Oh Chenier you metagame the best...
I think you are such a flake Chenier, its funny how for weeks and weeks Aurvandiil is the big bad enemy and now that Asylon joins the battle, you know you can't beat Aurvandiil so now you are sucking up to Aurvandiil on the forums and IG and turning your focus to Asylon because you know Asylon can be beat easier. You are the ultimate flake and coward and double faced snake. I can see you writing up some big flakey peace treaty. I just hope Mendicant sees through your bul!@#$ and sees the poopy-panted snake that you are and tells you to !@#$ off
Many of you guys will go to any length to win BM... This is the sense I am getting, the two-pronged war of forum warfare and IG... I cannot believe how flakey some of this !@#$ is getting.
I really don't get where you pull this stuff out of... makes no sense with neither reality nor the text you quote.
Fact 1: D'Hara and Aurvandil already signed a cease-fire long ago. Machiavel doesn't need to do squat. Only Terran needs to settle peace with them now, and they don't need my help for that.
Fact 2: Where did I try to woo Aurvandil? I still think its might is highly suspicious, and strongly dislike it. I've never, nowhere on the forums, complimented them or try to befriend Mendicant's player.
Fact 3: The first phrase of what you quoted me on explicitly states I think that Aurvandil can be defeated. The North just doesn't have the heart to make it happen. They'd rather hog the glory then send tens of thousands of gold to Terran, Barca, and D'Hara every week. But they can't hog the glory, because they are too far, so they just fail instead. Doesn't mean they need to fail, they just chose to.
And yea, people will focus on Asylon IG... Did you seriously expect otherwise? You truly are an atrocious strategist and diplomat. And with all of this hatred you guys have with D'Hara, don't act so surprised that maybe the feeling's mutual, for some D'Harans at least.
It is a cute analogy. But irreparably flawed, because you really don't understand. SA doesn't require Mendicant's attention, or even care if he notices. He could literally do anything. Or nothing. It doesn't matter. He has *already* done everything that he needed to do in order to set himself and his realm up as the rallying point and focus. The only thing he could possibly do to change that is to either convert to SA, or die. And the dying would only matter if the resulting regime change produced a radical political shift.
I think you overestimate his focus potential... SA failed to do what was necessary to crush Aurvandil, and the non-theocractic realms are not willing to sacrifice themselves for the glory of others. The coalition will break apart after Asylon is defeated, and a new world order will come to be. Aurvandil, having won against the 'moot and being left stronger than ever, will have free reign to decide what happens next. It'll be their move. They'll be able to start new wars, turtle for a while, or shift their diplomacy. Terran may or may not be allowed to survive. I don't like it, but with things as they are now, I don't see things evolving any other way. I could be wrong, for, as anyone else, I don't have all of the cards. And who knows, maybe the war will re-ignite soon after waning, and the coalition will rebuild itself... But with D'Hara and Barca out of the war with Aurvandil, Falkirk's eminent destruction and Asylon's inevitable defeat, it seems unlikely that there will be anyone else to unite against, because SA is just too far from Aurvandil and isn't willing to do what's required to defeat it.
