We tried to give it to him the next age, we waved Sanctus while they were in range, when they made it clear they wanted no war, we didn't tax them. We had our wave and moved on.(remember Sanctus? Must have been the only kd with worse WW than us last age, probably because Bart used them to feed, do his intel, and other ****play until it disbanded) At that point we were still friendly it seemed, so much so that when Bart was desperate for land in his main KD, he waved us with no notice or word. They were again, a much larger kd, only able to hit our biggest few provinces; since we were on friendly terms, he said he thought we'd be willing to help him out... No need to ask I guess. Maybe he tried to contact Pan, but she was asleep, so they just went for the wave. He was confused when we wouldn't just straight CF, he thought it would be freely given(taken)... Well like now we fought back with ops, but unlike now, he had KDs in range to actually contend with, the damage we were doing was actually felt because it put them in danger. He begged us to stop, begged. He said how tired he was, not feeling well, busy with 2 KDs, maybe he had some honeymoon or something too? But he begged, and we did diplo.
That ended with him tagging "Don't fcku with Panthira" for 48 hours, and an eoacf. I would bet just about anything he's still embarrassed and that's still making him bitter and unreasonable now. After that he essentially cut contact, and we saw his hand move others against us for most of last age, since he had a cf and couldn't on his own. Now this age, the instant we weren't in war, they had a size advantage, the first hour in this age he could possibly hit us they started, with no intention of ever stopping. Bart won't be happy until he can make Panthira beg, the way Bart did last age.
Farm us, kill us, have those without the grit abandon and delete... We won't beg. Bart, you are a broken man, I'm glad you can find some solace in this virtual world, since I believe it's all you have.
