Diplo for TNT

Short story... Two of my pals, Kral the Hairy and Metalhead Tom, constantly compete on the golf course. It's just short of full contact golf. Anyway, one day Kral is kicking MEtal's butt so bad that Kral actually begins to feel sorry. Metal nearly blows up and say, "Hey, when I'm down I don't want your damn sympathy! When I'm down you kick me harder."

What was unsaid was, "Because I would do the same to you."

We owe it to TNT to rip their shallow heart out and show it to MIA while it's still beating.

That was beautiful Jb. I can't believe I was so selfish as to have considered feeling sorry for TNT. How awful of me. I'm a better person than that. As our SoDs grind forward, death by belt-sander for TNT is the least we can do to show our respect...

@JB: That was awesome! :thumbsup:

Okay KB, here's your chance to make up for it, and sell me some 'ecclesiastical insurance'.... and that bit about "Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's wife." I totally got that part... no problem.

But let's say your buddy's got a wife/fiance/girlfriend... and she's just smokin' hhhhot.

Is there anything wrong with wondering if she's got a sister?

Well enough of that sensitive crap. let's finish this.

well said jb

just waiting for this answer. :roftl:

While we debate the various dilemmas of Scout's potential love life, let's start thinking about if TNT can't get their act together enough to complete the turns required to get wiped out. What happens then? Is there a precident?

Oh man, on a Saturday night too. I'm gonna hafta noodle on this one, and perhaps pull out my Biblica Hebraica Stutgartensia along with the Septuagent for some cross referencing and the Didace to check for early exegetical opinions.

And uh, knowing if your buddy's significan other is a wife or a fiance or a girlfriend makes a slight (read huge) difference. But I'll get back to you. Don't you worry about it.

BLCG is now playing the game.

If they can't finish, an act of Meleet shall wipe them from the face of the planet.

Then what? - a mad scramble for land?

jb1964 · May 21, 2006

If TNT vanishes in the blink of an eye what do we have?

Land grab for one. More cities needed to lower unit support costs. But how will this be viewed by D'nut. Frankly, I wouldn't want us as neighbors.

We're splt between two continents. Althgough we're strong compared to everyone what are the odds that D'nut and MIA agree that we must go?

Since I don't think this is likely I think we should still push ahead w/ getting MIA to research the upper techs. We will need to be generous to DNut in the short to mid term. We certainly want to remain the preferred trading partner.

Ya know, our flotilla has been getting a lot of attention. In the future a few boats floating in the rear of MIA/DNut could be a deterrant to an attack. Even if they were empty. Just a thought.

Sir Bugsy · May 21, 2006

I think we are getting very close to the tipping point where we cannot be stopped. If we are able to either build or capture six to ten cities on the other continent, both teams together couldn't stop us. Our artillery is to the point now where we can fight a holding/skirmishing action on one front, while we go on the offensive on the other front. Both MIA and Donuts, while strong, could not sustain more than the loss of three or four towns and maintain an offensive against us.

That is why the next ten turns will be critical to the outcome of the game. If we can gain a substantial foothold (six => ten cities) on the other continent where we could not be easily shoved back into the sea, we can fight a two front war.

I agree with bugs (zounds). how do we put the pedal to the metal?

If we could hold either line, in the event of a two front war, and get a pillaging party through, or landed, then it really would be over. However, we don't have much in the way of fast movers.

Sir Bugsy · May 21, 2006

I think right now we could fight a defensive war on both continents. Pillaging parties would be difficult against a human opponent because they won't ignor them like the AI does. Any war will be a slugfest. One must expect countermoves and deception that you wouldn't ordinarily face against the AI. This is the kind of stuff they study at the War College. What makes the other guy tick? What is the other guy going to do? What is the craziest thing the other guy could do and hurt us? You plan for every contingency and then go a littler farther. Perhaps we should start a contingency planning thread for a two front war.

There's something going on by a city called Mezza something so I've pm'd Robi to find out what the deal is. It seems MIA is up to something and they were also getting battle logs along the way.

Simon should be trying to mess up our relations w Nutters and this might be it, or it's just throwing info away. Hard to tell since England won the opening WC game vs. Paraguay and our explosive friend might have had some of that fine ale they have :beer:

Whomp · Jun 10, 2006

Robi just pm'd me that MIA is not on Battle Island. That's what Simon was talking about "Mezza something". I wonder if it's in the way?

Sir Bugsy · Jun 10, 2006

I bet that MIA has created a human shield around a TNT city.

scoutsout · Jun 11, 2006

Simon of TNT has proposed some sort of a mano-a-mano head-on slugfest, where they tell us where their troops are concentrated if we agree to meet them there and fight head on. I'm not so sure it's a hot idea... but here's the chat:
