By the way, can the real Louis of France offer me open borders this turn as well?

I have the save ... holding it to give diplomacy a chance

As said: diplomacy does require a groundbreaking proposal.

Your armies 'have been trampling about as an elephant in a porcelain shop" (dutch saying), and it is time you started to pick up the pieces...

That is disingenuous coming from the only nation in the world to actually have elephants. I also notice that it is you that are trying to profit from the Dutch situation at minimum expenditure.

OOC: Just to be clear while there is a lot back-and-forth going on between Ruff and me:

I think this is a great game and like the fierce competition.
Ruff, I play anytime with or against you.

It is clear that you know what you are doing.
It adds depth to the game, and it is fun to come up with new strategies to cope with your gaming style.
Can't remember when I had to invest so much in anti-spy measures.

ditto here - really enjoying the role playing nature. Some of the name calling and she-said, he-said stuff is really fun .

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I have the turn, but not got time to play it this morning... off to work I go...

Dutch eliminated. Thanks for the game ricketyclik

 

[ricketyclik]

Thanks for the game y'all. Enjoy the rest of it

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

 

[Calanthian]

Thank you for the game & your commitment!

It's always a character test if someone is willing to play until the bitter end.
You passed that test with flying colours.

Calanthe, the Empire of the Orchid, will continue your struggle against the evil hordes of the WEGD of Ruff..

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I need the email of the French team...

 

[ruff_hi]

check the email I sent out this morning regarding the demise of the Dutch ... it had everyone's email address in it.

Hint: it is the one with 333 in it.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

OK, sent.

 

[Star_Fox]

Will try and send tomorrow.

 

[ruff_hi]

I have it - will play tonight (about 12 hrs from now).

 

[ParadigmShifter]
