Oh god I am dying here. Are you ****ing serious?

1. I could give many tips on how to pump well, and may do so in a strategy thread at some future date, and none of them involve requiring gc from outside sources. Really if a kingdom can't prepare themselves this age, where you dont even have to use gc to pay for science, they are doing something really really wrong.
2. If we asked them for war, they could just play us along and delay any war agreement, then skip out of eowcf early and wave some kingdom claiming hostile. They know we are the better kingdom and given the choice would decline a war with us. Not all kingdoms are good candidates to make war deals with. Some you just need to wave and see what happens. Let me be very clear about this point, FS is not afraid to war any kingdom on this server on equal terms, most of our war agreements in last few ages involve us giving button away, and other similar war agreement concessions, just to encourage kingdoms to get an "upper hand" against us so they will actually war us.
Nightmare. Not sure if it was beginning or not, a friend turned me on to the game we will say 15+ years ago and I have been addicted every since. Usually enjoyed building kingdoms and being monarch, but lost too many brain cells to deal with that anymore. All I remember from first age i played was seeing like 400 acre Princes.
Smitty87: We have had 7 wars this age, most of them arranged. I cannot recall a time we were not in a war or preparing for a war, and I cannot recall a time when we farmed a kingdom for honor. I do recall a couple of times we were supposed to war someone, offered them time to prep, and they backed out. Maybe your kingdom was one of them, and maybe that is why our Monarch ordered a hit on you, or maybe your kingdom deal broke TBB back in 2009, I don't know. What I do know is that Divinity was always cool with my old kingdom, so I am sorry it happened to you. If it makes you feel better, at least my Monarch was cooler than FS's monarch. They have hit our Elves for 4 days and are not starting to raze us. lol
Anyone who knows anything about FS knows that when we are hostile in an active conflict with someone, we treat it like we are in war. We now have several provinces out of range of some of your provinces and raze is the best option as it ignores NW issues.
My advice is that your kingdom next time should focus one conflict at a time. Even the best of kingdoms can't handle two conflicts at once. Shame that you guys started that second one really, you could have had so much fun with the first one you had.
Pillz: I am serious. There has to be a reason why you guys negotiated a war with an awesome kingdom like Ascension, put in an acre cap, and gave them a week to prep but decided to wave TBB instead of giving them the same terms you gave Ascension. Please, do tell.
While your at it, explain to us all why you are still hitting TBB even though they are almost half your size now? I need a good laugh too.
jmeidema: Why is it stupid to say FS was afraid to fight TBB on an equal basis. Did you guys offer them time to explore to your size? Did you offer them time to prep for a war with you? No to both. You waved them right after Emeriti waved them, and you have not stopped the wave for 4 days. Now, the NW difference is so extreme you had to switch to razing. C'mon man, that sounds like fear to me. You know TBB is an awesome kingdom and you're making sure they don't come back at you this age, and your continued attacks are simply to cause people in their kingdom to quit so they cannot come back at you next age, or the age after. It is a classic move. History is full of people like you. You destroy the things you fear the most. TBB should be proud that they instilled so much fear in FS that FS finds in necessary to destroy them because they cannot beat them on an equal basis. I just hope that the awesome players in TBB stay strong and don't quit and exact their revenge next age. I look forward to reading about it in the forums.
Personally I find it hilarious that you think TBB outplayed anybody(hint: taking 400M in gc aid is ****playing somebody, not outplaying anybody). The bullies here is TBB for taking aid to win a war they should by all rights have lost. What's happening to them now is punishment of the guilty, not bullying of the innocent. They are ofc doing it for the good of themselves and not for "the good of the game". But that doesn't change the fact that TBB deserves every bit of the beating they're getting.
If that is what makes you sleep at night, all the power to you. Also, dont ask the same question, when i already answered it earlier in this thread in response to you, and even used the #1 and #2 formatting that you desired. I will display my responses here too:

ok, this can also be interpretted as.
2) If we asked them for war, they could say they needed time to explore to our size and prep their army. This would take away the only chance we had of beating them which is to wave them while they are smaller than us and engaged in hostilities with 2 other kingdoms. Not all kingdoms are good cadidates to make war deals with. Some will absolutely own us if we fight them on an equal basis, so we must wait for the right time to strike. Let me be very clear about this point. FS is petrified of TBB, and we know that there is no way we can beat them unless we have the "upper hand" against them.
The actions of FS shows their cowardice and explains why they only have 3 wars this age.
We've gotten wars with the kingdoms we want to war. Ones that would give us a challenge or at least a good fight. We waved you guys thinking the same. Guess we were wrong.
We also waved and gave you relations out of our fort into your fort, with like 7 of our biggest attackers with less than 300a incoming (like 5% of their land size) and you couldn't turn that into a war win when we started only 3.5k acres larger than you? Maybe you should stop tooting your warring prowess horn my friend..
Guys go easy on Uncle Ed he has trouble with the truth, but looks like he joined the right delusional kingdom. Lol
