Deraldin

The list keeps growing.

Ach, cheer up. It's not like I actually betrayed you. And besides, at the time I was considering it, it looked like you were going to finish up in the north far quicker than I had expected, so I was worried you would coast to an easy win. Besides, with an army in every Austrian home centre, I would say that I paid my price for that stillborn Russian alliance in blood. Once the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, Now I am naught but the King of Serboslovakia. :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, they always fall for the crying emoticon... What made you think I was going to finish up north so quickly?

It's terrifying, and yet strangely hypnotic. Like some sort of siren or gorgan. Must not turn to stone... must not turn to stone... must not turn to.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's really quite disturbing...

Pfft. I do have Vienna don't I?

How could you Reveilled? I trusted you and this is how you repay me? :'(

Alright, no "I told you so"s. You were setting me up too. And no Ender didn't tell me that, it was basic logic. I'm the noob. Noobs don't last very long. It was a brilliant plan though. The only flaw was admitting that you and Deraldin had an alliance. From there, you requesting assistance in the south and Germany urging me north was only too obvious: it would have left the border I share with both of you open, then all you had to do was sweep in and destroy me from the inside out. By the time Ender tipped his hand, it was simply too late. All I could do was ride it out. ^ Well Meta, there's my monologue for your summary thingy. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, by the time it got to the turn before you turned on me, I fully intended to honour my alliance with you over Germany. Keeping that unit in the centre of Russia scarpered my plans of an attack against you in the early stages, so I was willing to maintain our alliance at least until we'd dealt with Italy and Turkey. Yeah, I was setting you up, but I was going to wait until there was just two or three of us left. I was looking at it from the other angle, that the "noob" would be easier to control, and a good ally I could wait until the end to stab. Looks like I paid the price for that error! " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *sniff* You were going to stab me and ally with Russia? :'(

How long you survive depends on how soon Ender decides to take sevastopol. " That seems to be my situation in OBS-03. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sucks, doesn't it? <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is my first game of Diplomacy ever. "

Montaron? I thought the Human skin armour was only in BG2.

Yes.... we will make rich fineries to sell to people. I shall make slippers from Elminster's nostrils. Mmm... snug. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Human skin armour?

Are you a fruedian? ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not that I know but the "iv" in Living looks an awful lot like a "y".

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. In that case the only change from "hater" to "lover" plot lines would be you hearing that someone is trying to kill Drizzt...

I think someone should actually make this game. They would get truckloads of money! You could get both the Drizzt haters and lovers in the same game with the same basic plot if you have two choices for characters. For those that like Drizzt, you're actually hunting an imposter who is sullying your good name. " And for the people that hate him you are some random dude chasing the real Drizzt with a pack of dogs for no real reason other than you hate him for some unknown reason. :cool:

"

I could have sworn that this thread was about "Conscious Lying".

Fine I'll bite: In the case of SoA, a villain that helps in some way shape or form advance the main storyline of the saga. Did Irenicus do this? Then no. He fails my definition by default. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I swear we had this thread split to move this discussion to another thread, so would you two give it a rest already? "

Eek, that post was a bit stupid wasn't it? :"> After the shock wore off, I considered deleting that post, but it was late and I was tired. Oh well. My apologies. Besides, I really had no plans, as I was still trying to decide what course of action would allow me to live an extra turn. But I've been screwed from the beginning, haven't I? So... wanna start betting on how long it takes to finish me? :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've got $50 on you going out next year. You weren't screwed from the beginning. You were screwed from the moment that Reveilled missed his turn and thus missed supporting you into Rumania. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh? I don't remember that ever happening. I remember NMRing and losing Galicia to Russia, and I remember supporting Russia into Rumania when there was no move to Rumania to support. I think I remember that happening twice. Buuut...I don't remember missing a turn before Darkside decided to attack me. She was screwed when she decided it was preferable to give Turkey the neutral centres and sacrifice her builds than to get Rumainia and all three Turkish home centres. " So how's that alliance working out for ya, Darkside? " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh. I remember that one of you two had NMR'd when the other was supporting you on that turn thereby making the support fail. Yeah, the giving up all the neutral supply centres was a bad idea. "

Hah! I wonder what happened to Ender.

Actually Gorth's post above is probably the closest to the truth. "

That's only there in threads that you have made yourself, so you have the option to decide if you want to delete your own thread, doesn't happen with anyone elses but your own threads. It would be quite hilarious if you could have it with other's threads though . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That explains why I've never seen it. According to Eldar I've started all of 2 threads. "

Well the number one way is to not ask to be a moderator.

Well there's your problem.

And a different resource model. "

Not to mention the turks in Tunis, no? Looks like Turkey is going for his stab. I think this game might have turned into a race... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's the 1540's all over again! " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not the 1540's! What happened in the 1540's?
