Rome only needs it as a base for their fleet of merchant ships, Rome doesn't care what lands belong to who, if we want it we will take it, at any cost.

Farow, you noob. It's going to be just as costly for you, hahaha.
How am I a noob?
Well, I don't know as my navy is much closer and has more time to prepare not to mention the fact I easily can raise a force much larger then they can and bring to the front very fast. My losses from the war could range but #1 Person so far has made casulties on the sea very high.
From Miletus
To Rome
Cyprus is Greek lands. Our country is rising to take the defense of all Greek peoples. Our country would rather peacefully outbid Rome but we will defend our interests for the Greek people and the Kingdom of Miletus. We offered a stern warning before and will do it again. Our country has the military muscle to back it up not to mention this is home ground for us. We you aggressively aim at encroaching on our sphere of influence we do take it as an aggresive act. Even if done with the spill of no blood aggressive diplomacy is just as dangerous.
Back off this is our sphere and we do not fear war.

You're a noob, because you're about to spend 4 ep on an island. Also because I say you are, and I'm so much more a vet than anyone in this NES (Except Feanor, who still joined the NES community after me) that I have the right to.
From Egypt
To Milentus
In the interest of preserving peace we are willing to accept the 4ep bid from Milentus for Cyprus over any other bid.
From Egypt
To Rome
With the current war with Malta dragging on longer than expected and disrupting trade we feel that it is in our interest if peace in the East Med. Sea is maintained, therefore we will accept the bid from Milentus.

To Malta (NPC)
Apologize for you arrogance and Egypt will sign a white peace with you.

No, it is a stupid thing to do.. little islands with such a big world to take... its getting slightly assish tho i admit.

You're saying that because you're a noob too, hahaha.
At any rate, I've whupped so much ass in NESes that you guys should bow down and take notes on what I say is dumb and what's not. Don't take my criticism as a bad thing, take it as a gift.

I'm not denying my being a noob, I'm just saying you shouldn't be an ass.

I understand your concern, Jono, but when I see someone making a mockery of themselves... The only thing I can think of, is "What a noob". If you've been around as along as I have, and have had a profound NES "carreer" as I have, you would understand what I'm going through.

I just got back from boot camp a couple months ago... I improved on everything they wanted to without any constructive criticism. Making people mad works alot better, I guess.

Basically, my point was that we're all 2500 years into the game, so in this small community (of #1PerNES) we're pretty much all equals, so don't act all superior.
The guy's obviously buying the island for what it symbolizes. I agree that it is a stupid thing to do, but it really has little effect on the late game and it is none of business. You could've advised him not to do so, but that was not what you did.
@Fëanor: Sorry, that was the last of it.

Actually, I want the island it is a strategic location. A war with both the Soviet-Carthage Empire and Rome would be more costly then 4 EP with two fronts.
Plus, I have the money to spend. I will spend it as I please and my growing economy and power from acquiring both Crete and Cyprus huge merchant outposts will boost my economy in the long run.
Now I do not see how it is stupid. I may be be paying more but in order to beat Rome's 3 EP I need to do so. Now the island may be worth much less but if I invest in it I can make it pay off its costs in a few turns eventually making a profit.
Not to mention I am preventing Rome from having a base in the Eastern Med. close to Greece to eventually challenge my mercantile and naval control over the Aegean region.

Rome will not forget this easily. Not the buying of the island, but the threats you have made against us. War will come, in due time. Best word of advice, watch your back.
To Egypt
From Rome
We have no anger about your selling Milentus the island as they have clearly outbid us, so we do not mind and thank you for at least accepting our bid on the island.

From Miletus
To Rome
We made threats against your aggressive diplomacy in our region of influence. If you stay in Italy and the West we want nothing but peace but when you move into our region it worries us. Rome's actions of recent against the Maltian merchant empire leaves us in fear as well as your alliance with Carthage. We will not let you have one naval base in reach of our lands. Not to mention Greeks will not be ruled by Romans!

Hahaha... I don't really care what you think, Farow and Jono. I'll continue to call new people "noobs" when they do stuff that I know is stupid. That's right, I said know.
The correct way to go about taking that island, is to spend those 4 ep on a navy, let Rome spend the money on the stupid island, then crush his navy and invade the stupid little piece of nothing. You will have grown your navy, crushed romes, and taken the island. Rome would be forced into a peace treaty, and you'd be a serious contender for power in the mediteranean.
By spending 4 ep on this little piece of nothing, you have only weakenned yourself. Now Rome gets to spend whatever he wants on navy, crush yours and invade that little piece of nothing if he wants. (Which I would defffinetly, if I were Rome.) You're all making threats to Rome, but you're so spent right now that he doesn't need to listen to them at all. No strength to back up the smack right now, is what I'm saying. Naval warfare durring this time can be extremely costly for the power who loses, and extremely beneficial to the one who wins.
I know this from first hand experience, gentlemen. First hand experience. Don't talk to me like I'm your "equal"
