you need to be able to interpret the world realistically if you want to play a power
OOC: well you may do fine at orders but you are rather poor at determining other nations intent, if I remember correctly you were requesting defense against Russian Goliaths, not normally a problem but at the time I was in a huge land war where putting the IC into anything besides troops or artillery would cause my defeat, plus you were neutral.

If I remember correctly, you didn't even have Goliaths! No, I think I was requesting defense against you because you were threatening to attack me since I was in the EEPP.
