Karma, thanks for verifying that RAM was discussing further hostilities against DECIDE. Did I mention any spies or specific info? Nope. I just threw a vague 'perhaps' out there and you jumped all over it trying to justify yourself. As I said, more and more it seems as if you set up this situation to provoke DECIDE. Players talk to players and rumors fly. But thanks for coming clean about RAM's intentions and that many discussions about attacking DECIDE have occurred.
Just to be clear--you are saying that RAM has discussed attacking DECIDE "many times"? And the excuse was??? Oh, right...DECIDE nobling in churches in DECIDE-dominant Ks it was? Gee, I don't think you or any of your emissaries mentioned this problem when I talked to you all those many times these past weeks.
Now you are going act all insulted? I didn't use the world "meatshield" -- but you did. Did you set these players up as your meatshields in DECIDE Ks to give you an excuse to stir up trouble with DECIDE? I am the one who should be insulted. You insult my intelligence with your refusal to admit that you recruit our refugees, in our Ks, far from RAM. Would you like to cover the parts regarding the map and why you chose these particular ~B~ members that were in DECIDE dominant Ks and well north of RAM?
Cece, I've been absent for a while now but I thought it prudent to say a few words to you. I'm positive that every player that has had the opportunity to have any dealings with you believes you're truly a class act, that's my personal opinion...but I'm sure it is shared...
We tried to work things out, after the fact, I'll give you that, but we tried none the less. The mitigating factors that kept us from coming to an agreement were all from us as well, I'll give you that one too..
I'm not happy about fighting Decide simply due to the respect I have for how you handle yourself ig and in these forums. The harsh reality is that the options available to us are simply fight (now or later) or hug. Neither of us want to hug
, and I know my tribe mates don't want to play this game that way either......Unfortunately it is what it is. Furthering our diplomacy with Decide only hinders our growth, the same way it hinders Decide's growth. We both want the same areas and we don't want to share. This is how the game is meant to be played. One of our rather more astute members (who Decide is getting to know now) said it best....
"This is tribal wars, Not TribalWAR"........ We've fought on all fronts for a long time and I expect that we will be fighting on all fronts until the end of this world....no matter how it ends...
That being said, game on! May the best side win..
