Two ages ago, Emeriti and BB warred early with Emeriti winning and giving a generous long cf. Emeriti got a war deal with Alice in exchange for not waving them early and giving a free long cf for them to prepare for the agreed war. Alice continually ensured Emeriti that they were preparing to war us and keep the deal. When Emeriti gave them 48h notice, they subsequently went and made a deal with BB to dodge us by warring BB 1 hour before our notice was up. BB knew full well of our given notice and also of our war deal but they still went forward with helping Alice deal break us and claiming the farm war rewards for themself. Emeriti had already fully trained and prepared before BB helped Alice deal break us at the last hour before our notice ended. BB's arranged farm war resulted in BB farming huge land and Emeriti being deal broke and sitting trained up for a week. Had Emeriti not had their farm war stolen, Emeriti would have probably ended up crowning that age since that farm war would have put Emeriti in great position relative to Pyro.Originally Posted by Darkie89
I'm not trying to throw sh*t, just point out that claiming you never arrange farm wars is not true and in that case, you arranging a farm war with them after we had already noticed them resulted in both a deal break on us and probably cost us a crown.
Yes, dorje estimated that the war was about 50/50 prep wise. Emeriti had decided not to accept any cf less than YR3 and was excited for the war and had a general feeling of confidence in being able to win even though BB was well positioned. Emeriti did fan Bours fears of being a farm and suggested he quickly get his cf's in place, especially with BB whom both Bour and Emeriti believed would try and farm him out if Emeriti and BB cf'd (which was in discussion). Emeriti never wanted interference in the BB vs Emeriti positioning or diplomacy and only wanted Bour to get his own CF and not be farmed. We recognize that Emeriti had a role in Bours feeling of a sense of urgency of needing the cf before getting farmed and "inception" that resulted in Bour hitting into post war. He thought that hitting to force talks and not be ignored and immediately offering the land and extra back for a cf would be no harm to BB and get him the cf he needed. He was wrong, it was a mistake, and emeriti made a mistake for pressuring him to get a BB cf asap by any means necessary when they should have instead been urging him to play with honor even if it resulted in his #1 prov being farmed.
Emeriti has a standing offer with BB leaders (expressed in pm's) to make appropriate concessions to restore BB's positioning relative to Emeriti. I understand that it's not as simple as just fixing the land lost at this point and I have asked BB to help figure out how to best fix things for them.
