is answer enough…

But on the off chance that our letter got lost in the mail, we thought we'd try one more time to see if you'd like to agree to more peace.
Currently, our treaty lasts till the end of turn 129, and we're 100% confident you wouldn't even dream of attacking us before then :) … so how about we use these remaining turns to agree to something even longer… before you face competition on the high-seas when Astronomy starts changing hands?

Yours Truly,
General_W, speaking with the Voice of The Council

EDIT: Sent to BABE gmail

I think it's a waste of time… but I'm happy to send it since there seems to be support for doing so.
Any edits or comments?
 
Sure, send it off.
 
Looks good. We could try a little deceit by saying it lasts until the end of turn 129, leave a landing spot on turn 129 where only part of their force can land.

Not sure it will work though...
 
nice letter. :thumbsup:

I'd love the words Contractual obligation in there but maybe it's wrong to annoy Wotan at this point... :mischief:

Sure, that's worth a shot. Edit made above.

Do you think we can really hold them off that long anyway?

:lol: I love that!!! I'm getting so tired of him saying that in the turn tracker thread.
But yeah – not a good move if we want to have snowballs chance in Jamaica of this letter being well received.

Should we threaten them with muskets?
I considered that… but was afraid that it would make us look scared. They KNOW we're weak to them.

My initial idea was to sign the letter,
Yours Truly,
Pikes, Muskets, & Ancient Cavalry, speaking with the Voice of The Council


And we could still do that if people think it doesn't make us look scared?
(as reminder, Scared is bad because it will make our wall of defenders less impressive as they'll be more likely to assume it doesn't go on forever)
 
What I'm a little afraid of is if they land without declaring war on us, forcing us to declare on them. They can therefore land before turn 129 and wait for us to break the treaty.
 
I somehow doubt that our reputation will be hurt in the Court of International Opinion for declaring war on someone that just dropped a boatload of MW's into our territory. :) Treaty or no.

Only downside is missing out on the war happiness. But that's not worth giving them a full turn to land more troops.
 
I like letter and agree now is not the time to poke fun at Wotan. If BABE attacks we will have plenty of opportunity to do that.
I share dl's concern about a landing without war and suggest we block and try funnelling BABE west now. The bigger a blockade we can show them the larger our chances of avoiding war.
 
I think we shoul let Babe land in our core. There will be no place for them to defend.
 
Ok – that's enough support :) Thank all.

Sending now to BABE gmail!
:salute:

Er... forgot about the debate on how to sign the letter.

Any comments on that?
 
Leave out the muskets and whatnot from the signature, just send it away!
 
:agree: Sending it off now in the interest of time.
 
Works for me.

one of the nice things about muskets is that they have that 2 attack - which means that they can knock off MW as long we clear out the pikes covering them, too.
 
Obviously, diplomacy didn't work.

I suggest we send BABE a message such as:

It is with sadness and anger that we see BABE MW on our land. We are sad that peace is no longer possible between our nations, but even more angry that a landing took place in violation of our peace treaty and that it came like a sneak attack, with no formal declaration of war.

Such a landing can only be taken as an act of aggression against our land and, as BABE does not possess the honor of it takes to simply declare after such an aggressive act, we will do what BABE is too cowardly to do and declare war, in all it's brutal ugliness, and we shall show the world the perfidity underlying the lovely, lying exterior of the BABE nation.

The forces of BABE will die endless deaths on the shores of the council. Long live Chamsuri!! Long live The Council!!
 
Looks good to me. :salute:
