I'm not reachable when we dont want to agree to cf/extension? What a joke, ASF.
In our last 3 ages (which you started being competitive) I can remember almost all the times we dealt, and I was always available. And I was the one able to call the shots and I knew what we wanted and could and couldnt accept. It was always you saying “sounds fine, let me get back to you in a couple hours, maybe 6, while I check with council", and it was always me pinging you back when time was up for a follow-up talk. The kd and diplo was run all by me and CJ back then, a 2 man council essentially and there was no excessive need to check back and forth.
Let me refresh your memory. 2 ages ago in Year 0-1, we agreed to a 48h notice deal after my killer avian tapped your faery once, and you tapped me (the dwarf that went on to be huge) back once, we both agreed to ambush each other's hits and close to a 48h notice deal. Thereafter, like 4 days later we wanted to make a deal longer and more concrete in order to plan our explores better, a duration based one or at least a 72h notice. You were the one dodging and stalling, and we had to resort to sending you a 48h notice right away just to make you talk. Remember that?
The next time we talked was when you were in EOWCF with BB and we had already beaten CR and was preparing for next fight; it was always going to be either you or Shinra. If you extended, we fight Shinra; if not, we fight you. You and I dealt and I was always available and we eventually agreed on a deal that I have never ever made with anyone else before in the game, and not yet till now. It didn't take me too long to finalise a deal as complex and "novel" and I never stalled at any point in time. It was a Y7 CF, with one way option for 2 week extension only exercisable by Emeriti.
Tbh that decision was a risky one for us because nobody was to know what the outcome of the Shinra war would have been and we would have been fked if we didnt win by the margin we hoped to win by. Or we could have put the direction of the crown in our own hands and fight you there and then. Nevertheless we agreed to extend and I was very available for discussion and and that decision gave you the strongest cow in the game albeit only lone cow, and we went on to beat Shinra by 18% land or something. This was something that surpassed our expectations of course, I would not deny. I did not expect them to play as badly.
The second age we dealt, was last age. And you're kidding me if you claim I was unreachable when I was on the front foot. Early age we both lost our wars, but you were in far worse shape. I still agreed to CF extension readily and was always available promptly. I was even open to ideas and actively negotiating and proposing offers that both sides might find beneficial, like deliberately setting CF end dates before our Pew and Simians CFs expired. That, until leshrak decided to ignore me for 7 days in a row.
So tell me now, since when have I been dodging or stalling when I am on the front foot? The only time I have ignored diplo is now, and I have openly stated why, and that's because I have nothing to say to you regarding this issue.
I do not know how your diplo with BB goes, but they have never in my memory been one of stallers in whatever position they may have been, and I say this having fought them for 5 ages and only being more friendly as a KD last and this age.
