Announcing heihojin's 4th PBEM game!

And finally, my closing argument of the issue. I am so glad that you publicly stated that you will further your morally bankrupt invasion to destroy me. It will make your eventual humiliation in public much more satisfying to me.




OOC: I do believe that to mimic the game's behavior, that my proclamation was and is a valid action. Given that Wildfire has seen fit to reply (something the game would not let him do), I shall now point out why his actions should still be condemned. I have no intention of participating in a drawn out mud-slinging contest. those of you who are offended by my in character writings are invited to email me, and I will take care to not cc you any more of these missives.

My Fellow Despots:

It is with great regret that I now realize that my earlier proclamation has caused to the odious chore of listening to the bleatings of the Persian blackguard. However distasteful the task of reading his bleatings must have been, I beseech you to see the facts underlying his statements.

1. Any communications with a former ruler cannot in any w ay be valid in his defense, as there has never been any communication with the previous regime. They were all beheaded before I arrived. Please ignore his shallow attempt at obfuscation.

2. Hmmm. How far does a warrior on flat terrain see? Wildfire the Perfidious willfully violated my borders to get next to the city of Boston in order to see that it was vacant. If the Persian perpetuates this lie, I will be happy to post a map shot of the area to prove beyond doubt his untruthfulness. Whether dyes were or were not present is irrelevant. Nonetheless, the cad admits that he attacked during a time of peace treaty. Why would he violate my territory, and then sneak attack three seasons into a peace treaty he requested? Because he's an untrustworthy thug, that's why.

3. As for the second city, and Wildfire the Putrid's meager excuse that we were already at war, this is also a poor argument. Since the first attack was unjustified, the second was fruit of that poisonous tree.

4. Wildfire the Perfidious claims that the war is my fault, because I did not defend a city deep in my territory after a peace treaty was put in force. This is like blaming a homeowner for a burglary because he neglected to lock his door, rather than blaming the burglar who perpetrated the crime. The argument is not valid. The foul-smelling Persian blames America for this war because he claim's we need an army to back up our words. All civil men should disagree with this. An honorable man's word is his bond. A dagger clenched tightly behind the back while words of peace are spoken is the mark of of a dishonorable cutthroat.

Once again, I call for condemnation and ostracization of the evil Persian and his feeble empire.

Message from the Americans:

You offer another peace treaty? So you can regroup and sneak attack again in a few turns? Your credibility is weak with me at present. The reason you offer is that you must be weakening. Since you initiated this war and rebuffed my early efforts at peace, the only way you'll get peace is if you pay for it.

Here are my terms:
Tyre to replace the city I was forced to abandon.
4 workers to replace the colonistsI lost in the two cities you sacked.
1 tech as compensation for research lost in those cities.
100 gp as compensation for income lost in those cities.
Withdrawal of your troops to positions north of the great Mojave desert.

Accept my terms and avoid the annihilation of your feeble armies, and the rape and pillage of your western reaches.

My response:

HELL NO.
 
Fair and just compensation, although a counter-offer would certainly be considered.

Wildfire the Perfidious obviously thinks I should grant him peace without condition based on blind trust and his charming personality. What he doesn't seem to notice is that after his initial victories from his sneak attack, the war has steadily turned against him. His armies flee before the righteous American crusade against the Persian aggressors. He has already lost this war. he can buy peace now, or be crushed later.
 
Mine!

Bah - I was 2 turns away from completing The Colossus myself, so I had to settle for my second choice. :cringe:

Say, who's that who's eating my dust in this game? Ohhhhhhh, it's Wildfire the Perfidious. That wonder really suits you with that Colossal ego of yours :D

You can try out second place for a while on your way to the basement :)

And, oh, violating my borders again was not a good move for you. My top secret ninja Gala-grr is within your palace compound at this very moment with an exploding watermelon for you.
 
This evening I accepted Playboy's formal resignation in Game 4, finally bringing this game to a close. The game had become short-handed very quickly, and eventually became a heads-up game between Playboy (playing the Americans) and me (playing the Celts). With each of us possessing our own continent, the game became rather complex and turns became more drawn out. I had a strong advantage in the game in 1460 AD, the last turn we played, and was a favorite to eventually win the game by Space Race. The 1460 AD turn was played in September of 2004, and the game had sat idle since then.

Here are the victory screenshots:
