But at least as what I've seen shows, nobody seems to have considered that (from what I've read on the forums) FS made an equally ridiculous request of ED last age. (FS is at least to some extent the pot calling the kettle black)?
Notwithstanding that having played with Parth I know he can be stubborn as **** to deal with at times, if a kingdom decides that as part of their diplo they are going to be difficult they should expect to receive the same treatment back from their peers. From experience ED understands this and expects the same back in return when they choose to be difficult.
This means that when ED/FS are unreasonable in dealing with each other, they should each expect the other to be unreasonable in kind. What it doesn't mean is that when FS decides that they've been outplayed (in this instance, like ED may have been last age) they can run to their friends like a child, play it off as it ED is the bully, and act like a total hypocrite.
Kudos to BB for at least doing something to resolve this, and kudos to Parth for agreeing to act reasonably (which I'm sure for Parth was difficult).
But I'm sorry, Pyro and FS each look like children in the way this has all gone down. Nesta - if your "allies" get themselves into a crappy situation because of their own terrible diplomacy it looks pretty bad on you, running to their aid to help them act like hypocrites. FS - you just look like hypocrites.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, I do not speak for ED, I have not spoken to anyone in ED about this, and I pretty much couldn't give a **** about basically all of you. But I repeat you're pretty much all acting like children. Except for Tedurur. That is all.
