I think we should settle this whole misunderstanding the old-fashioned way: Niklas and Whomp in personal combat.
I want in to.

I'm in...no islands. Pangea to the death.Hmmm ... 2v2?
I really don't understand why Whomp is trying to paint BABE's invasion of the Council as anything other than an invasion. Sure, maybe BABE wasn't intending to attack...yet...having a stack on the shore to prevent a SABER-style blockade while they bring in a BIG attack stack would certainly suit their purposes.
It's rather dishonest to claim that such a landing isn't an invasion. We can get away with that kind of "uh, oops, sorry" responses when the AI boots our explorers, but that's not how diplomacy works against thinking opponents.
Boo, Whomp. Go ahead and sucker-punch the other teams, but don't try to claim that they started a fight when you're the one who started something.

Yep. BABE hasn't broken any rules, just a treaty. We have no OOC complaints, just diplomatic ones.I don't think that The Council is saying that you broke a rule by landing units. They are saying that BABE is being dishonorable, and that other teams should not trust BABE. This is a purely in-game matter.
If there hadn't been the other 13 GALLEYS waiting to unload units off our shores, we certainly hadn't reacted this way.All this hubub is over TWO MW's!?!
Looks like somebody got some cheap war jollies.
So it's me and cubsfan vs Whomp and Beorn-eL-Feared? Bring it on!I'm in...no islands. Pangea to the death.
Aztecs for me then.I suggest you each pick a tribe with an AA UU on a small/tiny panegea map. One of the PBEM map makers probably has one these Death-Match maps on hand for just such an occasion. I also suggest a regent or less level to get things done quicker.
Could one humbly request for full battle logs? Sitting in the Gong Lib, burping Pyramid Beer and reading ol comics (they're really ancient y'know) is getting kinda boring. You could post the logs here and make spiteful comments on your opponents stupidities . Oh, and pics attached please!Niklas said:If there hadn't been the other 13 GALLEYS waiting to unload units off our shores, we certainly hadn't reacted this way.

, or have you read our team thread?
Everyone should recognize that the Council's announcement and subsequent discussion is in-game propaganda. It's role-playing and part of what should make multiplayer civ fun. When a war starts, each side blames the other and vilifies the enemy.
If you don't take everything as a personal attack, you may find games can be enjoyable.
More explorers, Magellan didn't circumnavigate the globe with one ship.

Wotan, you're mixing things up. Please read what Chamnix said, quoted below. There's a HUGE difference between breaking the rules and breaking a treaty. Breaking a treaty is perfectly allowed by the rules. It is an in-game, in-character offense, which is very much part of the game. Everything I've said on the matter in this thread has been totally in-character, with absolutely no ill intentions or hard feelings towards the players on the BABE team. It's propaganda, no more no less. If you break a treaty with an NPC in a solo game, the AI won't trade with you again (diplomatic repercussions), but it doesn't mean you're cheating. This is no different.I have just about had it with some of the comments thrown at us in Team Babe.

You cannot ask us to play by the rules and game mechanics in Civ3 when it suits you and ask us to play by some implicit interpretation of what constitutes war and peace in another situation when that suits you better.
Exactly. We are not calling you bad players or cheaters or anything of the sort. You landed a force on our continent, and we explained in-character why we thought this was a violation of our treaty. We didn't expect you to care much since you seem very set on bringing war to our continent anyway. You're the big bad enemy now, and we'll employ whatever propaganda we can.Everyone should recognize that the Council's announcement and subsequent discussion is in-game propaganda. It's role-playing and part of what should make multiplayer civ fun. When a war starts, each side blames the other and vilifies the enemy.
