The RoundTable!

[General_W]

- it's perfectly ok Niklas. You're doing good work… or trying to anyway.

It all seems rather Quixotic to me, but I don't think it matters much. Gong/Saber/Free are not being fooled by all of BABE's hot air.

By taking the BABE position in the UN, I'm hoping to highlight the inherent ridiculousness of their position. I think we're going to be just fine, and no one is going to trust BABE again… if they ever would have in the first place.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

btw - I wish to give a hand :clap to Niklas!!

I did not think they would take it the way they did, either, or I would have spent more time trying to craft messages!!!

Apparently, they are still steamed about what happened with SABER and the reaction they got to their thoughts to quit.

Anyway - hats off to Niklas!! I think you have done an excellent job on this.

Maybe we should ask our mods if they think BABE is really pissed or not, or do some backchannels? or maybe not...

Glad you're back, General_W

In arguing the 'Babe' side of things, maybe it would be helpful to publish the last two letters we sent to Babe requesting a peace extension - you remember, those letter that Babe didn't respond to?...

Just in case there are some people following this that are still on the fence, reading those [ignored] letters may help them realize who the aggressor is


Letter of 8/27 (t127)

Letter of 8/21 (t124)

 

[General_W]

good idea, I'll do that!

I'll post it in that new thread the elephant man started.

 

[cubsfan6506]

I think we should request a peace treaty right now from babe. Since they clearly don't want war.

 

[General_W]

- That's a good idea!

If you want to, I think you should go for it Cubsfan...

Something along the lines of "Let's let bygones be bygones and dead MWs be dead horses. Since you clearly don't want war, how about we publicly agree to a peace treaty? Oh, yeah, and to not land units in each other's territory without a ROP agreement."

 

[peter grimes]

How much cash is a MW? 120 each?

We'd have to offer that as well

 

[Niklas]

I tried to hint towards something of the kind already. Yes, 120 gp would be the standard price for a MW, so we should offer then 250 gp to throw in the damage done to the galley as well. Let's see what they say about it!

 

[General_W]

@Wotan's last post in the UN Roundtable post…

General_W summary:

Niklas: BABE has dishonorably broken our treaty.
Wotan: Did not!
Niklas: Actually, you did, here's why…
Wotan: How dare you call me dishonorable? You're a jerk.
Niklas: Actually, I don't think you're dishonorable – it's just a game.
Wotan: Yes you DID call me dishonorable, and you're still a jerk.
​

EDIT: can we let Wotan and BABE quit now? as I recall, I advocated this the first time!

 

[cubsfan6506]

No i want to beat them first. (At first I thought this was the public roundtable forumn.)

 

[Niklas]

@GW: How about posting that summary in the UN thread?

 

[peter grimes]

@Niklas - I've really relished your references to Diplomacy, as the timing (for me at least ) has been... special

And for the record, I know that what you did in-game was the same thing I would have done if the situation was reversed - that is, assuming that I had conducted diplomacy as well as you did

FLMAO at the comments from the BABEs.

 

[General_W]

Proposed edition of The Round Table

I'm giving out some extra details on the war, specifically that our surviving units are holed up in The Nursery. (or it'll be easily impled when BABE sees the save)

I think we DO want this info out there, to discourage BABE from trying to take the town. (they may do it anyway) but I think we'd rather give those units time to heal.

If The Council disagrees, let me know and I can remove details from the paper.

Let me know what you think… (I was pretty rushed on this, but hope you enjoy anyway!)

 

[donsig]

Love it! Don't know if you saw the post I made in another thread, but Kong Joo is named for a student that worked for me in the library and she's a girl. It's nice to know that General Kong Joo (a female) is a leader in our war on the BABES.

 

[General_W]

Glad you liked it!
I did see your post, that's why I singled her out.

Yes, we're very egalitarian here at The Council… never mind that our team is run by all white males

(as far as I know – apologies to anyone here I'm mistaken about!)

 

[Niklas]

Very good!

I don't see where you're hinting to us being holed up in TN though.

Also minor nitpick, shouldn't it be "spearheaded by General Kong Joo"?

 

[peter grimes]

Run the Presses!

 

[General_W]

@Niklas – yeah, I guess it's not any more obvious from this report than it is from our battle logs that the units must have gone somewhere! I'm not hearing any objections anyway, so no worries.

Thanks for the typo catch!

Here's version 2:

I'll post this in a couple hours if there are no other comments?

 

[sirdanilot]

Great! Go ahead and post it!
